You like floody sub lumen output? 🤣A sheet of GITD resin.
Yes, I'm amazed by the cellphone apathy thing, too.What does surprise me though, is how most people (not on here, obviously) don't even consider keeping a flashlight in their car. They think the light on their phones will be fine in an emergency…
I like something that wont blind me, and stays lit through the night. I can also shove under the seats, hang it outside, that kinda thing. Best part is no batteries required, but I do keep a UV light on me to top it off if necessary.You like floody sub lumen output? 🤣
When I said I had a Convoy T4 in the car, I wasn't quite being honest.
So now I'm thinking I need a couple more lights for both our cars, but ones that can STAY in the cars.
Any suggestions for a could of cheap, 'not so nice' lights that are just as useful as a T4?
Yes, they're cheap, but the issue is that they are nice, so they run the risk of being taken out of the car and used elsewhere. This means they won't be in the car when needed.Aren't Convoy T4's less than $25?
I can't imagine anything much cheaper
T5 if you want a wall of uniform light. For car duty I prefer having the hotspot of a reflector for both range at night and looking into the car's many crevices (especially during the day), so the T3 is worth a look. That or the T2, which is just a downsized S2+ and about as pedestrian as a Convoy AA gets.Yes, they're cheap, but the issue is that they are nice, so they run the risk of being taken out of the car and used elsewhere.

I'm now thinking I need a couple of single AA lights, maybe T5's?
‘Pedestrian’: yes, I like the sound of that!T5 if you want a wall of uniform light.

I used to ask people if they thought it was a good idea to use their phone as a flashlight in an emergency. They would usually say yes. Then I would ask them "When the light finally dies how are you going to call for help?" It might be fine for a inconvenient event but for not for a real emergency.What does surprise me though, is how most people (not on here, obviously) don't even consider keeping a flashlight in their car.

Murphy's law dictates that preparation is pointless given the grand scope of eventuality, and therefore Batman is easily an existential threat because he can overcome such eternal odds.I used to ask people if they thought it was a good idea to use their phone as a flashlight in an emergency.
