I am in. I am always IN… and out… and IN again…

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. Thanks Scallywag

Because ? + = ?

I just picked up one of those new 3V Cree XHP50.2 emitters to try out and the TK18 can be the host for that experiment.

Jacksun · 2019-04-30T22:31:33.000Z

I’m in, because i am afraid of dark

Boaz · 2019-05-01T14:56:26.000Z

I'm in ... because I don't have that many flashlights ..Ok I'm lying .

I'm in ... and will use it to grow weed !

I'm in ... because it's the proper thing to do on BLF

I'm in ... because I don't own a thorfire light...more lies .

I'm in ... because I promise to give a nicer light away if I win .

HONDARIDER · 2019-05-01T15:09:57.000Z

“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.

LumenMax · 2019-05-01T15:19:44.000Z

I'm in. Would love to compare it with my Sofirn SP31

PonyHead · 2019-05-05T00:31:04.000Z

Sparks65 · 2019-05-05T00:38:21.000Z

I’m in, because I’m dark and full of evil

and I’ve always wanted to be in with the “in” crowd

korkfoto · 2019-05-05T04:58:42.000Z

I’m in. I want to give it to a friend who needs a good flashlight but keeps buying crappy ones.

Elvir4ik · 2019-05-13T23:09:08.000Z

8 i am in because the night is soooo dark!

brad · 2019-05-14T03:54:44.000Z

I’m in because I want it for the car.

jeff51 · 2019-05-14T19:59:03.000Z

I’m in, cause I’m afraid of the dark and I told my wife “I only need one more”……

Backpacker_Light · 2019-05-15T06:34:36.000Z

I am in. I will use this light in the woods.

I always bring a couple single aaa lights to see in my tent or lean-to,
but this would be great to investigate that more distant noise in the dark forest surrounding me……

Thank you for your giveaway Scallywag

Unfortunately, the giveaway cutoff was 05/14/2019.

Which leads me to a winner announcement...

manithree:

Ok, I’ll bite. I have a TK15s, and I love it as a bike light. I can turn it off and on with gloves on (the vast majority of the time I need a light, I’m also wearing gloves), without ever accidentally changing modes. My TK15 was in bike strobe mode all winter. And Thorfire’s bike strobe is perfect. Great for seeing and being seen. So, if I win, I’ll put it on a bike. I’ve been thinking about getting another TK15, but the TK18 is just as good, if not better.

Congratulations manithree! PM incoming.
