    Xtar VP1 & AW RCR123a?

    Chris the VP1 has 3 modes, 0.25, 0.5 & 1.0 - I've been charging my 14500's @ 0.25 Anyways, good to hear the AW RCR123a should work fine. I'm assuming it should be charged @ 0.25a then Just seemed strange i couldn't find an answer easily Considering the M10 as a weapon light Thanks for the...

    Xtar VP1 & AW RCR123a?

    I have an XTAR VP1 & it is unclear if it would support an AW RCR123a? I did a bit of searching around but didn't see a definitive answer. The VP1 lists a 16340, which my understanding is that's a reference to size not battery type. So, why does the VP1 not list RCR123a? What am i missing? I'm...

    FordEx Group LED lights - anyone have experience with them?

    I have several, and actually just ordered another 3 mode today. Brightness is a good value, i would say it's at least 85-90LM on AA if not closer to 100. The zoom is pretty cool, it can hit trees from a good distance. Entertainment value. They can be a bit inconsistent depending on who you...

    L3 Illumination L10 Protected or Unprotected 14500?

    Re: Using 14500 in L3 IlluminationL10 Got my AW 14500's & the VP1 today. Everything working great. Pretty bright. L10 provides more than enough. AW's work fine in my generic Fordex amazon specials too. Pretty cool how far it can throw with the zoom. I might pick up another amazon special, or...

    L3 Illumination L10 (XP-G2 R5 or Nichia 219, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMS, VIDEO+

    I would say the clip securing to the L10 is just as important as the strength/retention of the clip itself. This clip really fails on both fronts. I'm not sure about +/-permanently attaching this clip to the L10, as its flimsiness is a real issue. If anyone has a recommendation (from...

    L3 Illumination L10 (XP-G2 R5 or Nichia 219, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMS, VIDEO+

    Got my Natural 4 mode XPG2R5 L10 today and I'm really pleased with the overall quality. The clip falls short of its $2.50 add-on price though :/ Not sure if i'm going to glue it on or what yet.

    XTAR VP1 - removing cells before charge is "finished"?

    Thanks for answering this. This was a question i also had (mostly out of paranoia) soon to be VP1 owner. Good stuff.

    lights you regret buying? why?

    Couple weeks before joining the CPF i bought a ($12) Coast HP4 off of LAPoliceGear. I guess it has decent battery life but it's really unimpressive.

    Anything Besides Eneloop?

    I've been using AA Powerex 2700's for a couple of years in the external flash of my camera, flashlights, toys etc w/a LaCrosse BC-700. Never had a problem with them.

    1xAAA Suggestion

    Guys, i decided to go with the L3 L10. I will probably consider a AAA (likely i3s) down the road though. Everyone's insight & suggestions were really helpful. I've learned a lot in the last week or so. Completely changed my initial newb perspectives

    L3 Illumination L10 (XP-G2 R5 or Nichia 219, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMS, VIDEO+

    Hi guys, soon to be newb L10 owner here. Have a couple battery questions. On the topic of 14500 batteries, thinking AW, not sure which AWIMR14500 AW14500P My understanding is the Black AW14500P is the better of the two but the button looks a bit more recessed on it compared to the...
