    Tritum Glow Fob for Attaching to Flashlight

    Amazon now has tritium fobs and vials. They are not cheap though. I haven't bought tritium in years so I'm not sure what the going prices are. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HJB46T/?tag=cpf0b6-20

    Your opininion on Nextorch? (K3)

    I picked up a Nextorch MyTorch AA from a sale site for a real good deal. The only problem I have is that I didn't buy a whole lot more of them. Build quality is excellent. I keep this one right next to my laptop on it's stand and use it probably every day.

    Icon lights still in business?

    I called Surefire to see if they could give me some contact info for Icon. They told me that Icon has been shut down. So, if you are like me and bought lots of Icon lights recently from WOOT you should cross your fingers that all the lights aren't as poorly made as this one was. I'm hoping this...

    Icon lights still in business?

    Interesting. It's now October and the Icon web page is still MIA. I have an Irix headlamp that is about 3 weeks old. It worked great up until today. It just quit powering on. I changed out the eneloop for a fresh one and then tried a nonrecharable AA, still nothing. I got this thing at a great...

    can mag chargers be left on the charger indefinitely?

    I've had a mag charger since they were first released. It sits in the charger all the time it isn't in use. It was my main patrol light for about 10 years. I've replaced the battery once and put an early led droping in it.

    I have picked up several lights for my grandson who is 2 off of WOOT. The latest being a black and decker angle head white/red/green one. They are real cheap.

    Maglite XL200

    I like the XL200's interface. It seems to be the way my XL100 should have been. My XL100 has been my middle of the night go to light except for the times I need both hands and dim light. Then my Photon REX is the go to. I don't care for the 3 AAA format, but with rechargables that isn't an issue...

    Is it me or is the Ipad one of the most frustrating things apple has invented?

    I agree that syncing the iPad is a pain. iTunes has to be the worst program I have ever had to fight with. That aside, I really like my iPad and my Wife likes her iPad2. We use them a couple of hours a day for various thing. My 2 year old grandson came down from Alaska to visit last month. It...

    Maratac Extreme AAA problem

    Is your light the AAA extreme? I didn't think they were sold that long ago. I have several of the regular AAA's that are that old but not the AAA extreme.

They said they had not heard of any other drain problems. About a week and a half after I Sent the light back I got a paypal refund for...

    Maratac Extreme AAA problem

    I bought a Maratac extreme AAA a few weeks ago. I like the light and the tail switch. The light had been sitting for about a week when I decided to use it. It was dead as a doornail. I had put a freshly charged eneloop in it. I had convinced myself that I had left it on low by accident. I put...
