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

    I just ordered a ZebraLight SC80C. I am a sucker for high CRI lights. This light especially appealed to me because of the side clicky, the versatility of being able to use a number of different batteries, including AA, CR123, as well as lithium rechargables. It is a single cell light with a...

    Turns out I love high CRI

    Sometimes having a high CRI light is not just a matter of esthetics. It is a matter of necessity. For example, using conventional LED penlights for medical use is generally problematic, especially when trying to look at mucosal inflammation. Most LED's exaggerate the blue portion of the...

    best single cr123 for $100 or less

    My favorite is the LiteFlux LF3XT. It gives you even more output options than the Novatacs and Ra Clicky's, The LF3XT has a smooth beam and 2 user interfaces to choose from.. It will cost you only about $62. Not only that, but there is a 2xAA tube extension optional accessory, if you want...

    ITP SC1 Eluma...CR123A or RCR123A?

    Once you turn on the light with the tail switch, you use the side switch near the head of the light to adjust your light levels. You start in the last used mode which is retained in memory. If, say, that is low, you click the side switch twice to go from low to medium and then to high. The next...

    ITP SC1 Eluma...CR123A or RCR123A?

    Remember that the SC1 Eluma was marketed and designed as a Tactical light.* (Whether it would actually be used in that way is questionable, similar to most people owning diving watches and never diving) Still, as a Tactical light, you DON'T want the strobe function to come on at anything but its...

    ITP SC1 Eluma...CR123A or RCR123A?

    TooManyGizmos, thank you and your wife for comparing the SA1 and SC1's brightness at the same time. I only have the one SA1 so when I looked at its brightness with an Eneloop or a Lithium rechargable, I had to switch batteries. My memory being brief, I can't tell the difference in brightness. I...

    ITP SC1 Eluma...CR123A or RCR123A?

    I have the ITP SA1 Eluma, the AA brother of the SC1. I love this light, but I don't think it or the SC1 will be easily an EDC light, unless you use the sheath to carry it. Not only are they both a bit big, the clip opening faces the tail of the light which makes it difficult to carry in your...

    Enlighten me - Liteflux LF2 vs LF5

    You won't lose the settings, no matter how long the batteries are left out.

    Enlighten me - Liteflux LF2 vs LF5

    My most used light is the LF2XT. Like you, I use the low mode most of the time and the LF2XT has a very low low, lower than the current LF5XT. In terms of carriability, the LF2XT is easy to carry whether on a key chain or with a pocket clip. I carry them both ways with two of them with me most...

    LF3XT+AA TUBE+14500+Dummy Cell

    Since you are using a dummy cell, it appears you are aware that you can't use 2-14500 cells with the LF3XT head. However, I would, instead, recommend using 2 NIMH cells with the tube. The major advantage of using the 2xAA tube is the potentially longer battery life you might get with 2 NIMH...

    Explanation of Liteflux LF2XT

    Once you get the flashlight in your hands, the instructions become much simpler, since you will be taking in and doing only one step at a time. I agree with you that flow diagrams are overwhelming if you are just getting started. However, use the written directions that come with the light in...

    LiteFlux LF3XT 2xAA Battery Tube and Replacement Tailcap with Clip Review: RUNTIMES+

    The difference in the better runtime with the 2xAA vs the CR123 is most impressive with the L91 cells when the light is at Max. I am rather surprised there isn't much of a runtime difference when the light is run at 50 percent output; the runtimes are not signficantly different between two...

    LiteFlux LF3XT 2xAA Battery Tube and Replacement Tailcap with Clip Review: RUNTIMES+

    I guess my hands aren't strong enough to get the kind of leverage I needed to tighten down the tailswitch using the special tool. I had to use a 6 inch Crescent style adjustable wrench. I was suruprised how well the wrech worked with less slipping than I had with the provided tool.

    LiteFlux LF3XT 2xAA Battery Tube and Replacement Tailcap with Clip Review: RUNTIMES+

    Thanks for your great review! You really don't need to bend the clip outward in order to install it on the original 3XT. Yes the clip tends to slide out of the groove as you tighten down the tail piece. But if you use a jeweler's screw driver, you can gently force the clip into its groove...

    How was the original Nitecore Defender Infinity NDI circuit changed?

    With the introduction of the GD version of the NDI, Nitecore introduced the the same type of floating ring contact area as found in the EX10, D-10. I am not sure why Nitecore did that except perhaps to lessen the wear on the contacts that would occur with repetitive tightening and loosening of...
