More flashlights and stuff

[Big Frank]

I got my little bitty holster and my free 18th Anniversary Edition i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight. The S1R Baton II and Baton 4 are each 2.48" long, and .83" diameter. Each holster fits 3/4 of one of my fingers. If I had a few more I could sew them onto a fingerless glove to make a whole glove out of it.   The D rings on the holsters allow me to use biners to attach them to the straps on my backpack and lots of other places. Plus the belt loop looks like it's 1 7/8" so it will fit most belts. I could even slide one down to the bottom of a rifle sling and barely notice it, until I need it.

I just placed an order with Olight and they automatically deducted the $3.64 in rewards I earned. I had 2 $5 coupons that expire in 5 days. I may have earned them when you two guys placed your orders through the link I provided. Or it's because I ordered 2 trial products. I can only use one coupon at a time, and I don't think Ill be ordering again within 5 days. It says I can re-gift it to a friend, so if anyone wants it, PM me. Also, I just made Yellow Diamond status, so I get early access to some things, and a free gift for my birthday. They're sending me a challenge coin with my order, too.

Nice.
I'm still looking at one of those 2500 lumen ones yo posted farther up the thread. I think they're around $90....which is not bad for that much power in so small a package.

I used that $5 coupon to order another half price trial product today. I checked here to see if I had any messages first. If I did, I would have still given that coupon away. My Baton 3 Pro Max 2500 Lumens Powerful EDC Flashlight is heavy because it's solid brass, but the aluminum models are only 5.22 ounces, and the Desert Tan magnesium one they used to have was even lighter. The list price of the Baton 3 Pro Max is $89.99, but they should go on sale again for 30% off if you wait. I checked at least one of my flashlights that takes 21700 batteries to see if it would work with 18650 battery adaptor I have. It worked, or they worked. I think I have 4 flashlights now that take 21700s. I have an 18650 battery in the adaptor right now, in a Thyrm Cell Vault clipped to the back of my backpack. I can use the same battery in an 18650 or 21700 flashlight and don't need to carry 2 different batteries.

Olight sent me 2 emails today. I was surprised to see one of the reviews for the Oclip Pro they put part of in the email was mine. The other email showed the guy on a bike which is a good use for the Oclip. Right now I have a Nie Ize Radiant Rechargeable LED Glow Stick - Disc-O Select on the back of my backpack. With the ability to choose from color-changing Disc-O mode, three colors (red, green, and blue), or flashing red, this rechargeable glow stick is versatile and fully waterproof. I just saw the video for the first time, and a guy on a bike put one on his back pack, flashing red.

After 3 weeks of using my i3T2,I really have only one complaint, When I have it in my left front jeans pocket it sometimes turns itself on when I sit down. My previous edc light had the power button recessed so it never happened. I think I've gone through 6 AAA batteries since I started carrying it. Other than that, it's a great little powerful light.

I was sitting in Bible study class a few Sundays ago and thought something was stinging my leg...I felt down where it was and it was the OClip in my cargo pocket. It has a flush button and i think i turned it on when I put it in my pocket. It got hot over what must've been maybe 15 minutes.

I haven't carried either of those lights enough to experience those problems. I usually carry bigger light, either in a holster or clipped in my pocket. I have the Baton Turbo in the front pocket of my shorts now, and an Arkfeld Ultra in a belt holster on my jeans. I also have a multi-tool and tactical pen in the holster. The multi-tool is the main reason for the holster, but having all 3 things in it is nice. I also have a small multi-tool with scissors dangling from a hook on the holster that looks like it was made to hold a key ring.

Thankfully, I found my Oclip Pro today. I got my Mechanix Wear bag full of stuff out of the car to look for stuff, and put it back a few times. When I went to put it back the first time, my Oclip was just lying there. I don't know if I set it on the bag or dropped it on the floor or what happened. The important thing is I found it. Now I can clip it to my jacket pocket or my shirt, instead of having the Perun 2 Mini strapped to my head all night. Although I will be using that too, occasionally.

BTW, Perun is a real word, like Baldr or Sigurd, not just something they made up. In Slavic mythology, Perun is the highest god of the pantheon and the god of sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, law, war, fertility and oak trees. His other attributes were fire, mountains, wind, iris, eagle, firmament (in Indo-European languages, this was joined with the notion of the sky of stone, horses and carts, and weapons (hammer, axe (Axe of Perun), and arrow). The supreme god in the Kievan Rus' during the 9th-10th centuries, Perun was first associated with weapons made of stone and later with those of metal.

I finally took the AA flashlight with a high power lithium battery (page 6 of this thread) off the wall by the kitchen door, and put it above the basement light switch. You have to open the basement door and reach in 15" past the door jamb, and down below waist height, to 32" high to hit the switch. All the fumbling around for a switch that's over a foot from where it should be, keeps the wall dirty. At least now, I can grope around at waist height to find the flashlight and run my hand down it to the switch. It's a lot easier to find now. And when the kitchen light is on, the black bracket and flashlight are super easy to see. I left a little room between the bracket and switch plate so It doesn't interfere with removing it if I have to.

The main reason for moving that flashlight was so I could stick an L stand on the wall and hang my limited edition 3,000 lumen Seeker 2 from it. It's supposed to shine 220 meters, 722 feet, and my back yard is probably 15 1/4 meters, 50 feet, I can't remember. It's 3 LEDs and 12,100 candela sure light things up. I put the top of the L stand where the top of the old plastic bracket was, and covered one of the screw holes with it. The flashlight is in front of the other hole. I may or may not spackle it at some point. Because of the size of the flashlight and thickness of the pocket clip, it sets in place better with the button against the wall and the clip facing out. Otherwise, it's hanging right out to where the end of the L stand curves down to keep it from having a flat edge perpendicular to the wall. The 21700 battery allows it to run on Low, 50 Lumens, for 72 Hours. that's 8 hours per night for 9 days, and still has a 29 meter, 95 foot, throw.

When the basement wall flashlight bites the dust, I'll probablt put another L stand there and hang my 1,750 lumen Warrior Mini 2 from it.
