    Just got my first Surefire.... good purchace?

    well, could be worse then. Aside from a slight nick (and of course the wrong tailcap, which is being fixed), the thing looks brand new. I guess while i am waiting for the new tail, ill have to decide what to do with it. I am trying to find 17500 batteries, but all i see are the UltraFire...

    Just got my first Surefire.... good purchace?

    So, long story short, found a Surefire M3LT-S sitting in the back corner of a pawn shop. They were asking 210, but since you could see it had been there a while, I talked em down to 150. http://imgur.com/d89Qol2 http://imgur.com/JaU9vZE All in all, it feels good, though the tailcap is...

    New upgraded Maglite Mini Pro 272 lumens

    Hairy, stranded? Perhaps no... Annoying, yes. Walking back to the campground after some night fishing, with a storm rolling in, getting caught with a flashlight that couldn't live up to my basic demands and required that i go on without it, is the reason why i look to modern technology now...

    New upgraded Maglite Mini Pro 272 lumens

    Hey.. whatever you do in your free time is your own thing pal (hope you dont drink too much pee though, it will get you after a while). Some of us like actually USING our lights, like when i take the family hiking, camping, fishing at the lake, etc.. so waterproofing is important. As it is...

    Chance I have damaged my light?

    No, didn't mod anything at all.. But could have been more.. I didn't notice it on.. A coworker pointed it out. Well, least it isn't expensive to replace down the line.. ;-)

    Chance I have damaged my light?

    I can't be totally sure, but I don't believe it was running more than 10 min. The unit itself is a p60 from intl out.. Copper base, AL foil between the drop in a different body.. I am hopeful that the body being so hot was good heats inking..

    Chance I have damaged my light?

    Thanks for the hints on what to look for. The dome and phosphorus look fine, so I will keep an eye for now, and hope for the best.

    Chance I have damaged my light?

    So, I know the saying... Heat kills. Well, I just noticed that my light was on, and on full blast... Once I felt it, it was too hot to hold.. It has since cooled, and has not displayed a problem. It is a xml2, copper base, and well connected to the body (heat transfer). Ideas on...

    New tacticool flashlight at.....Walmart!!

    ACtually, for what its worth, you can see that it is an XM-L (not a 2 though.. the PCB is green on top). Watts = Amps x Volts In this case, they are looking at 8.4v, so the LED is being pushed to 10W, it is receiving ~1.2Amps.
