    Light for late night reading?

    They (ZL) do make the 'c' (high cri neutral white) and the 'd' (high cri daylight) tints that may be more to your liking. I would suggest looking at some of stefano's posts here on CLF......he has some amazing ZL headlamp reviews, vids, and gifs to show the difference tints in use.

    Light for late night reading?

    Ever consider using a headlamp? I spend many many many hours reading to my 5 year old daughter b4 bed, And all hours of the day. Whether day or night I use a Zebralight h52w which is compatible with aa/14500 cells and hosts a neutral white tint. It works out great as I wear it in the headlamp...

    Buying 14500 cells

    I've been using orbtronics protected 14500....believe it uses a Sanyo 840 mah as the host. Great cells. I have 5 in constant rotation as at least 1 cell is used daily. They were all purchased about 14 months ago and still going strong. I checked the capacities of 2 of the cells the other day...

    Words to Live By.

    'But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused...

    Favorite Buget light.

    Xtar WK42 XML U2 powered by single 16340. Won auction off of fleabay for $14.50 delivered. Very small profile. Clips quite nicely on pocket and disappears. And quite bright on highest setting of "300 lumen" (active for 5 mins then steps down) and usable low at "3 lumen". There are also "190 and...

    6600mah power bank for $5 five dollars

    I purchased 3 of these little battery banks in mid August. $5 per. 2 passed off as gifts and I kept one. I have cycled/charged it over twenty times and have had no issues what-so-ever. The other two have been used by friends and no issues there either. Mine actually saved the day as the battery...

    Spyderco 'Salt' series folding knives

    Agreed, Ballistol is great for many many things. Metal, wood, even leather. It does form a nice protective layer on metal for use in water environments, but I do clean and lube my Salt after every outing/day of work on the water. In regards to toxicity, I've heard of people putting it on...
