    SOLAR Charged Lights ???

    I was thinking, if cottonpicker makes solar chargers, why not ask him which of the smaller charger he sells could be used with the Rex? But if you're looking for another light, never mind. I have three of the Everlite solar rechargeable lights, where one of them is their older discontinued...

    123 Battery storage capsule?

    goinggear.com has the small Keep2Go for less. My wife uses it to store dish detergent that she uses to wash our baby's foodware when we travel.

    The new "King of Throw" FINAL numbers

    Re: The new "King of Throw" Sure it will. The WE Kretin (two AA) and Defender III (18650) are focusable aspheric lights. The Defender III provides, to me, a useful spot at 300 ft (although it will throw further). What I don't like what WE did was stop the focusing short of showing the die...

    April 2010 Flashlights you bought this month..

    Just ordered a Romisen RC-29 Focusable Q3-5C LED flashlight that uses one AA battery. Haven't seen any posts on this but I do have Wolf Eyes Krait which uses twe AA batteries. I'm assuming the RC-29 will be similar (other than output) in the beam shape. The small form factor, easy to obtain...

    DEFT-High Output Got Lux?

    Michael, Would these new lenses fit the Enthusiast model? If yes, would you be willing to sell the lenses only? Do you think it worth it (price wize) to squeeze a few more lux out of the Enthusiast? BTW, I have one from the last batch of the Enthusiast run. Good stuff. Oh yeah, how do you...

    Betalight Torch: Mystery NSN 6260-99-695-3582

    Mine has also a 965 NSN. Don't know what else to tell you. In almost total darkness, it provides a very faint lighting to make out silhouettes of objects near me so I don't trip over it and check that my son is sleeping all right. I'm pretty sure it's not intended for this kind of use, but it...

    Wolf Eyes Krait: aspherical lens spot to flood flashlight!

    The 2xCR123 (or 1x18650) version is called the Defender III. If I was to get the Krait, I would feed it NiZn batteries. What's making me hesitate about getting one is not knowing what size emitter/reflector assembly it is and if it could be replaced with other brands. recDNA, have you taken...

    Dereelight Javelin

    Why use eneloops? I have the extender and plan on utilizing it. But I'll have the option of using the 1.6V if I want a shorter light. I also have the Javelin Shorty using a 14500.

    NEW FENIX MC10

    Anybody tried using the Power Genix 1.6V NiZn battery in their MC10? Using alkalines (also popped in an eneloop), I had a hard time seeing the difference between medium and high modes, but not with the NiZn. I know someone else had also posted saying they had a problem too. Once the alkie...

    Dereelight Javelin

    PowerGenix makes the batteries and you'll need to get their charger. Paul_in_MD is correct that three 1.6V NiZn would destroy it. I have a 3S - 4.2V pill and on high mode, it made the beam blue. Of course, it was only for a fraction of a second and then I turned it off. Appears no damage was...

    World's longest throwing LED Flashlight- FTP the affordable DEFT

    Saabluster wrote, "DV how close were your white wall tests? I ask as unless you tested the beam at 30' or more you are not really seeing the "real" beam . . ." My house is a 40' x 40' box. The wall I do some of my impromptu tests is up to about 30'. So looks like it meets your minimum distance...

    World's longest throwing LED Flashlight- FTP the affordable DEFT

    fhenixlynx wrote, "how will the DEFT FTP stack up with the dereelight and tiablo aspheric?? . . ." Answer (my opinion only): I have the DEFT Enthusiast (the last batch made) and I don't think the two latter lights will be in the same class as the FTP. Doing the white wall comparison, the...

    2AA holster with clip?

    Google Ripoffs holster. I don't think it's 'DX' prices but quality is excellent. Most of my lights are housed in one.

    The longest throwing LED flashlight in the world (part 4)

    Windstrings wrote, ". . . I think you got yours right around the time I got mine." Not quite correct. We were on the same open wait list. But I was slow doing PP and was placed into the final batch of the DEFT-Enthusiast, and at the top of said list. I had envied you, and the others from the...
