    Decent throw from 2 x 18650 or 26650 format

    A 26650 based light can easily exceed your existing light's lumens and throw. Consider lights like the Acebeam EC60, Manker U21, Olight R50 and its variations, or Acebeam EC50 Gen II.

    Need suggestions for edc flashlight!!

    The Coast HP1 at around $10 would be good to try. Simple tailcap forward clicky single mode zoomy. I've given some away and they are appreciated. They are like a high quality version of those cheap foreign zoomies.

    Car Projector Headlamp.

    Hello, and welcome to CPF. This subforum is about lights that you mount on your head, not car lights. You probably want to post your question under the Transportation Lighting, Automotive ... forum.

    For maximum throw and reliability, consider one of Vinh's modified lights - for instance the T6VN.

    $100, 2 EDCs (Keychain + COMPACT thrower/USBrecharge (S1 Baton Size) HELP!

    The HC30 and H3 are very similar - they are going to have similar performance since they use the same battery and almost the same LED - you are not going to get 3X the Turbo duration at Turbo brightness on the H3 - the ANSI FL1 runtimes are to (I think) 10% or less of original brightness, so it...

    Wanting to buy....Need need some recommendations

    Do you want the extender just for additional runtime when needed, so the light can usually be carried in smaller form? If so, have you considered simply carrying a spare 18650? This would be simpler and give you a far greater range of lights to choose from. If you want flood/spill, what you...

    Narrow beam thrower for pizza delivery

    A non-zoomable aspheric is probably what you want. The DEFT-EDC would be nice but isn't made any more. The DEFT-X can still be had although it's way beyond what you need. Perhaps there's a similar fixed-lens aspheric that would work for you. You could try a cheap Sipik SK-68 clone for under...

    Sunwayman V11R Mirage: First Impressions & Problems with AA extender other issues

    Re: Sunwayman V11R Mirage: First Impressions & Problems with AA extender other issues On my V11Rvn, I found I had to remove an O-ring for the AA extension to work. For my use of the light this is OK, but it's disappointing.

    Community Reccomendations and a Question about lockout

    ^^^ What Mr. Tone said! Besides parasitic drain, tailcap lockout is also good to help prevent accidental switch activation, especially in lights with electronic switches, and especially when carrying in a pack or bag with other stuff. The SX25L3 is a nice light - good you are looking at the...

    Nitecore MH12 Charging Issue

    No experience with that light, but some general thoughts. The built-in measurement system may be off. Check the battery directly with a good multimeter to see what voltage level it is actually charging to. Even if it is only charging to 4.10V, it is unlikely to affect how bright it is (vs...
