    Why Buy All These Bulbs...

    Looks awfully familiar to what my bench looked like during my incan modding days.

    26650 IMR and others sources?

    I've ordered a couple of Efest Purple 4200 mAh cells from Mountain for my new Acebeam...which I LOVE! So excited! Wilkey

    26650 IMR and others sources?

    Thank you, Chris. My risk level is reasonable, but my "bothering to deal with all sorts of fiddly stuff just to make light" threshold has gotten lower with the passage of time. I used to build my own packs (soldering and all) and charge my lights' batteries with a DC-only Electrifly Triton...

    Understood. Makes perfect sense now. Wilkey

    26650 IMR and others sources?

    Thanks, Chris. I've read here and there that unprotected cells might be a bit short in some lights to make reliable contact or contact at all. I've resorted to using neo-mags in one of my lights but would like to avoid it if at all possible. What's the consensus on this? The light would have to...

    26650 IMR and others sources?

    Hi Folks, Just started playing with lights again after a long hiatus and I've found that 26650-powered torches are quite a good thing these days. Just bought a Jetbeam T4 which I love, and ordered an Acebeam EC50 Gen II 5000K. I'd like to order some top quality 26650 cells for these lights and...

    Oveready Mule Drop In

    The XPL is characterized as "cool?" To my eyes, 4,500K is pretty neutral and cool doesn't start until a bit over 5,000K. Can you confirm, 4,000K? Wilkey

    Doug Ritter MiniGrip D4

    Hi Guys, Been a while. I've just gotten back into the knife hobby. Picked up a ZT 0566 CF in M390 and I really love the knife. Solid. I've just started researching other makes I might want to explore. In the mean time, I found a pair of the Ritter MiniGrips in D4. Never carried, never...

    SOLD StriveVN - 26650 Compact

    Re: StriveVN - 26650 Compact Hmm, I already carry the VanIsleDSM Quad XPG2 5.6A as my primary EDC. I was really looking for something noticeably brighter or throwier. Maybe the 2 2XPL 4KK + 2 XPL5.7KK would be the way to go? The ability to use a 26650 was the other big attraction. Thanks for...

    SOLD StriveVN - 26650 Compact

    Re: StriveVN - 26650 Compact Okay, Forget all that. I realized I've got enough close quarter lights. I would like this throw-biased with good tint and max output. What do you think about 4 x XPL2-5.7KK dedome in optic? There's only one UI, correct? Also, can the drop-in be removed and placed...

    The lounge 2104 (Closed)

    Re: I'm confused about Dedome and how it helps So dedoming increases the throw and hotspot brightness of LEDs in an optic/reflector system while potentially introducing a color shift. Is that pretty much it? If running in a bare LED mule setup, Dedom would have little to no perceptible effect...
