    New Olight M20S suspected driver issue. Looking for input!

    Slumber Pass, d337944, thanks alot for the info. I'm gonna read that review in a sec. I'm surprised at PWM on high, and even more surprised that this light is so apparently underpowered vs the stated spec. Beam profile matters of course, but we're talking a supposed 40% more output, which should...

    New Olight M20S suspected driver issue. Looking for input!

    Hey guys, I just got a new Olight M20S in from black friday. I was really liking the light, till I popped in a 18650 and compared it to my Quark Turbo 123^2. Quark Turbo spec output = 230lm Olight spec output = 320lm When I compared the two, my Quark Turbo looks just about the same. This...

    Mini-z racer equipped with led lights

    Lol that's cool. I remember when I had a few Xmods from Radioshack, which are like cheap Mini-z kinda. They had a led kit for the headlights and tails. It was awesome. I hooked up my own green leds inside the body too. They shined almost horizontally under the body to give a "neon" effect. All...

    Why are we paying so much for SureFire flashlights?

    And we as a community are none of these people, although there definitely are some of them amongst us (thank you for your service!). For people like this, I can easily see why it would be worth the price for additional assurance that the tool you need will work how you intend it to when the time...

    Amazing Green Laser Review! Awesome Beam! Cheap!

    I'm glad you're enjoying your bg laser. I bought from them once and never will again. I too bought a 50mW, although a different model. It ended up about the same brightness as the random 5mWs you see on dx etc, so I was approved for a return, at my expense. Oh well, better to pay shipping than...

    Cubomania!

    I've always loved the Cube. It's so cool looking, and unique. I love SS lights for novelty cause of the heft. I hope to get one sooner or later but finances prevent that from happening currently.

    New Toys!

    Really like the tint on the Cube. I've wanted a Cube since they were using XR-Es! The design just looks really cool to me. And the solid SS bar thing is great. I love the feel of a SS light. Practical - no. Awesome - yes :thumbsup:

    AW vs Ultrafire 14500?

    Not all whateverfires are gonna go boom. Most will not. However there's no doubt that QC is not as dependable, and there's probably a higher risk of them going boom. Whether you take that risk or not is your choice. I personally have only had ****fire batteries so far, and haven't had any...

    Help choosing a 4Sevens Quark

    I actually had this exact same dilemma! I started out with a regular Quark 123^2, which has the same beam profile, just different UI. When I got it though, I was underwhelmed with the "punch" of the light. It just wasn't enough throw for me. So I then proceeded to debate for a week or two if I...

    Green LEDs

    No problem. There's no dumb questions. LEDs need a current controlling driver. It's basically a transformer that converts the power coming in, say 8.4v from two batteries, to the proper voltage for the LED. It also regulates the current(amperage) going to the LED. Without a driver or at least a...

    Light failures thread

    Just received a Xeno E03, CW in blue. It won't run off a NiMH AA period, and it's only drawing about 750mA from 14500 vs the intended 1.5A. Being promptly taken care of by the seller though :thumbsup: By the way, it seems I have the first semi-DOA E03 reported. I must be special :ohgeez:
