    Penlight recommendation

    I have...'plenty' of 4/7 lights, and a few from Prometheus. I have to admit though, that my new Wurkkos (not a penlight) is impressive full stop; let alone for the price. I second both replies: buy a new preon, or try a Wurkkos. Or, I could sell you my neutral-tint Preon that hasn't seen much...

    My 2021 Search

    Inner Prop, I also have some nice cr123 torches that I’ve used extensively for a few years. They’re bright and wonderful for edc, but don’t last very long on high. My Wurkkos has a 21700, and the runtime difference is huge. It charges with usb c, just like my cell phone 😎👍 Mine is a right...

    My 2021 Search

    I too struggled with the AA/AAA limitation because I have the stock of cells and the chargers all dialed in. My wife is even onboard with swapping eneloops. My advice is to do yourself a favor and move away from the A’s to get vastly more runtime and as much blindish power as you want. What...

    Help me pick a FL for a gift to an art expert

    Another vote for the Prometheus UV light. My wife is an art & jewelry person, and I got one for her (and one for me, of course!). It's been great, and runs on a AAA eneloop.

    *** Maelstrom MXS 2nd Run

    Still loving my MXS, and today noticed 2 funny things: 1. turbo sometimes steps down immediately (like 1/2 second or something) instead of staying active for 30 seconds. 2. sometimes I can get a double-click to turn the light off instead of activating turbo. #1 happened out of the blue just...

    *** Maelstrom MXS 2nd Run

    I second Mr. Tone’s sentiment; my new MXS contains the only 26650 I own, and I have no plans to acquire others. Normally I’m careful to not take on a random battery size, but not this time. The MXS is just there when I need it, and has so much run time I really don’t have to think any more...

    Disaster Light for Emergency workers

    I appreciate LEDphile's perspective on this topic, where you rely on the same gear you're used to using and carry a set of batteries for extended use. Further to this point, when I need extra batteries I usually carry them inside an inexpensive but functional torch (or two). The batteries are...

    Poll: Would you buy a reasonably priced FourSevens Mini Mark II body for your Mini Mark III?

    GarageBoy, I can't speak for DaveTheDude or the Mini Mk III, but I have three Mini Mk II's that I use all the time. I have a bit of trouble operating the twisty with one hand, and I believe but cannot confirm that this would be more difficult without the dogbone style body. Also, I often hold...

    Maratac 2 x AA (rev 5) - thoughts?

    I carried a Maratac 1xAAA on my keychain for a couple years forever ago. Bright and inexpensive, but like GoVegan said the memory was really annoying. Or maybe they did a med-high-low or some other weird sequence. I had a big handful of these, and giving them all away made my life better.

    *** Maelstrom MXS 2nd Run

    I just got mine. It's a beautiful creation. High CRI is sooooooo nice. Like run4jc said, there's a tint shift (spot in the middle) that's kinda annoying on the white wall, but doesn't seem to be noticeable in real-world use. Yes, it's bright. I haven't taken it outside yet, but it's...

    Four Sevens Maelstrom X7

    I've decided to look for a new home for my 4 Sevens Maelstrom X7. Momentary or click-on with the tail, and twist the head to choose levels. Max is something like 500 or 700 lumens, and Moonlight is very low indeed. I use a pair of CR123's to power it, but it will work with a single larger...

    Sold/Expired (Closed) WTB: Foursevens Polished Titanium lights

    Re: WTB: Foursevens Polished Titanium lights Happy New Year! I have a Quark 2AA Tactical titanium that my wife doesn't use anymore, but no packaging. It is "445 of 750", and has some dings and scratches from normal use. If you can't find a more pristine one, mine could find a better home.
