    Could you explain what that means to a guy like me who doesn't know flashlight talk?

    Extreme distance flashlights, what their use?

    I wonder how many of the expensive extreme throw flashlights get taken on mountain hikes? Owned by people who never got closer to a mountain hike than reading National Geographic or did they leave the light home because they don't want to take a chance on losing it? :)

    Extreme distance flashlights, what their use?

    "Not all lights are supposed to make sense." I understand, some people will buy things just because its " the biggest"or "best" or to impress others. A 150 mph car to drive on a 70 mph highway or a $100,000 diamond no one but a jeweler can tell from a cubic zerconia that costs $1000. Or...

    Extreme distance flashlights, what their use?

    I seem some here talking about lights they like that are advertised as shining to 1200, 1500, even 2500 yards. I would say that about 100 or 200 yards or so would be as far as I could identify what the light is illuminating. 2500 yards is about 1.5 miles. Other than signalling to a rescue...

    Update on my TEMU batteries and light.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say, perhaps you could state your opinion in a more polite and professional manner.

    I got my cheap $2 18650 battereis from TEMU and I'm please to say they all work. I do not have a way to measure their capacity or longevity but so far so good. I put them in my Malkof Hounddog and it works normally. The TEMU flashlight came with 21700 batteries and they will not take a charge...

    Rechargable flashlights question.

    I see many LED flashlights advertised on the net with a charger built in so you can charge with a USB cable. Some of these lights say they have an 18650 battery in them. Others don't say what the battery inside is. So do some have a built in non removable/ non replaceable battery? With those...

    Is this flashlight any good?

    I'll post a report when I get it. 90 days to return it free so I'm not too worried. I've had good luck with most things I've bought on Temu but they are mostly things that are not electrical or complicated. Things like a kitchen whisk or water bottle.

    Is this flashlight any good?

    I took a chance and ordered it from TEMU. It might be Chinese junk or maybe not. I won't get it for a week or so. Just wondering if anyone else has used one like it and what your experience was. Thanks, RCRVRP...
