once a year I email my favorite flashlight manufacturer to ask if they’ve finally made a flashlight that just turns on and off when you push the button, and every year they’re like, “no, but thanks so much for your feedback!”

be honest, have any of you ever used the flashing feature on your flashlight? did it actually come in handy? handy enough that I have to scroll past it every single time I want to turn my flashlight on or off

    Yes, they’re expensive.

    But also extremely reliable, I’ve had ever had one go bad on me.

    But, again, if it’s out of your budget, streamlight offers less expensive options (though they’re the ones that started the feature-craze with stinger strobe.)

    (Keep in mind, if you’re using the strobe as intended…it’s either going to piss people off or cause an epileptic seizure. So those “features” are basically useless.)
