    Recommend me a single AA flashlight

    FYI: They aren't designed with any 'extra' length. I use these in D25s, and they fit great. It is now a non-issue for me (for now). My springs are happy: https://www.nitecorestore.com/Nitecore-NL1475R-Battery-p/bat-14500-nite-nl1475r.htm

    Help me choose an LED . . . and maybe a flashlight!

    Have you ever lived with a cat for any length of time?

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    Speaking of Keeppower, I've noted that they release new cells with unusually high frequency, and are very popular amongst the CPF gang. My only question is why availability is so extremely limited in the U.S. I pulled up their global distributor map, and it shows but one red dot in the U.S...

    Emisar D3AA, custom Triple w new AA/14500 driver w NoPWM

    I'm gonna defend my life in a tactical situation with a complex software-operated flashlight.... Not when pigs fly, but when they break the sound barrier :)

    Possible Early 1900's Eveready Daylo

    That seems like a refreshingly direct and appropriate form of justice back then that seems to be lacking these days;-)

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I have one and imagine you'll like it. I carried mine one night to take the trash out and liked it (which wasn't a proper test), but it hasn't been outside since. I need to find an appropriate body etc. which better meets my needs than the one I currently have. I wasn't planning a 'project...

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    One little detail to keep in mind if it's a 2020 vs DS-HL decision for some buyers is subjective, but could be a priority for some. If you're primarily an under-hand / garden hose grip, side switch user, with the 2020 you'll have a fantastic way of setting / changing the output level; maybe...

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    @ABTOMAT If you keep this up, SL's going to make you a job offer in their Product Test Dept :-)

    True 1.5v AA and AAA batteries

    I'm not currently in the market, but this is good info to know, and I'm sure it ain't in the specs;-) Thanx.

    E-Series head options?

    I know nothing of the subject matter, that was very succinct;-)

    Help me choose an LED . . . and maybe a flashlight!

    Me too;-) OK, I'll put it this way. If you forced me at gunpoint to pick only one and throw the rest in a dumpster..... I think I'd probably stick the 519A 4500K in my pocket and drive off, although I know I'd be missing that sst20;-)

    Is my 18650 dead?

    Gotcha. That's exactly why I had this qualifier on the description of my experiences Yours didn't die while operating, but rather it worked one time, then when turned on the next time, failed. I didn't know that. That doesn't necessarily mean that the cell's over-discharge cutoff wasn't...

    Is my 18650 dead?

    That's a whole different animal (compared with my experience(s)), and frankly sounds a little scary to me. I'm not sure I've ever heard a story like that. I agree and I would retire those too. For that matter, I'm not even sure I'd trust the flashlight at this point! Either the cells or the...

    Is this flashlight any good?

    Sadly, flashlights are becoming a lot like those toaster ovens. In 2024, cheap sells. Period.

    Modern Battery Options for Maglite Halogen MagCharger

    I haven't followed this, but if it involves an electrical connection point of any kind, un-plated/(bare) Al should be avoided like the plague. Nickel plated anything is usually cool. Speaking of cool, and just by the way, if one ever has very hi-temp electrical hardware applications...
