    Olight S15 Baton Review

    I know what it is, I was just seeing if you knew. Its a dwarf cavemdish but dont be fooled by the name, it grows to around 30' when fruiting when aloud to grow year round, it takes ~600 days to fruit (plants are just one of my many expertise) There are tons of kinds of banana, the DC is one of...

    Olight S15 Baton Review

    Nicely presented review. This light has so many nice features I don't know how I'll not buy one eventually. The deep carry clip is such a nice feature to be included instead of as an upgrade. Another very appealing feature to me is the moonlight mode access, the same as on my zebras. They...

    Quark Pro QP2A vs. QP2A-X maximum run times?

    Like -onahill mentioned the emitters are different, the XP-G2 runs at a slightly lower forward voltage than the XM-L(2). That's not the whole reason but I imagine it contributes some.

    Solder & magnetic tips questions

    The EU require all solder be lead-free. My advice would be to find someone here in North American who will send you a nice selection of lead solder for your future projects.

    Recommendation for lava tube "hiking"

    Make sure you take multiple lights with spare batteries for each, don't want to be stuck underground in a lava tube and have your light to down.

    advice wanted

    Check out ZebreLight headlamps. They offer several models that are flood only (with a bare emitter, no reflector) so they provide a perfectly even wide beam profile. I don't know your budget so they might be a little more than you expected (around $65) but I own 5 zebras (3 handheld, 2...

    Question about lego-ing Quarks

    thanks for that, like I said this one is my first (with 2nd on the way) and just lookin at foursevens site I didn't see all those options. Nice to know I can get exactly what I want.

    SC52W flashes when off

    Send it back for exchange, there's no way he broke it, he just got it yesterday. I would not accept a repair. (Plus it'll take WEEKS to send it to china for repair) your dealer should exchange it for you no questions.

    What's a Good, Cheap Voltage Meter?

    If you watch the circulars (adds) for the harbor freight add about every 3 weeks there will be a coupon for a free DMM. They give out them, gloves and a screw driver set in rotation so within the next month there will be a DMM one. I have a nice EXTech EX420 multi meter with all the bells and...

    Uses for a 3600 lumen light?

    Use for a 3600 lumen light? Lighting things up very brightly... sorry couldnt help myself. But honestly tho you ask what the average person is going to need a light like that, well they're not. Your every day flashlight user isn't going to buy such a light, the people that do buy it either...

    Nitecore EA4 Problems, fit and finish, flaws (take your poll here:)

    My ea4 is having a fatal problem. If it suffers just a small bump (about the force of a hand clap) it will shut down instantly and not come back on till I break electrical contact. Even the indicator light/locator beacon doesn't work.

    Zebralight SC52W - the best compact light I've experienced.

    Re: Zebralight SC52W - man, isn't this just about as good as a compact light gets? Ok guys to try to get back OT here I have a question for all you owners... how long after you fast click the button to turn yours off does it take to actually turn off? Mine takes .5-1 sec to turn off, I seem to...

    Cleaning Reflectors?

    Re: Reflector cleaning HELP! Best I've ever been able to do was by using a Q-tip very very lightly. I purchased (well traded) for a light that the guy had touched the reflector a d they tried to clean it off himself. I got it pretty damn good with a Q-tip but had it not been horrible to start...

    Good AA light

    There are several 2AA fenix models with decent throw for your price range, personally I only have an E21 (and I love it as a very simple and reliable general use/loaner light) but I believe the E25 would serve you well if you needed more modes. Being a loaner I went with the E21 cause its so...

    Question about lego-ing Quarks

    I'm not at all doubting you, this burst mode QP2L-X I have on loan right now is the first I've ever handled (I have a QT2L-X of my own on its way) but I don't see any difference between the tactical and turbo tail caps. I see under accesories the "boot kit" lists having 2 each of the pro and 2...
