    Anybody remember Tekna Lights?

    I still have one I bought new in 1987, I just haven’t seen it in the last decade, perhaps because of the other 300-400 lights “lying around” that all work. Getting ready for an interstate move to Texas(along with 3 generations of family on both sides), so I am actually going to do a new and...

    Where did all the oldtimers go.

    Hey Selfbuilt, You were instrumental in introducing me to lights. I read every review and many of my purchases were because you made a complex Topic easy to understand. I had some serious health issues & had several years away from social media and for a while life itself(nearly died and spent...

    Lumintop tool AA extension

    Even though the Lumintop Tool doesn’t have the capability, back around 2008-2010, Olight had the S15 that was available in titanium, stainless steel or anodized aluminum that could run with 1,2 or 3 body tubes(AA). To overcome the driver issue, it could handle a single Lithium rechargeable of...

Still have an amazing collection but have slowed down a lot. I...

    a Man of Few Lights

    Would You Lend Anyone Your Flashlight ?.

    I loan my cheap lights to anyone. My other lights, it depends. My tools, to my youngest son only(which is not a great stretch as in the last few years that is where a lot of them came from. One exception: I would loan any of my lights to Chance or Mark(Ven) without concern....

    Recharging an Olight 16340 Built-in chargeable battery in a regular charger.

    Just a word of caution: I have 3 Klaurus 16340 cells with built in USB charging. There is a distinct warning NOT to charge them other than via the USB port. I had not remembered this and put 2 into my VC4 charger-both cells swelled, splitting the wrapper & were very hot to touch when I removed...

    Are Copper Betas lacquered?

    I have had my Copper Beta QR a couple of years & it is not lacquered. I use a polishing cloth gently on the light & the “indentation” rings I try NOT to polish; the result is a nice polish on the light with almost a purplish Patina on the rings-it doesn’t show well on photos but I think it is...

    An Romantic gift for the Valentine's Day

    I first met my wife on 2-7-1980. Our first date was 2-13-1980. On 2-14-1980, I showed up with a dozen long stemmed roses & a box of chocolates to accompany her to church. Knowing she was “The One”, I took my grand-parents wedding rings and had them resized and a larger diamond put in the wedding...
