I finally had to replace the (second) battery on my K3S yellow which I've used for nearly a year. The date I marked on the cell was 4-26. Not bad for being used around the house every evening and many a night. If I was to spitball an average daily run time, I'd say 3 minutes. 7-1/2 months is 225 days, so 675 min.. divide by 12... 56 hours give or take.

Can someone who’s used this light medically tell me if it’s too bright for checking pupils? I’ve tried other LED lights that are to bright for that. Usually fine for assessment otherwise. Be nice to not have to worry about those disposable one always dying at the worst time!

zanthineThe best medical light in the world is the HDS Systems custom rotary with a high-CRI LED. Very few people know about these, and they'll run about $300, but they have nearly continuous gradation from a fraction of a lumen to 200-300 lumens and are overbuilt to a nearly ridiculous degree.

JDWarnerThat does look perfect! However I keep thinking I could buy a LOT of disposable lights for $300. Lol

I don't need one but bear in mind that since it's for medical use it can NOT be bright since you are supposed to shine it in people's pupils to check for correct response. If you use a blindingly bright light it's not helpful. The first light i was going to use was rejected by my director as too bright.

OldManTickHonestly, that's kind of not true. If you know how to use a light, any flashlight made can be use for pupil response. You can dead-angle a bright light and only barely graze the corner of the pupil without any real discomfort - I find it works better anyways than a flat "shine straight in the eye" because oftentimes the straight shot with a penlight technique doesn't cause a rapid enough change in pupil size for many people to be diagnostically relevant - particularly if you're not in ideal light to start with.

I can tell from the description this light might illuminate things we DON'T WANT TO SEE!

This is seriously one of the most useful lights out there for around-the-house edc, but I would (did) look for the "yellow" version. The white light is fine, but the yellower one is so beautifully warm and non-glaring in the middle of the night.
Only a couple of lumens (which means off-the-charts runtime), but don't think it's not bright. Not recommended for situations where you have to light up a room or work under a car during daylight, but for walking down the hallway, taking a peek outside at night or spotting whatever you're looking for accross the room, the aspheric lens projects those 2 lumens into a perfectly diffused spotlight that will never blind you.
I ended up buying several. I plan to give a couple to my nephews as 'ninja lights'. Should be perfect for any stealth missions they may have in mind, and the simple operation and long runtime are kid-friendly.

I have both pineapples, though my aa died after a few weeks of use and I never sent it in to get fixed/replaced. The moonlight on that one was indeed awesome, as were the other modes. The mini is nice, but the color just isn't the same. I think I slightly prefer the light from my Thrunite TI3 V2 (which when I bought cost no more than these Nextorch penlights). The pineapple mini is prettier, and is very easy to operate one-handed unlike the Thrunite. I take the Thrunite camping because I'm not afraid to scuff it up. I misplaced it one night but it was on moonlight mode, spotted it glowing in the grass the next night.
Mainly I prefer the aspheric penlight for around the house because of how far it throws those couple lumens without being too dim or too bright. With a regular light I'd be switching between moonlight and low while trying to avoid high or that damned strobe mode.

I bought a 6-pack of those Primacare penlights, and have been edc-ing one around the house after sundown. The beam and brightness from a new one is very similar to that of the Nextorch, though even more beautifully yellow. I appreciate that the bulb is incandescent, as my eyes seem to get strained from LED lighting in general. The batteries (two aaa-type - I broke one apart but haven't figured out a good way to make a reusable flashlight with the parts) didn't last as long as I'd hoped, but runtime is respectable. It's much dimmer now, but should still be okay for getting me down the hall at night for a few more weeks. I switched back to my Nextorch for evening use and nighttime bathroom lighting, mainly I think because I got tired of the flimsy switch on the Primacare not consistently making contact, and no constant-on function without resorting to sliding a plastic sleeve over the switch.

I bought one from elsewhere with my name engraved. Pretty satisfied. Quality built, light weight and the pocket clip holds decently. Tail switch works well without any issue so far. Best thing is, it doesn't distort color of lesions. For instance, pretty useful when checking mucous membrane or cutaneous wounds.
