    key chain vs. cell phone

    I guess I'm one of those weird people that doesn't carry a cell phone every moment of everyday but I always carry a light of some kind whether it's on my keyring or in my pocket.Why not carry both?

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    I have had good luck with Liion Wholesale Batteries.I find their prices to be very competitive.

    Gotta Have Coffee!

    I remember making what was called "cowboy coffee".Threw the coffee in the boiling water to steep.After the coffee was done the trick was to poor some cool water in the pot to settle the grounds to the bottom.You then dipped the coffee out and poured it into your cup.

    has anyone here bought from Gearbest

    I also buy from Amazon with Amazon Prime.I have ordered from the China companies but not much anymore.I like the 2-3 day shipping and easy returns that Amazon is known for.I'm certainly not made of money but I don't mind spending a few more bucks and buy from US based companies for the sheer...

    special gun light

    I would consider a light designed for weapons such as Streamlight or SureFire.They have many to choose from but I'm not sure about a high and low switch.Maybe a headlight would fill the void and would be useful for many other things.

    XTAR Direct - Still in Business?

    80% of what I buy is ordered on line.I very seldom have any problems but if I have to email a company and do not receive a reply in 72 hours I mark them off my list.Customer care is very important and keeping customers happy with good communication can pay many dividends for a company.I normally...

    Learned my lesson- zebralight

    My experience with ZL was my order was received in four days.I also thought I had a problem and sent an email asking questions.I received a phone call the next day answering my questions and it turned out the problem was me and not the light.I consider that a better than usual experience...

    sugestion for a nimh/16850 battery charger for the car

    I keep a 300w Triplite inverter in my truck at all times.Never used it for charging batteries but it does a good job charging my laptop so I am sure it would work with just about any charger you plug into a wall receptacle.

    You are hungry, it's dark, and you want a snack, which light do you grab?

    While I keep P12 on the night stand I also have a UST Brila standing by.I primarily use the low mode which is plenty of light with out disturbing others.It also has a red led if I need it.

    Post your Swiss Army knives!

    I think I have around 14-15 Swiss Army and Wenger knifes.I bought some new and a few used ones on Ebay.I like to refurbish the used knifes and make them look new.My biggest and best is the SwissChamp SOS kit.If you can't do it with the Champ it doesn't need doing.

    That's really odd.My P12 2015 never had a purple halo.Glad it's ok now.It's a great light.

    Newb here. Which flashlight would you suggest that will get me hooked on this stuff?

    I have the Nitecore EA41 which is very similar to the tn4a.I did a lot of research on this type 4 AA flashlight and don't recall why I decided on the EA41 but I think it may have had something to do with the run time or battery holder.It is about the same price and may be worth a look.I really...
