    Prevalence of cool white flashlights?

    I know that convoy--at least on the C-8 a few years back let you chose your Led type and also your color temp. I chose 5000k on mine and also chose 5000k version of the wurkkos FC11. I don't like the warmer tint Leds, but I like the cooler tint (6500k) on my car's headlights. Novesight and...

    Magcharger charging cradle

    Could be. Only thing is both types of batteries fit and charge up. The new type (nimh) works not only with the led magcharger but also the halogen one according to maglite's website and I read somewhere that the newer charger charges a bit slower for the nimh battery than the older one did for...

    Magcharger charging cradle

    Well, the old battery that came with the magcharger also charged up, so things are going alright (so far) with this new addition to my flashlight collection. I like it, but as usual I liked it better before I got it.....am I normal or a little touched in the head? My chickens done said I was...

    Rest in Peace Bykfixer 🙏

    "i am worthy not of my works but the sacrifice of the only one that maters" Good statement for sure. What is watchforum? One of the reasons that got me investigating Mike was he would have posted on my thread by now and also while looking through the forum I seen where a lady posted some...

    Rest in Peace Bykfixer 🙏

    Has Mike's wife posted anything yet? Please send me the link if she has. I guess you all probably already know this, but I'm going to say it--in life it's best not to take for granted that people are always going to be around, but some of us especially myself have to learn the hard way.

    Rest in Peace Bykfixer 🙏

    I had my suspicions after I recently posted on here again, but didn't know for sure until now. You know, I always thought he'd be here. I used to think 50 was old back when I was a kid, but now that I'm 59 and fixing to be 60 in November--early 60s is young. It floored me to find out and I hate...

    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...

    This forum dead or dying?

    "To me, it looks like people are still afraid of getting slapped by a mod." I liked getting slapped by my mother figure--makes me feel loved 🥰. I think the reason we get all those bigfoot reports nowadays is because the hairy one hates LEDs and everyone uses them nowadays. Incans didn't...

    Cheapest Flashlights Money can buy ( There About's )

    My wife done bought me three cheap plastic ones. One is a rechargeable and has a 14500 in it. I like the strobe mode because my rooster acts like he sees a chicken hawk and hollars and growls. Another is the Dorsey $1 2aa 30 lumen and the other is an Energizer 100 lumen 2aa that is supposed to...

    The freedom rechargeable batteries give!

    Thank ye. That's some good information

    The freedom rechargeable batteries give!

    It wasn't regular energizers that I mentioned--I wouldn't normally run or trust them, but energizer "industrials" are a different critter. For normal alkalines I use rayovac, but they also leak.

    The freedom rechargeable batteries give!

    Lord willing I plan on getting some of those yall are talking about. Right now I have k-star aa and aaa's and they are doing good. Hard to get out of that conservative alkaline mentality though. I also have a couple of surefire rechargeable cr123's with a surefire charger. I like energizer...

    Coast PX22

    Another good thing about that light is it cuts on first in low. I know coast has a low opinion here, but this IS a good quality flashlight for a good price and yall need to go and grab that thing before the tariffs kick in and doubles it to $18+ IMHO.

    Mini Maglite with G4 Halogen Bulb — Any better ideas?

    I could go for a group buy. Also, I have a new magcharger bulb in the pack if someone wants it.

    Coast PX22

    Ok, I just bought another--$8.88 at Bessemer walmart before taxes. I believe the battery that comes with it lasts longer than others you can buy. I do prefer direct drive, but I think I was too hard on regulation--remember I'm a bipolar blonde lol. Regulation that stays regulated to a certain...

    Tariffs..

    Mr. Tony (maglite) might like that. I know there has been some quality lights come out of china, but they were also reasonably priced. Now there ain't no telling what something like a convoy c8 would cost. I also wonder about Ali-express if they will go under because of this. Also, I work next...

    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.
