    Where to buy Sipik SK68 Single mode flashlights?

    I really like the single AA Sipik SK68 flashlights, and have a bunch of them, in the single mode model. I wanted to buy some more, but noticed that everyone seems to be selling the three mode or five mode version. I think it would be a pain to have to cycle through three or five modes every time...

    Foursevens Mini Mark II

    Just got the rainbow ti version, and while it's beautiful, am having some thread issues. The threads are really grindy, and I can not turn in with one hand. Also, because they are so stiff, I can't change the modes reliably. Any ideas on how to fix, or is it a lost cause?

    Smallest single 18650 flashlight (inexpensive)

    Can I convert a 2 AA flashlite to a 2 123 lite?

    Hi, I've got the Everled, and I am thinking of converting a small Dorcy 2 AA flashlite to use 2 CR123 lithiums instead. Can I do this? I think the total length will be a little long, but I am hoping that the internal spring will take up the difference. I just have to figure out how to file down...

    Ideas for the Best Bicycle Light in the World!???

    A couple of questions. If I wanted the equivalent of a 15 Watt halogen, how many of the five Watt Luxeons or the one Watt Luxeons would I need to use? Are these even available commercially yet? What is involved in building such a thing? Do I need to create some sort of circuit or can I just...
