I have an idea for you to check out, the acebeam W30 lep. Only 500 lumens but very intense beam. It has a secondary light that turns from green to red as the battery gets low, and it is compact.
Yes, New York is not the friendliest state out there for self defense. Unfortunately most of the...
I have an Acebeam W30, nice light but compared to my Deft-x a little too blue. Looking forward to what improvements you can get from the current offerings.
There is a trick to getting an air compressor started with a small generator that a farmer showed me. You have to open the bleeder valve to the tank first to ensure the compressor has no resistance, once the compressor is spinning at speed close the bleeder valve. It is not perfect but it will...
That is one of the best ideas that would drive more people to Mag light. Something bullet proof with easy to source batteries that fits in the pocket unobtrusively. If they could get a decent tiny on it and do all of the usual colors it might be a hit.
I have learned that nature can give many surprises. 3 black bears, 1 bobcat and a golden eagle all seen from my back porch. Open eyes can see a lot.

Let us not forget in central New York we have been seeing coyote wolf hybrids are starting to appear. I saw my first one 3 years ago and they are as big as a German shepherd. I would not want to run into one without some form of protection.
No downside that I could find other than needing a lot of open room to get maximum distance. I live in the middle of the woods and my W30 can hit the clouds with very little problems. It doesn't get hot on long runs and is not much bigger than an Eagtac M25C2 and slightly lighter. It only puts...
As someone who has a Deft-x and an Acebeam W30 I can tell you that lep is the way to go. Absolutely no spill on a beam that can go over a mile. I am waiting for cold weather to get rid of the atmospheric moisture so I can get a better idea on how far it will throw. I still enjoy my Deft-x from...
I was out yesterday shopping and noticed no paper towels nor Puffs tissues. Plenty of meat on hand. Myself I picked up flour and sugar, I have plenty of yeast so all good on baking aspects. Plenty of TP in the stores right now, hopefully no shortages this time around.
I had a 300 pound black bear walk into the beam of a TN42vn pushing around 2500 lumens. It got within maybe 30 feet before it decided it wasn't worth the trouble. About 2 months before that I 400 to 450 pound black bear just stare back at the same light. Wild animals can be unpredictable at best.
In foggy situations the narrower the beam the less the back scatter. Avoid the lumen chase, focus will help more than lumens. A neutral to warm tint helps as well. In central New York it is foggy most of the summer so I have tried many things to cut through dense fog. My best lights for this...
Things are still holding up well in central New York, the only thing that was getting scarce was Alavert. I hit 5 drug stores in Oneonta and only one had any. Must be in high demand right now. Everything else seemed normal other than no spinach, that hurts a little but I can get by.
Always find the silver lining, my better half confiscated my my green mag clone that is an incandescent light. I bought it for myself but that is the breaks. I need to get me some of the newer varieties, all I have are incandescent and early led varieties from Lowes black Friday sales from years...
Harro, good idea. Sanitize from the inside out with a single malt. If it wasn't morning it would be an excellent idea. I always find it enjoyable to pour one and enjoy the wildlife that nature supplies.
