    Flashlight for emergency travel go bag

    Great question. The flashlight would be for general use. I might need to crawl under a desk to look for a loose cable or a might need to go into a new-to-me conference room and don't know where the light switches are at. Throw, while fun, is not a primary concern. The most likely worst case...

    Flashlight for emergency travel go bag

    The title sounds far scarier that it really is. I'm not sure of a more appropriate name. From time to time, my work have my travelling to fix or address things. Sometimes I might need to take my personal vehicle, but quite often, I am taking another vehicle such as a rental or company car. I...

    Anyone with the Beta Magnetic lose the magnet in the quick release? I lost mine today. Been having winter storms off and on for several weeks and I have been keeping this light on standby. Used it today for a moment and notice the light wouldn't turn back off. After examining it for a few...

    Ever lost a Flashlight?

You wanna know what I like? So won't you give me on it if you do? Katie bike go fast and make me want it. I feel...

    Tesla robots = Violently advanced!

    This is nothing more than an improper lock-out, tag out incident during a maintenance event. The language used was so disgusting. Sure, many people will chuckle when a person gets hurt in a funny way. Automated machinery is no joke and to casually laugh and talk about a robot attacking a...

    What is the Rolex of Flashlights?

    Subjectively saying, I don't think a "Rolex" brand for anything can truly be established anymore. Sure, you have your "old guard" type brands per se that everyone knows of such as Mag-lite or Surefire. Now there are so many smaller niche companies creating outstanding products that can rival...

    Ever lost a Flashlight?

    I'm currently down 2 lights. I am not concerned because I think they fell into the void....... otherwise known as the backside of my desk and I really don't want to start pulling stuff out of there.

    Any old school computer builders here?

    The family's first computer was a commodore 64. I remember going to computer shows and they were like the wild west. Everybody was trying to get into the business and stake their claim. The first cpu I bought with my own money was a Cyrix 486. Way cheaper than the Intel version. Fun times

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Needed to replace a water pump, thermostat and Blower motor resister today. Maratac 26650 flashlight was used to light the way. Just to be on the safe side, recharged it during lunch time. Plenty of light for what I needed.

    Was hacked once on PayPal. Looked up the address where the account fund check was being sent to. Fancy rich looking area in Texas. Yeah, that got reported real fast.

    One of my peeves about cell phone photography and video is when folks don't orient the camera the proper way.
