    What happens in 5-10 years when you need a part for your LED light?

    Been there and done that with a Surefire 8NX Commander. No support for discontinued batteries, and I dont know it to be a fact, but I would say that replacement parts are probably getting hard to find. Mine is retired to the drawer in the garage. Just because they have a "big" name doesn't mean...

    Lumapower D Mini EX-2 quick review: Dont waste your money!

    Not to steal your thread, but i recently bought a LM-21 direct from LP. Right out of the mailer I noticed it had a broken lens and the LED worked for about 5 minutes before giving up the ghost. When I contacted them, they did say they would replace it, if I shipped it back to Hong Kong. Not...

    Assorted Drop In Question...

    Just wondering if I really need to wrap my drop ins with foil or copper tape. I have several Malkoff's and a couple of Solarforce. Had a G3 with a M91 give me problems yesterday after a tailcap switch (Z59). it was flickering and doing all kinds of crazy stuff. I did all the normal tightening...

    Lumapower EDC LM21...Very dissapointed

    I bought this directly from the Lumapower website. They even stated in their reply email the were not sure where I purchased it from, and this is after I gave them the PayPal transaction number. Im just going to cut my losses.

    Lumapower EDC LM21...Very dissapointed

    I did manage to contact them. I had include photos which somehow caused a glitch in the email. Anyway, they did offer to replace it, if I send it back to Hong Kong. By the time i fill out the Customs paperwork, package, insure , and ship the light I'm going to have another $10 to $15 invested. I...

    Do you still have a valid email address for them? Both that I tried at the website do not work.

    Lumapower EDC LM21...Very dissapointed

    After seeing these little lights, I thought that it should be very handy when I didnt wat to carry something bigger. Ordered direct from LP and recieved it today. Put a fresh AAA in and it worked for about 5 minutes. Its highest setting didnt equal the medium setting on my Preon. After it quit...

    Question about rechargeables.....

    I am wanting to go the rechargeable route for my CR123 lights. Afetr much reading and a little discussion, I have determined that I can use these in most of my lights, but everyone I have discussed it with has pointed out the dangers in making this move. I know I need to use protected cells (AW...

    Dazed and Confused....

    I understand about the ranges for the most part. Most of my SF's and Malkoff lights are running Malkoff M61 drop ins which can handle 3.4 to 9 volt. So I should be ok with them. My G3 has a M91 that can handle 6.5 to 12 volt. so thats kind of a grey area. Not sure about my HDS. All I know is it...

    Dazed and Confused....

    Please forgive the question as I have searched and still havent found the answer I am looking for. <br><br>I want to jump in to the world of rechargeable batteries for my lights. I use Eneloops and Powerex AA and AAA in all of my smaller lights and I am now ready to move up to the 123's. After...

    Solarforce L2-B6 bezel quality

    Ordered one of the cheaper ones from Lighthound and it was awful. Much worse the the OP's. Took another chance with the ones that are about $2 higher and they were all perfect. Didnt inquire about it with Lighthound. Im sure they would have replaced it though. Maybe the less expensive ones are...

    A reminder to never lend out lights...

    Should have stuck to your guns. No means NO. And why would you let him have it with the diffuser in place? Didnt you think that would be the first thing he tried to rip off of it? Thats why I carry a $2 keychain light attatched to my keys. Its the only "loaner" I have.

    Source for small robust split rings, and a nice short chain?

    I was looking for a chain a few weeks ago and came up with a solution. Go to where pet supplies are sold and look at the "choke chains'. I found one for very small dogs ( though why you need a choke chain for a small dog escapes me) and it worked very well. These are welded link chains so you...

    A flashlight brand you can REALLY trust ?

    I just got 3 new lights and I can honestly say I think I am done buying for quite awhile. Picked up a HDS 140 T, a Elzetta, and a Malkoff MD2. I had bought alot of inexpensive lights looking for the "one", but these 3 seem to have cured my craving for lights. They all have their proper place...
