    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Today, I used my Raysoon Cree XR-E Warm (which actually replaced my Solarforce L2, believe it or not) to shine on a faraway spot on the gravel at my house because I didn't know if it was a snake or not. So far, this light has paid for itself many times over by size, battery life and weight. I...

    Solarforce L1200 replacement bulbs

    When I needed a replacement bulb for my firethrower, i just bit the bullet and bought the solarforce brand bulb. I paid quite a bit for the two that i purchased, but since one blew and I replaced the other over a year ago, I still have one in storage for a later date. I'd have to look at the...

    I love incandescent flashlight much more than LED flashlights,how about you?

    I really dig incandescent lights, if not more, than led lighting. I use incan at work, mostly for being able to see things better and make out objects in the yellow-tinged hue that an incandescent can produce. While I also enjoy led, the warm tinted ones are by far my favorite, simply because...

    What do people do with their lasers?

    I've got several I've collected over the years, I use them for a wide array of things: My <5mw lasers are used to entertain the cats, point things out in presentations, and stuff like that. The <100mw green, red violet ones are used to point in long distances: "see that rock on that mountain...

    FAA to impose civil penalties

    Just my two cents, but this should have been imposed years ago, back when high-powered devices first sprang into popularity and became widely available. People may argue that an accidental 'lasing' of an aircraft may have been user error and should be taken into consideration when the FAA or...

    Is a 5mw laser hack really possible?

    I agree with the others in saying that while it can be possible, the pot-modding of a diode can cut the lifespan of it drastically. If it's a cheap laser and you want the experience then I say go for it, but if it's one that is a higher end (or higher cost) model then I would personally keep it...

    Wicked Lasers 445nm <1W Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

    Mine came in a couple weeks ago, hence my absence from here. I have no complaints so far, other than having to wear the goggles while I burn stuff. (But you know, for purely scientific purposes 100% of the time:sssh:)

    Tactical Green Laser wanted

    For those green fans...have you ever checked out the K-15 laser that Laserlyte makes? I'm putting it on my AR when my silencer gets approved. It's only 5mw, but being green, I don't see much use for class IIIB anyways. I'm a big fan of the shape because it can be mounted on the top rail and...

    Night Owl "Explorer" NOCX3

    Not for sure if it is normal to hear a buzzing sound or not, because I hear it in my Russian-marked gen.1 I got from Harbor Freight back about 6-8 years ago. My guess is it's the sound of the electronics having current shot through them. Mine makes a semi-high pitched whistle when I press the...
