    Best LED for Outdoor Hikes? Tri-LED configuration. Nichia 219C vs LH351D

    Picking up another tri-led floody flashlight for hiking in the woods. I have one in Nichia 219C 4000K and like it a lot. Is it worth checking out the LH351D 4000K? How does that compare? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000121321488.html

    Looking for 1,000+ Lumens & 3 hour burn time??? Recommend

    I've read every reply. Sorry for the delay. I simply made the post and sent the link to my Park Ranger friend. Then life threw me some serious curve-balls and I got distracted. My ranger friend doesn't have much of an online presence but we discussed this thread today over the phone. We...

    Looking for 1,000+ Lumens & 3 hour burn time??? Recommend

    He has a $500 water filter. He's not one to skimp on equipment. He's not stupid with money, but more than comfy with going with a zebra-light.

    Light bars for a SUV (Subaru Forester)?

    Why are home made lamps a non-starter when you have regular lamps as backup? They will be on at the same time. Purpose? I dunno just having fun. Would be fun to light up the woods or a cliff at night. I'm not a rally racer. The most dangerous thing I do is drive on mountain roads and most...
