    SPORTAC® P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac™ LLC

    Thanks for doing the runtime test :thumbsup: Thats about the worst 'regulation' I've seen for a flashlight in a long time. Even AMC7135 type linear regulation is pretty good as long as your battery voltage is above Vf and the overall efficiency on one Li-Ion isn't too bad either if meassured...

    Modding a SF KL4 Head and my indecisiveness

    I really wish there were somebody who would do modding service on my KL1 gen 1 or KL1 gen 2. I have even taken them apart (partially anyway) so I don't think it should be too hard, but it seems nobody are doing them anymore.

    Sold/Expired TNT SingLED modules for Surefire incan E-series

    I just received my Singled with XPG2. These modules represent excelent craftsmanship! Really nice a clean work. The beam profile is one that I don't have in any other light I own. Extremely wide spill with a well defined hotspot. A lot of the lumens are going into the spill so it's kinda like...

    Will an over-discharge li-ion battery explode?

    This a good question that I also haven't found a definitive answer to, but logic tells me that if it isn't holding any charge, it doesn't hold any energy and therefore can't explode/vent with flame unless one tries to charge it but I'm certainly not sure about this logic. I hope someone who...

    Foursevens Quark Tactical QT2L-X Burst Mode review

    Yes I'm aware of that, but I already own the 200 lumen XP-G and there is also not much difference between 200 and 300, but 400 would (for me) justify an upgrade .

    Foursevens Quark Tactical QT2L-X Burst Mode review

    Thanks for this excellent review. Is it possible to select a mode that runs 410 lumens throughout the runtime without the initial 800 lumens burst? High mode seem to be around 300 lumens - correct?

    SPORTAC® P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac™ LLC

    Re: SPORTAC® P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC Hmm - so it's apparently out of regulation on one 18650 and so no constant output runtime. It doesn't sound much different from the all the AMC7135 based drivers out there. I was hoping that finally a 2-3 amp buck/boost driver was developed in the P60...

    Tri XP-G / XP-E P60 Drop-In

    Mac, do you have any runtime graphs with one 18650? Has it got fully regulated flatline output on one 18650? Thanks Jan

    Standard QUARK vs XML?

    Standard QUARK vs XML?

    Also beware that XML lights tend to have tint variation across the beam where as most XPGs have nice uniform color across the beam. Jan

    Quick question - can I used my Pila IBC Charger to recharge 3.0v RCR123s?

    Oh didn't know that about the soshine cells - thanks for pointing it out Dave :thumbsup:

    Quick question - can I used my Pila IBC Charger to recharge 3.0v RCR123s?

    In short - no. The Pila IBC charges to 4.15-4.18 volts which would ruin your 3.0 volt RCRs.

    Manafont Stepless Brightness Control XM-L T6 200M Diver Flashlight (2x18650)

    Anyone tried this http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/stepless-brightness-control-xml-t6-200m-diver-flashlight-2x18650-p-7353 from Manafont? It's extremely cheap so I have my doubts about durability, but from the pictures it doesn't look bad. It's looks like a XTAR D06 clone but with two...
