    Life Expectancy

    If by lifespan you mean how long will the emitter last then I would say a lifetime of normal use. The Cree line of emitters is rated at 50,000 hours. Now this lifespan is not until it stops working but until it drops to 70% of its rated output. So I would say you need not worry about "burning...

    Eneloop Abuse

    I would assume that it is performing no different than my other Eneloops. I only got about a 7% self discharge over 30 days. I have found that my Eneloops race to about 90% capacity then slow down considerably after that. I did my discharge capacity tests with a 1 amp load so I am fairly...

    Eneloop Abuse

    About two years ago I misplaced a Uniden two-way radio that I used for deer hunting. I was less worried about the radio than I was about the 3 AA Eneloops that were in it. About a month ago I found the radio. Do not ask, it was in my equipment bag all along. Anyhow when I took out my...

    Enloop Rechargables - Please advise of safety issues

    Would like to +1 this statement. To me Eneloops have changed how I think about NiMH AA batteries. One of the few items I hardily suggest others to buy and vocally say are the best. Also if Eneloops were edible I bet they would be delicious!

    Eneloop vs Accupower

    As mentioned by others. I would buy the Eneloops in the AA & AAA variety. Stay away from the C and D size Eneloops and pick up some Accupower Evolution LSD C and D cells. The D size Accupower cells actually test out at their stated capacity. The C size are actually a smidge better than their...

    My crazy wife

    I still see 60% of the nightstand's surface is open space. Tell the wife that your flashlights do not gather dust....so in a strange way you are helping to do your part in keeping your nightstand dust free!

    When You Want Long Runtime...

    My longest running mods take the form of a 3D Mag with a 3 mode AMC7135 based driver. I use 3 D AccuEvolution 10,000 mAh LSD NiMH cells to power the mods. I have made 4 of these to date and they work well. Here are the runtime specs. 140 mA on low mode. This gives you about 50 lumens with a...

    Favorite Incandescent/s

    It used to be a toss up between a Mag 2D with a Philips 5761 bulb and a Mag 3D with a WA1185. These days my favorite incandescent hands down is a Mag 3D with a FM1909 bulb powered by 3 battery space LiMnNi 26650 4000 mAh cells. Happy Mods!

    sst-90 3d dd turning blue @ 2.5 amps

    I have purchased 5 of Brightlumens heat sinks. 3 for the SST-50 and 2 for the SST-90. I agree with your statement. I have never had any problem with them. They work well. I think when most people glue their emitters down they will "squish" out a bit of the epoxy and it stands a good chance of...

    sst-90 3d dd turning blue @ 2.5 amps

    Very carefully scrap the epoxy off with a sharp edge. If this does not work you might also be able to lightly sand it.

    sst-90 3d dd turning blue @ 2.5 amps

    You really shouldn't use Artic Silver thermal adhesive to attach the emitter to an aluminum heat sink. Here is a quote from the manufacture's page "NOTE: Even though Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is specifically engineered for high electrical resistance, it should be kept away from electrical...

    Best Budget AA LSD?

    Seems like I have read somewhere that they are shipped with a 75% charge on them. Can not substantiate this point since my googlefu seem to be rusty. Anyone?
