    18650 EDC recommendations?

    Been a LONG time since I've been on here, but I'm back in the market for another EDC light. I carried a 4Sevens Quark for a long time and fed it with AW 14500 cells. I had 2 cells that I would rotate out and a hobby charger to keep them topped off. I really liked everything about my Quark...

    Which light for my wife?

    I need some suggestions on a flashlight for my wife. She needs something to use while taking the dogs out at night to avoid stepping in something she doesn't want to step in. Preferably 200+ lumens, more flood than spot, and rechargeable via a USB micro cable. We've used lots of lights...

    Inexpensive little AA light Sipik68 & Clones.

    Re: Inexpensive little AA light Agreed. To me these lights are disposable. Not that I throw them away if the battery dies, but if one gets lost or destroyed, I don't care. I purchased my first 4 after loosing a Quark out in the field one night during deer season. I had killed a deer, and...

    Inexpensive little AA light Sipik68 & Clones.

    Re: Inexpensive little AA light I agree that on this light, the zoom is rather handy. However, if it were a true 200~300 LUM light, I probably wouldn't need the zoom. My favorite thing about the light is that when the lens is pulled all the way back, you get a VERY wide flood beam that's...

    Inexpensive little AA light Sipik68 & Clones.

    Re: Inexpensive little AA light From what I understand, the zoomable lens is what really kills you on such a search. Most reputable mfg don't make one that's zoomable because it cuts down on the quality of the beam produced. They are all trying to make a top quality product that people are...

    Ultrafire WF502B XM-L T6???

    Okay, so I'm a cheap light junkie, primairly because I tend to loose them when I'm out in the middle of no where. Anyway, I got my daily email from Amazon today trying to get me to buy something, and I noticed that they had some 900 Lum LED lights for less than $10. I did a little more...

    L3 Illumination L10 - My opions

    The L10 isn't mine, so I can't send it back. I will advise my co-worker though. My Quark is NOT an xpg. I've had it a little while. The current 47s model would be a QPA. The L10 is not a Nitcha 219. He was too cheap to spend the extra $4 for a Nicha LOL. The max output of the L10 was...

    L3 Illumination L10 - My opions

    I was looking around for a recommendation for a small AA light for our maintenance guys/gals and someone recommended the L3 Illuminations L10. I was seriously considering it as a backup for my Quark Pro AA only because the Quark is so expensive to replace if lost (which I've done once already)...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    This morning I used my Quark AA w/14500 to change my sons diaper, find a rather large pile of dog poo in the hall way before stepping in it, to carry my daughter out of her bedroom and into our bed with my wife without stepping on any toys or stubbing my toes on anything, and to survey the yard...

    AA/14500 thrower?

    Thanks for the info guys! How do I go about looking for one of these "rebranding" deals? For $30~$40, I'd just go a head and buy one. After searching out several sites/mfgs, I've come to the conclusing that my next best option would be to get some kind of P60 clone like the Javalin. Makes...

    Streamlight TL-3

    I have an old incondescent TL-3, and I hate the idea of tossing it. Is there any hope in converting it over to an LED?

    AA/14500 thrower?

    I can understand that. Springs on both ends would be better, but I'm not terribly worried about the recoil. My varmint loads are 50gr Vmax running at 3800 fps, but the rifle weighs over 10 pounds. There is very little discernible recoil. It blows my mind that manufacturers want to charge an...

    AA/14500 thrower?

    I'm looking for what will be a weapon light of sorts. I will end up mounting it on one of my rifles and using it for varmints (coons, yotes, opossums, maybe fox), most of which are shot off my back porch, but I do coyote hunt at night from time to time. I currently have a Streamlight TL2...

    i need an EDC light

    Quark AA? I carry one and love it. It's a little more floody than most of what I've seen offered by Fenix and some of the others, and for my needs that's a plus.
