    Small EDC flashlights vs medium size flashlights??

    I have a stainless steel Ultratac K18 NW on my keychain. I rarely *need* anything else for EDC. It gets crazy bright with a 3.7V 10440 aaa size cell, advertised at 360lm but I think more. It's obviously not good for longer use, but it gets the job done for most EDC cases. UI is a little weird...

    Thank you both, great to know. Going to set this up now.

    Is there a way to set the UI in the SC64 to just be a normal quick-press to lo-med-high instead of one short click while off going straight to High mode? I can't count the number of times I've turned it on full blast at night while trying to long-press for the low mode. It's really annoying...

    Can anyone recommend a diffuser cap for the SC64's? The ones I have don't fit well.

    Does anyone know how to to remove the clip from the SC64's? Some kind of tiny star screw it looks like, I wonder if a standard laptop/pc tool set would have the correct one?

    Oh right thanks. They said 1-3 weeks lead time.

    Any recent estimates on when SC64w and SC64c are in stock?

    Top 5 AAA keychain flashlights of 2017.

    I like my Stainless Steel Ultratac K18 with 10440. Not perfect, but better than a non 10440 or a twisty. Love the side click, but there could be some improvements to the UI, ie turn off strobe and easier lockout/unlock, and a 5000K option.

    I realize they don't know how many orders they will get. From a coding standpoint, that doesn't matter though. It's just a variable with a value you can increment. They could write a simple script and reuse it for each new light, that would for each order output on the checkout page an...

    Thanks. I'm not hating on them. I can wait. But for a bunch of engineers, a script outputting an estimated ship date is trivial. Any decent undergrad CS or engineering student could bang it out in 20 minutes. And I'm sure there is freely available open source code they could adapt if this...

    How long do preorders usually take to ship? Waiting in US for a SC64c on 11/23 (order #103766XX), and a SC600w IV Plus on 11/27 (order #103768XX), under the impression that "preorders start shipping Nov 30th," like their site says. I figured a few days tops. Do they practice just-in-time...

    Would you be unhappy with this small irregularity in big reflector? Should I RMA?

    I want to resell this, but I remembered it has a tiny pin-sized hole a cm or so from the emitter. Noticeable though because the rest of the reflector is perfect. Should I RMA for a replacement? I figure it has a negligible effect on anything given the huge reflector. I wasn't super happy to...

    That'd be fun to see. The only flat tops I have are 30Q's. My 64c I plan to use mostly indoors, so I may get some GA's. Or attempt to remove the button tops on my unprotected button top MJ1's, but I'd rather not mess with that just to save a few bucks.
