LOL Loopgear SK06 mini still too long? Introducing the SK06 Nano

Thumbnail

287 Upvotes

Ever felt then the SK-06 or even the SK-06 mini was a tad too long? Well there's a solution!!

Introducing my latest mod, the SK-06 Nano edition! Powered by a 70mah LIR2032 li-ion coin battery, its now only 45cm in length and lasts maybe 3 minutes on high before needing a recharge!

Main LED, green laser and UV are all fully functional (except the sidelights as well.. they are no longer there, instead, you get glow stickers which do not drain the battery!)

Even USB charging works and even the power bank feature works for some reason

Only downside is the magnet in the tail had to be removed as it was too close to the magnetic ring and interfering with the mode selection.. I couldn't find a tailclip short enough so it'll have to go clipless for now until i can find something

Have a good one everyone~

Apples to oranges, 18650 vs 21700, but hey they’re both somewhat new to me and beans are fun. M21B is 5000k and sft42r. All shots are at 100% other than the one that shows (low) on the MT2C pro. The back yard shots show around 400-425 yards, front yard on the street is around 500 each way.

Does anyone have a review or thoughts on the V2 Sofirn IF22A? I can't find any reviews or info online and am curious if it is worth the $10 extra over the beloved original.

I got this in the mail the other day. It has more throw than most of my other lhp73b flashlights I got. The hot spot is pretty nice too. Its not to big either so it's more portable. Its nice and bright, It doesn't heat up very quick on high either. It didn't step down really. I had it on high for at least 2 min. It started to get hot so I backed it down. I really like this one.

Review Nightwatch A54 Ultra2

I just got this and have played with it some.It says 30000 lumens but I dont think it gets that many. It is a pretty nice flashlight and is small. But in being small with how many lumens this puts out it gets hot fast. So hot it's hard to hold. Its all flood but it's super bright. If you need a flashlight that is compact and for close up then this is nice for that.

Have you ever looked at your emitters in the dark using a UV flashlight?

Recommendation Flashlight for helicopter pilot

15 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a SAR helicopter pilot looking to stop getting crappy lights that stop working after a year or so of use. I read some posts by airline guys asking for recommendations and seems like the P40 and Arfeld Pro are regularly offered. Unlike an airline guy I don’t need to shoot a beam at stuff 40 feet away, I would mostly be using it to see directly inside cowlings maybe a foot away at most, a flood for night time walk around would be good too. Wouldn’t be using it in the cockpit at all, I fly under goggles so I have a great lanyard pelican green light that I love for that.

I’ve heard some of these can come with UV for spotting fluid leaks and that would be great too. Preferably USB-C, don’t want any proprietary ports, and something pretty small (cigar sized at most) would be ideal. Thanks for the help!

I have a bunch of flashlight and not a single high quality headlamp so I decided to pick one up today. I love having a warm led for up close and white when I need more light, and it uses the same battery as my PD35R so now I have a spare for either. It says it'll stay in medium (400 lumens) for 12hrs on the white and warm white channel which is so good for what I'll be using it for. Just from messing around with it for 20mins I'm already asking myself why I've been using handheld flashlights for everything when a headlamp frees up one hand. Really exited to use it some more. Here are some really shitty beamshots, the white light doesn't look nearly that green in person but I can't get it to look right on camera indoors. I'm curious do you guys use headlamps much? Or just handheld flashlights?

I researched this flashlight before pulling the trigger. Paid 160$ for the UV version in black. One of the selling point was a power bank feature which can reverse charge connected devices with the flashlight. I planned to use to charge my Garmin watch when I'm out in the nature. Well, the flashlight came and I enjoyed using it but when I plugged in my phone to charge, it didn't. I contacted the seller and he told me that apparently they removed this powebank feature from the Chinese market version. The ad didn't mention that and when I try to search I can't find anything. Can this be true ? I opened the box which was sealed and everything looked new. Is the seller lying or is there more to it ? What would you do ?

I'm super bummed about it. I really enjoyed fiddling with the Anduril 2 UI and the patina the copper was getting.

Any recs for a similar light?

Hi guys, stumbled upon an early access Arktac on eBay for 80 bucks and had to see if it was real or not. Turns out it was! Are the people that got these from olight under an NDA or something? Its a neat light. Doesn't have the laser or the UV option but I may carry it until the official release. Sorry about the crappy beans. Its very well lit where I live.

Recommendation Budget Flashlight that does it all

6 Upvotes

I’m new to the world of flashlights I own a few Amazon cheap usb-c flashlights and one O-Light that doesn’t get enough love. I’d like to find something that does it all has a decently long battery life and I prefer to keep it under 8” if possible as it will be used for work and going on walks with my gf. My budget isn’t very defined as I don’t know how much a good flashlight should run. I’d ideally like to stay under $150 if possible. I’m looking forward to seeing some decent recs thank you in advance!

Review 2 in 1. On. Off. Yesssss! (UltraFire LG20X PRO green thrower)

7 Upvotes

When it comes to the green light thing, maybe I don't get it... I'm not that big of a fan of it but that's not what I'm reviewing today. I'm reviewing the actual light and I'll tell you what: even though it comes out green, this thing is bright. It's definitely way too bright to look at in the beam for sure and I mean that pretty literally. It's made extremely well. It's very solid feeling. I love that it just has an on and an off function. Nothinelse. I am so tired of all the multiple modes that nobody uses that come on the majority of flashlights these days. I have probably 35 flashlights. Prior to them I was a Streamlight fanboy. I'm just quickly becoming disillusioned with Streamlight and UltraFire is right there to pick up the pieces for me. I probably have 5or 6 UltraFires now. I even got a green one lol, first time for everything...

Recommendation Help with EDC

5 Upvotes

I work as an on call engineer for a power utility. I do have my vehicle equipped with the usual go light for riding lines + stream light spot.

At times, I do need something more EDC. I don't really want to go down the line of Hank lights or complicated UIs because I just need a light that works, whether being called out in the night or having to troubleshoot something in a substation or POP site.

I have the oclip2 ultra right now and it's just kinda blocky / not really good for EDC.

Any suggestions on a flat light that I can carry with magnetic base and usb-c charging? I have tried the TS 10 as well but hated the complicated UI.

I don't need UV or laser pointer. Just a good in between for when I don't grab my stream light spot light or can't use my vehicles go light.
