    In your pocket do you carry a knife much larger than your flashlight?

    I haven't carried a knife in years and don't seem to miss it. In the past I've carried one of those small Victorinox knives with the scissors on the back side, a MiniBuck that I cut part of the handle out to make one handed, and a small Beretta skeleton knife. Each was attached to my keys (only...

    Harbor Freight Quantum QFL-090 penlight

    I picked up the Harbor Freight Quantum QFL-090 penlight today. Two AAA batteries. 90 lumens; 3 hr runtime. For under $7 it's pretty nice. It's machined from aluminum. Both ends are threaded, so it seems like it could be a good donor for DIY projects. It has a removable (and reversible) pocket...

    Most used lights

    Over the last two or three years, my ThruNite Ti3. I keep it near my keys and take it with me when I leave the house. Over the next few years, my Streamlight Sidewinder might become my most used. I plan on using it when I go out to get firewood at night.

    Lodge Cook-it-all & pizza

    I've used a dutch oven in the past. What's cool about this (for me, anyway), is the ability to put a normal size pizza pan in it. I should have included a link to the company's website. It has photos of it being used in various ways...

    Travel and camping lights of choice

    For travel I usually have a Thrunite Ti3 in my pocket. For (car) camping, I use my Fenix HL10 the most. I have a 3D maglight that I take. I don't use it much, but if I need light because like someone dropped a contact, then I've got it. I don't backpack anymore. I just got a Streamlite...

    AAA headlamp?

    There doesn't seem to be an easy way to remove it. It's a cylinder that fits around the barrel of the light. You could cut it off with a knife easy enough. It looks like it is the only lens in front of the LED though. I'm not sure what glare people are referring to. I haven't noticed any.

    Lodge Cook-it-all & pizza

    I just got back from a camping trip. I got to use my new Lodge Cook it all. It's big and heavy, so it's only appropriate for car camping. Supposedly you can use it as a big griddle, as a grill, and as a wok of sorts. The only reason I got it was for making pizza. It works great. The top has...

    need high-discharge AA NiMH

    According to my Kill-a-Watt the wall wart draws 1 watt (120v) when it's plugged in, and 2 watts when it's hooked up to the device and the device is on. The instruction manual specs the power consumption at "4.0 Watts (DC)." It uses 4 AA batteries. It's worked with some sets of NiMH that I've...

    need high-discharge AA NiMH

    I need some high-discharge AA NiMH batteries. It's actually for an audio recorder, not a flashlight, but I can't think of any group that knows as much about such matters. I got some AA NiMH batteries at Harbor Freight, and they work well in my Thrunite Archer 2A V3.

    fulton 3D to LED

    I have an OD green Fulton 3D flashlight that I want to convert to LED. It seems to have a PR6 bulb. The PR6 LEDs that I see are for 2D. Does someone make one for 3D?

    Best light to cut through smoke

    According to physics, red light will reflect back less, so you will see best in smog or smoke with a red light. Fog lights on cars are yellow because tail lights are red, and yellow is closer to red than white. Blue is the worst. The other thing that will help is to keep the light as far from...

    Troubleshooting trailer turn signals

    Sorry for the delay in responding. A giant oak fell in our yard so I haven't been able to get back to the trailer until yesterday (busy chopping wood). It's all working fine now, so I can only assume I didn't have the plug in well enough or something. I'll put some silicon grease on the pins.

    ThruNite Ti3

    I got the cool white, but I'm not particular about color temperature.

    ThruNite Ti3

    My Ti3 arrived. I think it's perfect for what I want it for. I was thinking the low level might be too dim, but it's really enough to see to get around when it's dark. On high it's amazingly bright for such a small light. Thanks everyone!
