    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    That Q8 is an absolute beast. It's like the Nitecore Tiny Monster, just... probably a bit better and less expensive. I would love to buy it, but it's just way over my price range and weighs a bit over 1lb with all four batteries, which is like carrying around a rubber mallet with you for 2+...

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    How do you guys feel about this S2+ here: https://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_277700.html?wid=21 I like the color a bit better than the black version, which is surprising to hear from me (black is my favorite color). Plus it has a metal tail switch, which I'm guessing lasts a lot longer...

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    Now that I put some thought into it, you are correct. I never took into account that the light would be moving, not to mention if I accidentally point it at someone's face. Now I feel a bit dumb for not thinking about those things first :ohgeez:

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    I heard that mentioned about a few lights on a few forums, but I guess I just didn't pay enough attention to really take notice. Yes, it could have hit a soft spot, but the noise it made when it hit the ground didn't sound soft. Watching it back again, it could possibly be fake since there are...

    Is FastTech a trustworthy seller? I am heavily considering the S2+ now and I found that Fasttech had a pretty good deal on the XP-L HI V2 version with the metal tail switch (it is $4 less than Gearbest). The S2+ fits pretty much all my criteria and even has a reversed belt/pocket clip so I can...

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    Thanks! I found a light called the wowtac A1 last night and it matched most my needs, except for no crenulated bezel, but I can live without that. There's a video on YouTube of a guy dropping it off a 50ft bridge, it would be pretty much perfect for my needs in terms of durability. The best...

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    Just tried that, didn't seem to work. It only starts to happen when I log in, but when I'm logged out and I go the the site, it works perfectly. Also, it says, "Attackers on www.cpfmarketplace.com may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal...

    True, but I will still be less noticeable than if I had a 1000 or more lumen light. I do urban exploration, which is basically just exploring abandoned places. Even though I do it with the property owner's consent, I just don't want the general public to notice me.

    Help an Ultra-Newbie Choose a Light

    Hey, everyone! I'm new around here and I need help choosing a light. But before I get too far into this thread, just know this: I signed up on a "different forum" and asked what is essentially the same question as this, but I can't log in now (I'm guessing it's a glitch). Just a quick FYI for...
