    Favorite Twilight Zone Episode

    "Little Girl Lost", "The Odyssey of Flight 33", and "Mr. Denton on Doomsday" were some of my many favorites growing up. As a kid in elementary school I couldn't wait til Friday nights for new episodes and Rod's great lead in's.

    Discontinued flashlight that you love

    I might have missed it...reading the last 2/3 years of this thread's posts, but am more than a little surprised no one has mentioned ZL's SC52w/L2w. 1 X AA/14500 lights are my favorite format, and when my several year old SC52w finally crapped out from being dropped too many times, I have...

    LiFePO4 16340's

    The only ones I could find when I needed a couple recently were Tenergy LiFePO4's. *PM me, if you need a link. EDIT: SORRY...I was wrong, they're now disco'd! Just bought a couple severl weeks ago but now they seem to be history @ most places?!

    Single 14500/AA flashlight with throw. Anything new out there in 2019

    So I don't lead you "down the garden path". This is a hobbyist light to be clear. Search & rescue...yeah, not so much, unless the rescue is less than 2 or 3 min. This is a 14500 (only) little flame thrower that will get hot fast on highest mode and run time is not great. Works better as a...

    Single 14500/AA flashlight with throw. Anything new out there in 2019

    Just got one myself...an Astrolux BLF X5 XPL-HI. Potent little thrower @ 1400 lumens, user configurable UI...and w/a little searching for codes, under $18.

    AAA thrower

    Looks like you're set, however if you still want more throw, I just picked up an UltraTac A7 (Called AidierA7 on Amazon) on a whim for $7 w/a BLF coupon I found, and the throw is pretty impressive since it utilizes a TIR optic. Beam kinda looks like an aspheric zoomed out to 80/90%. Comes on...

    Night vision (not the goggles)

    As an old cyclist, who routinely rides at dusk into night, I have been using cycling specific glasses that are polarized with lighter tinted amber lenses for years, decades actually. It won't make your night vision clarity that of a 20 yr. old again, but these features do work remarkably well...

    Does ANYONE make a protected 18350??

    I generally just use a 16340 protected cell to prevent overdischarge in the few, little used 1 X 18350 lights I own. Sure, it's a little narrow but works fine.

    What's the latest in magnetic variable ring type flashlights?

    Thought I'd bump this thread to let those of you who do like the Sunwayman V11R know that Battery Junction seems to be closing these out right now at the lowest price I've ever personally seen at just under $30. And...they have several of the neutral tint versions as well as the cool! Just a...

    Where is the market for diffusers?

    I'm in the US and have been buying these types of various size latex stretch diffusers for years from popular China based sites, Alibaba, Gear Best, etc. They're actually fairly easy to find.

    AAA with magnets ?

    No trits, but the Manker E02 is a 1 X AAA, 90degree light w/electronic switch, tail magnet, that starts in moonlight-medium-high, then back to medium- and low (nice UI). Also avail with the newest Nichia 219c = great tint. Around $20 most places. It was just recently released in titainum for...

    Manker E02 like dislike or indifferent?

    To the OP, it does kinda sound like your "drop out of high in a few sec's" problem is battery related...have you tried other batt's? If not I'd bet you've got a driver issue. I mention circuit problem since I've had two of these because the first one was DOA, and three Manker E11's, and two of...

    EDC Flashlight Recommendation?

    You might want to look at the Convoy S2, a popular budget 18650 light that checks most of your boxes in the $20/30 range depending on config...or maybe the Olight S2 baton at the top of your budget if you want something w/more high end features.
