Flashlights

I've had this flashlight for a long time, and it's just wonderful. I got it from Best Made Co. and it looks like it's made by Maelstrom.

@Dmart - thanks for the Olight guidance, and, inspired by @Giles, I eventually landed on the Baton 4 Kit, which has been (as you suggested) perfect for ‘dog cake’ illumination - as well as other slightly less mundane tasks.

@Nocturama nice!

Very nice.
Looks like it's not available anymore.

Calling all flashlight experts.

I'm after a green (or possibly blue) lazer pointer.

Our birding guide in Costa Rica had one and it was remarkable how easy it was to spot the dot even in bright daylight.

I want one for birding and also for one on the boat, it will make pointing out specific things to people so much easier. Either I am utterly useless at describing where something is, or I am surrounded by people who are thick. I suspect it is the former

Any recommendations?

FENIX HT32 FLASHLIGHT WITH RED/GREEN LEDS I love this brand!

New light(s) day. Got a Prometheus Delta. It’s a compact 18350 triple emitter machined from aluminum that has been electroplated with nickel. It has copper fins and a carbon insert for heat dissipation. So far I’ve only run it up to 70% and can’t picture going higher than that. I think half that is plenty for most situations. Here is 2% in a dark closet:

I love the look and feel of the light.

Impeccably built. Look how the emitters and optics line up to the crenellations.

I also got an extender to convert it to 18650 when I want 2.8x more battery longevity.
