My father was a flashaholic and passed down the addiction genetically lol. I remember him showing me a Surefire 6p in ths late 90s/early 2000s and was amazed by the 60 lumen output lol. Then a few years later he showed these to me and thats when the addiction started. I was digging through some old drawers and wanted to share this with you guys amd gals. Here's what the flashlight game was putting out 20 years ago. It still works, but only with a 14500. Doesn't work with AAs (1.5v)as it was meant to be, but it will work with a 3.7v 14500. Also it won't switch modes, stuck on high no matter if the head is tightened or loose. Crazy to see how far the flashlight industry has come in 20 years.

    Can’t believe that led flashlights we’re a thing 20 years ago, 20 years ago sound’s like 1980 and it’s only you and a 50 lumen incandescent bulb beam in the middle of a forest
