    Need advice for Foglight bulbs (H3) and Aux Driving lights (2005 Subaru Legacy)

    First, I know this is a few months old. However this is something that should be noted for the future if anyone is searching and comes across this. Subarus, and I assume others, at least during these model years used the fog lights as cornering lights too. So everytime you turn the foglight on...

    Glass versus plastic headlight lenses

    Not just from washing, but from driving in areas with a lot of sand and gritty dust.

    Light with separate Power and Function controls

    Fenix has multiple models that do this.

    I like the blue text, especially when using a dark mode.

    You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

    Let's go back a ways.... 2004 ish... when you're posting from Saudi Arabia while being a glorified security guard... I mean force protection. Or someone who I haven't seen here in a while... while he was a civilian contract employee in Scania in Iraq. He also set up a small radio station for them.

    Longest runtime for budget single AA or AAA led light on low setting to be used in tornado shelter

    The Streamlight Propolymer 4AA should be pretty cheap. It's rated at 67 lumens for 155 hours. They also make a 3AA lantern that might be more convenient if you are looking for area lighting.

    The L91 is a AA battery. It's Energizer's product number for their lithium AA. https://data.energizer.com/pdfs/l91.pdf

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Streamlight Stinger 2020. It was an impulse buy. But the ease of changing brightness levels and the solid beam of light it puts out is nice. I wish it had a fourth, extra low, setting though. But this is simple enough I might get a second one for my wife when we walk the dogs or go to the beach...

    Flashlights as a Deterrent against wild animals?

    Coyote have just looked at me like I was stupid when I used a bright light both continuous and strobe on them. I WILL use less lethal 90% of the time when an attack is imminent. I can OC a bear sooner with less of a guarantee of an attack than I can shoot one, and it will be using pain...

    What happened to good 9 volt flashlights?

    Electronic locks on safes use them, and the CO2 detectors, but many of those are also switching to built in lithiums like smoke detectors and instead of changing the battery twice a year you just replace the entire unit every decade. Or after it's been set off. Those are the only things I can...

    How do you explain this Hobby?

    I like lights. Depending on who it is, that's the answer I give them. Sometimes I'll talk about how I don't like stumbling around in the pitch black and want the best tool for the job. Different reasons work for different people. Those who work with tools, or instruments, or sporting gear who...

    Flashlight Grip Tape

    The thin grip tape for bats or racquets. There are multiple types in different thickness, texture, and feel. For a light I like the thinner ones that don't add much bulk to the light. The tape used for things like hocky sticks also works, but is more like gaffers tape than a grip tape.

    how many lumens do you reasly need

    It all depends on what I'm doing. Military mission with dark adapted eyes and just need to dig something out of a pack without losing my night vision or alerting any enemy? Maybe 1. Walking my dogs and wanting to be able to check what they are sniffing or to make sure there's no glass on the...

    Light cutting out due to corrosion

    Yes, you are correct it was 760G... The label was scrached up and it looked like an 8 to me. I have an old large tube of 760. A little has gone a long way. Not sure what the shelf life of this stuff is. Probably something I should check on.
