    $13 Duramax

    I never had any conclusive way to measure brightness or throw but it seemed at least twice as bright on a LiON. What happened was the pill got very hot and began flickering after about a minute and the tint browned. The light still works on alkaline although dimmer than it ever was.

    $13 Duramax

    I recently bough another Duramax at AutoZone. I somewhat fried my last one with a LiON Cell. I had used the clip of the duramax on my Fenix E11 which worked great and never came off, unfortunately I lost the Fenix bike riding. So I picked up another Duramax for the clip to use when I get another...

    Did your childhood obsession with flashlights originate with this guy?

    I used to always clip it to the bill of my hat. It also came with a headband to be worn as a headlamp. But it is not really whopping, the VersaBrite II is whopping.

    Did your childhood obsession with flashlights originate with this guy?

    No. My childhood obsession began with the pelican versabrite. I remember using it many times while camping out on the beach. It puts out a whopping 7 lumens. I still have it and a spare lamp, strangely you can still find them for sale.

    3x XM-L Flashlight

    I would Also suggest the DRY 3 XML. I love mine unfortunately the WW version is no longer in stock however the NW is still fairly warm. It seems the latest version upped the lumens rating from 2000-2500 to 3000 lumens though I don't know if anything has changed. The new version does appear to...

    Vote - What is your favorite form factor?

    My favorite is the 9P form factor, 3 x cr123 and P90, most comfortable to hold and use IMO. However 3x anything is not the most practical. If it had to be a pocketable light, then 1AA with forward clicky.

    $13 Duramax

    Re: $13 Duramax at Autozone Well I tried this light at 3V and it worked great, much brighter. I then tried a 4.2V Lion and it was not any brighter than the 3V but it heated up very quickly and started to melt down. So this light wont handle lion batteries but I may bore it out to run on cr123...

    Want amber led that will mimic the color of HPS lamp?

    I would love to have an HPS LED. Personally I will be bummed when HPS are phased out.

    $13 Duramax

    Re: $13 Duramax at Autozone I bought one of these lights today to put the clip onto my Fenix E11. The clip works great on the Fenix. However this Duramax light out throws both my Fenix E11 and Nitecore EZAA while having a more neutral tint. Does anyone know if this light will run on a lion cell?

    LED flashlight for boat

    My favorite light out on the boat is a large spotlight that plugs into the cigarete lighter. When in the fog I needed all of the throw. I think a light like a TK41 will still scatter too much light. So when it comes to fog there is no replacing a good halogen spot light.

    Importance of light reliability

    Take pictures next time and post them. My surefire 6p with malkoff drop in is my go to light. It has never failed me. I use my nitecore EZAA as a backup.
