Candle mode

[ryaxnb]

I really like my MiniMag Rebel flashlights candle mode. Any other flashlights that can do this?
This is a bit of the unsung feature of the minimag rebel; candle/lantern mode.

there are a few that you can take the head/reflector off of, but one method that sometimes works even better is a diffuser like an opaque film canister or chap stick cap or plastic bottle cap put over the top of a light.

i use it as a lantern, so frankly that doesnt do much . it diffuses the light, but plain tailstanding is better. what i like about candle mode is literally candling it: setting it on a table and using it as a small power outage/camping light. it is as bright as a lantern on high but much smaller (though runtime is just about 3 hours as opposed to 15.)

The old Jetbeam Jet II IBS has a removable head/reflector so you can use it in candle mode; powered by a li-ion cell it puts out 250 lumens, which is like walking around with a garage worklight..

You should check out Zebralights, they're all candle mode.

The Proton Pro's will do this with bezel and reflector removal. Also the old Fenix E1. I'm with Lynx_Arc about just making some kind of diffuser.

My Zebralight H60w is a fantastic light! You can clip it to clothing or use it in the headband or stand it on its tail. Plenty of output for most tasks too. Decent run time from a rechargeable battery since it uses an 18650 cell.

the nice thing about a diffuser using it tailstanding is you get light downwards on the surface while candle mode tends to put just about no light downwards.
