  • Sorry, trying to follow here. Three locations: front door, kitchen and living room. 4 detectors: original front door, new front door, kitchen and living room?

    Original front door went off in situ and in the living room while holding it?

    New front door went off at front door. Swapped NFD with living room - NFD went off in living room.

    Moved NFD to kitchen and it went off in there too?

    Where are the K and LV detectors now? Have any of those gone off anywhere in the house? Are THEY functional? (Sorry if you already said, I’m trying to piece the bits together and mighta missed that)

    Parametrek runs an awesome site for flashlight selections. http://flashlights.parametrek.com/index.html. They’re super knowledgeable and I have found it to be an invaluable resource for identifying options based on your selected parameters. I agree high CRI, rechargeable headlamp is a great option. Rechargeable means you don’t need to worry about specialty batteries and chargers which accompany many of the higher quality enthusiast flashlights available. It might still have a different battery than you’re used to but you can charge it in situ.

    FWIW if you do want to just rubber band something to your glasses wing, there is a Lumintop IYP365 (In Your Pocket 365 days a year) it has a high CRI Nichia LED option which is great quality and runs on standard batteries - Eneloop rechargeables are a great option. I read feedback from people who use it as an inspection light in the aircraft industry and their feedback on the colour quality of the light sold me. It’s like a medical quality pocket light where the way colours appear while under illumination is obviously critical - just doesn’t have the M.D. price tag.
