    Surefire Kroma Check In!

    Sorry, I know it's an old thread, but there's not a lot of chatter about the Surefire Kroma. A number of years ago I picked up one along with a U2. My main focus was the U2, which I'd mistakenly thought was the later version that would take 18650 cells... and it did not. It has the newer LED...

    What Happened to Zebralight R&D?

    So essentially, it sounds to me like you're implying that the Yao's are practicing a deception. By having a physical company location in the USA, they're claiming they're a US based company while in actuality all production and assembly of their lights is in China? I guess by being a private...

    What Happened to Zebralight R&D?

    NICE! I just saw that. The XHP50.3 is very recent. That's not a usual Zebralight move. I hope this means they'll be looking into 519A.

    ^ I'm curious, did you ever meet the Hurdy Gurdy man? 😄

    What Happened to Zebralight R&D?

    Sorry, I know this is somewhat of an old thread (at least it's not 2 years!), but I have a related question -- does anyone here know if Zebralight ownership has remained consistent since inception? This company is so small, there's not even a Wikipedia entry for it. There is a FlashlightWiki...

    Knife Chatter. Show and Tell!

    Seeing so many people posting about their knife acquisitions on various EDC/flashlight forums, it can be so tempting to keep growing the collection. There are a lot of great deals out there to be had for reasonable money these days. And then of course, the allure of going all in on a $400+ knife...

    Show your nightstand flashlight!

    My nightstand flashlights vary from time to time. One I like for simple eye-easy illumination is the Lumintop Geek. The UI is weird, but you can put it in a mode where only the side LED's function, the array of five warm 5mm LED's. Not quite moonlight low, but low enough with 3 brightness...

    Knife Chatter. Show and Tell!

    My small, modest knife collection. Started about 8 years ago with the SOG X-Ray Vision. Then a few months later, found the SOG Vulcan Tanto. After the Ganzo 707, I took a very long break. The SanRenMu I'd been using as a mini EDC doesn't have a clip and after some time, I wanted to get something...

    ZEBRALIGHT REVIEW – 2 Malfunctions in all 4 lights

    Kind of surprising to hear of anyone having an over 50% issue rate across a range of 10 ZL flashlights. I've never had an issue with the 3 I've owned. I started out with an SC52w. I wasn't crazy about the tint and shift, but loved everything else about the light. Later I got the SC64c LE that...

    BLF/TLF FW3A - now available

    A great advantage of the FW3A is the wide availability of options to customize your light as you see fit. Few flashlights of this caliber make such an offering. First, it's great having the Carclo optics, as many different types are available, as I posted about earlier (LINK). Second, with more...

    Pic heavy!!! Review Lumintop FW3a - In a Layman's viewpoint

    Same here. I use turbo to charge up my GITD optical insert. Otherwise, I tend to be conservative with output. I set stepped ramping (10 levels). Often on moon or within first few, then towards upper range when I'm out walking. Every so often, blast turbo in dark places. Anduril is a great UI...
