Day 11

Continuing with the UV, the gitd body on my wife's A5 is great with the sidelight. Pop it on for a couple minutes right before bed, and it'll glow (faintly) until morning.
That's pretty cool

Day 11

Day 12




IMHO, Lumintop often does have some interesting offereing, especially the smaller light.  This GTA light uses a 14500 or regular AA battery, but what makes it interesting is how far it can throw(as compared to other regular AA without a large reflector or optics).  Truly a pocket thrower.

Yes, Lumitop does have a couple interesting offerings. 

Today’s carry for me is one of them - Nano Frog

Day 12
The Lumitop Nano Frog is a really small light depending on which tube you choose.  I tend to carry the light with the 10440 tube on the light and then have the 10180 tube with charger in my bag.  This way if the light goes dead, I can swap tubes and have a light while the other battery charges.  It is also one of the smallest lights I’ve seen with a ramping UI.  I wish it could also work with AAA, but it only works with 10440 batteries.

Great light, but the heat can be something if used for too long.

The Celtics are definitely lighting it up.

Had to use my Olight to see in the back of the pantry.  Don't mind all the hot sauce.

Day 12

Really liking the side lights on the Aurora. Perfect for low to medium light in a wide area. I had to run out to the car to grab something and it was just what the doctor ordered. It looks a lot narrower/brighter in this shot than it does to my eyes.

Rechargeable. Inline light, and a side light.
4" measure markings on one side, 10cm on another. Quite good.
I would have preferred it to be a little shorter.
The pocket clip does have any retention. It doesn't push against the frame. Doesn't even touch it.
I keep it in my small tool pouch.

Day 13





Another flashlight I owned that does have the RGB side light, made by Sofirn.  What I like about this light is the mechanical selector switch and the replaceable 18650 battery inside the tube.  It has front led, as well as a side RGB and white led array on the side of the body tube.

I think in terms of value Sofirn and Wurkkos have been pretty decent, it offers a good variety of flashlight products, and they are genuinely pretty well made.

Great light, but the heat can be something if used for too long.

The Celtics are definitely lighting it up.

yeah it heats up to near scalding temperatures within about 30 seconds on turbo lol it's not very practical at full brightness more fun on lower modes tho. my other DT8s doesn't do that so i'm guessing it's definitely those e21a emitters

The Celtics definitely lit it up last night!  :ahhh

Day 13
The HDS rotary in a glamour shot. 

This one gets used a lot around the house.  Most of the rooms in my house do not have built in lighting and rely on lamps.  For this reason there can be various dark spots, which just mean a good opportunity to use my favorite flashlight.

Day 13

I've taken a couple pictures with this light, but I figured I might as well do a basic shot. My wife's RovyVon A5. Got it in a sale bundle with the A8. My wife preferred the gitd to the red light, so this is "hers" and lives in her bag when I'm not stealing it for challenge pics.
RovyVon makes some nice keychain lights.  I think I have given away a few that have ended up becoming everyday purse or keychain carry.

That Manker bezel catches my eye because it looks like it could shred someone pretty bad.

Day 14



Princeton Tec AMP 1L 2AAA light.   Princeton Tec used to be a pretty prolific flashlight makers, not so in recent years.  I got this sometime last year, mostly for its size and its capability to fully submerge as a snorkeling light.

What strikes me as an interesting feature is them putting a bottle opener at the end of the flashlight...I just can't imagine someone so desperate for a drink right after a night swim, that they will need it right there and then.  :rofl:

Day 14

RIP to this Olight i3E EOS, which served loyally as my keychain light for around a decade. Unfortunately, a battery corroded in it, and I lost the contact spring after I disassembled it to clean in the middle of the move. While I haven't thrown it out, I don't know that it's worth buying the spring to (hopefully) fix a $10 light. It served me well for a while, but there are definitely better lights available now for only a few bucks more. If you want something cheap and keychained sized that'll just take a AAA and truck on for years, it's a solid choice.
