    Fenix TK35 Ultimate Edition 2018

    (Second try) Got mine yesterday. Put a pair of protected Nitecore 3400mAh cells (NL189) in it, a mated pair of course, and took it outside for a spin. Couldn't get it to go into the Outdoor mode. All I got was the tactical. I had watched the video thoughtfully supplied by run4jc but couldn't...

    Fenix TK35 Ultimate Edition 2018

    I have a TK35 Ultimte Edition from past years (1800lm I think) that is my go to light for most heavy use. I am renovating a house now and it is in the thick of it. Under the house and in the dirt of 40 year old demolition (mice and other animal droppings, old fiberglass etc) it is quite at...

    Test/review of Charger Nitecore SC2, updated version

    Thanks for the great review. I was tempted to get one of these but after your review I see it would not fit my batteries well. I really appreciate the great effort and professionalism that you approach your testing with. Thanks again.

    Olight S10R II Baton (XP-L HD, 1x RCR123A/CR123A, Rechargeable) Review

    I have had mine for about one year and all I have ever seen is 3.86v when charged. I had it clipped to a ball cap while under a house for about 4 hours and it lasted on the medium setting. Quite enough light to work at arms length. As soon as I hit max output it died. Unscrewed the tail cap all...

    Best flashlight under $100 bucks! Convoy L6 3800 lumen. A MUST HAVE!

    I got a pair from of all places a RadioShack store on the clearance rack. They are 69.8mm long protected 3500mAh from DEWORLD.com. I went to the DEWOLD site and they offer a 2 pack for $15. I have never heard of them but the cells work in the L6. I have the Keep Power ones I ordered with the...

    New 2016 JETBeam JET-II MK

    I have been carrying one (Jet 1) for a couple months now. Good little light. At the Gear best price I got a spare!! If I will be traveling I use the Olight S10R. The magnet is handy and the reversible clip allows sticking it on a ball cap visor. Both features along with the super low mode and...

    *NEW* Nitecore EC4 & EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens

    Re: EC4S: 2x18650 2150lm The high drain at rest is the thing that has kept me from getting this light. I have many nice lights and enjoy them all but I find it an inconvenience to pick up a light and have the cap fall off because I have unscrewed it. (yes, some only take 1 turn, it is still a...

    *NEW* Fenix PD40 1x26650 MT-G2 Light

    In spite of the bad comments and because of the good ones, I bought one of these in a package deal from Fenix with the battery and 4 bay ARE-C2 Advanced Multi-Charger for 112. Charged the battery up and took it for a spin. It compares well to the TK35 UE of last year (2014) with the 35 edging...

    Fenix LD60 (3xXM-L2 - 3x18650, 6xCR123A) review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, SCOPE + more!

    They had one in the clearance section of fenixoutfitters a couple weeks ago that was a return. Forget how much it was but it was a deal. Almost bought it, should have bought it but I had just ordered a Nitecore EA81. I really should get one of these while they are available. Actually, perhaps...

    Fenix LD60 (3xXM-L2 - 3x18650, 6xCR123A) review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, SCOPE + more!

    I think they would need to have 6, not 4 due to the 3 emitters though. The big selling feature for this light for me is the ability to use 3 cells of varying health/charge. I have several lights that use cells in series or parallel or both (4 cell lights). This "3 on 3" or "1 on 1"...

    *NEW* Fenix UC30 Rechargeable Flashlight

    Yes it does but I seldom remember which lights do and which don't. I generally just turn a light off and set it down. I am not in the habit of turning a tail cap. If it has a case or a belt pouch I always stuff it back in to keep it from getting scratched or misplaced, both easy at night in a...

    *NEW* Fenix UC30 Rechargeable Flashlight

    I think you'll be better off by putting the primaries in an appropriate case along with the light and change them out when needed. This gives you protection from mistakes, ready access to the primaries as backup all year, and full use of the OEM cell. It is a good idea to leave it on low power...

    *new* Fenix TK35UE 2015 edition: Cree XHP 50 LED, max 2000 lumens

    Yesterday I could find a perfect holster in a military shop. For people interested the dealer told me that is a holster for carrying weapons magazine. (I do not like the original TK35 holster) That is a really good idea!

    Fenix LD60 (3xXM-L2 - 3x18650, 6xCR123A) review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, SCOPE + more!

    I have been using salvaged batteries in my lights for 5 years now. If a light has 2 or 3 cells in series, I go to extremes to be sure that I have cells that are in about the same shape and check their voltage several times during a couple discharges before I call them a team If they are all...

    Any stories of using STROBE as a Self-Defense Weapon?

    Re: General Tactical Self Defense Question About Lumens When my son came back from his first deployment to Iraq he gave me a NovaTac SPAdefense, SPL-120. They used them in late night traffic and pedestrian stops to temporarily disorient a person that they had concerns with in order to...
