    Recommendations please for flashlights that can use 1.5 volt aaa lithium rechargeables.

    If you want something fairly cheap with decent light then consider something like the Olight i3e, I have one in brass that lives in my iPad bag. I bought for the same reason you mention, tons of AAA batteries around the house...

    A good well rounded edc light that won't break the bank

    I ended up throwing a 6 month old Thrunite away that was doing similar (lots of flashes and then off), their customer service can’t even be called awful, as it’s non-existent. I’d never buy another Thrunite...

    I should have said *virtually* no chance, Amazon tend to deal direct with the manufacturer for items like this, so unless Panasonic send them fakes it's unlikely. Thats an annoying feature of Amazon, when I linked they were Amazon stock, checking the link now and they are Amazon stock again...

    RELIABLE on-line sources of QUALITY li-ion cells?

    I find buying from Amazon is 99.9% safe, buying on Amazon, odds aren't as good...

    Looking for an EDC flashlight; general illumination, outdoors and indoors

    Sounds like you need 2 lights, something like an Olight s15 for pocket use and 90% of what you want and something else with an 18650 for the 250m throw...

    C8

    I would agree, I got a Thorfire C8s from Amazon and it's worth a lot more than its current price, and most owners seem to think the same after seeing the decent reviews for it. Well made, good finish and a nice beam. It lives by the back door now for the times the dog gets too interested in the...

    Wow, why in the world do you carry a flashlight with you?

    Re: Another "Why do you carry a flashlight?" Moment It can even be dark during daylight, just depends where you are. I just remind people of that fact ;).

    Maglite....why?

    Still got plenty of Mags scattered around, a MiniAA with an LED drop in, a MiniAA LED, a MiniAAA with an LED drop in, a 4C with an LED drop in (my bump in the night light ;)) and probably 3 or 4 4Ds still with conventional bulbs that date back to the '80s or '90s. The thing with Mag-Lites is...

    Astrolux S1 measurements

    Excellent review on a light that is fast becoming one of my favourites. Just ordered my first 18350 batteries to use it with the short tube as well.

    12 volt DC charger/adapter for 18650 flashlight wiith dc charging port

    Unfortunately they forgot to factor in human nature that tends to want to push the plug into the port upside down using as much force as they possibly can until they push the port off the pcb ;).

    When I Really Needed a Light and Didn't Have One; What's Your Story?

    I've carried a light almost forever, even back in the 80s I used to carry a mini Mag, had both AAA and AA, so I've never been caught without :). Light output might have been puny, but it was still light.

    12 volt DC charger/adapter for 18650 flashlight wiith dc charging port

    Im not sure where that statement comes from but in my experience that's far from true. As someone who has been involved in phone repairs running a Repair Service Centre for many years I can only remember a handful of miniUSB failures, compared to hundreds or thousands of microUSB failures...
