I started my flashlight hobby by collecting cheesy flashlights such as a Curious George flashlight. After awhile I decided to switch to _usable_ flashlights. My favorite is the Fenix TK41 which I use when walking my dog during the non-summer seasons. Multiple modes stretching from very low lumens to very bright lumens in a rock solid package. I don't mind parting with a little money for such an excellent light. My favorite 1xAAA light is the Beta-QRv2 for similar reasons. Multiple modes ranging from low to high lumens, very attractive (very), all in an extremely small package. Of course I have a range of lights that are inexpensive and fun still. I'm hoping to learn more about unique flashlights by visiting this forum.
It's good to have you here, davemchine!
Welcome Davemchine, that Beta looks like it’s probably made by Lumintop, similar to the Worm.
