    Let’s Talk Old Flashlights c. 2005-2015

    You are very correct here as it just is not the same. Today it is hard to impress many of us here as lighting in general has kind of stalled in some ways. Yes there are some excellent products today and also still nice custom stuff however again still hard to impress the older crowd. Keep in...

    Flock cameras?

    There is no doubt the Flock system has led to the capture of many violent criminals however as is with any tool it can be abused. The officers abusing the system are being terminated from the job however they are often not being charged criminally. They are fired for policy violations and not...

    I also wish we had more P60 items especially the triple and quad set ups. I also miss the cheap easily available host lights for the P60. I always liked the CR2 stuff and although it is not popular today I wish the older CR2 lights were still available. Way back when I joined it was not just...

    I am ashamed to say even with my massive collection I somehow never bought anything from the old Jil-Lite or Ami-Lite (I think it was Ami..?) They were a simple little CR2 design however I always liked the look and for some reason never pulled the trigger. This is a little pattern I have where...

    Dano Pila was surely in that time frame and if I remember correctly they ran alongside the Wolf Eye incan models. I kind of remember them going to 18650 however the first Wolf Eyes and maybe Pila stuff I think were running 18500 cells. Pila and Wolf Eyes were identical from maybe 2000 to maybe...

    We also had some fantastic dealers way back when. I remember when County Comm offered a CMG Ultra-G for something like 10 dollars with every order over a certain amount. I still miss Light Hound as well as the Sandwich Shoppe and who can forget the deals you could get with the ARC "seconds"...

    Dafabricata was very skilled and I spent lots of time reading about his builds. I also always liked many threads from DatiLed. I have several DatiLed mods as well as Chop and LitFuse. I also vaguely remember a few things from MillerMods that were really fascinating. I think he was the first to...

    Very nice collection here and the Larry Lights really take me back. Along with the Larry Lights the Jets22 stuff is also very hard to find. I have yet to add a Muyshondt to my collection and will do so someday hopefully.

    I believe if it were closer to 2010 it is most likely the Inova Radiant series. They made these in both AA and AAA versions. Tough little lights however not even close to the original X5.....these were literally bomb proof.

    The only plastic Inova lights I remember were the small Inova Microlight and the 24/7 emergency beacon light. The first Inova I remember owning was the X5 that took two cr123 cells. I think the very first Inova had a round body then the later versions had a mild octagon type shape. I may be...

    Sold/Expired Peak LED Logan 17500 SS

    My work schedule (6pm-6am) has also made it hard to catch deals in time to purchase. Most threads are posted during day time hours and by the time I see them it is too late. It is ok with me as I do have plenty of lights already. I am happy to see it sold quickly as there appears to still be...

    What watch you're wearing?

    Vostok was never really on my radar until I read an a watch forum that they are known as the AK-47 of the watch world. They are often very plain looking or even ugly at times and while being very affordable they just work well. I also saw a video online where a man tests various watches in a...

    What watch you're wearing?

    One of my favorite beaters for nightly wear on duty. Trusty old Vostok that runs +2 sec daily and cost me about $150 total. I have several Vostoks and they are all performing very well.

    For Sale - Flashlight Antique Ecko copper flashlight

    Jim I believe the owner of this light is currently on a vacation out of the country. Give it a week or so and reach out again afterward.

    Peak aficionados, show and tell!

    I remember this project and it was a nice design. You asked why it never really went over well with police and although I can only guess I will give my opinion. I believe this was a light from 2017 as you mentioned and if so by this time the 18500 was not very common. The 18650 was still used in...

    USB on board charging....

    Everything about the EV fire was different than what I have seen with other fires. It did have a very unusual sound and even looked much brighter than a normal flame. It was almost like looking at a welding torch. This is also another reason I do not like to carry lights that use multiple Li/Ion...

    USB on board charging....

    Pocket sand....ha that is the funniest thing I have heard in some time. I responded to a garage fire on an electric vehicle and there really was not much I could do. Our local fire dept was there and simply held a small perimeter until it was finished. I watched it burn and it is hard to explain...

    Sold/Expired Peak LED Solutions, Malkoff Devices

    I agree it is interesting and as most know I have several Peak Prototypes as well. I really am not too interested in anything in 18500. I still have a few lights that use the 18500 ( Pila - Wolf Eyes ) however have not messed with them for 25 years. I also like the Mule as anything in AAA from...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    I just bought several of the Noctigon KR4 and new KR3 with multiple emitters and each has the optional 18350 adapter. I bought these as I like the lego style they offer and with the 18350 body they remind me of a much improved version of the original ARC LS. I am an absolute sucker for anything...

    Should maryjuanna be legal for non medical reasons?

    From a long time officers point of view I think out of most all of todays vices Marijuana is the most easy to deal with. I have never really had to fight much at all with weed smoker. Drunks are far more worse as well as meth addicts and harder drug users. When I say weed smokers are usually...
