    LRI Photon Freedom

    I have a covert red Freedom on a lanyard that I used for several years when I was outdoors with my telescope. It was around my neck and extremely handy to use when I didn't want to lose my night vision. Tiny, useful and adjustable from barely there to quite bright. It was the best portable...

    Your Oldest LED Flashlight?

    [/URL] One of my first LED flashlights that still functions and was still in use till a few months ago is a Dorcy 4-led 2AA. I bought in 2005-6 when led lights just started becoming available. It probable pushes out all of 6-8 lumens but has been handy for its size and the fact that it always...

    LaCrosse BC-700 ?

    I have been using a BC-900 as my primary charger for about 10 years now with no problems at all. When it came out there was talk about how it would melt batteries etc. but I have experienced none of that. Purely anecdotal, but I believe that there are many more good La Crosses out there than...

    Are your old Eneloops still going strong? - a survey.

    I have 20 or so AA Eneloops that I have been using for a while, so I thought it was time to consider if I should replace them. A closer look revealed that they were all 1st Gen with dates around 06-0715 and 08-0600. So this means that these batteries are 9 to 11 years old and have been in...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    A Utorch UT01 because it sounds very handy with 4 levels including moonlight and has a good build according to reviews. It is NW which I am interested to see and is very inexpensive at $17. Seems like a good deal and I need a light for the car. Should be arriving any day now from China.

    Group buy for the Utorch UT01 (XPL) & Utorch UT02 (XHP-35 HI )

    I am interested in the UT01 if the GB is still open. Please forward info. Thanks

    Is My Fenix P3D Obsolete?

    Flashlights do become obsolete eventually but when that happens is subjective I believe. I have a P2D as my handy dandy go to light and I use it 5 or 6 times a week generally for short periods. I have had it for about 8 years, along with others of course, and still think it is great. It is...

    Cleaning the lens

    Soft cotton pad or Q tip damp with alcohol gently rubbed in a circular motion will remove fingerprints and oil from glass. It is probably best to blow off any dust first to avoid scratches. If not done too often it should not affect any coating on the glass. Alcohol evaporates completely and...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    My balcony overlooks a creek and smelt a skunk lurking about so I got my Fenix LD20 on turbo but couldn't spot him in the brush. Time to get some serious lumens I guess. There is a reason to have 1000 or so on tap when required.

    What lights are you gifting this Christmas?

    I find that keychain lights are almost always appreciated even by non flashaholics. I have given Fenix EO1's because they are rock solid and just work.A quality product at a fair price. Just not worth giving $4-5 cheap junk.

    *NEW* Fenix UC30 Rechargeable Flashlight

    I just ordered a UC30 because it seems to have a lot of desirable features and I trust the Fenix name. I have 3 older models that are functioning as promised for the last 8 years but are beginning to show their technologic age. Reading the manual I am confused by the charging instructions. It...

    Bargain Eneloops - 8 for $8.93

    Received my refurbished Eneloops and they all read as 1.28V. Came in a messy cracked package but the batteries seem fine. Also noticed that Amazon is now selling them for $7.87 plus $4.99 for shipping. I can't imagine why the price is dropping but if the trend continues there will be some...

    Bargain Eneloops - 8 for $8.93

    Was checking out Amazon for Eneloops and found a site that sells 8 eneloops for $8.93 plus $4.99 for shipping. That comes to $1.74 each. Darn good price. The catch.... they are "refurbished" which means that it is an open box unit with minor damage to outer box. Still sounds ok to me at...

    Looking for EDC flashlight.

    I would consider another Fenix that I have not seen mentioned in this thread. The LOP-SE is an older generation of Fenix that is available at a reduced price at Fenix-Store. I believe it will satisfy your demands for size, runtime and toughness as well as having the luxury of 3 levels. I have...
