Newcomer to the flashlight and edc reviewing world.

     My intention in creating this blog is to write about and review EDC gear such as knives, guns and flashlights. I've been collecting led flashlights since they first starting appearing in abundance in early 2000.  I saw that this was going to be the future of lighting and I wanted to be at the forefront of this new advancement in technology.  I've always been interested in technology and flashlights, so this was a perfect blend of my interests.  I also enjoy collecting a variety of knives and firearms, as well as watches and other miscellaneous edc gear.

     I will attempt to talk about these different things, as well as posting pictures and the occasional video discussing them.  I've approached a newcomer to the led lighting field called Niteye.  They are actually an OEM manufacturer for many other established brands, but this is their first foray into the market with their own branded product.  They've agreed to send me a couple samples of their new lights for review.  These lights will be the EYE30 and the newly released EYE40.


     I will put forth a layman's perspective and a real world use review without getting too technical.  Once I receive the lights I will use them for a period of time then document my findings.  I will also post to this blog, as well to a Niteyelight Facebook page that I have created.  Any videos I make will be posted to my YouTube channel and linked here as well as to the Niteyelight page.

     Stay tuned for my forth coming reviews....

The Glowing Ancestor: Revisiting the Casio MDV-102 "Marlin" Illuminator

 When we talk about Casio divers, most modern enthusiasts immediately picture the iconic MDV-106 "Duro." It's the go-to recommendation for an ultra-affordable, reliable dive watch, often seen gracing the wrists of everyone from students to billionaires. But to truly appreciate the lineage and innovation that led to the Duro's ubiquity, we need to look back at its distinguished forebear: the Casio MDV-102. This less common, yet equally impressive "Marlin" diver holds a special place in Casio's rich history of robust, value-packed water-resistant timepieces. Casio's heritage in divers isn't as flashy as some Swiss marques, but it's built on a foundation of honest, no-nonsense utility. Long before G-Shocks dominated the extreme sports scene, Casio was producing highly capable water-resistant watches, often adorned with the "Marlin" logo—a symbol of genuine 200-meter water resistance. The MDV-102 is a proud member of this family, carryi...

Niteye TF-25

     I just received my first light from Niteye .  This is an OEM manufacturer for other well established flashlight companies, such as Jetbeam.  Now they have come out with their own line of flashlights.  This particular model uses 1x18650 rechargeable lithium battery or 2xCR123 lithium batteries.  This light provides about 1 hour at the highest setting of 500 lumens and 50 hours at the lowest setting which is approximately 1 lumen.  It has a large head which accommodates a wide a deep smooth reflector which provides it with good flood and quite decent throw.  The light uses the latest XM-L U2 led which is from Cree and is capable of producing a ton of light from a small package.      I received the light in a nice box which held the light in a foam packing.  The light comes with a nice open style holster where only the head is covered allowing access to the switch.  It also comes with a lanyard ring, n...

The Unbeatable Beater: Why the Casio Duro "Marlin" Still Reigns Supreme

 In a world where watch prices often climb into the stratosphere, it's refreshing to encounter a timepiece that delivers far beyond its humble cost. For anyone who appreciates reliability, classic design, and sheer unpretentious utility, the Casio Duro (MDV106, affectionately known as the "Marlin" for the iconic fish adorning its dial and case back) stands as an enduring testament to bang-for-your-buck brilliance. This isn't a watch designed for the boardroom or the gala, though its handsome looks might fool a casual observer. The Duro is a tool watch through and through. Its robust 44mm stainless steel case (often with a striking brushed and polished finish), paired with a 200-meter water resistance and a unidirectional diving bezel, means it's ready for anything you throw at it – from actual diving to yard work, or simply being your go-to weekend companion. The precise quartz movement ensures rock-solid accuracy, meaning you can set it and forget it, a true luxu...
