    No-drain wall-mounted light?

    Hi, I'm looking for multiple emergency flashlights to stash around the house. Important criteria: 1) Zero parasitic drain. I need to rely on not finding them dead. Loosening the tail cap is not an acceptable substitute as I want others to be able intuitively use them without training. 2) Wall...

    Long lasting emergency flashlight/battery combination?

    Hi, Thanks again for all the info! I broke my own rules and have ordered some 9v "handyman" safelights for the bags, and a couple of Quark 123 minis for EDC. There's (of course) no single do-everything light; this mix offers both utility & dependable backup. I am looking forward to the lights...

    Long lasting emergency flashlight/battery combination?

    Hi, Thanks for the replies and warm welcome! I'd like $200 total/$40 ea, final price shipped to CA, *before* cells. Note I currently don't have anything other than alkalines at home, would have to buy Eneloops/charger (if required) on top of this. I'm comfortable buying lithium disposables...

    Long lasting emergency flashlight/battery combination?

    Hi, I have been looking into flashlights for emergency preparedness kits for my family. I have the following criteria: 1. Long run times are more important than lumen level 2. Needs to store well 3. Not expensive as I need to buy 5 (home, 2x car, 2x workplace) 4. Strong preference for AA cells...
