    *2017* Nitecore tip

    So....I'm confused and know you guys will clear it up for me. ( I used to frequent the forum but drifted away ) I just picked up one of these on Amazon and I'm trying to figure out how many versions there are....is there a V1,V2 and a 2017 version ??? or is the second version the same as the...

    Run time calculation help needed

    I just picked up the Terralux 1000 lumen drop in for a 4 - 6 cell maglite. Terralux quotes the run times as 2/6/37 hours on High/Med/Low. I assume they're quoting times on a 6 cell set up rather than 4. I am using 2 adapters that allow you to run 3xAA in a D size format so I can use this is a...

    Mag Pro 2-D ??

    I'm not saying it does anything. I'm not even sure it exists !! I few posters have said they've seen it in retailers so I'll check those out, but I've checked them recently and found nothing new to be exicited about.

    Mag Pro 2-D ??

    Can anyone clear up something for me ? I haven't been around the forum for a while so I'm out of touch with the current state of afairs. I came across a mag light on REI's website that I was intrigued by. It was a Mag Pro 2D rated at 274 lumens ( twice what a regular Mag 2D LED light is rated...

    Scallion Disassembly Question

    I've got a new Kershaw Scallion and I love it, so, of course I want to take it apart. I'm concerned about the spring that opens it. I don't want that to go flying across the room as soon as I separate the sides, leaving me with a useless pile of knife parts. Can someone who has taken one of...

    Recommendation for hiking flashlight

    I may have my CPF credentials revoked for saying this, but here goes.... I don't think you need a spectacular light ( "need" being the key word ). You're getting by right now without one, so anything you get is going to be an improvement. An LED mini-mag would offer you a high and a low...

    My toddler is afraid of the dark...

    I use the Nite Ize 2-6 battery led conversion bulbs. Each of my 2 boys have them. I've tried a number of different size lights and these work the best because the lights are big enough ( I use a 2D and a 2C host ) that they don't get played with as toys. They had a tendency to take their...

    MAGLITE s6d015 vs s6d016 for security work

    I don't have that Mag upgrade so my comments may not be valid, but consider the type of light you want. I think the 700 lumen mag drop in is a narrow beam distance kind of light. This may not be what you want if your primary use is going to be indoors. If you light up the club with that, you...

    I have a problem with alcohol...please help

    It's an issue I've got some first hand experience with. I wish I could say it was all positive, or that as soon as I realized I had a problem, everything was fine, but my path was a difficult one. The upside is that I now feel like the luckiest guy in the world and find joy in things that...

    I have a problem with alcohol...please help

    I've heard people say that if you drank every day, you should go to meetings every day, for a while at least. I congratulate you on your week of sobriety. Two things in your post set off alarms when I read them. 1. "There are so many people there worse off than me..." That's a dangerous...

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    Has anyone stuck a light meter on this thing yet ? I don't have any other lights in the 200 lumen range to really compare this too. Is it really 200 ?

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    I got to use my Gx2 in a corn maze tonight with my kids. Talk about a flashaholics dream !!! I had the new surefire, as well as an E1B, both of my boys had an AA mini mag with a single AA energizer as a back up, We roamed around in corn that was 8-10 feet high for an hour or so. ( You can...

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    You're right......I was trying to inject a little humor in there when I should have taken the opportunity to pass on some knowledge that someone had passed on to me. Thanks for setting the record straight and providing good solid info.

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    Welcome mtman. I believe that lithium batteries do not corrode, or if they do, it's extremely rare. They have been known to burst into flames...but not corrode. Another option is using rechargeables. I haven't gotten into the rechargeable CR123 batteries, but I have for the double and...
