    Maratac AAA Q5 (Part 2)

    I was going to go ahead and buy a stainless steel one until I saw the shipping cost ($8). That stopped me, at least for now. I recently got two Akoray AA lights--they are bright and great, so I'm kind of invested in the AA/14500 format for now. Akoray is not as small, but definitely brighter...

    A few questions about 14500 Li-Ion cells.

    I figured I'd ask my (related) question here rather than open a new thread: Do you know if there is any danger in putting a flashlight with 14500 or other li-ion batteries in, say, a car in the hot summer sun? The temperature in the car can probably reach more than 100 degrees. Is that a...

    AKOray AA & AAA Review + RUNTIME

    hi, do I understand correctly that you tap the button quickly three times to activate this built-in protection feature? I still don't know exactly what it does. Does it just prevent the light from drawing too much power from the batteries? And is it true that I should turn it on when using...

    Newbie question on Li-ion charging and use

    informative posts and replies! i have 2 Akorays (AA-sized version). I have not heard that it is not good to run 14500 till they are empty of charge/energy. Did I read you guys correctly that it's indeed not good to use up 14500s all the way? (that is, you should recharge with some juice...

    Curious about the best non-modified 2 or 3D light

    i've read some very glowing review about the Husky 200 light using 2D, I think. Are there other strong candidates in the area of D lights. One criterion: do no count lights that have to get a drop-in and other specialized bulbs. In general what are the runtimes on D lights? It seems that...

    BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part X)

    Re: BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part 10) BessieBenny, thank you very much for your very nice review of Akoray AA. I have the older, 6-mode version, and just ordered a 3-mode programmable version. Can't wait! I have two quick questions which I hope you...

    AKOray AA & AAA Review + RUNTIME

    What? That is messed up. I like my 6-mode Akoray like from DX, but I want to get a 3-programmable mode one at some point. Now I'm not sure what I may be getting in the mail if I order one. Did this happen to other people? Is the 3-mode programmable light is in stock? Did you get one recently?

    Show your Solarforce

    The solarforce T4 looks nice. So is the lantern that comes with it. What do people normally use that clip for?

    AKOray AA & AAA Review + RUNTIME

    Runtimes for Akoray AA I have the original 6-mode light. Now it comes in 3-adjustable modes, so I don't know if there is a big difference or not. I didn't test it on high because I didn't want to leave it on for that long (it gets a little warm; not hot, but still), but medium is not that far...

    AKOray AA & AAA Review + RUNTIME

    i'm sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere (if so please point out or give me a quick answer), but i'm using TrustFire 14500 batteries with my AA-sized Akoray (I have the older, 6-mode, rather than the adjustable 3-mode). I'm very pleased with the brightness! It is very...

    Can I use cooking (vegetable) oil as lube?

    I know this is non-standard, but I wonder if that works for my flashlight's threads? thanks.

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    Peter, it seems that this would work for you: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17593 It only has one mode, but it allows ramping. It has a very low, low also. It is perfect for me except that it doesn't have multiple modes! (It only has one mode, despite the description)

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    Great, thanks. I somehow overlooked those. (I did look through the list, but didn't spot those). 100% 50% and 5% sounds like a perfect set up for me. I was checking out the review (found on this thread) about the adjustable module: 17593 (on DX). It seems to be just what I have been looking...
