[Beamshot! That’s it in the middle of the bag. Edit: This is candy collected on Halloween holiday in the US.]

RGB mode for most of the walking around and neighbor chatting. Spotlight for when a car comes or when we need to light up a dark candy bowl. Warm CCT lantern for water breaks, eating from and examing the stash.

RGB mode needs memory lol…maybe that’s a feature, haven’t studied the manual.

Little awkward to cary all night, especially in a costume, but not too bad. The grooves actually made it ‘fidgety.’

Will definitely be taking this one out again next year.

The lantern mode doesn't melt the candy?

But then again maybe I'm underestimating the temperature there, as I am a south east Asian that haven't live in winter since 13 years ago (studied abroad in a 4 seasons country)

The TS27 continues to interest me. On top of the BLF1 lantern (I think) I'm wanting to get this one too (someday).

No, the lantern modes run cool to the touch. I just put the light in the candy bag to make a strange picture; we didn’t have it inside the bag when we were trick-or-treating.

Nice. Would've made a cool glowing candy bag

The lantern is pretty cool tbh. Their little clip light has also become one of my favorites.

Pringles? Baby potatoes? Glow sticks??

Nice walkie talkie too, looks like you guys were prepared.

The potatoes definitely were weird. I figured I was out of the loop on some pop culture reference, but maybe just a neighbor with a weird sense of humor.

Radio is a Tidradio H3 with Signal Stick antenna. Used it on GMRS with my kid on his walkie talkie out and about in the hood.
