I'll take mystery box on the front step for $1,000 Alex.

I am torn on what to put it on.  A standoff self-defense item like a 300 Win Mag also good for hogs or a Weatherby 257 magnum also good for the same but flatter and not so much for hogs. 

A less expensive model would be great on a 22/17HMR for wabbits.

Here's my collection of Olight Arkfeld flashlights. The Arkfeld UV is in the middle, flanked by a pair of Arkfeld Pro lights, with Arkfeld Ultras on the ends. The Arkfeld UV is just a white light and green laser. The rest are all UV, white light, and green laser. You can turn on the white light while the laser is on, which gives you a 4th option. The Arkfeld Ultras are just a bit bigger and brighter, and made with O-aluminum (OAL) Material. That's a hard, tough aluminum alloy. I like how the position indicator for the switch on the Snowflake Green one is a snowflake. The Arkfeld Ultras both came with a challenge coin. The 4 indicator lights for the battery condition are below the switch, and on the Ultras they're inside an engraving of a battery. In the picture it shows up on the green one but not the blue one. All of the lights are cut away on the sides of the switch. The old models had 2 "thumb studs" on the switch and that made it easy to use either side of the switch. All of the newer ones only have one stud in the middle on the bottom, but the sides are still cut away.

I forgot to turn them around and take another picture, so I grabbed a pic from another site to let you see the gold color pocket clip on the Racing Stripes Arkfeld Pro, which was the first one I bought. The clip matches the button and bezel, but it's even shinier. There's also an Arkfeld Flat Flashlight (the original?) with Green Laser & White Light the same size and weight as the Arkfeld UV. I'm going to buy one if they ever get the Pinwheel Gunmetal Grey version in stock. I have a Pinwheel Blue i3T EOS Small Flashlight (sold out) and a Pinwheel Orange i1R 2 Pro Keychain Flashlight (out of stock) and would like to add the Pinwheel Gunmetal Grey light to the collection. They should be in stock later in the week.

I saw a YouTube video where this guy bought several 900,000 - 1,000,000 lumen flashlights from Amazon. The actual outputs were 526 lumens for a million lumen light, up to 2,410 lumens for a 990,00 lumen light. They all put out somewhere between 0.05% and 0.24% of the lumens they claimed to. When the BEST is less than 1/4 of 1% of what it claims, they should all be confiscated and the companies that sell them severely fined and put out of business. Think about the one that puts out 1/20 of 1% of what they claim, and what it would be like if other products were so far off spec. If you bought a car battery that said it was 12 volts, but it was really only 6/1000 of 1 volt, you'd be pissed off and rightly so. That would be 0 cold cranking amps, no matter what they said it was. And it would be nothing but an oversized paperweight. But these people selling flashlights claim whatever they want to for their flashlights. And another thing they do is use the ratings for a different product and apply it to their own, so it looks like it's actually okay. They'll even sell a different model with different specs, and as long as they don't raise the price Amazon doesn't get suspicious. These Amazon sellers are so full of $#!x they should all be politicians. And like many politicians, deserve to be lined u against a wall and shot. Fraud like this is one of the worst kinds of theft there is.

I got an Olight Seeker 2 in (Ocean?) Blue today. It's not on their site anymore, and according to some YouTube reviews from 5 years ago, it was a limited edition of 2019 flashlights in the blue color. It's a 3,000 lumen flood light with 3 LEDs. It almost the same size as the 3,100 lumen Seeker 4 that has 1 LED. The Seeker 4 is a little bit longer because it has a covered USB-C port instead of using the magnetic charging cable. The S4 has way more candela and a longer throw, but the S2 runs about 7 times as long on high. The blue one has a black bezel and the black one had a blue bezel. If you had both you could swap them to make each light a single color.

As you can see, the Seeker 4 is almost identical except for the number of LEDs and the way they charge. The Seeker 4 Mini has a similar form to the S2 and S4, but shorter. It has 2 pairs of finger grooves instaed of 3 and uses an 18350 3.6V 1100mAh Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery, instead of a Rechargeable 21700 5000mAh / 3.6V Li-ion Battery. The Seeker 4 Mini is also 4-5mm narrower in the body and head because of the smaller battery, and has 2 LEDs, white and UV.

The Seeker 2 is still charging. Since it has a magnetic base, I can hang it on an L-stand. I'll probably put that one by the back door and keep the 2,300 lumen Warrior 3S by the front door. And I have another L-stand so I might put a light at the top of the basement stairs, next to the light switch.

The other flashlight I got today was another i3T 2 EOS Small EDC Flashlight This one is a Dragon & Phoenix Golden Black. I used 5398 O-coins to pay for it and no money. It came with a AAA battery, but you can also use a 10440 Li-ion battery to boost the maximum output from 200 lumens up to 300 lumens.

Today I got a Clip Mount that's made for Olight Warrior Mini 3 and Warrior Nano flashlights. The illustration is of a Warrior Mini 3. It's a bit longer than the width of my hand  and the Warrior Nano is 1.18" shorter. I can make a fist with it inside and you can't see it from the back of my hand, and not much from any angle other than the bottom. It's too short to handle as well as bigger lights, but at 3.0 oz including the battery and pocket clip, it sure is easy to carry. Mine already came with a clip, but now it's attached to the tail end instead of the head. If I press the tail switch halfway it's on medium and if I press it all the way in it's half-turbo, 600 lumens. Those modes are momentary, but if I press it until it clicks, it stays on at half-turbo. It still has low, medium and high with the side switch, plus a double click is 1,200 lumen turbo, and a triple click is strobe. It will run on 0.5 lumen moon mode for 40 days. Not bad for an 18350 battery, just 1mm longer than a 123A battery, but some of the bigger lights are 10 times brighter on moon mode.

I also got a Snowman Christmas Sling for my Sphere Ambient Light with App Control. The app for the Sphere has more modes on it now, including Christmas and Peppermint patterns. I got a Wyvern Road Bike Light so when I get new tires and tubes on my bike next year I can ride it and be safer. The light I have on it isn't as bright and I'm not sure it still works. The Wyvern is a type of mythical dragon. I also got a Portable Phone Stand that fits in my Nite Ize XL Vertical Clip Case Hardshell Universal Rugged Holster. I put my phone in the internal credit card pocket, and the stand in front of it with the hooks hanging over the edge. I got another Exploit Multifunctional Tool Roll Bag in this order, and the free Christmas gift was an Auspicious Clouds i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight.

The order before this one had the Sentry R1 Folding Outdoor Kitchen Tool, an Otool 2 Mini Titanium Versatile Keychain, and OD Green i3T 2 EOS Small EDC Flashlight. Before that I got a free Olight Beanie for Thanksgiving, and 2 sets of free Christmas stickers. I'm going to put some on my Sphere after I eat. When I ordered the Christmas Gift Box and a bunch of other stuff they sent me an O'Pen Mini 2 Ballpoint Pen and Pencil in One as a Black Friday Gift. It's a special brass edition that they aren't selling.
