[LOL] Everyone's excited for the M44 and I'm just sitting here with my 12 emitter blue Phovia hand canon.

It reduces the time needed for wounds to heal. We combine the blue light from the LEDs with a chromophore gel that creates specific wavelengths of light. Those wavelengths stimulate and deliver energy to exposed skin which results in increased cellular metabolism. It's similar to cold laser therapy but lower overall energy so it doesn't penetrate as far into the body.

Best flashlight?

The best flashlight is the one that you will use instead of using your cellphone.

I got my lady a Convoy S2+ for her to use at work. Come to find out a few months later she still always uses her phones light even when out in pastures after dark 😮‍💨.

So even a cheap AA light is better than the brightest D4S if the former is in your pocket and the latter stays in a bag or purse all the time.

Found out there's probably nowhere to go on night hikes in my county :(

Okay, true story. We had a meetup of flashlight nerds at a state park with a lake. This was the third or fourth time. Apparently the park closes at sundown but we never had an issue and I for one never saw that rule posted anywhere. But this time two police SUVs roll up on us. When they asked what we were doing and we all answered something along the lines of "showing off our flashlights!" they were flumaxed. It took handing them a GT90 before they believed us. In the end they let us stay for as long as we wanted because we were being respectful of where we were and nobody who's up to no good would use "flashlight meetup" as a cover story.

I don't think that story will help you out but hopefully picturing that interaction makes you chuckle and I wish you all the best in your nighttime hikes.
