More flashlights and stuff

[Big Frank]

It looks like I forgot to post a link to the Portable Phone Stand. The hinges are stiff enough to hold your phone at any angle with nothing but friction. It's all aluminum construction with silicone feet. The measurements are 4.06 x 2.88 x 0.95 inches and it weighs 4.8 ounces.

I got another Olight Warrior Nano 1200 Lumens Tactical EDC Flashlight, a red one this time. And a black Diffuse 700 Lumens EDC Pocket Flashlight to go with the red and green ones I bought. They gave me another Auspicious Clouds i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight. I knew I was getting 1 of 4 designs but didn't know which. I would have rather had the blue porcelain one. I have a some red flashlights, but not so many blue ones. Before this I got a Blue Porcelain light, and an Osight Edition Shot Show gift for free, but had to pay $5 shipping for one because I didn't buy anything. The Osight Edition kind of looks like a Red Dot reticle. It has the same shape as the Blue Porcelain, Auspicious Clouds, and some other special edition i3E EOS Keychain Flashlights I have. A pocket clip won't fit on any of these like it will the regular ones, because they don't have a groove for it to fit in.

I bought a 1k lumen light at (of all places) CVS. I was in there getting medicine and saw a light display on an endcap.
It's a brand you usually find at Lowes, LuxPro and uses a standard lithium rechargeable 18650 battery like a Streamlight (I have several of those batteries).
One thing I really like is the mode setting is made by a twist of the housing ring instead of clicking the tail cap....that way you can set it where you want it and then the on/off is just that....no cycling.

Lists for $50 on the LuxPro site and CVS had it for $42.... I had a 30% off coupon and some store credit, so I got the thing for $23.

Basically the same size as my EDC Streamlight, so I keep it in the truck console as a backup.

Nice score on the LuxPro, Peg. The great thing about 18650 batteries is there are tons of them available. And you can always replace the originals with higher amperage batteries if you want to.

I just got 2 Olight flashlights from Amazon in the afternoon. I got a Regal Blue Baton 4 Powerful EDC Flashlight 1300 Lumens flashlight, but not the Premium version with the case that can fully charge it 5 times. I plan on getting a charging case sometime because I have 4 of the 5 flashlights you can charge in it, and 2 can be operated inside the case. The flashlight was 40% off, but in combination with the case was only 25% off so I passed on it this time. I thought about getting the Fighter Pilot Baton 4 instead of the blue one, but I'd rather get that one with the case. This uses the same 16340 battery as my S1R Baton II and Baton 3, which is a A123 size 3.6 volt lithium battery. They should run on 3 volt CR123A batteries in a pinch, but I'm not sure. I thought about getting the Fighter Pilot Baton 4 instead of blue, but I'd rather get that one with the case.

I took the silver clip off and put it on my black S1R Baton II, and put the gold clip that came with the red Baton 3 on it. That one has a blue clip on it that I bought. The S1R Baton II is 1,000 lumens, The Baton 3 is 1,200, and the Baton 4 is 1,300 lumens. Pretty good from a 123A size battery but Turbo will kill them all in a hurry. This one should run 35 hours on Low at 12 lumens, or 8 hours on Medium at 60 lumens, which sounds good to me. I have a tiny little belt case that will hold any of these 3 flashlights since they're all the same size, just a hair under 2.5" long. It looks like nylon and has a D ring sewn on right above the belt loop so it can be hung on a carabiner or whatever.

I also got a Desert Tan i3T EOS Small Flashlight for 35% off. This is 5/180 lumens. The i3T 2 can also use a 10440 Li-ion battery which can boost the maximum output up to 300 lumens. You're not supposed to put one of those batteries in a i3T EOS like this, but some people still do. It's brighter than 180 lumens, but probably not 300. If you stick with a AAA battery you can get 16 hours of runtime on low. Between the i3T EOS and i3T 2 EOS, I now have at least one each of Black, OD Green, Desert Tan, Plaid, Pinwheel Blue, Carbon Fiber, solid  Zirconium, and Dragon & Phoenix Golden Black. I don't have a Zombie Green one with red splatters (as far as I recall), and no pink one.

Here are "the little guys". I have even smaller flashlights than this, a lot smaller, but those are all key ring size and these aren't. The imini weighs less than 1/2 ounce, but it takes button batteries and that kind of flashlight never lasts. That's why I quit using 2 different brands I have.

Black S1R Baton II. Red Baton 3. Regal Blue Baton 4. Blue Perun 2 Mini. Big fat meat hook. I have a headband the Perun 2 Mini fits in and the light swivels up and down in the mount. I like it a lot better than the LED headband light I bought. It also uses a 3.6V 16340 Rechargeable Lithium Battery, and has a 1,100 lumen Cool White LED straddled by a pair of Red LEDs. All of them have similar checkering except the Perun 2 Mini. It and the S1R Baton II have a hole to attach a lanyard to the bottom, but the Baton 3 and Baton 4 don't. The checkering on the other 3 is squares, rectangles, and pyramids.

Here are my Baton 3, one of my 3 Baton 3 Pros, and my Baton 3 Pro Max. The Pro uses a 3200 mAh 3.6V 18650 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery, and the Pro Max uses a 5000 mAh 3.6V 21700 Rechargeable lithium-ion Battery. That's over 56% more mAhs in a package that's not much larger. The Baton 3 with its 123-size battery is only 550 mAh, and the Pro Max is 809% more, but there's a big difference in size. If the Pro Max was the Desert Tan magnesium one instead of solid brass, it would weigh 1.1 ounce more than the Pro. And if it was aluminum like most of them, it would weigh 1.59 ounce more.

I like the size of that mini....especially with 1300 lumens. Next time I make an Amazon order I'll snag one.

[Big Frank]

I don't know how long they'll be on sale, but for 40% off it's hard to beat the combination of size, performance, and price. The Baton 4 fits this S1 / S1R / S MINI Holster that only costs $3.95.

I hooked a Size #1 Nite Ize Black S-Biner Dual Carabiner on the D-ring on mine. Dimensions: 0.6" x 1.6" x 0.2". Weight Rating: 5 lbs. They're $4.99 a pair for black or plain stainless finish. They're thin and tiny sized, but with the 5 pound rating it should hold up even if it gets snagged on something. The Size #2 Dimensions: 0.8" x 1.9" x 0.3" Weight Rating: 10 lbs. for $2.99 apiece are even better.

The new Baton Turbo Compact EDC Flashlight is a little bit bigger and has a fat head. It's only 1,000 lumens but has a Beam Distance of 1,673 feet. Possibly the best thing about it is that it comes with an adapter sleeve so you can use a CR123A Battery if your 1100mAh 18350 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery craps out on you. It has great reviews but I don't think it's for me. Unless there's a good sale.
