    Longest running on AA or AAA - LED light in low mode on the market in 2022 ?

    If you are handy, you could buy a kit for a Joule Thief circuit. They will run on an AA or AAA battery that is considered to be dead and too weak to run anything else, lighting up a few LEDS for many many hours. I've not ever run a fully charged battery through mine, but I would assume you...

    Rechargable Flashlight for Rural Yard Use?

    I would suggest checking out the Astrolux EC01. Under $50 shipped with included 21700 battery. Comes with a sleeve for 18650 battery use, so you can use your spares. Has built in USB-C charging too, so no need for a separate charger (some 21700 batteries are too long for older chargers, but...

    MS18 at night in blackout town

    And some of us would be happy if Imalent would replace a flashlight that was received DOA, and then mailed back with an RMA, after sending a clear video of what was wrong. They refuse to honor the warranty, saying that the package with the broken flashlight might have gone to another vendor in...

    Thermal Max? Astrolux EC01

    Thanks for the prompt reply, but it didn't answer my question. I know exactly how to do the settings, as stated above. I'm quite familiar with Anduril. The question is...what is considered a safe MAX setting? Is 65°C (149°F) safe? Should I go higher, lower??? I want him to get the longest...

    Thermal Max? Astrolux EC01

    I've had my EC01 since they first came out. With that said, A friend recently saw mine and ordered two for himself. I want to help him set up the light, but I don't remember what I set the Thermal Max to. I know how to set the current temp and Max temp, but I don't remember what would be...

    What is the longest you have carried the same EDC light?

    This may not be exactly what the OP was looking for, but I carried a Surefire 8x for 27 years, 5 days a week. I replaced it with a Jetbeam SR-26F about 2 years ago. For my pocket light, I've been EDC'ing an On The Road M3 for probably around 5 years now. Before that, I carried a Lummi RAW and...

    Battery question for a specific flashlight (Astrolux EC01)

    I'm looking for the "best" 21700 battery for the Astrolux EC01. I ordered it last evening, and I won't have it for likely a month or so. So, I don't have the owner's manual that would most likely discuss such things. I'm looking to order the proper battery. I've a bit of experience with...

    REVIEW: Nitecore TINI Keychain Flashlight

    Battery question. I realize the run times are theoretical... With a fully charged battery, I can use Turbo. Will Turbo work when the battery is at less than 50% (2 blue blinks) or less that 10% (1 blue blink)? Basically, at what battery level does Turbo stop working? I'm just trying to...

    [REVIEW] Nitecore TINI & TIP

    The 30 second timer you mention for both lights is DEMO Mode. There is also a DAILY Mode. If you press and hold both buttons from either off or on (wait for a flash or two) you will alternate between Demo and Daily modes. One flash is Demo Mode, two flashes is Daily Mode. In Daily Mode, the...

    Review: Klarus XT11S: micro-USB tactical light, XP-L HI V3, 1100 lumens; (beams)hots

    Resurrecting an old thread...sorry! I've pretty much chosen to get this light for my own particular needs. It seems to have more of what I want, especially with Turbo run-time, compared to the GT models. With that said, my questions are: What is the approximate run-time in Turbo before the...

    2 year warranty may be useless

    I did try contacting Jetbeam through their online support through their website, but no reply. Then I tried emailing them through the customer service email address. I received no reply from Jetbeam at all. Their customer service appears to be non-existent!!! ToM did refund the money I paid...

    2 year warranty may be useless

    Be advised, I'm writing this in frustration!!!!! Last week I received (2) new in box Jetbeam MS-R26 lights I purchased a month earlier through Touch of Modern (ToM). My first Jetbeam purchase, and my first 18650 light. I got an extremely good deal, $16.00 each, (2 for $40 including shipping)...

    On the road M3

    I'm relatively new to lithium ion batteries, and their use in non-continuously running devices. What I'm curious about is the 30 minute listing for high mode. If I turn the light on for 30 seconds and turn it off, I get 920 lumens the first time, if the battery is full.. If I keep turning it...
