    Budget weaponlight (18650, warm to neutral, throw/narrow beam, 1000ish lumens)

    I'm looking for a weaponlight for airsoft purposes. No surefire or similar stuff required, this is just for fun, which is why I'm posting in the budget lights section. My current setup is a surefire G2 with a solarforce xp-l dropin + remote line, which is quite functional at close to mid...

    Surefire E2DL Ultra 500 -> 600 lumen upgrade?

    Does anyone know when/how/if surefire upgraded their E2DL Ultra to 600 lumen? All stores seem to stock a 500 lumen version while surefire themselves offer a 600 lumen version. Has it actually been upgraded? new emitter? If so, any clue if the tint has become better? less green? Or is it...

    Recommendations for compact bright light under $100 for rainforest

    In the document listed by TMedina I dont really see any issues with batteries, since you are allowed to bring spares as carry-on. If you dont plan on using it for more than 7 days, I would not invest in chargers and 18650 batteries. I would suggest a light that runs on either one or two...

    Are there any 2x 18650 1 inch diameter hosts?

    I also struggle to see the point. Yes, you can run xhp70 in a small package, however due to heat you wont be able to keep it up very long (30min is WAY too long). IF you only use it for short bursts, I dont see a problem, but then you wont be needing 2x18650 capacity. So I would suggest going...

    Efficient, 'low' lumen, long runtime, single mode p60?

    I like incans, but this definitely wont make the runtime requirement ;) Anyway, almost ordered the LL malkoff, but apparently shipping it to Europe is more expensive than the dropin itself. At least from the official store. I have found some sellers on ebay selling malkoff stuff and shipping...

    Surefire 9P - Upgrade or Sell&Replace

    Voltage of 2x rechargeables is actually higher under load than 3x primary lithium. Rechargeables have less internal resistance. 3.7v is the nominal voltage, but when fully charged it is 4.2v (so 8.4 in total). Primary lithium has a voltage of 3v, but under load that drops a bit. I refer to this...

    Surefire 9P - Upgrade or Sell&Replace

    Might I suggest keeping it oldschool. Get a pair of 16500/17500 batteries and a charger, and just keep using as is but with rechargeables. Voltage is a near perfect match for the p90, but if you want you can also get a lumens factory 9v xenon bulb in a variety of output levels. If you do want...

    Any decent 17500 / 16500 high current batteries out there?

    Thx guys, I ended up buying some efest 16500 though. They might not be the best regarded brand (or is that just me?), but seem to be working quite nicely. Runtime is also better than the AW's (even when they were new), while capacity is actually lower (900 vs 1100). Probably due to losses in the...

    Efficient, 'low' lumen, long runtime, single mode p60?

    The title probably makes it clear, but I'm looking for a p60 drop-in for use in an emergency flashlight (g2 body). It'll mostly live in the car glovebox to provide light when necessary. I'd like as long a runtime as possible while still providing a useful amount of light from 2x cr123 primaries...

    Any decent 17500 / 16500 high current batteries out there?

    I'm currently using a surefire m3 as my 'fun light'. Have plenty of led powered 18350/18650 stuff for practical purposes, but still like to use this thing from time to time. At some point I bought 4x AW 17500 batteries to keep it running. This was probably somewhere in 2007, so ages ago. Well, 2...

    Looking for new EDC

    After looking through some pictures, the nitecore size is actually pretty nice. Should fit the hand well without being excessively bulky, and hopefully small enough for pocket carry. Perhaps some of the more compact 2xCR123 lights might work as well. I would prefer right around palm-size. Any...

    Looking for new EDC

    Hi CPF, been a while! Currently using surefire 6P with a drop in which I've had for quite a few years. It's too big for EDC in my pants, so looking to change things up. Would like a 1xCR123 light with pocket clip and clicky, at least 300 lumen on high (more is better!), but be able to change...

    Sister getting married/moving to Norway, feminine Flashlight gift?

    Exactly what i was thinking! www.theorb.co.uk Didn't they used to make red Orb's though? those looked really feminine to me. pretty cool. They do have some sterling silver one's though. very shiny! I would suggest one of those as a gift. Could be used for jewelry aswell!

    where to put beam to - in a survival situation?

    I think it's a good idea. Maybe improve it with something like a sign saying "SOS" or something that you are illuminating with your marker strobe. But even better would be something that flashes 360 degrees. It should be very bright, and i believe there are some specialty lights that do this...

    Looking for a new EDC light

    I sure like all of those custom one's, but i think surefire/HDS pricing is about as high as i'm willing to go. say about $150 budget. Currently it's either going to be a surefire L1 or the HDS/Novatec 85 or 120. And though i really like surefire, the HDS/Novatec seems like a better choice. I...
