    *** Southern Ontario BeamShoot / Flashlight BBQ interest ? ***

    Just noticed this threa, and I'm definitely interested as well. As with Matrix 100, my collection is pretty modest, but I always enjoy meetups! With regards to Hilton Falls that someone suggested, that could be risky as the park technically closes at dusk, and I've tried to go later at night...

    Sold/Expired WTB Nitecore D10

    WTB Nitecore D10 [FOUND!] I'm kicking myself for leaving my D10 in a hotel room while traveling over Christmas :(, so now I'm looking to replace it. I don't care which software version it's running, or if it has a bit of wear, but I do want a D10, not D11. If anyone's got one with a tritium...

    brightness of 3H and other GID

    I tried the posted PDF with one of (these) 2Ci trit markers. Without night adapted eyes, but holding it close (~1cm from the sheet) I could make out column 9 from rows 1-4, column 8 from rows 5-8 and column 7 from row 9. The test is still a little subjective (to eyesight, printer, etc.), but...

    New D10 sp

    Re: Nitecore D10 14500 question I'd venture a lot of manufacturers produce them for use in battery packs and not to be sold directly to the public. That said, any manufacturers and most retailers that carry unprotected li-ions do so with the assumption that people buying them will know their...

    Crank light with capacitor

    +1 I hope someone can answer this. My understanding is that standard electrolytic capacitors could theoretically last indefinitely if not exposed to temperatures that would cause degradation to the electrode/electrolyte interface. I don't understand the electron-level workings of a...

    Is It Just Me Or... (giving flashlights as presents)

    I've only given two lights as presents to date. I gave a small light to a friend before he went on a trip to India. By the time he came back, he was VERY thankful to have had it. I also gave a Fenix L1P to my sister a few years back. It didn't have the instant appeal of a more feminine gift...

    Where do you keep your flashlights?

    Most are either in my home BOB, car BOB, dresser or backpack.

    Can't use Nitecore D10 with rechargeables?

    This has held true in my experience. I use it exclusively with NiMH. Mine runs just over an hour until a significant drop in output.

    Do Skunks smell bad?

    Thanks to everyone for the opinions. I suspected intensity might play a key factor, but it's interesting to see a few that don't mind a mild dose.

    The NiMH AA Cell Capacity War is Over - Energizer Wins?

    Re: The NiMH AA Cell Capacity War is Over - Energizer Wins...? I fully admit that remembering (and finding) all the devices I have NiMH's in and recharging them every couple months (6 is optimistic in my experience) is too much work for me...
