A while back Thrunite released the TC15, a 18650 light with built in charging and an indicating switch.  Thrunite made a special edition of the TC15 with youtuber The Outsider.  Check out that channel!  I’ve never heard of it but to be honest it looks pretty cool.  Here’s a test of the customized The Outsider edition of the Thrunite TC15!

I have a long history of enjoying Skilhunt lights.  In particular the UI but I also loved so many of the iterations of the H03…  This is a new 14500 light which boasts on-board charging, includes a cell, and also works with NiMH.  Read on for more testing!

Nitecore’s just released a light with what appears to be a built in 18650.  It’s fairly low cost, and can be considered a “complete package” light, and has features that can make it a compelling entry point to flashlights.  Read on for more!

Today I have in for review a very feature-rich light by Fenix.  First off, it’s a 21700 light, which is great.  It also has on-board charging (via USB-C), dual switches, and some other cool features.  Read on to see how it tests out!

Thrunite has released something I’ve wanted for a long time now.  This is a pocket friendly 18350 light, with an e-switch.  It’s a good production version counterpoint to many of the “custom” triples out there, most of which have mechanical tail clickies.

Sofrin has a big light out – a 2×26650 “wall o’ light” light.  This is the SP70, and it’s quite a light!  Read on for more info and testing.

Preface A new 10440 light has hit the market!  It’s on pre-order at Illumn.com, and the guys there sent an early release model to me…

Preface Someone new has jumped onto the scene in flashlights!  The guys at Custom Knife Factory (CKF, from here on out) – unsurprisingly more known…

This post has been a long time coming.  Shamefully long, if I’m honest.  I have had this item for review for so long it’s not even stocked by GearBest any more.

This is my second 3d printer review, and while the item itself is a nice unit, I had a hard time building it, and have not actually printed anything with it yet (stop here if that’s going to be a problem.)  This is my … preview… of the Zonestar Z8XM2.

I write this post mainly because I want users to know about these kits, to see how they look during the build process and so that some might be better able to gauge if this is a build they’re willing to undertake.

Occasionally I get a light that I ask for.  Sometimes I don’t…  Sometimes I ask for something just because it looks fun and awesome and like it also might get you shot by police, and I get sent this light for review.  This is a hunting light.  I’m no hunter.  It’s still neat and fun, and I can evaluate.  I hope the info here will be useful for hunters.  This light has so many options.  I tapped out just a little with regards to a leave-no-screw-unturned rigorous evaluation, but I hope there’s a reasonable amount of info here.

Also forgive me for a little bit of holiday cheer – I’ve saved this Red and Green light for my Christmas Light review!!  Merry Christmas!

Thrunite has a new light on the market.  It’s an 18650 light, with on-board charging, but boasts an incredible 2300 lumens.  Read on to see how this light tests, and if it hits its claim!

Wuben is still hitting the scene hard.  I’ve reviewed a Wuben before, the TO10R.  The build quality is great, and I was interested to see if Wuben would keep that trend going.  They sent the E05, which I believe has just been released, and here’s my review and test of it!

Olight has a new tiny keychain light out.  In the meantime of me asking for the X9R, Olight wanted to send out the I1R and I3T.  I’ve already reviewed the I3T, so here’s the I1R!

Utorch has been a brand I liked since a while back, when I reviewed the UT02.  I really liked that one, and it’s been a go-to recommendation for a while.  When I saw these two small lights on GearBest, I was very interested to test them.  So here’s the Utorch S1 Mini, a 16340 aspheric!

Olight has iterated the X7, and added charging.  I reviewed the X7 ages ago (back in 2016), and was generally pleased.  Let’s see how (if?) Olight has improved on this venerable design, by adding recharging and an indicating side switch.

The truth is that I haven’t used a 3D printer before using this one, so there was quite a big learning curve for me.  As a result I’ve had this item in for review longer than most items.  But I’ve used it a lot, and can give my experiences and thoughts, which can possibly help you.  

This tripod is another item I’ve asked over and over for GearBest to send me.  They agreed and boy have they sent a nice one.  I don’t have a ton of experience with tripods, but I’ve used this one and formed some impressions! Read on!
