    Maelstrom S12, is it worth it over the X10?

    personally I got the x10. I already have a xpg quark aa2, which is a medium throw light (and relatively floody) and not that all that bright (~200 lumens). it's good for short range use, and the one I'd probably use more. I was thinking I'd have the x10 for when I wanted to see something far...

    Great mod-able bike headlight: Planet Bike 2 Watt Blaze

    I recently bought a 2 watt Blaze light from Planet bike for $40 from eBay. I didn't like the beam pattern too much (too narrow, it uses something similar to a TIR instead of a reflector), and the tint (slightly purple). It turns out the head cover is a snap in (snaps on the left and right...

    G5 Maelstrom stops working - Help!

    True. Wish 4Sevens had better switches. I took apart one (and fixed it) and realized that the switch part is actually as small as the clicky of a regular ball point pen (actually, same mechanism, at least for the Quark Tacticals). Also wished 4Sevens lights had better cleaning and quality...

    On Woot: 8/8/2010 Remington High-Powered LED Headlight

    Pretty good deal, not sure how it compares to the energize hard case, which are rated at 60 lumens (I think). Overall, at $20, this should be a pretty good deal. Also, this should more appropriately be posted at http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/forumdisplay.php?f=82

    New guy with and old question: What is the BRIGHTEST LED production flashlight?

    Following what they said: don't just look for the brightest. If you want a huge light that doesn't fit in your pocket, you can get about 2000 lumens with a LED. Of if you want more power, get a HID. For "pocketable" lights, you can get quite a few hundred lumens. However, it also depends on...

    If you could only have 1 fixed lumen output?

    Over nine thousand! lumens! Actually, about a hundred or maybe a lil more. As I see it, I need a flashlight to see when it's dark. At night, I can navigate the house diark, and could live without 2 lumens or .2 lumens (in fact, I've done that since I was a child). However, when I want a...

    4Sevens build quality, could use better quality control

    For the longest time (actually, since 4Sevens started making flashlights), I've expected/hoped that their build quality would be on par with Fenix. However, after about 10 purchases, and half as many refunds, I still feel that their build is definitely not on par. 4Sevens really does innovate...

    Can you "see" 20 lumens?

    Realistically, no, you can't see 20 lumens on top of 125 lumens. (You can, however, see 5 vs 25 lumens very very easily). Also, 18650 will provide far better runtime :)

    Fenix LD20 and battery options

    Hello! I have sad news for you. Alkalines suck in any high powered flashlight. High power flashlights need high current draw at a reasonable voltage. No alkalines are physically capable of providing that much current, or if they do, the voltage will drop drastically. I haven't heard that the...

    Don't costly CR123 reduce the use/value of flashlights?

    I see so many people like the quality of Surefire and I do too, but the fact that they use CR123 means that I'm sticking with AA lights. Do you use some form of rechargeable for your surefires (or other CR123 light) whether its 16340 or 17670, or do you just consume batteries at $1 each? And...

    $30 Ra clicky. ;)

    Yeah, I try and just tell them that I don't want to talk about the price. They're usually left puzzled, but don't ask beyond that. Most people don't understand, especially when they're used to $10 flashlights.

    who's repsonsible if a battery currodes inside torch?

    Calculators, flashlights, alarm clocks, toys... yes

    who's repsonsible if a battery currodes inside torch?

    I'd say it's the users responsibility. Of course, Duracell and Maglite offer some kind of warranty policy--but as said, it should be a known fact that batteries leak.

    quark mini AA & CR123 users thread

    Soo... when will XP-G R5 not be green tint? Of all the lights I've ever used so far, the Mini AA has been most satisfactory. Only two quirks I have with it are the tint (really annoying) and the dimness for AA (not really annoying). Other problems I've had with lights (L2D: SOS mode); (Quark...
