I got an OD Green Javelot Mini Long Range EDC Flashlight today. It seems that Javelot means spear and Javelin means light spear. They're claiming a beam distance of 1,968 feet (600 meters), and 88,320 candela max. light intensity on this thing. The beam has a perfectly round bright spot that looks like it's shining through a porthole or something. Instead of being bright in the middle, and fading away from the center, it's more like a white circle on a black background. I got a good deal on it on sale, plus took off $10 with a coupon. Instead of using an 18650 battery, or the approximately half-size 18350 that some of my compact lights use, it has an 18500 battery, exactly halfway between the full length and short battery. Instead of having LEDs to indicate the remaining charge, it vibrates to let you know it's running down. I don't know if it only vibrates a short time after you turn it on, or if it keeps going. It comes with a molded plastic holster instead of a belt clip. You can clip it inside or outside of your pocket, or on a belt up to 2" wide.

Before I went up north for the 4th of July, I put my mail on hold as usual. But this time I ordered a Summer Palm i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight, a Midnight Blue i3T 2 EOS Small EDC Flashlight, and a Clip Mount for Warrior Mini 3 and Warrior Nano. I got home a couple hours before my package and the rest of my mail was delivered on the 15th or whenever it was. I put a 10440 battery in the i3T 2 EOS, so it's 300 lumens, instead of 200 with a AAA battery. The Summer Palm i3E EOS was on sale cheap, $4.95 or something like that, with a limit of one.

I have both a black and a red Warrior Nano 1200 Lumens Tactical EDC Flashlight that use the short 18350 batteries. Normally the clip only attaches toward the head of the flashlight. But they make a 99 cent plastic clip holder that snaps onto the tail end, that the clip attaches to. Now I can carry either flashlight head up or head down. The right side of the first pic is from their site, showing the clip holder. The left side is after I modified it to more resemble the Warrior Nano, instead of the Warrior Mini 3.

The second pic is the clip holder. The third pic is a Warrior Nano as it comes, stock.

The fourth and fifth pics are the Summer Palm i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight and Midnight Blue i3T 2 EOS Small EDC Flashlight. The Midnight Blue is darker than it looks in the pic.
