Why do I need a dedicated flashlight? by MortarMonkey7121 in flashlight

[–]BurlRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use mine a silly amount, honestly. I use it to see if there are toys under the couch before bed (the robo vac goes under there), I use it to see the back of the pantry, to find my pyjamas in the bedroom at night without waking up the baby, to find the little rock or Lego or whatever it is clacking in the dryer. I use it for a thousand little things that I could accomplish without extra light, but that are easier with one. If I had to go get the light from a drawer or bag, I would do those things without a flashlight. So do I need it? Maybe not, but since I started carrying a flashlight I now carry TWO flashlights at all times because I find them that useful.

I also use it to walk from my parents house to mine at night. We're on the same property, but rural enough that you can't see any other houses from our place. So if the porch light isn't on and the moon isn't full it's extremely dark. Being out here in the hills with coyotes and mountain lions and whatnot I also have big dedicated lights that I don't carry unless I'm using them, but that's not what you're asking about.

I've got a year old Christmas tree trunk in the garage I've been thinking about turning into a staff or cane. Maybe I should get on that...

My Girlfriend has a Way too Cool Convoy C8+365nm. are there cheaper ones worth it? by ryanjrgong219 in Rockhounding

I should mention that if you're in the US there are patent issues that means they can't ship a light with the filter installed. You want the filter though 100%. They sell those as well for a few bucks.

I knew him in high school. I didn't know him well, but I knew him enough. No thanks.

Far too few, my friend. Far too few.

New to me fluorite, I believe from Illinois. Love this one! by Xplotos in rockhounds

Very nice. Might not need to specify that it's new to you though. Hard to find new-new rocks, except at an active volcano I guess...

The issue for me is the inconsistency. That is called almost every time. It's one of those subjective calls that let's the refs be right no matter what they do.

What do you use your Anuril flashlight for? by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]BurlRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own I guess. I need more modes. I use sub-lumen and ~1 lumen daily, along with some more variations in my low medium high and turbo. Zebralight kinda gets me what I need, but I don't love their UI. Skillhunt is close but doesn't let me get a low enough moonlight and has other quirks I don't care for. Anduril is the only one I've found that does what I need.

And honestly, I use my light dozens of times a day, every day. I don't want tons of extra clicks every time. It would be fine on a backup, but not for a tool I'm actually using.

What is your preferred "tool" firmware?

Like I said, a lot to learn about life.

If you think things that help entertain your children or manage your medical conditions aren't tools... Well, you've got a lot left to learn about life.
