If so, here are some options from b&m stores that might interest you: 1.) Defiant 3D- I believe the latest version puts out...

    Defiant flashlights from Home Depot

    The metal disc the led is mounted on starts to unscrew after some use. This causes intermittent contact/flickering. This has happened to two of my 3c 550 lm Defiants. You just need to unscrew the head and tighten the disc ... maybe use some loctite to keep the disc from moving.

    Defiant flashlights from Home Depot

    The sku# for the 5c is 736 392. For those wanting to change out the LED, the head on the 5c does NOT come off; appears to be glued on. The new 3c model in my store has lowered its lumen rating to 200 from 550. The head is larger and it comes with a removable rubber anti roll head cover. It...

    Romisen RC-N3 tailcap not working properly

    Have you checked the switch to make sure it is not loose inside of the tailcap? If it is, you can screw it in further with a needle nose pliers on the two holes in the switch pill. You can also check the LED module in the head, which sometimes also is able to be screwed in and out. The spring...

    Pelican 1910 vs Streamlight Microstream?

    Re: Pelican 190 vs Streamlight Microstream? I have the old/original model SL Microstream, and just received the Pelican 1910 last week, along with a 1920 and a Fenix E11 (Wheeee! :)) The Micro has a cleaner hotspot, with a faint spill. The Pelican hotspot, like Robin says, is somewhat blobby...

    Tofu - does it make sense?

    Having eaten and enjoyed tofu all of my life, I have never thought of it as a meat substitute, but as its own product. I eat it as a side dish. I have tried various products with tofu/soy as a base claiming to be like meat, and have never confused them. My favorite preparations are just out of...

    If you are referrring to the Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 4W (3C) LED, then I have one. They are okay lights, but they are about 3 years old, and somewhat outdated. They have recently (this year) "updated" their lumens count for the model (used to be rated at 150 lumens; now claiming 180), but they...

    Talk me out of the Walmart special

    I had the Coleman light the OP was referring to when they first came out at Walmart. The blue LED started flickering after the first day of use, and steadily got worse until it crapped out on the third day. The red LED and white Cree still worked, but I returned it to Walmart and got the model...
