My wife has the one on the right, she really likes it as a tent lantern.

Day 26
My wife always tells me not to black light stuff when we're away from home, but I need challenge pics!



Is it because she doesn't want to know what may show under the black light?  :think:

Pelican 3370

Looks like a pretty elongated light from this angle, what battery does this use?

Day 27

Led Lenser SEO5. Came in a package deal with my Red Cross Charge AL.

It looks like there is a deeper reflector within the headlight, which I think is a pretty desirable feature, especially when hiking in open wilderness.

Nice! Does it run on alkaline cells or a rechargeable?

Three AAA batteries. It's a decent headlamp, a bunch of outputs and modes, I just wish it came with a sheath.

He'll be just like us in no time flat! :D

He's already been lured to the dark side.  Every time we go anywhere that has a sporting goods section, "Dad, look at this cool mulitool/knife/axe/machete!"  Brings a tear to my eye.  🥲

Day 27

The iMini2 lighting up the garage because the light switch is at the other end of a two opening garage.

May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

Pretty much

Day 27

I can only flashlight so much on a cruise ship, so here's the Angel Eyes posing with a souvenir. I know everyone on US money is dead, but it feels weirder on the Canadollars since the queen died more recently.

🔦 DAY 27 🔦


i passed out early last night after a long day at the beach with my wife so posting this now.

used the DT8 to check something on the water heater. the E21a emitters in 2000K are really easy on the peepers and the throwy optics cast a nice wide beam.




i like to run the green auxiliary lights on this one they are super bright and work well as a nice low moonlight mode that runs constantly. Making the light easy to find in the dark.

Day 28





This is probably a lesser known name, but with quite interesting feature that worth exploring--Lumzoo SP11 03 AAA light.  This light has some of the more aggresive knurling I would only find in older SF flashlight bodies.  And the most interesting thing is it operates exactly like a Maglite Solitaire AAA, it turns on only when you loosen the head.  The beefy body does also make it more hefty in hand.  I'd imagine if SF, Maglite and Fraz Lab all comes together and have a AAA baby, this probably what it may look like.  A robust AAA twisty light, only turns on by loosening the head.

Since I briefly had a '67, I gotta ask...what year is the Beetle? My guess is it's a '62, '63, or '64.

Had to run some errands, and the Acbeam Rider was with me.  This isn’t just a mice flashlight, but a nice fidget toy as well.  The one position can work like a button lockout and to enable the light to tailstand.

Good eye Farmer X.  It's a 64.  I don't get as much time to work on it as I'd like.  I'm going to try and do the brakes and get it running this year.



Day 28

Found one of my no names flashlights that I keep around the house.  I think these were a gift from either Walmart or Harbor Freight.  They still come in handy.

May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

Day 29




Before Prometheis acquired the 4sevens brand, it was one of my favorite flashlight makers.  I think they were one of the few makers that would offer good valued twisty light, using oridinary AA or AAA, while utilizing some of the latest led at the time. 

IIRC this toxic green Preon was either from the pre-acqusition or just shortly after, so it does retain some of the OG 47's design elements.

The Sofirn SC21 helped me locate a sock that fell between the washer and dryer.  Had to use a grabber to actually reach it.

Nice.  I discovered 47 shortly before it was acquired.  I wish I had discovered sooner

I think Maglite and Surefire are a good contrast of then and now when it comes to quality lights

Using the magnet cap to attach the light to my multitool has had no practical use this month (although a standing light is handy sometimes) but it does make me happy.

We ran out of light bulbs so I had the genius idea of trying this out.  It's not a bad idea if it works, right?  :think:

Day 30

I'll end this with the Coast HP1. I got two of this a decade ago when it was a best seller. 180 lens or so, just on and off, tailstands, and has a sliding head for beam focus. I'd like a reversible clip. I also drilled a lanyard hole on the cap. I also made a red filter for it.
It's a good flashlight. Good size, still works just fine. It was only $10 US, so a very good value for money. :cheers:

This was so much fun! Thank you to all who joined and followed along. :salute:
I enjoyed watching what other people carry. There are so many brands I had never ever heard of. All sorts of modes, sizes and colours. I am excited to see what new kodels look like. I am thinking of a flat flashlight, or one with a pivoting head. We'll see.
