    Fenix TK61 replacement

    I have a Fenix TK61 that I bought back in 2014. I haven't really kept up with lights the last few years but it's rated at 1,000lumens and I noticed a lot of their other newer lights are rated at 1,000 or better even ones running off one 18650 battery. Have LED's come that far in the last 7 years?

    UV light picked up at a Gem Show

    A buddy of mine picked this up a while back. Seems to work pretty good. Cost him around $100 and as soon as I saw the batteries I knew something was fishy. I'm guessing the person selling these just got the host and soldered a UV light on the board. I haven't been messing with flashlights much...

    What would get you excited about flashlights again?

    I was pretty excited when I ordered a fleshlight. I hate that damn thing. It doesn't light up anything at all!
