    What is the Rolex of Flashlights?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I as well as vicv was referring to the spy tri-v which if I remember correctly released at 3500$. But now sells for 10,000$. Could be inflation or the cost of materials/labor.

    What is the Rolex of Flashlights?

    I’ve found if they can afford an expensive watch and are truely wealthy they would mostly likely wear it. Both because they can afford to replace it as well as for the prestige among their friends and neighbors. The second being a priority since they can afford most things they want. Then again...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    People who earn above the median income use dept as leverage to minimize taxes while also being used to invest in assets. There’s good ways to use dept if you’re smart and disciplined. A lot of creditors do have bad practices. But in the end company’s survive through profits and not through...

    Why do LED lights still suck and why do I still use incans or HIDs, your opinions or disagreements please.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself! Corporations are brilliant at making money. At one point in time Dole were using pineapple cores slicing them and flavoring them with mango juice and selling them as dried mango. Turning a profit on seemingly throwaway items is ingenious.

    Is PK now working for Jetbeam?

    That is an interesting idea. I hope PK is still involved in flashlights in some capacity. I really love the four flats design and haven’t seen any mainstream lights making use of the design. I saw these on batteryjunction but they seem to have only one output level and can only function on...

    +1 I’m all for using whatever you feel comfortable with. I’m a 100% for leds. Longer runtimes, shock resistant, and longer life expectancy. But i still love playing with my A2’s once and again. I also still have a literal crate of Lumens Factory replacement bulbs. I bought every one i could find...

    Does anyone like Surefire anymore?

    I’m not too fond of the new designs as well. I loved having PK work at surefire as well as stopping by the forums. I still collect vital gear lights and accessories when they pop up. The pk collab 4sevens lights are still some of my favorites. I also have a powertac PK warriors sitting on a...

    humans are stupid

    Not to mention their generation memorized a lot of phone numbers. My grandparents knew all of our relatives and their friends phone numbers by heart. Plus any calculations were done in their head.

    HDS Systems

    HDS’s have programmable modes and fully potted electronics along with a non magnetic control ring (rotary). Got into HDS’s after owning a few novatac’s. Got into novatac’s because of jetbeam lights with IBS. I love the jetbeam RRT01’s and daily them. The RRT01’s have a super low low and can take...
