    CR2032, but with more Ah?

    Responses to all, I'm too lazy to respond to everyone individually... To Dave the Dude: In Live Entertainment, reflex sights are used to aim follow spot lights. It's most common to use a Telrad telescope finder, but those are big and bulky, so I prefer a reflex finder intended for f1rearms...

    CR2032, but with more Ah?

    I have a device (reflex sight) that uses a single CR2032. But it kinda eats batteries like a fat kid eats free candy. (Not the fault of the device, I use it differently than intended.) I can add an external battery, and my first thought was an 18650, because I own tons. But the 18650 has a...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    Were I in your situation, I'd highly consider a bull bar. A quick google search indicates there are plenty of choices in the $250-$500 range. I didn't do a deep dive, but I'll assume that at least some of them have mounting points for auxiliary lights.

    1xAA with tailcap switch

    Yup. Turned out to be just what I wanted and needed.

    1xAA with tailcap switch

    I had an EagleTac some time ago. I forget the model but it was a 2xAAA. I liked it, so I looked up the light you recommended. Too many modes, confusing UI, and $20 more than the other lights. As for my usage, I work in Live entertainment, so the light is primarily used backstage in dark...

    1xAA with tailcap switch

    Interesting lights, but I'm afraid I really can't wait a month. Thanks for the ideas.

    1xAA with tailcap switch

    That's bigger and heavier than my choices, and the 123A option would be wasted on me.

    1xAA with tailcap switch

    Unfortunately my EDC light is gone. I'm looking to replace it with a 1xAA with a tailcap switch, hopefully with only 2-3 modes. Top contender is the $30 Olight I5T. Other choices are the Lumintop Tool AA and the Fenix E12. Anything else in that range I should consider? Thanks

    There aught to be a law!

    Related...? Like many other industries, law enforcement agencies are having staffing issues in many parts of the nation. Combined with what appears to be an increase in crime, traffic enforcement seems to have been pushed to the bottom of the priorities list. At least around here, you have to do...

    OSRAM Street Legal LED Headlight Bulbs.

    Well I shall stand corrected! That's what I get for believing the Internet!

    OSRAM Street Legal LED Headlight Bulbs.

    Any automotive lighting fixture without replaceable elements is an absolutely horrible idea. There's a certain Cadillac convertible (XLR, maybe?) that has LED tail lights that are known to fail. GM doesn't offer replacement units. Neither does the aftermarket. NOS units have all been bought up...

    LiFePo4 battery storage and high temperature (jump box q.)

    I sent a message to the folks at NOCO. They're a brand of reasonably good repute, and I got a response from them suggesting I not store one of their jump packs in my truck in summer. Which makes it kind of useless.

    LiFePo4 battery storage and high temperature (jump box q.)

    The more information I get, the less certain I am whether getting a lithium jump pack is a good or bad idea.

    LiFePo4 battery storage and high temperature (jump box q.)

    Hey thanks for digging that out. I feel like maybe I'm being paranoid. I've never heard anyone say, "Hey if you live in Vegas or Phoenix, maybe don't keep a lithium jump pack in your car in the summer."

    LiFePo4 battery storage and high temperature (jump box q.)

    I've yet to find any manufacturer of these that provides specs like this.
