    Let’s hear from the hard core AAA users!

    I recently received an Olight i3T and was disappointed that it is almost the same size as the Eagtac D25A which has a much nicer emitter, hence it will collect dust.

    Let’s hear from the hard core AAA users!

    How is the beam pattern of the SFT-40 compared to the 519A in this light? I’m waiting for a restock of better emitters currently before purchasing and I’m strongly considering the SFT-40 in a D3A.

    Let’s hear from the hard core AAA users!

    The more I use a flashlight and EDC one the more simple a UI I require. I may be roasted but Anduril is a novelty to me and so far one has not been offered in a size that I would consider an EDC. I think this is why out of all the light choices I have to EDC the D25A/D3A keep finding their way...

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I’ve not been focused enough on the details of all of these explanations so forgive me if I’m mentioning something that isn’t an issue here but… What I have had happen to me before is not to be in the mode that I thought I was when programming. I think of the modes as one click 1&2, hold 1&2...

    Minimum usable illumination -- ideas?

    I’m using 0.05 lumens for bathroom trips and such at night. I’m most comfortable indoors or outdoors with a minimum of around 3-5 lumens in the absence of any other light source if the sole need is merely navigating at a non rushed walking pace and see several feet in front of me. 10-15 lumens...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    A few years ago I ran across my Brinkman 1AAA that had been long lost and succumbed to an alkileak. Your post reminded me of it and why Mag-lite never made a 1xAAA in the shape of their 2xAAA. I remember the AAA Brinkman being brighter than the Solitare and looked more like a mini mag.

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    A misprint one of two places because it says four levels but only three are noted above.

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I’m at work and have not had the time to compare the two so far but you just “slowed my roll”. 😉

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I’m normally not one to bite quickly on new lights. That saved me from the quirkiness of the KR1AA. But for someone that has been eyeing a SC600 anyway this seems to be an obvious buy.

    I really like mine!

    This forum dead or dying?

    I also hardly ever outside of work use a PC. The phone is more convenient for me and most likely limits my engagement and depth of conversation. My personality also contributes as I typically don’t have much to say. Also life is busy and there is always work to be done on the property. The...

    Let’s hear from the hard core AAA users!

    I dug up an old ARC clone that I haven’t fully tested yet. It will light up at 0.6 When the light went out the cell was at 0.3 with no recovery. Still need to test its lowest voltage on start up. If I could find a C01 or an E01 I’d jump on one. I imagine there are a lot in junk drawers that...

    This forum dead or dying?

    I agree. With Reddit I set the order of posts so that the most upvoted isn’t always what I am shown. A benefit of Reddit is not knowing who approves or disapproves your posts or comments. On the flip side if you prefer a community feel of traditional forums and you are well known and liked by...

    As a side note. The propaganda machine is running full steam ahead now days. Data mining and privacy invasion is right alongside.

    This forum dead or dying?

    My time here has definitely not been influential as I have drawn more knowledge than I’ve passed down. I do remember that this forum was the only place where flashlights of all things were discussed on the internet. After doing a few simple mods and ordering a few good lights, life happened and...
