New Scientific American article: "scientists watch as heat moves at the speed of sound"
Common graphite, it was discovered, can move heat in a linear direction at the speed of sound. Lots of potential applications for this. It may be possible to incorporate this into the heat management of...
My very limited personal experience with the application of strobe to disorientate an attacker has; thus far, proven to be woefully ineffective. However, I would like to reiterate that I am by no means an authority on the subject. The sole basis for my opinion is from an incident that occurred...
I've had many encounters with aggressive dogs on night walks. One night I discovered that a very bright flood-type beam(2,500+ lumens) works every time. I'm not sure why, but all I know is it works.
P.S. A bright light with good throw is ineffective.
Vinh,
Could you let me know how many lumens you are getting on the XML2 version of this light? I think you stated the Lux at around 50K, but I didn't see Lumens anywhere.
Thanks,

Magnesium is ⅔ lighter than aluminum and has nearly the same thermal conductivity. This might be the 'new aluminum' of the future. Below is a link to the article.

With the increasing popularity of copper flashlights today I thought this study relevant.

The "other mt-g2 light" most likely is the Fenix. I don't know of any other light we are all waiting on, with great expectations.
P.S. Great review, as always. Thanks for all you do for this community!
I notice some owners are reporting the light throws less than 150 meters.EagleTac is generally conservative when it comes to posting output and throw figures... is that not the case with this light? I was hoping for something near 250 meters. I have a MT-G2 dropin and know firsthand that it is a...
