    HID Recomendations?

    Hi everyone, I haven't been here on CPF for a while but yesterday a friend asked me about a light that he could spot possible thieves on his farm up to 1000 feet away. I told him he's probably looking for an HID spotlight but I'm not sure which one would be best for him. I don't think he wants...

    Bulkware Collections

    Re: My Bulkware Collection Nice collection you have there. Its good to see that your light arrived safely and you are happy with it. Did you shine it up at all? It looks a bit shinier than I remember it, could be the lighting. :twothumbs

    McE2S for C/M bodies - prototype evaluated !!!

    Re: New prototype switch arrived !!! Is it a newer G2 with LOTC (lock out tailcap)? If so then I have no idea why it wouldn't work.

    McE2S for C/M bodies - prototype evaluated !!!

    Re: New prototype switch arrived !!! I'm not sure what size resistor you want but I think you need the assembled switch. The kit only works with the old style tailcap (the one you can't lockout) that isn't riveted together.

    Why do you buy?

    Another reason to buy a Surfire other than ruggedness and brightness is the hassle free warranty. If anything ever breaks just give them a call and they'll fix it for free

    Simplifying my obsession...anyone else?

    I have a bunch of surefires. 95% of the time I am EDC'ing my Kroma and it has worked for me. I find that the Kroma is reliable enough that there is no need to carry a backup light.

    I'd try a 17670 first

    Cree or Rebel?

    Which one is better? Is there any difference? I haven't been to CPF for a while so I'm just trying to catch up on a few things. Thanks, Clint

    Sold/Expired (CLOSED) Strion Bi-Pin bulb socket for A2

    I managed to buy one of these sockets from a CPF'er and I use r123's almost exclusively along with an Aviatrix ring. The bi pin kit is just as safe to use with R123's as the standard bulb, any bulb gets the same voltage whether you are using lithium primaries or a 12v car battery (If I...

    Who has the best CR123A deal?

    On ebay I used to get "Great Power" batteries for just under $50 for 50 including shipping, I've had good luck with the Great Power batteries. It looks like now they are selling Golston 123's for a bit more but I've never used Golston so I couldn't say how good they are. Good luck!

    Sold/Expired Aviatrix Update - All buyers and interested members please read!

    I just got my Aviatrix today and I am loving it. When you offer the 3-stage upgrades will you also be able to also swap the low LED with one of a different color (Red with deep red)?

    Bay Area get together for television program

    The show made me feel like I should stop buying flashlights and batteries because I am destroying the environment... Thank you Tigerhawk for uploading the video, I made a DVD just to show my family there are other "crazy flashlight people" out there.
