    Lamp options for Surefire M4 Devastator

    I managed to use MN10 with a pair of 16650 batteries. Not too bright, but does the job. @fivemega Can you recommend me a bi-pin adapter? Thanks.

    Lamp options for Surefire M4 Devastator

    I have a nice M4 sitting around w/o the lamp. The MN60 are almost unobtanium, and Lumens Factory has the M3T (LED) and the incan lamp available. I wish to keep the body/head intact, so Malkoff isn't an option. I will prefer an incan lamp, but am open to considering an LED module too. Apart from...

    HDS Systems #23

    Cool. I think HDS is the only company that states 200 lm "calibrated" lumen output. Except for a handful of quality brands, most output lumens are inflated and purely a marketing gimmick. A friend recently got into flashlights, and as always is chasing lumens for now. He cannot fathom why I...

    *NEW* Surefire Titan-A (1*AAA, 15/125 lumen)

    I have to apologize for this three level red herring, it does not do three, but as described, two levels. The other like, OTOH, is temperamental and will do one, two, or even one-two modes (basically switch modes rapidly when turned on and settle on the last mode). That said, the temperamental...

    *NEW* Surefire Titan-A (1*AAA, 15/125 lumen)

    I realize this is an old thread, but a discussion today with a good friend about Titan-A brought me here... and obviously, I do have some questions that haven't been answered: My Titan-A displays 3 levels, medium, low and high. Now, I cannot find any literature that states it had 3 levels... so...

    Fake E1e?

    As @thermal guy said, it is a very early model, and very sought after. Beautiful!

    Peak Eiger batteries

    NiMH mostly for me for regular duty. 10440, only when I have to wow someone. I have stopped using alkalines for the fear of leaks across the board. I love this Cu light!

    Mushy control-ring on Kroma-Milspec

    Figured I'll update the thread and bring it to logical closure. So I sent in the light to SureFire, and indeed they did tell me upfront that repair may be difficult since it has been discontinued. I responded back stating they should still look at it, and indicated willingness to accept it back...

    Where did the 1xAA lights go?

    14500 is not a commonly-used battery type - in fact, those outside the realm of cpf may not even have heard of 14500 (and other batteries that just have numbers in their name!). I am very fond of AA format, due to its availability and price. The only downside with using alkalines is their...

    Incan lamp options for for Surefire M4

    Recently, I came about a Surefire M4 with a non-working lamp. Being a longtime member of CPF, I figured it'd be trivial to find a replacement, however, it does not seem to be the case. Most importantly, I would like to keep the light "as-is", meaning no compatible heads or reflectors, nor any...

    Mushy control-ring on Kroma-Milspec

    This was the first time when SureFire responded back to me the same day evening with an RMA#. They also stated Kroma-Milspec is an older light and normal wear-and-tear is not covered, so it may be returned "as-is". I am not sure if this would be normal wear-and-tear, given the light does not...
