A set of nice flashlights. Why walk around in the dark? Some that I like: Sofirn SP36 BLF, LT1, SC21, HS10. Wurkkos TS10 (and I’ll be getting a TS11 soon.)

Walking around in the dark outside can actually be really nice. Your eyes adjust and, of course, it's never completely dark (moonlight, starlight, etc).

Torches (flashlights) are fine, but ppl tend to overuse them, in my experience.

Love my hexbright.

If they were still being made, I'd get more.

I can’t believe it’s already been ten years. My hexbright is still kicking. I’ll miss it when it will finally dies on me.

It will never.

Most common faults have well documented repairs. Worst case scenario you can get a new PCB made.

You'd have to physically destroy the enclosure to really lose your hexbright. I don't think anyone makes replacement ones.

But as I understand it, even that is documented, and the source hexagonal prism is common, so at least it's not impossible.
