I'm getting the flashlight bug... I've been doing a little looking into them on Reddit and I feel myself swimming towards the whirlpool. I'll probably get about 3, one to keep in the truck, a nicer headlamp, and another edc pocket option. Here's yesterday's carry with the Reylight Pineapple Mini.

You’re probably already familiar with Everyday Commentary reviews, but just in case you missed it: https://www.everydaycommentary.com
Anthony does an insanely focused, deep dive on knives and flashlights and limited other gear. Great writing delivering top notch information.

Only 3?
Actually, the thing that stopped me from hoarding lights is battery maintenance.
Been carrying the Reylight LANapple quite a bit. Was thinking about adding tritium vials but a set of 4 would cost more than the light itself.

Same! I decided to go all in on olight for that reason. Although this AAA is an older one that was my gateway drug. And the mini maglight…

I actually did not know about Everday Commentary, thank you much!
Haha, well we'll see how many it actually turns into, but I'm trying to be a bit more minimalistic lately. I like that LANapple, I've always thought that that was an awesome design!Only 3?

The LANapple is great! As for the battery, I'm pretty sure it takes the same one as the Olight Diffuse (wife swiped that one from me). The battery has a USB c port on the side of it.

Yeah I like that! I might have to get one, although I'd kinda like to try a Convoy or Wurrkos for my next one. The guys on the flashlight Reddit rave about those a lot.The LANapple is great!

Oh it starts like that, then you keep seeing pics and wondering, "What is that light?"

I’m not sure how long I’ve had this one but I know it’s been years now and the casing has a very nice pocket worn look and feel about it, I would hate to ever lose it.
