    Sunwayman Tomahawk C20C Stolen

    @PattPickle: Thanks. I like the fact that Peak LED lights are made in USA. Also, it looks like they are all AAA lights - correct?

    Sunwayman Tomahawk C20C Stolen

    @3_gun: Thanks for the reply. To narrow it down a bit, I'd prefer a throw light rather than a flood, relatively high CRI, warm, tail or side switch, non rechargeable via USB, small. I'm not really sure if I want a smart light or not. I know the Zebralight is programmable, but I'm not sure I...

    Lawn mower blade sharpening

    I don't advise using a grinder unless your blade is badly chipped. Unless you're very careful, a grinder will heat up the edge of the blade to the point where the temper is lost. At that point, the steel on the edge of the blade will be much softer and it will not remain sharp for long. Get...

    Sunwayman Tomahawk C20C Stolen

    I believe the AC guy's assistant stole my Sunwayman Tomahawk. I left it in the HVAC room in the house and when they left, it was gone. I quite liked it, but the switch was always a bit temperamental. I would like to replace it with a Fraz Labs Lumenite, but they are rarely in stock. Maybe a...

    Worst Light You've Ever Owned

    I purchased one of the early LED lights (also from the orange home center) - I believe it was a Coast or Coastal brand that had the plastic insert for 3 AA batteries. Dismal performance, and had a throw you could easily outrun and a flood you could barely see. My 3 D-cell MagLight with Xenon...

    Worst Light You've Ever Owned

    Just that. I've had a few over the years, but I don't recall the brands. What are the absolute worst lights you ever had the displeasure to own? I see there's see there's several threads on the subject, so let's limit this to the worst LED light you've ever owned.

    14500 / 16340 / 18650 / 21700 / 26650 which format & why

    The 21700 is likely the future. My last light was a TX Lumens, which I ordered before the 21700 became popular. I had them build the light for a 20700 cell, which are now difficult to easily find. Capacity seems to be fairly enormous, though - I don't use it every day, but may have charged it...

    Many lights or just the best?

    I prefer to own a few high-quality lights rather than a bunch of cheap crap or even multiple lower cost lights that just perform ok. But I do own lights going back to the early 80's - MAG lights, which were considered the best at the time. I also have a few antiques. My current favorite is a...

    darkest place you have ever been?

    I'd have to say that the darkest place I've ever been was when my young daughter was incorrectly diagnosed with a very rare disease. The brightest light on the planet would not have helped.
