    Too big for EDC?

    I carry my rear switch lights tail up. The rubber switch is a little snaggy but not much of a problem to me. Another preference of mine is tail cap lock out. I always carry with the tail cap 1/4 turn locked out. Lights now a days are too powerful and can burn holes in clothing and backpacks. I...

    Too big for EDC?

    I like a tube style 25mm X 130mm with a tail switch and an orange peel reflector. Some TIR lense lights are nice too. I find this size easy to EDC. Lights that are bigger or have a bigger head I'm less likely to carry in a pants pocket.

    Forum member "WHELMFLASH" is a THIEF., beware

    I noticed the first post has been moved to here from another thread " General guide how to protect against scammers ". Both the OP and the accused are newer members. It seems the dispute has spilled over to here for some reason.

    NITECORE SRT9 newer alternatives?

    Nothing I have seen lately. It seems like control ring lights are not popular. SRT9 stands alone.

    Show your Sunwayman collection!

    Nice lights. I didn't know there was a CPF edition. Wish I bought a Ti version back then.

    Mechanic's headlamp

    The headlamp in the video in first post is ok but does not have much battery life. Still need a flashlight when doing dash work. I use a Wizard on a backwards baseball cap.

    dont ever move to a small town!!!!!

    I'm reading about the dirtbike and ATV riders running around NY city in a lawless fashion. We did the same in the small town I grew up in. No legal place to ride so we rode where we didn't get noticed much. Chased by police, etc. Only the people swinging shovels at us were terrorized.

    Man charged with felony assault for shining flashlight at officer

    So now when asked if he’s ever been arrested he can say yes, for felony assault of a police officer. That Sheriff needs a different job.

    Does anyone like Surefire anymore?

    I really don't pay much attention to Surefire. I have 2 6p's with non Surefire LED modules and an EDCLS-T that I like except it only takes primaries. If it could take a rechargeable battery I'd probably carry it. I had an LX2 Lumamax but sold it. It was too bright on low to walk with for me...

    Question: For what purpose do you use your high lumen output lights?

    I use my 4,000 lumen lights for sweeping areas and when I walk down the street at night. When I hear a car coming I shine ahead so I look like another car coming and the person usually dims the headlights before they shine on me. I will also shine my high output lights at co-workers messing...

    Signaling with a Flashlight from 18 Miles Away

    Thanks Lumencraft for the fun video ! I like to see these real world tests. It's been a while since Marshall @ Going Gear took a bunch of current lights and lit up the woodline behind a large field. Keep the Vids coming
