    Excellent catch and much appreciated. As many of these reviews as I've done over the years, I still have things slip through. Sorry about that and thanks again; I've now edited the first post.

    REVIEW: Nitecore TINI Keychain Flashlight

    I've been off the forum for several months myself; you never know when life is going to get in the way of forum time... Anyway, the TINI I have has gone months between uses without permanently dying. It is electronically-switched so some parasitic drain should be expected, but it certainly...

    REVIEW: Nitecore LA30 Dual-fuel, HCRI Pocket Lantern

    That is accurate. In reality, odds are the AA cells have bounced back a bit and will light the LA30 on low for a bit before powering off again. But if you consider the AA runtime test I did, the LA30 powered down rather than switching to the internal cell once the AAs were "low". Had it...

    REVIEW: Nitecore LA30 Dual-fuel, HCRI Pocket Lantern

    It uses the AA batteries if installed. in the AA High runtime test above, the internal battery was fully charged. It will run the AA cells down all the way; it will switch to the internal battery once the AA cells are removed. I'll revise the review tonight to clarify that better. Edit: found...

    REVIEW: Nitecore MT22C Flashlight

    It was an Imalent DT21. Honestly, the Nitecore's quality and build seems much better, but the DT21 dial orientation is more comfortable for me.
