Streamlight Stylus Pro found at work with USB C charge port. Went through an industrial washer and dryer and still kickin. Was super surprised to see a USB C charge on it! Score. Idk if it had this much wear from whoever lost it or if the washer and dryer expedited that. Looks kinda cool though.

What are going to be good flashlights for in house use if the power goes out for an extended period of time? I'm trying to prepare in case theres an extended blackout emergency

I am pretty excited. I just finished charging it and it’s ready to go test, it’s only 4 o’clock so now I have to sit here and stare at it for a couple hours. Maybe a few hours, I want it to be as dark as can be.

I will have the:
T29 SFT-42R 6500K
L19 2.0 OSRAM KP CSLPM1.F1 Green
P20** mini **Luminus SFT-60-W 6500K
Wurkkos Luminus SBT90.2 5700K

i’ll try to get a good beam comparison, I don’t live in an area where I have that much freedom but I’ll see what I can put together

FW3S is probably the most beautiful light in my collection. When I need a quick light (most of the time it is fixing something), flipmate is the first one I grab. It has incredible strong magnet and very flexible, durable hinge.

Many people are probably wondering the same thing I am: how exactly does their business work nowadays, when even some of the cheapest flashlights you can find in a store are “just as good”?

From what I understand, their reputation came from the fact that they were/are basically the G-Shock of the watch world — extremely durable and built to last. They also sell spare parts and accessories for their flashlights, which is a big plus.

Another major contradiction is that many of their flashlights are only IPX4-rated, which doesn’t look particularly impressive on paper when other brands offer flashlights that can actually be fully submerged in water.

I’m not from the US, so I’m wondering: are Maglites still sold in regular, well-stocked stores, or have they basically become an online-only brand?

It’s a really contradictory brand, but apparently the business model still works, because they’re still selling flashlights.

As soon as I saw it for sale I ordered this 6800mAh beast from Vapcell, currently testting it's capacity so will post back with result.

It seems IF23 is completely replaced by IF23 Pro which I dislike because of rotary button, missed a chance to buy another one as reserve so will have to take extra care of it ❤️

A 15-year-old in British Columbia built a flashlight powered entirely by the temperature difference between a human palm and the surrounding air — four Peltier tiles around a hollow aluminum tube generated enough electricity to keep an LED lit for more than 20 minutes while she held it. - ScienceBlog.com

So this is cool as heck

Just bought the Ti stonewashed head for my patina'd copper Dawn

I managed to record the sound. Now the flashlight no longer works. I contacted support.

I haven't been this impressed by a light for some time and there is a lack of photos of this light on the internet. It weighs 414g and I removed the clip, which makes it feel much better in hand. This is the 519A version.

The silver plating should wear eventually and it will develop a nice patina.

I’ve been trying to understand the appeal of extreme “rosy” tints. And I’m partial to slightly negative DUV.

But the extreme rosy beamshots I see just scream magenta shift to my color grading eyes.

Anyone else in photography and color grading that can weigh in on this?

It comes with a "super bright" LED built in.

Interesting but how many lumens really? :)

Makes me think a bit of my Garmin Instinct watch with built in LED. It's not super bright and eats through the tiny battery but man I use it a lot!

so i just got my fwaa and i noticed there's a gap on the head, any suggestions?

Clone G2X Pro?

Purchased a G2X Pro on eBay.
Asked the seller if it’s authentic. Response was yes.
I compared to my genuine G2X Pro. Differences in weight, bezel, and light color. Also the chip inside the light body is different. This is a model that has 600 lumens laser etched. Versus my genuine 600 lumen does not. Mine may be an older style. Also, the tail cap clicks feel different. For those that have a G2X pro with a laser etched marking, can you look into the light body and tell me if chip board looks like mine?

Pic 2. Genuine.
Pic 3. Clone? Note the markings.
Pic 4. Note the sticker is really weird. I have a dozen Surefires. Never had a sticker misprint.

I usually buy at a store. Bought this on eBay for $60.

Hello,

I'm in search of a flashlight that will be comfortable to carry around in a pocket, ideally being both throwy and floody, with a decent amount of lumens and runtime and with replaceable batteries. The Loopgear SK05 PRO 2 UV seems to match this profile along with extra features like the UV light and the power bank function, but I was wondering if there were perhaps any better options that the community would have in mind. My budget is about 100€ though if a flashlight is a little more expensive but worth it I'd go the extra mile. Any and all feedback is appreciated as I don't have much experience and this will technically be my first flashlight. Thanks in advance!
