    Anyone mod an HDS EDC Ultimate 60?

    I'm not sure how to remove the bezel (there are notches for a tool I don't think I have...) but I did manage to take some photos: Let me know if that shows what you need to see...

    Anyone mod an HDS EDC Ultimate 60?

    Howdy all, I've had an HDS EDC Ultimate 60 for the last several years (it was so good I stopped reading the forum! :) ) Now I'm wondering if anyone out there can upgrade it to one of the latest LEDs? Or, if that is a waste of time considering new flashlight options, feel free to fill me in on...

    Pumpkin lighting

    Ha! I did the same thing with my pumpkin! It caused me to "rediscover" my ErgoMarine, and it looked great. Although I wish I knew why a couple days later it started not turning off and had hot batteries when I decided to take them out...

    Streamlight Propolymer Lux - extremely impressed!!

    Re: bike light I know there's a generic bike light holder which will hold a 2C mag, so it should hold this. It would work pretty well as a bike light - not in the same class as a 10w halogen, but MUCH better than the 4aa Cateye Halogen I was using before.

    Streamlight Propolymer Lux - extremely impressed!!

    Re: Streamlight Propolymer Lux - extremely impress Just got mine, w/clip from brightguy, and it's awesome! I'm going to compare it with my bike light next chance I get. Only change I'd make is putting the button on the neck instead of the tail (I think it's more comfy in a light this size).

    Streamlight Propolymer Lux - extremely impressed!!

    Re: Streamlight Propolymer Lux - extremely impress Yeah, I've been convinced - got one on the way! I thought I wanted black but then decided the yellow might be more practical - if a little less cool

    LED light use for bike light???

    I'm curious about the LED too. I haven't seen it, but Nitehawk also has a cheap 10w halogen system I have just ordered. Once I tried a 10w halogen, I didn't want to go back to dimmer lights.

    bike headlight

    hookoo's almost making me second-guess myself. I'd considered a Q3 in a holder, but I'd heard the 10w halogens were around 300 lumens, which is a significant step up from the Q3. Trashman - I got the 10w w/SLA for ~$40. The cases are supposed to be rainproof, which is what I wanted. I used...

    Well I hope so, because I just ordered the 2.5lb Nitehawk after all! Nashbar sold the last Cygolite minutes before I tried to add it to my cart. I would have gone for the NiMH version except the batteries were held in a neoprene bag. I wouldn't expect that to last more than a few months.

    I was looking at that NiteHawk too. It's an amazing deal - but I think at 2.5lbs it might be worth getting a NiMH system instead. I found this 15w Cygolite on sale for $70, and it's half the weight...

    Best mods for 2AA MiniMag and 2D Maglite?

    Is there any difference in focusing between these options on a AA maglite? The BB ones that are $50+ make me think focusing would be the only advantage a modded maglite would have over a comparably priced LED-original light (Streamlight Jr.?)

    Sold/Expired Drop in for Mag light AA

    Does this mean there are drop-ins that focus better than the TerraLux?
