    Advice requested :- AW 14500 Lithium and

    Hi guys, I'm switching over from 2xAA to 1xAA size for my edc. A Sunwayman V11R with AA extender is on order. I am also making the leap towards Lithium power and would like your opinion on the following items:- AW 14500 3.7V 750mAh Protected Rechargeable Battery (Is there anything out...

    2xAA :- Quark Turbo QB2A vs. Javelin Dereelight vs. Eagletac D25A2 Clicky

    Ok. I don't suppose you are referring to 'nailbender' as the individual selling those P60 drop-ins. I just had a look at his thread and now I am having a complete rethink of the Javelin. Since I have a bunch of lego accessories for it including an extended battery compartment that can take...

    2xAA :- Quark Turbo QB2A vs. Javelin Dereelight vs. Eagletac D25A2 Clicky

    Is Deerelight offering an option for the XP-E2, or did you get this emitter from somewhere else ?

    2xAA :- Quark Turbo QB2A vs. Javelin Dereelight vs. Eagletac D25A2 Clicky

    I think another way of looking at it is the Javelin comes with 3 levels of output (low - Med - Hi) and nothing else, whereas the the Quark Turbo QB2A allows 2 programmable output at any one time from a choice of Moonlight-Low-Med-Hi-Max-SOS-Strobe-Beacon. They both bring different things to the...

    2xAA :- Quark Turbo QB2A vs. Javelin Dereelight vs. Eagletac D25A2 Clicky

    Thanks for the recommendation. I will reconsider going with the XP-E instead of the XP-G for the Javelin. As far as OP reflector, it is no longer an available option for the Javelin the last I spoke to Alan. You can only get the Smooth reflector now. I did toy with the idea of getting the...

    2xAA :- Quark Turbo QB2A vs. Javelin Dereelight vs. Eagletac D25A2 Clicky

    As a relatively newly minted flashlight guy, I wanted a 2xAA unit for my edc. In the end, I acquired the 3 lights in the titled thread, though not without experimentation and re-assessment along the journey. Selfbuilt has done comprehensive reviews on some of these lights, so I will not...

    Need opinions on Quarks 2xAA :- Tactical QT2A vs. Turbo QB2A vs. Pro QP2A

    Thanks guys. Good info. Again, let me clarify I am not dissatisfied with Eagletac, despite some minor qc issues with their early batch of clickys. I have absolutely no qualms about packing an Eagletac for my edc needs. Fact is I'm new to flashlights and somewhat bitten by the bug....a...

    Need opinions on Quarks 2xAA :- Tactical QT2A vs. Turbo QB2A vs. Pro QP2A

    Hello guys. Let me explain my situation. I have edc'ed an Eagletac D25A2 Clicky 2xAA with XPG Cool White for over a year now. I was an early adopter of this flashlight not long after Eagletac released them for sale. I like the unit and its utility and will be happy to retain it but, in as...

    Received the worst insult since becoming a flashaholic

    Yeah well, I'm one of those who own a Samsung Galaxy S2 and did the flashlight app routine and thought I was so smart and all set for the zombie apocalypse until I tried to shine the thing on a noise 20/30 feet yonder. You'd think with a flash as bright as the one for the Galaxy's camera would...

    will mobile phone flashlight apps stop the need to edc a flashlight

    I use to think that way until I shone my mobile flashlight at a noise source 20 feet away and found out it had pathetic throw.

    How long can we keep Sanyo Eneloops in flashligts ?

    Hi guys, Just need to get an idea about this. I have two edc flashlights (Eagletac D25A2 & Dereelight Javelin), each of which I keep loaded with 2x Sanyo Eneloops at all times. Intermittent use 2 to 3 times per week for total times each session of 30 seconds to 1 minute at mostly low to...

    Recommend me a 2AA thrower that is better than the Eagletac D25A2 Clicky w/ XP-G S2

    Thanks guys. I must say this forum is quite the end-word when it comes to advice on flashlights. Yes, hopefully ET will sort out their xt-e units sometime. Be interesting to see how well the xt-e stacks up against the competition. Meantime, CarpentryHero certainly piqued my interest on the...
