    LUX RATINGS - RC40 vs TK70

    Yeah I was hoping to find some good beamshot comparisons between the TK 70 and the RC 40 but only found one person who had any. I guess I deal better in video form. I use the TK 41 and 70 nightly at work and ordered the RC 40 yesterday. I'll either have to sell the RC 40 or the other two...

    Boaters out there?

    Thanks guys. I went ahead and pointed him towards the two spotlights I mentioned. TN31...Yeah that'd be nice if it were under $100 and didn't need a separate charging system. That'd be reeeaal nice.

    Boaters out there?

    Hey guys, Someone I work with appreciates my collection of Fenix and Zebra; it's kinda nice having someone appreciate it. Well, he wants a Christmas present for his brother-in-law who enjoys boating. He wanted to get him a high end flashlight. I'm having a hard time suggesting a good gift...

    Shocklight Flashlight Stun Gun (discussion + review, photos, beamshots)

    PREFACE: I imagine some of you have seen this product before, but I did a few quick searches and didn't see it mentioned here on CPF. I thought I'd post up some quick info for anyone who may have seen or wondered. I figured I could give a review. I also wanted to open up the lines of...

    *coming* *new* Fenix E50, TK22 and TK75

    Isn't the E35 an 18650 light? Seems like they already broke that rule. The way Fenix names their lights seems to give very little away. Without official word, I wouldn't rule anything out. I know I'm going to be in a class all alone here, but I was hoping the TK75 may be like a TK70 U2. I...

    Re: Anybody else had problems with DealExtreme (DX)?

    Re: Anybody else had problems with DealExtreme (DX)? They finally made things right with me. I wasn't able to work it out through email with them, but once I opened the Paypal claim I received double my order in the mail. I can't complain really. They sent me twice as many lights as I...

    Anyone paying attention to the conventions these days?

    I'm not a stark supporter of any particular politicians and I'm not looking to start that debate. I was just very disappointed by the events that unfolded at the RNC regarding the new rules. I've been blowing up facebook about it a bit, am I crazy? I'm not sure if you saw the vote...Something...

    Lost a loved one, lesson learned.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will most definitely be getting a spare. I was already on the verge of it before I lost mine, I just didn't want to spend the $$$ given the circumstances. I was tired of taking it out of my hardhat to put it in my headband and vice versa. It slowed me down...

    Lost a loved one, lesson learned.

    I really couldn't have said it better myself. I didn't have this thing very long, but I put some serious hours in with it. It was actually the first light to convince my Fiancee' of the value of expensive lights. I waited over a week to show her because I thought I'd be in trouble for buying...

    Lost a loved one, lesson learned.

    Awesome that you found it! It's not the end of the world or anything, but it's a lot less fun than I expected, that's for sure. I figure if I can save one person by helping them create the means to recover one light...All is well that ends well.

    Lost a loved one, lesson learned.

    I'll try to keep this on the shorter side guys.. Last week I remember using my Zebralight H502 Thursday night while I worked. I went for it tonight and it wasn't where I keep it. I thought back and remember being in quite a rush Thursday at the end of the night. I was breaking some very...

    Which (if any) Lube do you prefer?

    I still have not received your payment. Can you please check with your financial institution or resend it? :popcorn: Thanks for all the input and feedback guys. I thought Nano-Oil would be more popular. In fact, I ordered some about an hour ago, then came over and checked the poll. I'm...

    Spray Paint got on my Flashlight

    Actually, the Isopropyl took care of it. Just finished up a little bit ago. Surprising how well it worked. The only issue was that the little spots of paint didn't actually want to be "cleaned off" Instead, they'd break off the light then slide around and find a new place to rest on the...

    OK WHO is actually making these lights?

    You guys have me curious as to which specific brands you're talking about now...I can speculate about a few... I think I read that Jetbeam, Sysmax, Nitecore are all the same? Something about 3 manufacturers either merging or being separate entities of the same company... I feel like this is...

    Which (if any) Lube do you prefer?

    Hey guys, I THOROUGHLY cleaned my TK41. Cleaned all the lube right off in the process. Looking for what to replace it with, I found the Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread. So here I am, 3 hours later...Wow. So much info. A lot of (somewhat expensive) options exist, and testing them...
