    USB vs Battery and how to determine low battery on LED (Penlights)

    I have an idea for you to check out, the acebeam W30 lep. Only 500 lumens but very intense beam. It has a secondary light that turns from green to red as the battery gets low, and it is compact. Yes, New York is not the friendliest state out there for self defense. Unfortunately most of the...

    Delving into LEP

    I have an Acebeam W30, nice light but compared to my Deft-x a little too blue. Looking forward to what improvements you can get from the current offerings.

    Your Standby/Backup Generator ??

    There is a trick to getting an air compressor started with a small generator that a farmer showed me. You have to open the bleeder valve to the tank first to ensure the compressor has no resistance, once the compressor is spinning at speed close the bleeder valve. It is not perfect but it will...

    Lumencraft is Mine

    Looking forward to seeing what you create for us enthusiasts. Keep it simple and it should sell quite well.

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    That is one of the best ideas that would drive more people to Mag light. Something bullet proof with easy to source batteries that fits in the pocket unobtrusively. If they could get a decent tiny on it and do all of the usual colors it might be a hit.

    The Sky Lumen Laser Throw Compact Giveaway

    I have learned that nature can give many surprises. 3 black bears, 1 bobcat and a golden eagle all seen from my back porch. Open eyes can see a lot. 666

    Dog walking and coyotes

    Let us not forget in central New York we have been seeing coyote wolf hybrids are starting to appear. I saw my first one 3 years ago and they are as big as a German shepherd. I would not want to run into one without some form of protection.

    Highest lux, longest thrower. Aspheric preferred.

    No downside that I could find other than needing a lot of open room to get maximum distance. I live in the middle of the woods and my W30 can hit the clouds with very little problems. It doesn't get hot on long runs and is not much bigger than an Eagtac M25C2 and slightly lighter. It only puts...

    Highest lux, longest thrower. Aspheric preferred.

    As someone who has a Deft-x and an Acebeam W30 I can tell you that lep is the way to go. Absolutely no spill on a beam that can go over a mile. I am waiting for cold weather to get rid of the atmospheric moisture so I can get a better idea on how far it will throw. I still enjoy my Deft-x from...

    Pandemic supply chain in your area

    I was out yesterday shopping and noticed no paper towels nor Puffs tissues. Plenty of meat on hand. Myself I picked up flour and sugar, I have plenty of yeast so all good on baking aspects. Plenty of TP in the stores right now, hopefully no shortages this time around.

    Dog walking and coyotes

    I had a 300 pound black bear walk into the beam of a TN42vn pushing around 2500 lumens. It got within maybe 30 feet before it decided it wasn't worth the trouble. About 2 months before that I 400 to 450 pound black bear just stare back at the same light. Wild animals can be unpredictable at best.

    Effects of Fog?

    In foggy situations the narrower the beam the less the back scatter. Avoid the lumen chase, focus will help more than lumens. A neutral to warm tint helps as well. In central New York it is foggy most of the summer so I have tried many things to cut through dense fog. My best lights for this...

    Pandemic supply chain in your area

    Things are still holding up well in central New York, the only thing that was getting scarce was Alavert. I hit 5 drug stores in Oneonta and only one had any. Must be in high demand right now. Everything else seemed normal other than no spinach, that hurts a little but I can get by.

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    Always find the silver lining, my better half confiscated my my green mag clone that is an incandescent light. I bought it for myself but that is the breaks. I need to get me some of the newer varieties, all I have are incandescent and early led varieties from Lowes black Friday sales from years...

    Coronavirus - II

    Harro, good idea. Sanitize from the inside out with a single malt. If it wasn't morning it would be an excellent idea. I always find it enjoyable to pour one and enjoy the wildlife that nature supplies.

    Night Shift

    It is far better to have and not need than to need and not have. I have way too many lights but I still look for new ones to fill some holes in the arsenal.

    Night Shift

    Compassion is a rare trait these days. Many times I have tried to lend a hand up to someone who needs it. Sometimes it is rewarding, sometimes not so much. I always keep an eye out for those who need it. A lot of tow behind campers parked along back roads in upstate. New trend this year...

    Master thread for disasters and generators.

    Yes, still no power outside of Cooperstown, still on generator run refrigerator then freezer. After that bed. They will hold overnight. At least I have enough to run the important stuff. Richfield Springs got hit pretty hard, I went through there to go work for the last 11 years. Really scenic...

    Master thread for disasters and generators.

    Tonight I got to put my generator to use. It is a Coleman powermate 2000i. Enough power for some lights, a television and the amplifier for the antenna. At least I can watch television and keep some lights on in the dark. I bought it 5 years ago and only needed it 3 times but it is handy. I can...
