    Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **NEW BEAMSHOTS ADDED**

    No, you should wait a while before turning it back on, 1 minute at least I think. You CAN restrike it if you have to, but it's not recomended (wears it out a lot faster).

    Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **NEW BEAMSHOTS ADDED**

    I don't know about replacement bulbs, but the ff3 can be bought for $270 from China. It's the first hit when you google "fire foxes ff3", and everyone seems to have had a good experience buying from them (including me). There are two left in stock right now.

    Battle in the woods II: SR51 vs. Firefox I vs. Fire Fox III

    So, it's about the same size as the FF3 (2cm longer). It has 2 brightness settings, where high is 5000 lumens. Less than 10 min runtime on high. 60+ minutes on low. Sounds cool, but I think I'll stick with the FF3.

    Battle in the woods II: SR51 vs. Firefox I vs. Fire Fox III

    I got mine a few days ago, and I'm very impressed. So impressed in fact, that I ordered another one :whistle: Mine is pretty loud during startup, but the noise goes away after about 10 seconds. After that I have to put the light next to my ear to hear it. I wish SMO was an option, but I'm not...

    Looking for a "thrower"

    True, but the FF3 still throws pretty well. 1000-2000 foot range should be ok. The FF3 is a new light with no proven track record, so I agree that there are other lights I would rather trust my life with (like the polarion). I mentioned it because it's compact, takes 18650 batteries and should...

    Looking for a "thrower"

    The L35 from batteryjunction ( http://www.batteryjunction.com/titanium-l35.html ) is a robust and affordable HID. It's not exactly pretty, but it sure is practical and the handle makes it easy to carry around. It uses special battery packs though, and if you want spares they are pretty expensive...

    Explosion in Oslo, Norway

    He will most likely get sentenced with "forvaring", which means after his regular sentence is finished they can still keep him locked up. He's probably never getting out of jail.

    Have you ever broken a trit

    The same thing happened to me when I installed a trit in the head of one of my lights. I don't know how or why the trit broke, as it was covered in norland. Anyway, I just dug the trit and norland out with a thin (cheap) knife. I was careful not to scratch the titanium and used a needle to...

    White lasers

    I think a white laser would require many laser diodes and DPSS lasers in different colors. All the beams would then have to be collimated into one single beam. It can be done, but it's probably quite expensive and I doubt it would be pocketable... Sounds like you need a flashlight with an...

    How do you rank your country?

    Britain isn't a part of mainland Europe :P Awesome movie though! On topic: Cool to see a list without Norway in 1st place for once (even if it is from Newsweek). I'm so sick of hearing "Well, we live in the best country in the world so stop complaining", like there's no room for improvement...

    Best (classy) tritium watch?

    Are they using the tritium gas tubes, or the tritium paint? Also, what brand are they? I saw a ball diver in person, and it was quite bright; about the same as what luminova looks like a few minutes after a full charge.

    Best (classy) tritium watch?

    Luminova is bright enough to see if you wake up in the middle of the night and your eyes are totally dark adapted. However, if for example you're watching a movie in a pitch black room (like the cinema), your eyes won't be adapted to the dark and luminova will probably be too dim after an hour...

    Best (classy) tritium watch?

    Ball, no question. There might be some custom options too, I don't know.
