Maglite, Surefire, Fenix and Other Flashlights

[_Cathy_]

Maglite isn't as good as it was in the 80s or 90s. My first Solitaire was in the 90s and used it as my car key chain. I got a another one in 2014 (or 2015), wala pang 1 year sira na. I have a bigger maglite na wala pang 1 yr sira na rin

i saw some maglites in true value. i did not notice if they had solitaires.

Saw it on sale at True Value about two or so years ago. Good thing I didn't buy because Maglite isn't good anymore.

kung tibay ang habol eh ito talaga. Ang usap-usapan sa candlepowersforum eh kung meron na kayo naexperience na nasira e01 sa loob ng 10years. Ganyan kalupet ang durability. Pero hindi maganda kulay ng ilaw kasi violet eh. Ang alternative yung e05 kasi may hint ng dilaw color pero durability hindi pa sure kung kalevel ng e01.

Kung isa lang bibilhin eh dito na pinas nasa 780 yan. Pero kung madami bibilhin lets say tatlo pataas eh sa america na kasi sa fenix store meron pa 20% discount for first time buyer. 11dollars each -20% pa.


pag e01 eh "throwy"/makitid ang buga ng ilaw. Maganda pang malapitan lang like sa loob ng kotse or kwarto.

Sa e05 eh "floody"/malawak. Ito Lagi ko gamit ngayon. Ang liit pero lakas. Abot ilaw kahit matataas na puno.




Ito pala. Pag bibili kayo keychain flashlight yung may color kasi pag black pag namisplace ang hirap hanapin. Pag orange or violet kita agad.

merong led flashlight sa daiso. uses three AAA batteries.
maliwanag naman.
at kung ma-sira, you can buy another one.
sa 88 pesos each, you can buy 7 of them with 628 bucks.

my experience with small flashlights, is that their weakness is the switch.
but with these daiso-sourced units, after over a year of use, the switches are still ok.

while old-technology leds are kind of weak, today's new-tech leds are bright, even as they are still cheap.

I bought some of this for Xmas gift, a China ripoff of Cree / Bell& Howell Taclight. Yan yung pineke na ang Cree ng B&H, pineke pa ng China..haha

At P190/pc, then some 18650 LiOn battery upgrade worth P30 to scrap the 3xAAA and a P45 smart charger, that's dirt cheap.

The one with orange button is my o'l reliable orig Cree been for me for years na.

saan mo nabili dito yan? Nakita ko sa aliexpress yan ganyan kamura smart charger.

[12vdc]

Sa 999 mall. Basic charger with reverse polarity.

I jst can't find a proper charger with discharge and internal resistance meter function, it a must for 18650 diyer's and Tesla power wall builders.

[kagalingan]

lahat yan sa picture mo meron sa 999?

Ito ganito klase charger meron kaya ito discharge / internal resistance?



Nakita ko yan sa aliexpress. Tapos meron din gearbest at banggood.

Yan next bibilhin ko kasi meron 300mah charging current rate para sa eneloop/fujitsu ko para mas tumagal buhay. And may parating pa ako 14500 battery pa so tamang-tama, madami klase battery pwede irecharge.

[12vdc]

Yup, lahat yan sa 999. Bought by bulk as gift item para useful.

I got the older eneloop digital charger that does only charging. Now that i'm having interest in 18650s as i've plenty of laptap & cordless power tools batts, I just ordered 4pcs w/out adapter of that Lii-500 online and waiting confirmation. This guy says its the best

[oj88]

I use the MH-C9000 charger for Ni-MH batteries. For Li-based batteries, I have a Nitecore i4 (2016).

I use this now. No special charger needed, just plug to any powered usb. I can charge it almost anywhere, even from the car's hu. It is also small so very handy. It's cheap costing only p150 at 168 mall. Throw away pag nasira.

A caucasian stress-testing a popular china light brand. Cost of the light is around 350pesos




Paging doc d, yung binili mo sa daiso for 88pesos hindi magagawa yan. Malayo na narating ng china kaya bumili ng quality.

that's nice.
so what flashlight do you have, kags?

but for 350 bucks, i can buy four 88 peso flashlights... so that, in the unlikely event that the same unfortunate incident happens more than once, i still have a spare.
who would be stupid enough to intentionally do that four times ?

unless the work environment is a punishing one, i see no reason why i would want to spend four times the money, for a flashlight.
to be cost-effective, we must choose the right tool for the job.

my nephew is a seaman.
"ninong, i destroyed three ordinary seikos the other year. the g-shock i have on now, is about to celebrate its 1st birthday on my wrist."
heh heh.

it's like the battle tanks in WWII.
the vaunted german tanks were wonderful technological marvels, designed to last for years... built in relatively small-ish numbers, at a time when the life expectancy of tanks was measured in weeks to months.
the american shermans were, in contrast, cheaper mass-produced models, manufactured in huge numbers.
conflict archaeologists theorize that had the germans chosen to manufacture cheaper, pedestrian-type tanks in far larger numbers, the course of the war may not have been what it was.

kapish?
