"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. |

Staring back from the abyss
| Curious what the heat output is. I have the aforementioned Fenix, and while I love that it'll light up the neighborhood like daytime, it gets really hot in short order. I don't care for that.

| Here's where I first saw this light. Egyptian archeology. This appears to be a previous version of the RS80. |

| Has anyone ordered one of these?? I ordered one on 11/25 and have a order conformation. My order has not shipped as of this am. Just wanted to check and see if any members were having issues.

| It shipped today. It is a Christmas gift for my GF. I will try to post pics after Christmas and give a report on how it performs. I cant wait to try it out on the farm to see how far it will light things up.

| From what I could find out everything on the Klarus web site ships out of China and they are having a few problems with supply and shipping.

| I ordered one on the 24th, received it yesterday. The battery cover is held on by small allen screws, was worried they might strip out, but was able to remove it ok. Comes with a 240 style plug in charger with 12v output. And a type C 5v charger cable. After charging for 3 hours, it indicated full charge. They indicated that they are shipped at 50% charge. Easy to use switch, and yes it's bright! |

Exactly what I was thinking. My grandpa always had those around the house for hunting. |

| Any comments from those of you who purchased one of these flashlights? |

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
| Para seems to find all sorts of things to entice me to spend money on lately. First it was knives. Since I need a good light mostly to walk my two dogs, I checked out their headlight options. This looks like a candidate and is no where as expensive as the handheld model (as cool as that looks, I need both hand free). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P...a_maas&tag=maas&th=1
