    Your failures / rage that it din't turn on.. etc...

    Is there anything more infuriating than waiting weeks for parts to ship and than it doesn't illuminate? How about waiting for the Wife to "get ready" for a night out.

    What Light In Your First Aid Kit?

    While it's a good thing to have a flashlight at hand, I just wonder how many responders have taken at least a basic course as how to apply first aid to the injured one may encounter?

    A set of lights for a world downfall.

    I would really like to have lights that run on 123a batteries, because of their ten year shelf life, with low lumens for extended runtime. In a World downfall scenario, bright lights could make one a target for anyone trying to find water, food, or anything else that could prolong their survival.

    Flashlights are getting too bright, Lumens race getting out of hand...

    I see your point, to an extent. Small single cell lights that can put out a crazy amount of lumens for only a minute or so before they overheat are trying to push out more than what they're capable of handling. But, IMO, a multi-cell light that can handle the 1000+ lumens without overheating...

    Armytek Barracuda owners

    I've been using this light for about one week. It is an excellent thrower with no donut hole. Seems just a little brighter than my catapult V-2 XML, but that could be due to the reflector. The output when changing modes from 750 to 1160 is nearly imperceptible, so I wouldn't get too pumped up...

    Dropped by Sunwayman NOW what?

    I would honestly be surprised if it wasn't covered, repaired or replaced. Customer relations, I would think, hold a lot of sway with future sales. Of course there will be obvious limits to what the light has been put through, i.e. running over with a lawn mower. But in this case, seems to be a...

    Old Flashlight - Can someone identify what it is?

    I'm wondering if it could have been used for traffic control. Couldn't find anything to back this notion, but the three different colors have to had served a purpose. And they're a close match to the traffic signals used now. Whatever its original use, that is one funky looking light.;)
