Screwily unscrewy

As with many small flashlights, you turn this on and off by tightening and loosening the front end. You also replace the battery by unscrewing the front end entirely. Fine so far, until I unscrewed the front end to swap the battery, and found myself looking at the electronics where I expected to see...

Great long smooth threads once again, easy to use but won't unthread in pocket. * [Sofirn Twisty AAA, originally a BLF project.

Nice compact flashlight, but hard to turn off and on

This flashlight is very small and bright, and it just takes a battery. I loved it, but I started having problems with turning it off and on. You twist the top of it to turn it on and off, but you also twist the top to remove the part where the bulb is. A lot of the times it would get stuck and I'd e...

What is a light for a child?

This light does require a separate charger and an 18650 battery. It's not an issue for me because I already have multiple 18650 cells and a good charger. If you don't have these or don't want to buy them (you could and then get a nice light for yourself too, *wink wink*), then I suggest maybe a Sofirn C01s, which takes AAAs and you just twist the head to turn it on and increase brightness.

Take a look at their website first

This light consists of two main parts: the battery tube and the head which contains the bezel, reflector, lens and led. The head is machined from one solid piece with male threads to attach to the battery tube. There is no way you can unscrew it from the battery tube and loosen the parts in the head...

A Sofirn C01S is probably the "right" option, but to answer your question:. > What do you guys use?. I use a [tint-mixed Nitecore Tip with 90CRI SST-20's at 2700k and 4000k. It's super lightweight, has a very respectable turbo (700 lumens stock, probably slightly lower now), and good low modes.

Game changer for amateur Astronomy

Finally someone makes a 660nm flashlight. Most red LED flashlights are 630nm or whereabouts, which is more of an orange-red than a true red output. Even output, no artifacts in the beam, satisfactory battery life, wonderful low mode and unbelievably bright high mode. Never will there be a "lost lens...

Another vote for the Sofirn C01S. But I am waiting for the right Rovyvon to come along that might replace it.

Fantastic brightness to size ratio. Will burn through batteries.

You can have a big bright flashlight that lasts a long time or you can have a small bright flashlight that lasts a short time. These are extremely bright for a AAA battery flashlight and last roughly 12 hours with frequent use. I could see them lasting 5 days if you're camping and only need the ligh...
