    Where did all the oldtimers go.

    I heard he took up drinking.

    Olight Baton 3 Runtimes

    7h*60lm/0.55A*3.7V = 206 lm/W. I don't believe that number. Wait for graphs.

    WARRIOR X TURBO

    The L18 is a thrower. The L30 is a general-purpose beam with much higher output and much less throw. The S25V is somewhere in the middle with less throw than the L18, but a slimmer head.

    WARRIOR X TURBO

    I think few people would consider it to be EDC sized, and I think its use of a proprietary battery is unacceptable. The Acebeam L18 and Eagtac S25V are possible alternatives.

    Rechargeable Flashlight (actual unit not cell)

    Ahh, I was assuming this was replacing one of the more popular Olight models, which use sideswitches. The Acebeam EC35 II is one of my favorites for a tailswitch and onboard charging, though the version with good color rendering in exclusive to Killzone Flashlights, a US-based dealer. It may...

    Rechargeable Flashlight (actual unit not cell)

    Skilhunt has been making some lights that should be very compelling for people who are attracted to the sort of thing Olight is known for. Like Olight, they offer lights with USB-to-magnetic charging and batteries included (note that on some models the battery is *optional*), but they offer some...

    New Product - NITECORE NPB1 5000mAh Waterproof Power Bank

    Given Nitecore's experience making flashlights that are waterproof and have removable batteries, I'm going to be charitable and call that surprising.

    New Product - NITECORE NPB1 5000mAh Waterproof Power Bank

    1x21700 form factor good... but it's non-removable?

    How to replace Fenix TK35 LED?

    The driver is in the head as well, and much more likely to be the source of a failure than the LED. But in either case, getting the pill out will take torque, and maybe heat. A blowtorch might be a bit much - maybe a hair dryer, or very careful use of a heat gun.

    How to replace Fenix TK35 LED?

    It definitely looks like it's meant to unscrew, so more force or a tool that gives you better purchase on it may be necessary. LEDs are rarely the failure point when a flashlight stops working; are you sure that's what's wrong? Fenix has a lifetime warranty. If you didn't damage the light...

    Acebeam new X10 7000lm CRI≥90 flashlight now presenting

    When Acebeam describes a battery as "customized", so far they have meant it has a protection circuit added, and it looks like in this case, a USB charging port. This is different from Olight's use of the same word to mean the light has reduced, or no functionality with a standard battery.

    Acebeam new X10 7000lm CRI≥90 flashlight now presenting

    I'm glad to see Acebeam finally found the high-CRI option for the LH351D. What's the color temperature?

    Any headlight matching requirements?

    I can think of one light matching these requirements, with a couple caveats. Your momentary activation for signaling will be by twisting the tailcap. It does have magnetic charging, but there's no flap and it does not impact waterproofing. The lowest white mode is 2.3 lumens, but the lowest red...

    Samsung INR18650-300 won't charge to 3000 mha, why please ?

    If you fill up your car, which has a 20 gallon gas tank, and it only takes 15 gallons, does that mean something is wrong?

    18650 li-ion battery question

    If you succeed in charging an 18650 cell that has been in an over-discharged state for a while, there's a risk it will explode. This doesn't seem worthwhile.
