    Sofirn C01 for 2020

    Dang, the tubes cost more than the light did.

    Sofirn C01 for 2020

    Forgive what I’m sure is a complete noob question but where do people buy the tritium tubes and magnets that fit this tailcap?

    Ozark Trail LED Camp Light!

    I'm getting ready to spend the next week in a tent so I picked up one of these lights today. Let's see if I can make it thru the week without needing new batteries.

    Pocket light that won’t turn on in my pocket?

    I picked up a Maglite Solitaire and so far I think it's just the ticket. Thanks!

    Pocket light that won’t turn on in my pocket?

    I don't know what it is other than it's a AAA light I bought on Amazon. I supposed I could go back through my orders and find out. It's a known brand like a Fenix or similar. To be fair I don't know if it would ever turn on or not. I just assumed it would and taped it up. It sounds like I might...

    Pocket light that won’t turn on in my pocket?

    I would like a small pocketable light, probably 1AAA or 1 AA that has some sort of secure switch that won’t turn itself on and drain the battery when it bumps around with keys and coins. My current solution is a twist head light with a strip of duct tape wrapped around it, but that is severely...

    Small pocketable light that won't turn on unintentionally.

    I would like a small light that would be relatively unobtrusive in a pocket with keys, coins, etc and that has a switch that is unlikely to come on until I intentionally want it to. My priorities are the switch, and a relatively small size. It doesn't have to be super bright or have multiple...

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    I'm leaving town on Wednesday and I don't want the box to sit on the porch for several days, so I'm not going to order anything until January. So far I have been pleasantly impressed with the Home Depot light. I'm definitely going to order some 18650s so I don't have to buy C batteries. I don't...

    Maglites becoming a bunch of junk in my opinion -short review of the 2AA Mini Mag LED

    There's a 2AA LED Maglite sitting atop the gun safe in my garage. It has one job: let me look into the rear of the safe in the dark to find one particular pocket knife or magazine. When you twist the head it briefly flashes for just a fraction of a second but otherwise remains dark. I have...

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    I have four flashlights, three sets of batteries and two chargers in my Amazon cart at the moment. I can see this is going to get out of hand :)

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    It so happens I drove by a Home Depot this afternoon, so I picked up one of the Defiant 3C 850 lumen lights recommended by Poppy. I followed the linked thread and saw you had adapted it to use an 18650 rechargeable. Just one, right? That spacer looked pretty long. How well does that work? I...

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    Very helpful. Thanks! Somewhere I have a 20 year old 3 D cell incandescent MagLite...somewhere.

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    I'm not dead set on alkaline. My thinking when checking that box was that I definitely want to have the option of replaceable (not built-in) batteries so I can swap them out and not be tied to a wall somewhere while it recharges. Before I joined this forum I had never heard of an 18650 battery...

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    Thanks. I have a lot to learn. How about the charger than comes bundled with the Eneloop cells from Panasonic? Is it a good charger?

    Light for finding stuff in the woods?

    Hi all, First post, so please excuse the inevitable noob stupidity. I'm looking for recommendations for a light for looking for (primarily) downed game in the woods. My dinky LED light with a failing battery was one of the reasons I walked within a few feet of a downed deer this year without...
