    Weapon mounted LEP light I can't remember the name

    https://www.olightworld.com/product/odin_turbo There's also this one, which I'm going to pull the trigger on next paycheck!

    Fenix E01

    I gave my mother one of these forever ago for Mother's Day, but she lost it. On a completely unrelated note, I need a really dim long-running light. Any idea where I can get another Nichia GS thing? Edit: I've kept her in the good stuff since then, and it's not like I miss her flashlight...

    NOCO ChargeLight : first impressions

    2022, so ... seven years on. Still like this thing, and found a niche for it. Pogo charging doesn't work any more. Anybody know if they still make these? A source for new-old-stock replacements?

    Zippo pocket light

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074S8YS53/?tag=cpf0b6-20 Dunno if they're any good, about to buy myself one. Expecting a "fauxton" light, more or less. Sidekick is good, but the plastic keychain loop is weak; mine broke after a few months of keychain carry and the Surefire warranty on these things...

    Zippo ZipLight

    Necromancy time. I just bought my ziplight, used some white vinegar to etch off the battery schmutz where it ate the copper (need another go at that, and then use the ultrasonic cleaner; it's tarnishing again) and bought some Amazon Basics AAAA batteries. What do you know, they're too long. I...

    CB's anyone?

    FRS and GMRS operates between 462 and 467 MHz. There's another allocation between 151 and 155 MHz with five specified channels, (at least) five channels down at 49 MHz, and 902-928 MHz that are commonly used for two-way radios of one sort or another. Also, there's something of a resurgence...

    Muliti-Channel, long range, walkie-talkie 2-way radio suggestions wanted

    Probably not, but some countries bowed to the onslaught of imported US radios. Still, you'll have more people to talk to with the local standard.

    Using AA batteries to charge a phone in an emergency

    Radio Shack once upon a time made one, and I treasure that thing like the magic artifact of a lost empire that it is.

    how many lights do you usually carry?

    Typically two, maybe three. There's a BetaQR v1 on my keys along with a tiny knife. Then there's a holster-class light on my left hip. Lately, that's a Z2 with a beastly single-mode XML dropin. Sometimes if I have the pocket space, there's an interim light with a little more dynamic range...

    18v Ryobi/Hitachi/Etc bulb upgrade?

    It's something like four generations behind the state of the art, of which I gleefully enjoy one as a four-day power-failure light. But these boys had a big head that unscrews easily for a reflector-and-emitter swap, so… The trigger is a forward-clicky mechanism, and the head can pivot by 90°...

    The Forlorn and the Sublime

    Once upon a time, when I was a wee little dragon and just getting into Surefire lego, my dream machine was a hypothetical "E2Z" and the greatest thing is that you all know what that is. An E head, a skinny body tube with one ring, and a Z52 tailcap. (PS, all y'all Z52 fans better be buying...
