    Coast Polysteel 250 questions

    My suggestion is to stay away from 3 aaa battery configuration lights, as others have stated, regardless of brand. Go for a 2 aa or some other configuration of aa if your looking to stay with that style battery and not lithium ion. I have a couple coast pen lights, a single and double aaa...

    For urban exploration

    I would definitly 2nd or 3rd or whatever the need for backup and actually probaby 3 lights in minimum id carry into any sort of situation like this. A floody style headlamp, running at a low to medium level for the entire time your in, satisfies constant near field light right in front of you...

    2 Cell or 1 Cell Cr123 for EDC?

    Single cell for sure if for off duty/pocket carry. I'm an olingt fan. the S series are all very nice. The S mini is absolutely tiny, disappears in your pocket or also has a deep carry clip. ITs bigger brother, the S1R still very small also the same pocket carry or clip but just a little...

    Most efficient flashlight ??? (AA & or 18650)

    yeah that's why I kinda mentioned 20 lumens as a starting point. more than enough for Indoors, and still decent even outside, u less you need to see across a field. just curious if there were known lights to just be really efficient. I have numerous multi mode lights so in reality I'll just...

    Most efficient flashlight ??? (AA & or 18650)

    I was just thinking, is there anywhere or anyone that has done a comparison or list if lights that utilize their battery power to light output ratio the best? Thinking along the lines of SHTF/grid down for extended time. I keep a large set (dozen or so) of cheaper lower capacity 18650's i got...

    I just ordered the same from manafont, i was thinking the same thing, no more blinky modes and no mre soft squishy clicky switch!!!! I think I'll put the 5 mode one to dedicated car glovebox duty. the strobe may actually be useful in a breakdown/emergency situation but i dont like it in an edc...

    Best 1 x CR123 Light

    If on a budget I'd vote for jetbeam BC10. It screams on high, has a fairly bright low (actually more like a medium) Runs for 18 hours on low, about 1 hour on high, had a pocket clip and forward clicky for momentary on action ( a must for an offhand firearm light )

    Sold/Expired FS: Polished McGizmo Haiku XP-G **SOLD**

    Re: FS: Polished McGizmo Haiku XP-G **PRICE DROP** This is an awesome light and would make a great EDC, but it bothers me that its not driven harder on high. For a light this nice and costs this much I feel like I should be getting a light with at least 250 lumens or more on high. My $40...

    ITP A1 EOS issue

    I dont have mine here at work with me to look at it and see how its setup inside, but I'd go with the SS version, has the newer better emiter in it anyways, although it might be a lil hefty for keychain carry, i just use the clip on it or deep pocket it, its so small!! I have the A3 for keychain...
