    Auxiliary headlamps

    I installed a light bar on my truck and mounted a set of JW Speaker LED low/high beam aux lights. I built a wiring harness so that they would mimic my factory headlights....factory lights on low, aux lights on low....flick factory lights to high, the aux lights would do the same. I also had a...

    J.W. Speaker Denouncing Low-CCT White Light?

    They will be missed, both were very knowledgeable and helpful to those that would actually listen.

    What’s your all time favorite flashlight?

    One of my favorites is a 4Sevens Quark 123 with a warm white LED. I've had it for quite a while and certainly have plenty of newer and brighter lights...but I still like that warm light, small footprint, and light weight of that Quark.

    Old flashlights found at antique store

    We were traveling for a wedding and biding our time until it started. Nearby were a couple of antique stores, one had the lights. I assume the prices reflected some elbow grease (by somebody) to get them cleaned up so nicely.

    Old flashlights found at antique store

    I thought someone might think these are cool. I don’t have any idea if the price is decent.

    when will rolex knocks be better then the rolex?

    Ironically, you would probably be relatively safe wearing some much more expensive watches because the potential robbers wouldn't recognize the brand names.

    Automatic knives, valid for use?

    Someone once gave me a Benchmade Infidel. It is an OTF auto. I wasn't overly impressed and sold it to a neighbor for like $150. Apparently, that was a very good deal for him....since I had no idea what it cost.

    What do you think the best folding knife

    I found the ROK. I really like it...it looks like the only negative comments I read about it were that the anodized titanium is a bit too slick/slippery. I haven't held one, so I can't personally conform it.

    What do you think the best folding knife

    I really like that Lion steel knife, especially the retractable clip. Fortunately, for my wallet, it is not offered in a locking version.

    Looking for 12 volt LED lighting from a car battery - illumination for a shipping container cabin

    The LED low voltage landscape lights found at home improvement stores are mostly 12 volt, have nice looking housings, and can be found in much nicer color temperatures than offroad truck lights.

    Red light better for night vision - any difference in LED vs. incandescent?

    I used universal window film from an automotive parts store and cut it to size once the bezel was out of the way. I don't believe the dash lamps are replaceable in my vehicle.

    Red light better for night vision - any difference in LED vs. incandescent?

    I very much despise all the light from modern instrument clusters and screens. I can turn off the infotainment screen. I actually removed the plastic bezel from around my instrument cluster screen and put window tint on it...then I reinstalled the bezel. It works great. At night, I can make it...

    Help identifying this work light?

    I also tried to find it. No luck. I did find a fair number of trucks with those lights on them by using a google search for "nyc police heavy truck" and then browsing the images. There are much better pictures, but I didn't find the brand.

    What do you think the best folding knife

    My current favorite knife for our camping is a Zero Tolerance titanium handled 0095 with an S90V blade. My son is in Scouts, so I use it all around for cutting everything from aluminum cans to vegetables or rope. This weekend I used it to cut some rug padding. It has a thick blade with a good...

    What do you think the best folding knife

    This thread is interesting, particularly because it's from 2017. I have knives that I think are best today....but in 1, 2 , or 4 years...there will be another best because awesome stuff just keeps coming out. New steels or cooler designs are yet to come. Then, once you've bought an apex steel...
