    Need help finding a flicker-free LED flashlight that runs on AA

    I own a couple lights from Jaxman now and I've been happy with the quality. This is the one that really stands out. The tint is decent and it might be the best 2xAA thrower on the market. I know what you mean about the low mode. It seems more like a medium would be relative to the high. I think...

    Need help finding a flicker-free LED flashlight that runs on AA

    The Jaxman M2 runs on 2xAA. It uses a good semi-protected button on the tail instead of the maglite's twisty head. It has two modes with simple operation. There is no observable flicker on either mode. Compared to my Spectrum Series warm white 2xAA mini maglite, the Jaxman's low is on par with...

    Maglite....why?

    How did you do that?

    Maglite....why?

    The consensus seems to be that the Solitaire is both the worst of the incandescent line and perhaps the best of the new Spectrum line. It's at least the "most improved" from what I've read. I found the old Solitaire useful as a kids' toy for those too little to remember not to shine it in the...

    Maglite....why?

    I used Maglites exclusively for decades, doing everything from caving to working night security to put myself through college. I loved them. They really were amazing once upon a time. I kept using them well into the LED revolution due to my hatred of cool white light sources. Now that I can get...

    Any Experience with Pelican Correct Color?

    Some of the lights in this series seem to be marketed as safety/emergency lights. Notice that the yellow-bodied ones are safety rated and have much simpler mode setups. Just a guess, but it looks like the yellow models might have been optimized for battery life and random untrained users. For...

    Any Experience with Pelican Correct Color?

    The 3310CC is more up my alley but I decided to try the deluxe 3410CC. It has all the bells and whistles for around $40 and I was feeling skeptical. This is only my initial impressions here but I'm pleasantly surprised. This is an extremely versatile flashlight. I think I understand what ZMZ67...

    Do You Always Have a Flashlight On Your Person?

    I like your pocket organizer. Now I've got questions. How much room does that take up in a pocket? Which pocket do you keep it in? Is it too bulky to keep that and a key ring in the same pocket?

    I will have a review of some of these posted within a week or two.

    Any Experience with Pelican Correct Color?

    ZMZ67 wasn't kidding about the warmth. I contacted Pelican for more information. Here is the relevant portion of the response. They also gave me contact info for someone else on staff who might be better able to answer my questions. I reached out. I'll let you all know when I get more...

    Mini Maglite Spectrum Series Warm White Discussion

    My first good flashlight was an incandescent Maglite. I was active in the caving scene before the LED revolution. I had friends that used them exclusively and I quickly learned why. They were rugged, dependable, and backed by good customer service (on the rare chance that you actually needed...

    Am breathing nichia!

    Is there a difference between the Nichia 219B an 219BT?

    Any Experience with Pelican Correct Color?

    Every once in a while, I go looking for high CRI or warm tint lights. I stumbled upon these and never heard of them. Does anyone have experience with any of these Pelican Correct Color lights? I'd be especially interested to know: 1. Are they good? 2. What is the color temperature? How is the...

    AAA Lights; Post your favorites

    I have the 3200K version of the C01. It is one of my absolute favorite little lights. It is very gentle with a rich, comfortable color. At the same time, it is certainly bright enough to use around the house in dark rooms. It will light up the area right in front of you outdoors. It's perfect as...

    Am breathing nichia!

    I like brass in AAA-size flashlights but weight does restrict where, how, and with what else I can carry them. I often have one in my flannel shirt pocket around the house. Does anyone make super high-end lights in gold, silver, or other fancy alloys? That would be the perfect big-deal present...
