    "Where's it gone ?"

    Klarus SP10 ; lost going on 4yrs now. It's not going to be found & like the OP it was lost inside the house. Wasn't found during / after the move either.

    Fisher Space Pen

    Been using Fisher pens since the 90's. Driving OTR, working security & in the factory. STILL using the original ink barrel, even says a new refill is a $1.50, if only that were still true. Have one with the silver ink that can pass as a pencil til you try & erase it. Has never failed to get the...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm

    Any gun is better than no gun but even the best 380 loads barely meet the lowest FBI testing standards for self defense rounds. That said if you use the good stuff & make your shot you have a very good chance of being just fine. You increase your odds even greater by avoiding the 3 S's; stupid...

    What’s Your Go-To Flashlight and Why?

    No "go to" light as that depends on the job at hand. My most common EDC is an Emisar dual channel D4k w/W2 & LH351 LEDs. Good throw + flood w/hiCRI & run times from the 21700 & being able to use just 2 outa 4 LED. It's not my work light, that's an Acebeam L17 & so it goes

    Sofrin or other flashlight?

    Sofirn is the Cold Steel of the flashlight market. You can buy a "better" light but how much more will it cost you? My Olight Warrior mini3 was put out of service by using it in 16f weather, my Sofirn SC31 pro works like new after surviving -13f. At 1/3 the price. Flashlights are tools. Do you...

    Anduril 2 guidance not a newbie just looking for advanced setup help

    Great thing about Anduril is there's so many settings ; bad thing about Anduril is there's so many settings & now revisions. I got in w/1st Gen And with an IF25a, my "newest" lights use A2v?. I have a flash cable somewhere & would most likely flash every light back to Av1 if I could find it...

    Olight Warrior Mini 3 KILLED by the cold?

    Couldn't find my manual so I checked online, sure enough the temp range in the pdf is 0-40 C. Again to be clear the battery that was in the light is fine, something in the tube/body changed. I couldn't tighten the head enough to make contact for a circuit

    Olight Warrior Mini 3 KILLED by the cold?

    Got my replacement Warrior today, quick CS, solid A grade BUT I asked if they knew what / why killed the old light. It's not recommended to use the light below 0c or 32f for us Americans, not sure if this just applies to the Warrior Mini 3 or all Olights or just lights with a tail switch. It...

    Spot vs flood

    Flood v throw is like asking phillips v blade. Both are tools with a little over lap. I've found for my most common uses a hybrid is ideal. That's a Hank light D4k or D4sV2 dual channel set up. One channel is a W1 LED & the other a LH351, throw + flood in the same light(s). The 21700 is more...

    Olight Warrior Mini 3 KILLED by the cold?

    So Olight sent a return tag, got in the mail Monday, less than 4hrs later I had an email that a replacement had been sent, w/tracking. Still no idea what broke / caused the issue but the CS is scoring well at this point.

    Olight Warrior Mini 3 KILLED by the cold?

    Olight ask for pic & had me fill out online form. Took a couple of tries to make then understand the battery was fine.

    Olight Warrior Mini 3 KILLED by the cold?

    C&P my post to Olight CS USA. Will post updates as I have them. To be clear the battery is fine, works & charges in my S2R. The battery does not fit into the body as before & I can see no outward appearance of damage or cause in the body or tail switch.
