REVIEW – Flashlights are a basic requirement in most readiness kits. There are lots of freebies out there, but most of them in my opinion aren’t worth keeping around. The SPERAS TH4 4-in-1 Hunting Flashlight came up for review and I was intrigued by the features. A good flashlight is worth the effort and when

REVIEW – The NITECORE EDC27 UHi flashlight is an easy to carry and handle, flat design flashlight that can run from blindingly bright to inconspicuously dim. It has one of the best, meaning most obnoxious, strobe functions I’ve seen and it may well work as a mild defense. The light is comfortable in the hand,

REVIEW – The WURKKOS TS10 V2.0 flashlight is a solid piece of hardware. It has some quirky features that use its miniature colored LEDs, but it shoots a 1400-lumen bright white beam and dials down to a moonlight dim for when a little light will do. It suffers from a couple of challenges. See if

REVIEW – This is the second Olight flashlight I’ve reviewed. The first was the Olight Seeker 4 Mini, a small but incredibly useful flashlight. The brand-new Olight Javelot light is about twice the size of the Seeker 4 Mini, but not twice as powerful. This made me wonder why anyone might prefer the Javelot, especially

REVIEW – Car headlights are bright these days. Websites disagree wildly about how bright headlights are, but there is a general consensus that 3,000 lumens (lm) is a good average for modern factory LED headlights. Let’s suppose that you need more than that. You want to illuminate a broad area, briefly, and make it look

REVIEW – Most flashlights that you’ll read about here on The Gadgeteer look alike. They are a black tube with a bright LED that shines out of one end and a button that turns the light on, off, and changes modes. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s been how most flashlights have been designed

REVIEW – The Bookman Volume 800 bike light is ready to hit the road, so you don’t. It sends a maximum 800 lumens in a wide light beam that will insure you are seen by anyone in front of you and can see everything in front of you as you ride. But there were some

REVIEW – I keep a flashlight in a pouch on my backpack at all times because I always seem to need one. At 750 lumens using a Cree LED it was the brightest CR123 battery-powered flashlight at the time so when Nitecore asked me to review their new MH12 Pro that puts out 3300 lumens

NEWS – The Sofirn IF23 flashlight has a lot going for it. You can obviously use it as a regular flashlight and it will do a great job with that task since it has a max of 4000 lumens. But where the Sofirn really shines (I couldn’t resist) is with a second built-in 500 lumen
