    Best 18650 EDC for the money

    Well the Niteye R26 I recently purchased is smaller than the Nitecore, not by much but it is smaller in length, head dia and body dia. Like the Nitecore it is rechargeable, has the same blue flashing power button and internal charging .... BUT I cannot recommend the Niteye (see my recent post...

    Best 18650 EDC for the money

    I like the suggestion of the 18650 Convoy S2, I recently bought two and I'm quite pleased with them. For output and spacing of light levels they cant be beat! Price? I forgot to mention the price they are one great bargain. However for non-flashlight enthusiasts I strongly recommend an LED...

    Trying to pick a AAA twisty

    S/S Maratac AAA very small. I'd also suggest looking at the same light in the AA version, it's not much bigger. Check CountyComm

    NITEYE EC-R26 Is it advisable?

    I forgot to add that the "Low Battery" warning arrangement for this light is screwy. I charged up a battery and run the light for two nights on the lowest 2L setting about 10hrs each night. On the third day I ran the light on turbo for approx 45 minutes until the low battery warning light came...

    NITEYE EC-R26 Is it advisable?

    I recently bought the Niteye EC-R26, the price was good with a ~$11 discount this last Memorial Day. I've been looking for a USB rechargeable 18650 light, this looked ideal. I was wrong, I've had nothing but problems with this light, some minor, some major. Never had Niteye brand before and...

    Surefire Executive Elite E2E bulb issue

    Further down in this discussion you mentioned that the bulbs were discolored, which is normal yet it can be exacerbated & shorten bulb lifespan by operating the light for a length of time with weak batteries If I remember correctly(which I may not) the lamp requires a minimum operating...

    Nedd help to find one 1xCR123 light!

    Don't forget to give him a dozen CR123's with the light. I find that a requirement for a gift to a non-flashlight person. Often a non-flashlight person will open up a light to see what batteries it uses and go "whoa what kind of battery is this?" next time that are at a battery display at the...

    SIDE SWITCH POPULARITY?

    I agree, especially in a pocket size light. I get annoyed having to rotate the light in my hand to find the switch. However with a large light, 3 D cell or larger, a side switch makes sense as holding the light in the middle balances the heavy light in your hand. But that's not an issue with a...

    Sunwayman V25C review - 780 Lumens 360° Fully Variable Magnetic Control Flashlight

    Good review, kudos' to the reviewer. I've had my V25c for a week now and I really LIKE it, a lot! It makes a nice companion to my SolarForce L2P which I've had for a year or so and use for work. You've got to be careful when ramping up to the max as it will suddenly go dark if you go beyond...

    What "Iconic" LED lights have to be put in a "HALL OF FAME FOR LED FLASHLIGHTS"?

    Re: What "Iconic" LED lights have to be put in a "HALL OF FAME FOR LED FLASHLIGHTS"? Without a doubt, the ARC AAA and their 123 series. This company was an Iconic pioneer of LED lights. Most all of the others are interesting in some fashion but nothing like ARC. The CMG infinity might also go...

    Do you Spy?

    Well you've got me confused. I was under the impression parasitic drain is defined as current consumed in any electronic device when it is off. No? All I know is that in the off position, my Spy 005 serial #65, will suck it's batteries dry in weeks. But in a way that's good, as it is in...

    Do you Spy?

    "No parasitic drain at the low settings" Interesting My Spy 5, a stunningly beautiful light but I never put batteries in it without an insulating piece of paper because parasitic drain is so bad. With the light turned off, I will drain a pair of 123's in I'm guessing 6-8 week What a shame
