Show your nightstand flashlight!

[importculture]

It's a window.


Yes, a basement bedroom with an escape window. Why? Doesn't everyone have one? :yellowlaugh:

Our Window Guy wasn't happy with our lack of two ways out of the room .... so, we had him install a second option.

Here's the other nightstand in our bedroom.

Amazing home, collection, and organization!

 

[Chauncey Gardener]

Amazing home,

Thank you. Mother-in-law quipped that it was a nice starter home. We still love it after 38 years.

collection,

Thank you. Enjoying the hobby has been an everyday part of my life for about 13.5 years.

and organization!

Thanks again. Sharing the collection with other enthusiasts adds to the enjoyment of our silly little hobby. It's only on the rarest of occasions that I'll post a picture of the entire collection, don't want people thinking I'm crazy or merely showing off.

I've had this one forever and it's the perfect nightstand light imo. It has all the requirements (to me atleast lol) for it's job. 3k 219c, diffused lens, sub lumen low and bright enough to see anything I might need.

This is my nightstand-light

You have a certain drop in for that? If so what ya got?

Warm-Comfy light, Not that bright
forgot who did it - but Runs on 2xCR123

Nice. I actually prefer lower output lights and lumens. To me runtime over lumens is much more practical

I like neither. I prefer both low output and low runtime. Best of both worlds

 

[ilikeguns40]

Everyone’s different. For my uses, I rarely use full output. I get by with moonlight sub lumen levels and I’d say around 300 lumen is max for my normal usage

No I was kinda being serious. Most of my lights are incans. So they are low output and low runtimes. Unless you’re in a power outage 70% of the time what use is moonlight mode? Bathroom breaks in the night? Then you only need 2 mins runtime. Not days. Btw 300 lumens is a ton

Neither? I said I prefer low output and so you stated you prefer that as well?

Wouldn’t low output with extended runtime be better than low output and low runtime?

Now days 300 lumens to 90% of the crowd is weak. Do I use around 300 lumens? Sometimes at work, but my normal average lumen level id say is between 20-50

Ya same here. I prefer around 40 L for being outside at night. Sometimes less, sometimes a little more. What I meant about runtimes is as long as I get roughly 2 hours, that’s all I need. Usually it’s much less though

 

[ilikeguns40]

Yup. Quality lights play a big role in this aspect as well

300 lumens in a well focused beam is a hell of a lot more than 300 lumens out of a mismatched led and reflector

Agreed. I’m more of nice balance between flood and throw. One of the reasons I choose Malkoff lights. The reflectors made by Don Mcleish (McGizmo) are the best I’ve used. Very little lumens seem like a lot more because of the nice reflector paired with candela is perfection.

A tiny Weltool M-6 20 lumen AAA is all you need for a little nightstand light.
Quality 3000k mini penlight/inspection light.

No offense, some of us need more.

I couldn't agree with you more. It is good to see you @Monocrom. Hope you and the family had a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

My current nightstand lineup.

I have had as many as this on my nightstand
