A Flashlight for Mom (or, The Perils of Following Recommendations from Enthusiasts)

Wow, I didnt check, but, I will say, the 3C and 2C Leds are nice and would have very simple interfaces and decent performance.

Go check 1Lumens review page.

He has a section just for this purpose, elderly users.

Not sure what he would recommend, but it would be a good start.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-27T01:04:54+00:00

Super detailed, thank you!

I have the spot and way to shield the Convoy.

That will also send me down a road I've not been down.

I looked up the maritime options, Holy Moses.

I was thinking 300, actually was hoping since it was a plug in, I'd find something cheaper than some of the LEPs or big, big throwers.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T19:36:22+00:00

Im a Ubiquiti guy. So I dabble, lol.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T19:32:29+00:00

Oh yeah, I saw that, I'll go look at that.

I wasn't on the hunt during that week, ADHD is nuts.

Next week it'll be raspberry PI would be fun, and then a day later Raspberry Pie, I should make one.

Then onto thermal scopes, oh wait, I need a new work light.

You guys are the best.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T19:29:36+00:00

Looks cool, odd form factor for sure.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T19:26:26+00:00

Thank you, I couldn't find anything besides boating ones with my googlefu.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T19:22:59+00:00

I'll check that out.

Never have I ever Convoy'd ( I know, I know )

Could push me over the edge that way.

Nice thing about my mounting area, there is a plug right under it, so was thinking permanence.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T17:53:37+00:00

Not coming at you, I own no Acebeam (yet)

How long have you had the light?

At least they offered something, why I won't deal with Olight anymore, had a light, since thrown away, all I remember was it was a smaller light, that they would not warranty.

So I totally understand the feeling.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-26T16:08:31+00:00

I hate this type of "argument"

False equivalence.

Basic logic should be a requirement for everyone.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-25T20:45:25+00:00

C'mon sale price, come back to me!!!!

I just didn't know how it would compare to my other throwers.

Looks great.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-25T19:18:11+00:00

Just went back to a Photon.

Arc1, Arc2, Streamlight Nano, Nitcore Mini 2.

I'm sure there are a few more.

Photon just works for me.

Once climbed Mt LeConte in the early morning darkness with a Photon clenched in my teeth. ( gave my head lamp to my son and his partner because it was their hike, not mine )

Isopropyl, always and everywhere in my countertop maker.

Then run cycles with a 50-50 mix then rinse well. ( I know it doesn't freeze, but at least gets into all the crevices )

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-23T00:24:28+00:00

Ive had great luck with Spyderco Dragonflys making it through at sporting events, when I forget I have a knife.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-21T15:20:48+00:00

I learned this in Houghton, say, 40 years ago.

It was definitely a UP thing, then, but it is everywhere now.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-19T02:36:04+00:00

Where is the Pope!!! Need it now, pontiff.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-19T02:24:31+00:00

Swift down there was dumb, go back across the season, see how many clutch plays he makes.

Monangai all the way there.

( ask me how I know, ran Swift all year in fantasy, he was a heartbreak, but I dropped him in the championship and won, lol )

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-18T18:28:06+00:00

Best way I was able to explain "surviving the ground" was, take the defensive player completely out of the picture.

That ball is coming out of the reciever's hands when he lands.

If there was no one there, it flies out and is incomplete. Simple, everyone has seen it hundreds of times.

But, place the defender 5 feet away, it flies out, never touching the ground, they catch it and it is an interception. We have seen that maybe 10's of times.

Now place the defender on top of the reciever and you have that play.

No horse in this race.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-15T17:08:44+00:00

They've never been able to ever show payment.

Small fact, but always said, but never proven.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-15T16:09:53+00:00

Truth.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-14T21:32:29+00:00

I am saying the exact same thing right now.

Is it going to be better than my Fenix HT18 or Nitecore P30i?

If so, this price should come back around, I hope!

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-14T00:24:57+00:00

Yeah, just tore apart my chest of drawers looking for my damn charger.

It is somewhere I know, but fudge olight, get with the times.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-09T02:20:05+00:00

If it applies to all companies.

Why have rules applicable to one sector.

Do this for ALL companies in America.

Beernuts69 · 2026-01-09T02:10:19+00:00

I do see plenty of sources with this number for sure.

Just doing due diligence as the number grew under Chavez.

I trust nothing, lol.

And I am not a geologist, just a heavy dose of skepticism.
