I got 2 ’18s, same misgivings about the UI (don’t recall if mine did the up’n’down steps, though), gave away both, but the 2nd one only about a month ago… and was then asked by someone a coupla days after if I still had one. :person_facepalming:
I am in. I have quite a few lights, and don’t need it myself. However, ive upgraded to a four bay charger and would love to give the light and charger to a friend or family who aren’t in the know about lights beyond Maglight.
I am in. I would use the TK18 as EDC, leaving it stock for now, so I could use my Coast HP1 with a red filter for night vision in astronomy. Thank you.
I’m in. I like tube style flashlights and love them when they have ramping. If I am the extremely lucky winner, I will use it as a grow light. I will grow green peppers and lemons to help supplement my vitamin c levels to treat a bad case of scurvy.
Thanks for the chance to win and improve my health.

I’m in, thanks for the opportunity, would probably use for walking dog at night, I don’t have any ramping lights so this sounds like good option over the bulkier Thorfire I use(cant remember M#, its not on the light, but takes 4AA’s) which is kinda hard to hold with a dog leash
i’m not in - because i already have a free one too - the trouble with these lights is the extremely slow ramping, it takes about 8 sec to go one way, and there is no way to change ramp directions without going all the way either up or down then it goes back, maybe you have to press a button again for it to actually reverse, so it does ramp but it is very slow and inconvenient.
on the plus side, they are made VERY well, and can be used for ‘signaling’ due to the 2-switch design
all the tail switch does is turn it on and off, and it is an ‘unreversed’ clicky - when you push it in, it goes on
so you could signal with it.
“I’m in”. My plan is to have a drawing for it where I work. The folks that work directly under me utilize lights while repairing aircraft parts to look for damage or F.O.D. Most of them have cheaper Wal-Mart lights that run on a AA and are inferior to todays more modern lights. This would be a great light for one of them. I usually have couple extra batteries and a cheap charger I will throw in for whomever wins. It will be put to good use.
