    is zebralight sc5w ii the best aa light?

    I have an Estwing claw hammer and Estwing camp hatchet that have been faithful tools for decades. There are certainly plenty of other tools that may be better or have more features or whatever, but the Estwings were what I used and didn't fail me. My Zebralights feel about the same. I've...

    Why you no longer own an HDS

    I still own one but I don't EDC it. Back in the day I was fine with letting it bounce around in the bottom of my pocket like an over-filled roll of quarters, I'd never had a light that clipped to my pocket perfectly so clips didn't matter. Then I discovered the perfect fit (for me) of the...

    Sold/Expired WTB - Novatac clip(s)

    Re: WTB - Novatac clip(s) or non-working lights Flashlight nut, clarified post to CR123 size lights, thank you though! The classic is great but for a driver mod I'm gonna want the CR123 so I can use up my 16340s which have been neglected since my 18650 craze kicked in. emarkd, hoping to just...

    Sold/Expired WTB - Novatac clip(s)

    Got a Novatac 2xAA Classic off ebay, dropped an XP-L HI in it and am digging the size and output. It didn't come with a clip and this is not a light to ride down in the pocket. Also rolls away on any surface not perfectly level. Anyone got any old Novatac clips lying around unused? Thanks, Robert

    ahh the good ole days....

    Me too! Lots of issues with pushbutton lights turning on in your pocket. There's a world of interface simplicity or complexity that could be built in to a sliding switch. How about a clicking sliding switch? And hahoo, I chuckle when I see newer flashoholics complaining about max output, "poor"...

    Do you actually use your copper or brass lights ?

    Infrnl just happens to be there at that posting milestone? Hmmm, 1. relating to or characteristic of hell or the underworld. Oh yeah, thanks for posting emarkd, beautiful collection! Bubbaskyjackers issue: buy cheap lights for work and nice lights for personal EDC. I'm in a similar...

    Gearbest order processing

    (just insert some variation of what everyone else has said here) If your patience matches your frugality it's worth the wait. I'm so pathetic I'll add the month wait time to save $5. My $17.95 Nitecore TIPs finally rolled in this week, ordered them some time in December. That's OK. I've got...

    Manker LAD, a new 219c option, alternative to the Tip?

    My LAD would draw .03A when indicator showed charging complete. My TIP draws .01A when done. I got rid of my LAD or I would check the battery leads to see if any of that current was going into the battery. I hope and doubt it's trickle charging, the response from Manker makes me think it's...

    Skilhunt H03 Review

    Many thanks to Hazard and everyone else who reviewed or commented on this light. I've had to make some changes in my spending habits and really couldn't afford to drop $90 on a Zebralight, this one was on sale at GearBest for $31.99 which was easily within my current budget. I hadn't switched to...

    Manker LAD, a new 219c option, alternative to the Tip?

    TIP, LAD, and Tube, spinning around on a ball chain. It seems like you really want some evidence of PWM Jon, I've been unable to find it. Maybe they bumped the frequency way up with V2? They were all spinning fast, the Tube shot really shows off the effect! I'd bet that an incan...

    Manker LAD, a new 219c option, alternative to the Tip?

    Here's the LAD and TIP being swung as fast as I can. Finally figured out to just hold down the shutter and take 100 pics, then choose from the ones that capture the beams. Anyway, I don't see any PWM in either of them. Either too high frequency or just not there. If I can't see it then it's...

    Manker LAD, a new 219c option, alternative to the Tip?

    Yes it does! From LOW press and hold, it'll go out, keep holding until the light flashes once. Then it's in lockout. Press and hold until it turns on to get out of lockout.

    Manker LAD, a new 219c option, alternative to the Tip?

    Here's my current lineup of "cheap, little lights". I used to be crazy about flashlights when I first started here, I've pretty much kept away for a few years as I am pretty happy with what I've got and things have moved in a different direction than I'd hoped. For example, I was happiest...
