    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    True, but my main reason for buying an EDC2 would be for the extra capacity, in terms of duration rather than extra lumens, The tradeoff in dollars vs size vs duration strongly favors the smaller light. For my purposes. At this time.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    There you go! Simplicity and power; EDC1-DFT has become MY EDC, to the dismay of my old Backups. I've been tempted toward an EDC2, but it's on a back burner because, really, the 1-cell model seems just right under the conditions that I carry it. Life hack: I just opened a new batch of Sabre...

    Extreme distance flashlights, what their use?

    I was walking the dogs in a big field the other nigh, and there was a lot of ground fog. Shone the light vertically, and it was very interesting: bright shaft of light going up about 9-10 feet, then it seemed to disappear, as the beam passed beyond the fog zone. Relatively useless, but...

    Anyone else SICK & TIRED of hearing about "AI"??

    AI will be used to delude the masses, who are too lazy to think for themselves. It will be responsible for entertaining them, according to the parameters that have been found successful. It will not end war; mankind produces a sufficient number of sociopaths who will not cease to strive for...

    UV LED flashlights currently on the market

    I picked up a Convoy C8+ UV flash from William Gardner at Way Too Cool. Powerful, filtered light, uses one or two 18650 batteries. Comes with charger, extension tube. First one I rec'd worked with one cell; 2 cells was wonky. Emailed Mr Gardner, he popped in a new one into the mail quickly...

    Surefire Fury Intellibeam doesn't work with Surefire 18650s

    I have a Fury Intellibeam that came from Surefire with a 18650B. It has worked with no problems, and gets daily use. I find it to be very handy around the house, which is NOT why I bought it; I was interested in the 1500 lumen beam, and didn't care for having to cycle past the intellibeam...

    Help Choosing a Headlamp for Night Hiking

    I picked up a Zebralight nH503r for trail walking at night. I decided that wearing it on my head was useless, as most of the light was spilling onto my glasses before it could reach the trail; what I need to see is terrain underfoot. I've wrapped it on my wrist, but while that worked it was...

    Please help me find a perfect tactical (not tacticool) light.

    My extreme preference for a flashlight is for 2 settings, Hi-Lo, with Hi being the default. I've carried mostly SUrefires, and am happy with them. Their old E1B Backup was a favorite, because I liked the tight spot beam. The new ones have a spready beam that I wanted to avoid. The TIR head...

    Show Us Your EDC Folder

    from what I understand, Benchmade sawed u a bunch of guns at the request of the loccal police dept. No good deed goes unpunished, and the tendency of conservatives to eat their own, while aided and abetted by the media, which delights in sowing discord among its enemies, elevated this into the...

    Show Us Your EDC Folder

    Spent decades of my life looking for a real one-hand knife. Finally Benchmade came up with their Axis Locks, and I went through a series of them. The McHenry was the first one, but the folks at work were skeert by the big blade, so I moved to the smaller Osborne 942. Then things outside got...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    Strong agreement about knurling. Slick is bad. Surefire, you listening?

    Does anyone like Surefire anymore?

    I haven't read the entire thread, though I did the first 2 pages and the last 2. I wasn't an early adopter of Surefire lights; I thought you'd have to be insane to drop $80 on a flashlight, though of course I couldn't afford it, so obviously those grapes were sour. Eventually it happened that...
