    Blackfire Clamplight Emergency 100-Lumen LED Flashlight

    Last week I reviewed the Blackfire Clamplight Waterproof flashlight which I liked an awful lot. If you’re looking for a quality clamping light, that’s the one to get. This week I got to review the Blackfire Clamplight Emergency 100-Lumen LED Flashlight which you might call the “little brother” flashlight. Because I had such a good…

    Blackfire Clamplight Waterproof LED Light: 170 Lumens, 360 Degree Swivel

    A few weeks back I received this Blacklight Clamplight to review. As I’ve never owned a quality clamping light before (I have owned poorly made ones) I said “sure” and have begun to really like it! Though I still prefer a quality headlamp for survival situations such as a bug out, these clamp lights are nice…

    Coast HP14 High Performance Focusing 339 Lumen LED Flashlight Review

    I’ve been interested in a new, quality flashlight for some time now and, though I do like my trusty Maglite and even the lesser expensive Coleman Max, this Coast HP14 LED Flashlight stands to supplant both of them.

    This D.Light Solar Lantern (the d.Light S20 Lantern to be specific) was brought to my attention by the Rev. Dr. Harris who occasionally comments here.

    Dorcy LED Headlamps: Remarkably Nice Lights for Hiking, Camping, Bug Out, and More

    I was sent two Dorcy LED headlight flashlights–I prefer to call them headlamps– the 41-2096 and 41-2097 a few weeks back to review and, to be frank, I’m glad I got them. They’re quite nice for the cost (at less than $20 each) and may likely supplant my current favorite headlamp, the Energizer Pro 7.…

    About two months ago I linked to a video on these Mr. Beams MB360 Wireless Motion Sensing Spotlights which I feel are a very good deal for the price at about $20 each (a 3-pack is $50 total). In the same post, however, I mentioned the fact that I choose to go with a more powerful…

And,…
