    [REVIEW] Zanflare F1 (XP-L V6, 1x18650) (Pictures, Beamshots, etc.)

    Avoid. Their customer support is horrible and will not honor a valid warranty claim. My F1 failed after a little over 1 year of normal use. It's in great physical condition. I contacted Zanflare given they have a 3 year free replacement warranty for the F1 as explicitly stated in their owner's...

    Field Use Review of the Zanflare F3

    I'm updating this review regarding a recent experience with Zanflare's customer service. While my F3 that I reviewed is functioning fine, my Zanflare F1 failed after normal use. I contacted Zanflare given they have a 3 year free replacement warranty for the F1 as explicitly stated in their...

    Field Use Review of the Rofis R2 and R3

    Introduction Late last year, I reviewed the Rofis R1; a 16340-powered rotating head flashlight. Since then, Rofis has expanded their R series line-up and added the R2 and R3 which are 14500 and 18650 powered flashlights, respectively. Rofis has since provided me with an R2 and R3 for testing and...

    Field Use Review of the Rofis MR70

    Thank you both for the feedback. I know there are lots of reviewers here and many are excellent so I'm trying to deliver a different style based on my passion for the outdoors. I'm glad to see it's appreciated.

    (New Release+GAW) Titanium Rechargeable Tactical Penlight Klarus TP20 Ti Release!

    I love the Multi-functional Titanium Rechargeable Tactical Penlight Klarus TP20 Ti. The pen looks very interesting and useful. I was looking for a multi-functional pen for outdoor use. Some product details show that it's a neat tool given the titanium body material for strength yet...

    Introduction Given the number of excellent reviewers with technical data, I’ve decided to take a different approach to reviewing flashlights. As an outdoors enthusiast, I’ve decided to review flashlights while in use outdoors. The review is the culmination of multiple night hikes, a camping...

    2nd light: another Fenix PD35? or Streamlight Protac, Nitecore SRT7GT

    The best light for you is something that matches your uses with its features at a reasonable price. On a place like this, you will have many people tell you to get this or that to have the "absolute best". Well, that best may not be the best for you, especially given the price. It's foolish to...

    Jetbeam E40R EDC Flahslight Review

    Are you certain it's not in lock-out mode given what you wrote in the UI section? Your description is just like my Jetbeam E10R when in electronic lock-out mode. I can't see this flashlight as being practical if it indeed always requires a press-hold action to turn on in normal mode. While I...

    Field Use Review of the Zanflare F3

    Which models? All of mine are larger (especially if they have a bigger reflector for better throw) or around the same size as the Zanflare F1. I own a Nitecore SRT7, Klarus XT12GT, Fenix TK15S2, and FiTorch P20R as my 18650-powered lights. The only comparable one that's significantly smaller is...

    Field Use Review of the Zanflare F3

    Thank you. I agree about Zanflare's value. They are fantastic for the money. I also own a Zanflare F1 and have purchased F6S' as gifts for others. Much like the F3, all of them are well-made while being very affordable, especially on sale or with a coupon code. While I think the F3 and the F6S'...

    Light Review: Jetbeam E01R and E10R USB Rechargeable EDC lights

    You're welcome. I also agree that electronic lock-out functions have their limitations. For pocket-carry, they make a lot of sense and it's also easier to get the flashlight on again with one hand. However, if one is short-term storing the flashlight or transporting it in a bag, glove box, etc...

    1x18650 EDC power bank with a light?

    The FiTorch P30R (wide head) and P20R (slim body) are tactical flashlights with a discharge function allowing for power bank usage with a small adapter included with the flashlight. Of course, they allow for 18650 batteries to be removed and replaced. I bought my P20R specifically for this...
