    Fenix TK75 4000lm differences from same light.

    You might be able to get an answer if you post in the Fenix Store forum, or email them directly.

    Can I charge my 18650 batteries with solar (off-grid in Africa from Jan to May)?

    If you're going to have a vehicle, you could also grab one of the Anker chargers that plug into the power port. I got the better of the two they offered about 6 months ago (it was something like an extra $1) and I've been very happy with it for charging a variety of devices.

    I've been really happy with my Fenix RC11 and wouldn't hesitate to recommend one of those.

    Small floodlight

    If you're trying to light a room or similar area, have you considered something like the Fenix CL25R or CL30R lantern?

    Battery Storage?

    For home, I get the ones like timtim2008 posted, and the ones made from the same material that hold a dozen. I mostly use them for Eneloops and lithium primaries - I keep alkalines in the original boxes (and would only use them in flashlights in an emergency anyway). Away from home, I use the...

    Keychain Lights (Reliable)

    If you're open to a 10180 that charges with micro USB, I've been really happy with my Factor Equipment Ghost 130. Two levels, 8 and 130 lumens. Great battery life. I really like that it's stainless steel, so even after riding around with pockets full of keys and other junk, it looks like the...

    Does the Olight flashlight manipulate the review on amazon.com?

    I think one thing that affects reviews of certain lights is, having walked by $1.99 lights in the checkout at the grocery and drug stores, if someone goes out and buys a $60 light, they're almost sure to like it. A lot more thought and research probably went into the purchase than with...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I just ordered a Lumintop Tool AAA in copper from Amazon, $24. I've been wanting a copper light, and that seemed like a good price, so I grabbed it.

    Maritime industry / EDC recommendation

    I never miss a chance to recommend the PD35, my first really good light and still my favorite. The RC11 has some advantages, but I really like the size of the PD35 (in my opinion, smaller isn't always better). I don't really feel qualified to comment on the right light to use at sea, but...

    Ever used crenellated strike bezel?

    You can get those glass breaker/seatbelt cutter tools for under $5, and almost all under $15. Or a pocket knife with one built in.

    Ever used crenellated strike bezel?

    To be honest, I don't even understand the point - I'm not sure why one bezel would be better than another for any purpose, unless you consider the ones that let you see you've put your light down without turning it off. While I get the potential benefit of something like a 3xD Mag in certain...

    What is the best 10180 flashlight?

    I've been completely happy with my Factor Equipment Ghost 130. It works great, holds a charge longer than I've been able to resist topping it up, and the stainless steel doesn't show any wear after riding around with my keys for a few months.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I'm using my CL25R as the main light in my bedroom, while waiting for a replacement for the regular lamp that went bad. And it's working great :)

    CL25R Update?

    Two things come right to mind. I think there's a plastic sticker on one end of the battery, to keep the light from turning on in shipping or whatever. That could still be on, or it could be in the light (which would account for two batteries not working). The other thing is, I had one that...
