    Show your Solarforce

    Sorry for hijacking the thread for a minute, but figured this is where most Solarforce owners hang out. I've searched everywhere and have yet to find reviews on the new M8 or M6. Currently own a Skyline I and want to upgrade. Anyone know where I can look for user opinions/reviews? I promise...

    Cellphone as a Flashlight

    I have a Nokia E73 Mode. It has the flashlight function built in for the camera light. No need to download an app for it. When the phone lock is on, the keyboard space bar functions as the flashlight switch. Haven't had to use it yet - always carry my EDC on my belt.

    Miners trapped in Chile...... for a looong time!

    Those were donated by the company. One news website even had a poll as to the appropriateness of Oakley taking advantage of the free advertising. They were probably just pissed that they didn't think of the idea first.

    Miners trapped in Chile...... for a looong time!

    That's what I thought while watching the rescue last night. They then interviewed a US mining rep. She said that this rescue was so unprecedented (time and distance underground), that the planning and efforts could be compared to a "moon landing". At this distance below the surface, every...

    Nite-Ize Lite Holster Universal STRETCH

    Just received my holster a couple of days ago. I'm carrying my Solarforce Skyline I in it (sits pretty high - almost too high). Pretty good holster for the price except for one major negative. It is virtually impossible to clip it on or off a belt using just one hand. The only fast way is to...

    Consumer Li-Ion "cradle" charger roundup...

    OK - since this thread is call a "Consumer" roundup, I was hoping to find some reviews/tests written on a consumer level. I am considering the XTAR charger but so far most of the reviews/tests are currently over my head (still trying to ramp up my knowledge here). Is it a good/great charger...

    Beware The Anal Factor When Choosing A Budget Light

    Same here - and what's the first thing I did while reading this thread - test my paltry collection to see who rattles and who doesn't :popcorn:

    Solarforce Skyline Driving Impressions Ø HEAVY GRAPHICS Ø

    I had zero trouble unscrewing mine by hand either. Also the body of mine unscrews from the head. Does that mean an extension (and a 2nd 18650) could be installed? And since I'm here - does anyone know if you can use the new AW 2600mAh button-less 18650's in the Skyline I?

    Generic Eneloops?

    And you can get the same Eneloop package that Costco is selling (8xAA, 2xAAA, charger) for less at Battery Junction.
