I remember having folks at work eyeball my Fisher space pens - and for a while; that would be the Christmas gift of choice that I would provide my co-workers.
I think I bought 1 Fisher Mars pen on sale...not cheap - FPMARSB4.
The bullet style pen was what I liked when I needed to keep a pen in...
Just used to help verify some hardware linear bearings were setup correctly on the rails and well greased.
A small but bright flashlight works wonders getting into tight spots.
I have a few Fenix lights, and they do the job that they were intended to fill.
I did have one sleeper flashlight from Olight - that was solid copper. Other than the cost, they nailed the form factor dead bang on. It was over powered for normal max power use, but it was perfect for small...
I just picked up my 3rd Zebra light light along with 6 of their cells yesterday. The new hardware was one of their AA lights that I failed to see that they offered, along with batteries for the larger versions.
And the final entry into my quest was the Zebralight - picked up two supporting the 18650
SC600Fd IV Plus SC600Fd Mk IV Plus 18650 XHP50 Floody 5000K High CRI Flashlight and
SC64c LE SC64c LE 18650 4000K High CRI Flashlight Limited Edition
The only minor issue is that the low...
Well; I did some cleaning up around the house and found my old Fenix e12 that would seem to fit the bill; not sure about the later versions of said hardware. It has been beat up a bit, but still works wonders. Based on the config I think it was an earlier V2 version right went it came out...
I will say - using some of my older devices that fit the power I was looking for - I would be happy with 50, 100, 150 range.
When my budget says ok; I will pull the trigger on the Convoy T3...
Power values seem to be good - love the limited number of modes that produce what I like.
Convoy hmm is best I will say - but that mode will win me over for sure.
You are not wrong on the max power rating from oh lets say 80 - 140(ish) would work fine; I picked a solid number of 100 which I have used and enjoyed. Pretty much anything lower than 20 for me would be too low to be considered a prime time mode.
Hmm; very good idea about mixing parts from the...
Some of the locations I walk at night is on some trails behind a bunch of homes. I have no need to go as bright as possible. After my fun with Convoy style lights I got fed up with dozen of clicky - click swapping between modes.
For one, AA light really don't have the power storage to run...
Updated status: It is clear I won't find want I want - but I might find something that will still work....
Ordered a few lights to test drive or tried to (out of stock)
Pelican 1920B for AAA size batteries
pelican 2350 for AA size batteries
Preon P2 MKIII (out of stock) - this looks to be the...
True on the run time versus oh my gosh it can burn the eyes out of a zombie at 50 meters.
My favorite over powered light is made by Olight - and it was one of those limited run, solid copper lights.
I look at the E01 V2 as a trash flashlight that I will buy & use - it does what I need and it...
Hmm, interesting
The Gen 1 would be more in tune with what I want on the power output. Shorter run time than I expected/wanted. The Gen 2 has a bit brighter than I want - but the overall runtime increased.
It's not quite what I want - tho I did toss that one in the in-basket at...
Thanks - nice way of saying I need more caffeine - and I do
looking for something in a
power source - AA ( and support for an eneloop), or maybe in
CR123(support for the rechargeable versions), or maybe in
16850 - 18650 protected cell.
just being flexible in the power source for the...
