Alt text: Image of the character James Holden with a flashlight in S04 E7 "A Shot in the Dark" of The Expanse.

Hello all - hoping to find out if this is a real flashlight or not. In season 4 episode 7 of "The Expanse" James Holden has a flashlight that toggles between a normal light and UV (seen below).

I know often props are just props, but was curious if this was available as a real light.

Not the kind of flashlight you forget somewhere.

A quick search brings up a FoxFury Hammerhead series of flashlights. They have a bunch of configurations for available lights.

I see you are a person of culture

Such a good series - both the books and show too, which isn't common.

Truly. The only artwork I've considered adding to my tattoo collection (so far, only custom pieces). Hell, the closest I've ever come to actually getting a neck piece would be a Belter tattoo.

I’ve finally started watching it, after hearing good things about it for years. I just finished the first season. Good stuff!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Very nice! I'm excited for you - I'd love to be able to go back and watch the show for the first time again.

You'll have to let me know if you continue to enjoy the show!

The show is OK but enjoyable.

The books are out of this world gold sci Fi. Yes, I'll own the pun.
