3.47k!

I love lights in general since visiting Blackpool and Vegas as a kid, I've recently gotten into flashlights as they've gone from 600 lumens to 60,000 lumens! It's hard to explain but when you turn night into day or create a lightning storm it makes you feel powerful!

The latest light I've reviewed will blow the mind of anyone you show it to...

My daily flashlight carry, the O-light i3E Copper --

Just about 2 1/2 inches and light as a feather, hangs from my keychain and throws off a lot of light for such a small torch.   Thinking about upgrading to this  --

umm hmm.. that it is Beer  there really is a great current events/political discussion to be taken from there but I suppose we should not completely derail the PA's flashflight porn thread..

though you got your knife porn in... let me retort in closing with some gun porn...   the blond hair and big tits of firearms.. the .44 magnum... make my day baby...

Indeed, and other studies showed similar results.

Ugly, ugly stuff.

Long debate we often have... who wins close quarters... someone with a knife.. or one with a gun...
A knife for self-defense is a terrible idea.   Wounds, jail, and the possibility your opponent will obtain control of the knife.   And "knife fighting" is a fool's fantasy except when practicing strictly theoretic martial arts.   That said, there has been some fascinating tests showing someone with a knife can close the distance with someone armed with a gun pretty effectively.

Ugly business.

Yeah I hear a lot about UK knife laws and how odd and sometimes silly they can be with the locking, size, and one-hand opening restrictions, and that whole "It is illegal to carry a knife in public without good reason" thing.

The good news is that I think the limit is 3 inches, not 2, and these days there are some interesting and good quality UK-legal knives being offered ~

I assume you can own other types of knives at home?    I hear Canada ain't much better, and I know knife-collecting canucks who have a terrible time getting companies to even ship them a old-time jackknife.

not really a knife kind of guy...  too messy.. a gun is better for personal protection.

Long debate we often have... who wins close quarters... someone with a knife..  or one with a gun...

but to tie it all together...   this was my vote.. 



and my trump card to that debate.. blind the f**ker then put a round into him. Game over LOL...

yes wierd...  but I must admit.. post a few more videos like that and you might have me visiting flashflight porn sites...   

there are those right? My younger buddies tell me there are porn sites for everything under the sun these days..  please tell me there is not one for flashlight lovers.

if so... LINKS!!!!!! I'll take the heat from the admin team .. they know better than to try to ban me.

I'm using an Emisar D4 XPL-HI as a keychain light, just a mere 3000 lumens.

That's Hank Wang lumens, not ebay lumens!

Battery capacity and amp output is increasing all the time.
It's a very exciting (but weird) time to be interested in Torches.

hahah dude.. did you watch the video...  show me a flat headed flozzie with a oral fixation and Olympian levels of suction power that can do that.

Granted the OP has .. ummm.. perhaps an unhealthy fixation on flashlights but if I were to masterbate to a flashlight video... that would be the one.   Come on dude.. you are a man right...  that is the tool of illumination tools right there.

yeah.. I do love my 300+ lumen LED headlight.. but it did fail me the other night.  I don't suppose that monstrousity of a light has a head mount right... oh the fun I could have with that thing...

Flashlight technology has advanced by leaps & bounds, the brightness and power coming from even just a small keychain light is amazing.   What we really need is improved battery life.
