    Holster for Surefire Aviator?

    Anyone know of a good holster for a Surefire Aviator? Kydex would be nice but a nylon pouch would be okay.

    Amber Apparent Brightness Question

    I am making a decision on one of two LED lights for my bicycle, both amber LED. One is 400 lumens, the other 150 lumens. But . . . am I correct that the human eyeball is more or less logarithmic in its sensitivity to light? That would mean the dimmer is. . . log(150) / log(400) = 84% as...

    FoxFury BT3 and Rechargeables?

    I got a BT3 after all, so thought I'd do a mini-review about it: OVERALL: I like it a lot. It's a specialized, ultra-durable, ultra-thrower, and a really bright flashlight. USABILITY: Very bright and easy to use. Being an angle-head, you can set it on its base to work with both hands. It is...

    FoxFury BT3 and Rechargeables?

    I'm looking for a high-output thrower and have been looking at the FoxFury BT3: http://www.foxfury.com/catalog/products/lights-by-series/breakthrough-series/breakthrough-bt3-led-right-angle-light-orange-exterior But . . . I understand it maybe does not work with rechargeable AAs, the problem...

    Just Received The New Photon Proton

    My light is 94mm long, which I guess puts it in the more recent body category. Something I never have understood is the blinking when you turn it on and off. If I push and hold, there is a little blink that affects all the LEDs, then a 1 second delay before the red LED comes on and starts to...

    Just Received The New Photon Proton

    I ordered one last October when they were on sale, but had to wait until something like April to actually take delivery. After that I know there were issues with the actual manufacturer, and they were in short supply. I lost track after April, having not spent much time on CPF since then...

    How does this light compare to those which were sold around April of this year? Scott

    Ultraviolet LEDs and Eye Safety?

    Well, she is 4, i.e., she cannot yet read, and the light will be in a package to them all as part of a housewarming gift. So the whole thing will be guaranteed parental control. The situation I fear is a little like when people find out their drinking water comes in an asbestos cement pipe...

    Ultraviolet LEDs and Eye Safety?

    That's a scam. It's like when you take your car in for a checkup and a month later you have all these mechanical problems. Problems which require the services of the mechanic. The doctor was frying your eyes so you'd be back, in need of more services. Just kidding. :) :) :) :) Scott

    Ultraviolet LEDs and Eye Safety?

    There has been discussion here about the alleged dangers of blue light as well. The opinion of the professionals was that, in the doses relevant to flashlights, it is a complete non-issue. I suspect that a UV Photon is about as safe as you can get with a UV light source. They are shielded...

    Ultraviolet LEDs and Eye Safety?

    Hi Guys, I am sure this has been discussed before, but I'll be darned if I can find it. I am contemplating sending my niece "secret notes" on the backs of letters using UV-flourescent invisible ink (Noodler's Blue Ghost ink). I will be sending a UV Photon with my lext letter. Before I do...

    Revisiting the Proton

    I have one from 2007, use it all the time. It would be nice to have one with exactly the same interface as the Freedom microlight, but I would not want to lose the red capability. I use red almost as much as white. Scott

    SUREFIRE CREE LIGHTS AVAILABLE IN JULY

    For example, the current L1 is something like 1 lumen for 80 hours or 15 lumens for 1 hour. The new one will be on the order of 10 lumens for several hours or 65 lumens for 1 hour. (I am just recalling these from memory.) If you order an L1 expecting the new one, and instead get the old one...
