    18650 weaponlight with good throw?

    I've had a really good experience when dealing with Armytek. I have the Predator, and my tailswitch had some issues making contact. I emailed Armytek and they sent out 2 replacement tailcaps. I never had to show them my receipt, and I never had to return the malfunctioning tailswitch...

    CR123 question

    If you are using disposable primary CR123A's in a single celled light, you can safely run them all the way down. No worries about over discharge when using a PRIMARY cr123a in a single-celled ​light.

    18650's help please?

    IlluminationGear. They give you a discount if you mention your cpf username. I've had them for 1-2 months, going strong. Good cells definitely won't drain so quick on standby, like you're experiencing. Mine stays at ~4.18 for as long as I need until I start using it.

    Klarus XT11 for EDC ... or can anyone recommend another option?

    500 lumens with an RCR123, but only about 20min run time. On a cr123a, its ~220 lumens, with 1hr+ runtime though.

    18650's help please?

    It is kind of difficult to understand at first, so I'll just start by recommending you the cells that I use. I use the Eagletac 3100 mAh 18650s, which you can get for $15 shipped, and these use the same premium Panasonic cells that all premium batteries have underneath the wrapper. After about...

    Review of / Measurement on Xtar WP2 II charger

    My Habor Freight ("Centech" brand) DMM has a .02v difference compared to my cottenpicker mini voltemeter. I thought mine was overcharging at first too. I guess it really depends on your DMM and how accurate it is.

    Detecting PWM with a camera phone

    Its pretty hard to look at the led itself without getting a headache. I can't imagine attempting to determine if High mode had PWM by doing this. I think the camera method is more methodical and accurate than say, waving your fingers or staring straight at an active emitter. Although, the...

    Haha that's awesome, how did you get your camera to catch that? My arms would probably get tired after a while..

    Detecting PWM with a camera phone

    I placed the camera directly on top of the light, aiming towards the emitter. I also checked my Quark mini 123, it has slight PWM on low and medium, but no visible PWM on high. Here is a picture of the RRT-0 with slight PWM. I wouldn't be surprised if any other magnetic control ring lights...

    Detecting PWM with a camera phone

    I put my camera right up to the light's lens, which is why the lines are showing throughout the screen. I also tried my RRT-0, it has much lighter ripples instead of solid black lines. I don't know how to interpret any of these results though.
