Adam Savage's flashlight

.

It is a Nebo Micro Redline. It was one my first flashlights (I was not in the forum back then).

It is not the best one, it uses CR2 batteries (lithium, 3V, not rechargeable, difficult to get at least here), and the User interface is High > Medium > Low > Strobe, without memory.

It is a twisty zoomable flashlight, with an unknown led, and the tint is Cool White. The beam is not completely unpleasant while zoomed out.
It has a magnet in the tailcap which loses strength along the time.

It has PWM (the stripes on the beam) in all modes.

The flashlight is overpiced for what it has and does.

He also has a custom built quad xhp70 light. It’s on his YouTube channel somewhere. A Google or NASA engineer built it for him, I think that’s what he said?

You are absolutely, right, I explained myself wrong :person_facepalming:
What I wanted to say was that the zoom is “twisty” and not “push-pull”.
The light has a tailswitch, indeed, which is supposed to “glow in the dark” if powered by light, but it doesn’t :stuck_out_tongue:

So…I am not sure if seeing this light and those boots you should rely on his choices :wink: Actually, if you hate the boots, you already know that many times these people doesn’t make the right choices :smiley:

Sometimes people make choices based on advertising or on what they know at the time. Maybe that Nebo was what he knew, but it is not a great choice. If you want a small zoomable flashlight, check the On The Road i3. The UI is not perfect, but its a nice flashlight!

BTW, there is a thread here on BLF about boots: what type of boots do you all wear ?
Some interesting stuff there :wink:

Here is Adam’s light from Google mentioned above:

In Adam’s EDC video from 2013, he’s carrying a single-mode, single AAA, twisty Fenix. Here’s a still that I cropped and rotated from around the 6 minute mark:

He says he prefers single-mode lights with a tail switch, specifically a proud one. He mentions a recently lost stainless steel Jetbeam, which he’d machined to eliminate the shroud around the tail switch.

He modifies a replacement in this later video:
