every time I took it out of my pocket, I had to fumble to find the side switch ....little frustration.
Hey I need a flashlight I can go camping with it needs to be a fairly powerfull beam light, any recommendations on wurkkos? or any other place that might have great flashlight
I think I have my first edc light narrowed down to these two. What one would you guys recommend? Hopefully there is nothing I’m missing better for around the hundred dollar mark
I bought a flashlight from Killzone, Aliexpress, and one direct from Wurkkos. I received an email today from some random phone number saying they are a professional flashlight factory and have a new one on sale and I can get one for free…
Seemed odd and not likely Killzone. Any idea what this is?
I was unboxing this and getting set up, and managed to unscrew the lens cap instead of the battery compartment.
The ridged, 'Fresnel' lens fell out, and I don't know how it's supposed to be oriented when reinserted.
Ridges facing out, or ridges facing in (closer to the led)?
I ordered a DW4 tint ramping headlamp from Hank with the floody optic as the title says, with 2700k dedomed and 5700k domed for that sweet 2200-5700k ramp. Will these mix well with the floody optic, or will I still get a weird beam? I've been reading with the standard optic it might not be best to mix the two, but can't find any info on the floody optic and this combo.
I’m a bus diver in a major violent city. My employer won’t let me carry a handgun. I need a edc flashlight that won’t wear a hole on my pocket from a bezel, has quick stobe feature, will be 100% dependable, and not break the bank. Thanks!
Considering keeping one selling other if they're the same
Can someone give me some tips and tricks for the Sofirn SP36 Pro? I'm a brand new Sofirn user, and I'd like to know all of the lights controls (in a simpler way than the flowchart, lol), so I figured r/flashlight was a good place to ask!
Sort of an urgent one, so fast shipping is nescassary.
in terms of low budget (sub £40 if possible). Would it be possible to obtain a headtorch of around 4/500 lumens (obviously more is better) that also has long battery life.
18650s would be the cherry on top
Any advice appreciated :)
I made an EDC wallet that fit my Foursevens Preon 1 (first-gen) light, Gerber dime, and a small pen. I lost the flashlight. The Preon 1 turned on by turning the bezel. Does anyone know of a replacement light that is close to the same size and has no push button?
Hi Everyone:
Harbor Freight is having a 50% off today only on all Apache cases. I just purchased the $60 large Apache case for $30 plus tax. Don’t forget to bring the printed coupon ( see today’s deals on the website).
I can't seem to figure out how to access the bulb in this flashlight and would love some advice! Also would love to know how to determine what kind of bulb to purchase. Thank you! This is the flashlight, Energizer Hard Case Work, model TUF2D1: https://www.opticsplanet.com/energizer-tuf2d1-hard-case-xenon-flash-light.html
Looking for a quality edc light that takes AA
edited: hi can someone help me find a dimmable flashlight?! i need really low light. thx in advance!
compact, battery operated, budget $50ish, ideally medium floody/tight beam
i’m working with light sensitive paper so i need the light dim enough so that i can control the exposure
thanks!!
Looking for long runtime (3+ hours) on medium, which I'd love to be over 500lm. The high and turbo lumen count isn't that important to me.
I'm hoping to spend $30-50
I’m looking to buy x2 Skilhunt H200 minis. I can’t seem to get that particular model on the Chinese sites unless I’ve missed one (for example Aliexpress). I think the only way to get one is on The Skilhunt website. Did delivery to UK go okay? How long did it take? Did you need to pay import fees?
I have a trip in about 5-6 weeks and wondering if it will just be problematic.
First time posting here, please be gentle. I tried posting on slickdeals but it was auto-removed because the seller has 190 lifetime ratings and not 250 like the mods require.
It took me a long time to write up the post and I didn't want it to go to waste, I'm still frustrated I spent all that time for nothing trying to make it all pretty, lol.
Anyway, it's normally $59.99 but I noticed today there's a 25% off coupon to click, and then there's a 15% promo code (15SFIF23) on top of that to use at check out.
Comes out to be $33.59 before tax (almost 50% off). Better than direct from Sofirn's own website and quicker too, especially with prime.
