fire and light
Today’s blog topic will follow somewhat in the same vein as yesterday’s talk about small but useful survival tools. I suggested a particular use for the Fenix whistle that might be more applicable in an urban setting. The tool for today might be more useful away from an urban setting but has enough features to...
600 lumens? That’s cool.
Could you guess by the preview image that it’s a Streamlight? Since I visit our homepage daily I usually become desensitized to what’s flashing across that big, rotating banner in the middle. Today the Streamlight I know has been up there for quite a while finally got to me. FINE! I’ll talk about it. With...
300 lumens – 4.18oz – $99.99
If you’re looking to do some night blasting on a budget then it’s difficult to argue that the Streamlight TLR-1s weapon light isn’t a top contender. The three characteristics listed in the blog title sum it up nicely and make it quite an obvious choice. Say hello to the business end. Hope it didn’t scare you...
LED WristLight
A what light? WristLight? Are we reading that right? You certainly are. Perhaps it’s something you’ve imagined in the past and aren’t surprised it was Surefire than went for it and released one. Then again maybe you’re just shaking your head. Either way, it’s worth knowing about so you can argue about it on the...
Fenix PD32 UE
Hitting the trifecta today after Tuesday’s post featured a sweet Hazard 4 bag and yesterday’s blog was about a unique knife from CRKT. Ideally, every bag or pack you carry would be equipped with a knife and flashlight. Sure you can move the same pair from bag to pack and vice versa but wouldn’t it...
the Coast is clear
The coast is clear for savings thanks to a select few Coast flashlight closeouts on the horizon. At the time of this post (written in advance) I’m thinking they should be in stock. Like most flashlight brands, models come and go, get updated or deleted and Coast is doing some cleanup. I’ve been advised that...
Ultra – going beyond others or beyond due limit
Was failing on coming up with a clever title for this post but the definition of Ultra makes for an excellent alternative. I especially like the second part “beyond due limit.” The brand in question today is Surefire and if you know anything about them you’re well aware of the fact that going beyond others...
EB1 – 1 big head
Had a short list of potential topics going to keep on the back burner in case I hit a road block during one of my morning blog sessions. I wouldn’t say they jumped the gun but our web store gurus decided to unleash the news so I’ll play along and bring one of my back burner topics...
max 860 lumens
Not only did I get sucked back into our Fenix Flashlight page but I was finally lured by the max lumen output of one of their updated lights. I was hoping you could be proud that I hadn’t mentioned the brand in a while but now this. In any case, if you’ve got a strong hand and...
Batteries included
Batteries included is not terribly uncommon when purchasing a flashlight. I never expect it, always look for it and am pleasantly surprised when the light I’m purchasing comes with batteries whether it be a standard thing or a special promotion. In regards to today’s flashlight brand, it seems to be standard procedure. Can you read the brand name?...
The choice is yours
The choice is yours. The brand, Surefire. That’s right, I chose the flashlight brand for you this time. I’ve devoted an unfair amount of love to the Fenix brand lately under the assumption that they’re still lesser known. People know Surefire and despite some folks complaining about their prices, the name alone sells itself. So what choice do...
Light and exquisite
Exquisite isn’t a word I see very often but I immediately think of diamonds when I hear it. Too bad I have zero affinity for diamonds or precious stones. The product this description was chosen for came from the manufacturer. That should better explain the reason this fine, rarely-used word might be used to describe...
