Emergency Situation.

what is that, a form of paper currency?

And for all those reasons it's easy to understand why you are excited about the XinTD X3. Other than the size, it'll have all the best of both those lights. It can use all three battery types, plus AAA's with adapters, and has a nice low.

I have one on the way :slight_smile:

how did you pull that off??

and yes, i like big reflectors too

pretty excited to see that light on the marked and price... and its gray, and i got an extra blue boot ta boot

Daddy gotz skilz :bigsmile:

WOW, whats happening in Canada? :open_mouth:

I think if will have any disaster in Brasil, 99,9% of people don’t have any light :smiley: :bigsmile:

Make sure you have as many ways to recharge your batteries as you can. I have the ability to recharge batteries with AC, DC and solar. I believe AA NiMh batteries and lights are the best for emergency situations because they charge much easier than LiOn.
I think you will find that good headlights will become some of your best friends. Zebralight H51 is about perfect because of the many modes and it is capable of running a long time on one single AA battery in the lower modes. Tailstanding lights will also be very useful. Try to use lower modes that don’t throw lots of light but still light up a room enough to do what you need to do. The headlight is then focused on things at hand with brighter light that is needed.

Flooding in Southern Alberta is pretty bad. I’m starting to think a dive light that runs on easy to find cells. Fortunately the dive lights from Flashpilot arrived today :slight_smile:

We had a tornado by Edmonton a little over a week ago.
Towns around Calgary are under water. The river here in Edmonton is projected to raise 3.5 meters in the next 24 hours.

Floods really suck, we are not used to this much water

A bug out bag with 1st aid supplies for my pump I need a monthly supply of alkaline aaa some high calorie/fat food. Also

Ill keep both of you guys in prayer

in emergency situation always pick AA battery flashlight :slight_smile:

My “Go Bag” next to my bed has: AA tank007 566 single mode xpg, cr123a thrunite neutron1c xml, cr123/18650 solarforce L2T with 5mode 4c xml p60, and my XinTD v3 C8…. Some of all the above batteries, plus some AAAs… and other goodies of course.

Why settle for one or two lights?? :slight_smile:

Tank007 is simple, cheap, almost dispoable, possible loaner to less prepared. Neutron has a nice UI in a small package. Could funtion in tactical role indoors. Have rings to mount it on my pistols in the event my primary weapon light fails. L2T has good modes and could be good CQB light. (If I had the chance, I would throw as many of my p60 drop ins in the bag as I could grab!) XinTD could cover moderate searchlight duties, but still pocketable.

Would probably grab my EA4w too. Can never have enough lights! :smiley: Good all purpose light & lantern, good emergency power source, very pocketable.

Ok… I broke the rules… so… If I was traveling ultralight/ultrafast the ea4w + ZL sc80w would probably get grabbed. Sc80 has superlows and takes AA or cr123.

Floods really sucks as fu, in São Paulo its common become under the water each heavy rain, but the worst part it’s impossible to solve by disordened grow of city |(

It’s sad to think how these people loss their furnishings and other belongings :_(

never even seen that model ZL before... my two fav cells usable in one light, though i think i would go with a SWM for that price even though it would need the extender

Can’t really go wrong with SWM or ZL. Both are very nice.

The sc80 was never super popular. I think partly because its a little fat for a AA, and long for a cr123 light.

There are smaller EDCs… But the benefit for that trade-off is that no additional extender piece is required (which may get lost). ZL made a clever little brass insert to enable either cell. Its a neat design.

The sc80W is the neutral version with a nice 4200k tint. Xpg is a little outdated now. I hope they make an xpg2 version (instead of xml).

Definitely praying for those dealing with floods and severe weather. Fires are still raging out west… fortunately mostly in unpopulated areas. Shit is popping off! Unfortunately, I see it getting worse in the future. :frowning:

I would grab a my BLF A8 and my 3T6 along with some spare batteries…and the extra tube for the 3T6 which makes is usable with 6AAs…
These are the lights I have always loaded fully and waiting for their use.(along with a 9T6)

With the fenix diffuser wand(slightly grinded) the A8 makes a superb lantern with really long runtimes and the 3T6 is the best light existing… :bigsmile:

I think the problem often is that people want to grab too much and heavy lights.

That’s awful lot of water — and in such short time!
