    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    If they got rid of the Strion 2020's moving element and made it a solid switch like the Strion DS it wouldn't have the problem. If this isn't just a me-issue I assume they'll improve it at some point. I mean the light basically works fine so I don't want to stop anyone from getting one, but...

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    Many conversations with different people at Streamlight over the last week. They're extremely responsive and I've only had very positive interactions with them, but I don't think there's a resolution with my Strion 2020 issue. Key points: -It has a separate part free under the switch cover...

    Is this flashlight any good?

    I'm still surprised a company that sells the kind of stuff guys used to hawk out of their jackets on the NYC subway managed to buy Super Bowl ads. I know people IRL who buy things from Temu, it turns out to be trash, and they buy more because they think next time it'll be different. Why yes, I'm...

    Do we have any members ~1hr north of Tampa?

    Trying to buy something small about an hour north of Tampa, FL. I think the seller thought I was a scammer when I asked if they could ship. If we have anyone in that neighborhood who could pickup for me you'll get a free Surefire and I'll handle the rest.

    Peak Performance Incan Lights?

    I think peak incan was around 2005. After that LEDs took over so quickly nobody kept developing them. M6, Magcharger, and SL-20X were all fairly bright stock and you could easily get upgrade bulbs for them. Mag's was unofficial but it still worked well. People also forget the Tiger Light. Think...

    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    If you've unscrewed the hex screw in the switch button it won't work. Make sure that's gently tightened down if you're able to. The Mag switch assembly is extremely reliable and doesn't often fail unless battery leakage is involved. Even then typically works. Some C-cell models can have the...

    Cheap 18650s from Temu. Reviews?

    I'd be skeptical of anything from Temu, not just batteries. It's the most generic stuff you can imagine. A guy gave me a green laser a while back with an "18650" battery in it, but the battery weighs nothing and feels mostly empty. I should cut it open and see what's in there.

    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    As long as you can get that setscrew out and unscrew the retaining ring there's nothing stopping you from taking those switches out, but unless they need repair there's no point. Nobody makes modules that replace the entire switch. I would suggest not trying to mod the 5C (that is a 5--if you...

    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    Most incandescent Mag-Lites used PR-base flanged bulbs; newer ones use small bi-pin bulbs. Magchargers specifically used large bi-pin halogen bulbs. There are a lot of LED drop-ins for the PR bulb models, maybe one for the Magchargers. I haven't seen a conversion for the newer bi-pin incan...

    Do Flashlights get dimmer with age?

    LED street lights often dim or color shift as they get older. Of course you're not running your flashlight 12 hours a day.

    G2BK, G3, 6P LED, and C3 are gone. Others still available. Open to offers and trades. I don't know the history of the names but Surefire renamed the M6 a few times over its run. I think Magnumlight predated this one.
