    Magcharger charging cradle

    Well, what do you consider a bad day? Job took away one eight hour sift, some young hothead tried to get in between me and a semi and I almost hit him, someone got my place at the gas pump, and a car pulls out in front of me and I hit my brakes causing some stuff to hit the floor. When I got...

    Tariffs..

    Just wondering and maybe yall were also--how are the tariffs imposed on china going to affect buying flashlights since most come from china? I'm not saying that I disagree with the tariffs and I'm not trying to be political here.

    Why does the incandescent ML25IT 3c put out more lumens than the 3D?

    I know what yall are thinking--that I probably used a pr type bulb in the 3d maglite, but no, I installed the new bipin bulb in it. The 3c really is brighter than the 3d and the ml25it 3c is listed as 63 lumens while the new 3d is listed as 45. Looks like the numbers are correct, but why? Am I...

    Why does maglite's shipping price stink?

    I was going to pull the trigger on a brand new 3d xenon maglite and the price was decent--between $27 and $28 and the tax wasn't bad, but time they added the shipping onto it the price was over $40. I got one like new from ebay for under $28 shipped. So today I figured I would get a xenon bipin...

    Energizer "stranger things" flashlight

    I was at walmart yesterday and I checked out the ever shrinking flashlight section and on the end of it there was a ribbed retro looking flashlight (I think all steel) and a few had batteries in them, so I tried one out. It has an artifact free beam with a hotspot between medium and small...

    Rayovac rechagable at walmart

    Rayovac is back with a dandy at walmart. It is around the size of a standard 3aaa light, but it's rechargable. 320 lumens on high lasts 3 hours and a 122 lumen (I think) low lasts 4 hours according to the package. It also has a strobe feature. I tried it out in walmart and the hotspot is smaller...

    A Paranormal Thread

    Originally entitled "I was just on a youtube call in show" If you want to hear some of my paranormal stories check out chasing the truth with Shawn Grahm. Not the one on the dark waters channel, but the other. It was live when I called in. Unscreened open lines just like Art Bell. That's...

    Shipping from china

    Ok, I'm new at ordering from china. It seems like a flashlight I've ordered is finally here in the USA from one part I've read, but has been in customs for a week or more. Is this normal? Another part says: "International shipment release - Import". I've ordered two from aliexpress that...

    Dakota lithium ion rechargable batteries

    A friend told me about these. You can run them all the way down and it won't hurt them like it will other brands.

    Warm white vs incandescents

    I don't know if it's just me, but the led warm white offerings just don't measure up to what real incandescent lights can put out. As far as leds go it seems I'm more of a neutral white fan now. What I call neutral though is no noticable blue or yellow- just white. A lot of lights nowadays can...

    Goodby

    To all my friends on here. I cannot continue to be a member of this forum because I cannot be myself here. If I innocently post something mildly religious on the surface I offend someone, so I'm leaving here. I cannot be myself without anymore. I mean, who can I thank when things are going well...
