Flashlight badge request
on: October 10, 2020, 05:22:04 AM
Depending on what I’m doing and where I’m going here’s what I carry

Everyday - keychain with nitecore tiki



Main edc in my pocket or bag with lumintop AAA flashlight



Going bush, then all goes up a notch with nitecore P12 and either LM juice or SAK huntsman or hiker in my pocket



And then there’s the knog bilby headlamp that also comes with me

Thanks Sos24, the headlamp is the best I’ve owned, rechargeable with loads of features and can run for something like 6 hours at full beam, red light, reading light, spot, wide beam etc.

Knog are based in Melbourne (I’m in Sydney) so nice to support an Aussie company

:cheers:

That does sound like a really nice headlamp. 

I can appreciate wanting to support an Aussie company, I like to support US (especially small) companies/businesses.

Welcome to MTo ;)

I like that headlamp. I've been thinking about getting one for stargazing (because of the red light).
Knog makes the best bicycle bell as well (the Oi).
You should seriously visit vicfan.com. All the hoopy froods are doing it.

Congrats on the badge, and thank you for introducing the Knog, that headlamp is really unique and seems to be a good work lamp as well. :tu:

Thanks RP. It’s a Bomber and Co B2 mini survival knife bought through Kickstarter. It was their first project a few years back, their third or fourth is live on KS now, mini utility knife. The B2 is very good, I bought 3 :cheers:

The Tiki is an awesome little light isn't it?

:iagree: yes it is Gareth very powerful and versatile for its size.

I’ve long been a fan of the tube as best brightness to weight ratio for the keychain and had just bought a couple more as well as a MecArmy X2S, which is cool but frankly not as good as the tiki, before coming across it - wish I’d saved my money :cheers:

Exactly.  I went from a Tube to a TIP to the TIKI.  Both the older designs are very good but I can't see why I'd ever carry them again (from a practical point of view) now that I have the TIKI.

I’ve got a Tip too, great item but found too big for keychain. Tiki definitely best, really appreciate the extra functions

Hello everybody! I believe that a headlamp is not a very necessary thing for many activities. I knew it for sure when I broke my arm. Once when we were going on a hike with a friend, we got lost and I tried to go and look at the map at the same time to understand where we are and my headlamp turned off. I rolled down the cliff because I didn't see him in the dark. I think that having a head lamp every tourist puts himself in danger. For the next trip I prepared and for my own safety on the advice of my father I ordered led flashlight which has an incredibly good performance will never let me down in such a situation.

Hi avawalkerecp, I use the headlamp for bush walking and various tasks in the yard at night etc, I also carry a flashlight on my keychain.
I’m not sure I understand why you think a headlamp is more (or less) likely to switch off than any other light? Surely it depends on many variables, the knogg for example is very high quality and hasn’t let me down although admittedly I’ve only had a short while

I ended up buying a Knog Bandicoot, after seeing this thread.  I’m liking it a lot.  It is lightweight and comfortable.
