    Battery Drain Question

    Hello everyone. I have a newbie question. My Elzetta, Malkoff Devices and Surefire 16650, 18650, and 21700 lights all have mechanical rear click switches. They all have Orbtronic cells in them. Is it ok to store the lights with the tailcap tight? Should the tailcap be loose so there is no...

    Bought My First Elzetta

    No bones about it. The Bones is no doubt "bare bones". I used it for the first time on a 30 minute night walk. I brought along a Surefire G2x Pro and G2x Maxvision for comparrison. My beam shots were blury, doh. The Bones is not better or worse, simply different. As I am not using the light as a...

    I Bought My First Malkoff

    Yes, I like that feature. I wish it had a medium mode. No big deal though, the Surefire Maxvision is great for walking at night.

    I Bought My First Malkoff

    Hello everyone. I recently bought Surefire lights, I love the Maxvision beam. My new Malkoff arrived today. A Wildcat 21700 in 4000k neutral white. To quote Chris Farley, "holy schnikies". I took the light for a night walk. It is too bright for that task. It is a big ball of light. I had to...

    Malkoff Vs. Convoy (newbie question)

    Hello everyone. I have some newbie questions. I notice a Malkoff Wildcat costs $250. Why? You can buy ten Convoy lights for that. Why do Malkoff and Surefire cost more than Convoy and Sofirn? What are you paying for?

    Help Understanding LED Lingo (beginner question)

    Ok, lets type about basic beginner LED information. There are many brands and then models within those brands. From what I can tell, in the flashlight world, Cree seems to be the benchmark. I notice Malkoff uses Cree and many Chinese lights do not. I notice if you look at a Convoy brand light...

    Battery Storage Case Question

    Hello everyone. I am looking for an all in one battery storage solution. I did this for my rechargeable aaa, aa, and d cells. I am looking for a similar options for rechargeable cr123, 16650, 18650, and 21700. Does a case like this exist?

    How Relieable Are Budget Lights?

    Thank you all for the help. That is what I thought. If you want a hobby, want to mod, buy a Convoy or Sofran. If you just want a light as a tool that works, buy a SureFire. I am not interested in chasing lumins, beam shots, the newest light. I found Surefire Maxvision, and it meets my needs...

    How Relieable Are Budget Lights?

    Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. It also answers my questions. Do it all edc. Farm chores, evening walks, fast top up to make my watch glow. Look in the tool box, check the animal feed. An edc do it all work light. I really like my Surefire G2x Maxvision and Stiletto.

    How Relieable Are Budget Lights?

    Hello everyone. I have a newbie question. How relieable are budget lights for EDC use? I must be honest, I am concerned about quality, quality control, long term durability, etc. I have never heard of Convoy, Sofirn, some W brand. Do they flicker? If you shake them does the light cut out? Are...

    Thrift Store Find

    I went to town today to drop off donations to the local thrift shop. In the sorting area was a plasrtic bag of flashlights. I asked the lady about them. She said they had to go to the recycler. They do not take electronics or batteries. I asked her if I could have them. She told me to just take...

    I like the orange and yellow/green lights.

    I Invested In Myself

    The new tools arrived. I live on a small rural farm. There are no street lights. You can go for a 30 minute walk and never see a car. I wanted to invest in myself. Purchase quality once and be done with it. The purpose for this variety of lights is EDC. The ability to have choice. We have all...
