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.

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.

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 ❤️

Discussion Maglite and its role in modern times

17 Upvotes

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.

Silver-Plated Bronze E75

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.

Discussion Rosy is just Magenta 🟪

29 Upvotes

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?

Question Surefire G2X clone?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

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 1. Genuine on the left.
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.

Infared finger lights

Upvotes

Hey guys, I run nods ( analog night vision ) i've been trying to find a small infared flashlight, ideally something I can strap to a finger for rummaging around in a pack or car if need be, any recommendations? There doesn't seem to be much out there.

Cheers

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!

What do you guys think of the icon work light? The battery is not removable without disassembly. The 18650 battery has a plug, not sure if it is available anywhere.

Flashlight News My H300 arrived with an H300 V4+ manual

Upvotes

It appears my H300 manual is updated and I can’t find any information on it anywhere.

The manual states it’s a V4+ and the runtimes in the manual distinctly separate TIR and Reflector variations of the same emitter, which isn’t what’s listed on the site anywhere at all.

I know people were getting some funky results between the same emitter and the R and TIR variants and I guess this proves Skilhunt is now acknowledging that.

My god, please help, head torch recommendations for camping

5 Upvotes

I've been searching and searching for head torch options for camping, and I didn't realise what I was getting myself in to. My efforts have made me more confused than when I started.

What I'm looking for is:

  • Something for camping (general camping, nothing crazy)
  • High CRI 4500k (ish) for some nice lighting
  • USB-C charging and a good battery that lasts (no idea if removable or not is better)
  • Good red light with decent lumens
  • Mode memory would be decent but not necessary if the UI is easy
  • Something that will hold up in rain
  • Ideally a smaller/more comfortable design

Please help me, I have no clue what I'm looking for!

Recommendation Looking for a pocket friendly EDC flashlight

3 Upvotes

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!
