    REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire BLF Q8 Searchlight

    I came back to re-read this fantastic review of the BLF Q8. After years of enjoyment I couldn't agree more. I am looking for an upgrade to the Q8 and so far, I can't find anything that can compete with the Q8. Ideally, I will someday soon find a light that is lighter, brighter, has similar...

    Test/review of Nitecore SC4

    Bingo! I think you are on target, my USA version must be the answer for both the SCR 4 and the "New" D4. No chirping, no sparking, no heat. For several years the D4 worked flawlessly. However, I recently decided I wanted to upgrade to a faster, more capable charger. Thanks for the reply...

    Test/review of Nitecore SC4

    I am baffled by your comments KG: "It's crud. It's very noisey [sic]." :confused: "18650 Terminate at 4.14V????" huh? :confused: "Shocks?" "Sparks?" D4 = Hot? :confused: I am stumped, to be fair I only received my copy of the Nitecore SC4 yesterday. I used it to charge 8 of the...

    REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire TK05

    Again, thank you for another useful and thoughtful review. Sold! On the strength of your recommendation I placed an order - good timing too! I was pleased to find a 30% discount bringing my cost down to $14 and change. Given your recommendation, at that price this light is a bona fide steal!

    REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire TG06S_UPDATE

    Re: REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire TG06S Thanks for the links to the reviews of comparable lights, the search feature on CPF needs work. I am eager to read both of those reviews. This AA/14500 form factor is basically a renewed interest of mine. I took several years off of my flashlight hobby...

    REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire TG06S_UPDATE

    Re: REAL WORLD REVIEWS – ThorFire TG06S I enjoyed your review of the TK06S even though we have slightly differing opinions on this light. Let me start by sharing where I agree with your conclusions: I too enjoy the beam color, it is pleasing to my eye and most importantly my wife likes it...

    Need Spring For Nitecore Defender Infinity

    Until this was broken I didn't realize how much I really like this light. For a AA light it still is one of my favorites. It's too bad the customer service is absent. Doesn't inspire much brand loyalty.

    Need Spring For Nitecore Defender Infinity

    Hi Derek, and thank you for the suggestions. Interestingly, out-of-the-blue, I received an email at 3:16 this morning from Nitecore saying that my "case" had been "referred to Ken in sales." Further that he would be contacting me. Time will tell how that works out. Meanwhile, Nitecore...

    Need Spring For Nitecore Defender Infinity

    Somehow I lost the battery spring on my AA Nitecore Defender Infinity. I've emailed Nitecore and after two and a half weeks they finally said "Good news we have the spring how can we send to you?" I sent them my name and address and asked them to reply with PayPal instructions or whatever and no...

    ANY BOATERS OUT THERE? NEED A GOOD RECOMMENDATION

    Hi there, I'm hoping to find a good deal on a flashlight to carry on my boat for emergencies and any suggestions would be appreciated. Here are the most important criteria: Must float. Resist saltwater. Take alkaline C or D cells. Reasonably powerful. Thanks in advance.

    Life Gear lights

    You're quite welcome Wildweed, and thank you for mentioning the AA 80 lumen. Given how delighted we are with the 2C 210 lumen we will definitely want to look at the rest of the lineup from Life Gear. You just can't beat the bang for the buck with the 2C light from Life Gear/Costco. :twothumbs

    Life Gear lights

    EXCELLENT REVIEW! I have both lights and I would make the margin of superiority between the two much wider between the two and definitely in favor of the Life Gear 210 lumen 2C. I love the value this light provides for the price. :twothumbs:party: I'm stunned by the CPFrs who are complaining...
