    4Sevens announces closure

    I wish David the best of luck his products made me a Flashaholic. I am hopeful that the new owner can bring back some of the Quark Tactical lights. They are simply the best light I have ever owned. Newer lights may be brighter, but that UI of the Quark tactical is perfect. I can only post...

    quark tactical remake (gen 4?)

    I have 4 Quark Tactical lights, I lost my 5th a AA model. These were the best lights ever made, and still my favorite now some 5 years later. I really hope that 4/7's could make these again. I really don't even need the option to set levels, its nice, but just a low and turbo mode would...

    Do you use a high CRI LED light for work?

    Yes I use a High CRI Zebralight to photograph cosmetic flaws on interior vehicle parts at work. Color match, textural issues, clear coat flaws ect. And the blue tint of many leds masks the issue. Our standard is natural sunlight and we try to replicate that in plant but for some issues you...

    A flashlight of your dream!

    I have posted this in the past but what I really need is... An 18650/cr123 flashlight with a nice throw beam reflector in the normal spot up top, and a side led headlamp with a wide beam on the side of the same body. The side led need not have a reflector at all. I would be able to pack the...

    the Best Day of Your Life... Your Story

    The day my daughter was born (2 years ago) and I held her for the first time... So scared and worried that I could take care of her, I was sure I would "break" her. That day changed everything and every day after that has been completely different. Things just seem to have more meaning now...

    Are headlamps your " everything light" ?

    I find that if I am trying to illuminate something within 20' or prefer a headlamp much better than a "Flashlight" but anything over that distance I want the throw and aiming ability of a hand held light. I still EDC a handheld, but I would be better served with a headlamp for EDC I just cant...

    Leaving flashlights with batteries in the car in the summer

    Re: Long term storage (car glove compartment) battery question All my (occasional use) lights are running AA or CR123 Lithium primaries.

    Use a flashlight or not in dangerous situations

    I guess I will chime in on this one. I am a 17year LEO (now retired), 9 of those as CEO of my agency, and 12 years as an Instructor. I think that there is a threshold that must be passed before you light someone up with the hot spot of a light, especially with a high lumen count. If you...

    EDC mode spacing poll

    I have become a fan of really simple 2 mode light for edc. I really like having the ability to feel the light (loose or tight head) and know what mode it will come on in, and not having to toggle through several modes to get to the one I want. I am a bit older so the moonlights don't work for...

    Anyone buy the Armytek Tiara A1 or C1 yet?

    "So, firefly modes of the current version can be differ from each other. But this mode is in the flashlight and allows a user to have a little light. It happens due to the organization of very bright modes in the flashlight." That's why I'm not going to buy an Armytek light . You don't...

    What light would you bring to this event?

    I assume that this is taking place in the woods, so I would want a wide angle headlamp to see where I am walking and to avoid tunnel vision. Its easy to have a throw flashlight and take a stick in the eye because you are holding it so it does not illuminate things at eye level, but reaches out...

    Things today's kids missed out on

    I totally agree, but in some cases you have no choice. When a big chain store comes into a small town everything else dies off, and the next town may be 30 miles away so you are in fact stuck with that one option. And I hate that. On another note I have spent an hour looking at this post...

    Things today's kids missed out on

    I live in a small town and that happened here also, we are to small for Walmart, but Kroger, Dollar General, CVS pharmacy, Rural King, ect. and of course Fast Food restaurants have replaced all the one owner shops on main street. In the larger towns Walmart came in and drove most of the small...

    Best simple keychain led light?

    Olight i2 or i3 are both great key chain lights. I like the AA i2 a little better because I always have some AA's around for spares.
