    NITECORE TM26 QUADRAY (4 x XM-L U2 | 1-4x18650 / 2-8xR/CR123) Review

    Hello All, This is my first light that uses 18650 cells. Can you guys recommend which battery I should purchase/use for the TM26? I don't have a charger, can the light charge the batteries too? Or is the onboard charger meant to "top off" batteries? Thank you in advance for all the help you...

    Thanks bulletproof! I've been spending a lot of time here at CPF again. While waiting for a response here, I've been debating on getting a Tiablo A9 with the aspherical lens for its "throw" capability. Plus it cost less than $100... Now, I'm reading on the Catapult. Looks like a great light...

    BST...how come no firearms in there??

    For the most part, the United States is the "gun owners paradise". Its only states like Kalifornia that has some over the top restrictions. Even then, it still just a little bit of paperwork and a few more bucks to own a gun....
