    Replacing the L1T v2.0

    But nowhere near the same as it's way way way fatter. It's shorter length is a bonus, but comes at the cost of taking a less common battery. AA's are sold nearly everywhere. CR123A's aren't.

    Fenix LD12 stuck tailcap

    I had the same idea regarding the blue-ish stuff. Maybe some co-worker "pranked" me when borrowing my light. Loctite 243 (blue) and 270 (green) are relatively close by. But I highly doubt it. But the white stuff looks like some sort of corrosion. I've had a alu bicycle frame corrode under the...

    What did you upgrade to?

    Fenix LD12 stuck tailcap

    What part of "regularly took both caps off" was written in French??? I added ~10 layers of insulating tape (the good stuff) to both body and rear cap and using two pipe wrenches it came loose. Photo of result is attached. I was really surprised. Either way; I cleaned and re-lubed the the...

    Fenix LD12 stuck tailcap

    I have a LD12... bought new, greased the threads and O-rings and regularly took both caps off. However, all of a sudden I can't take the rear cap off. So far I have tried; *Rubber bands over body and rear cap for more grip... but it's not budging... my hands are delaminating, the rubber bands...

    Replacing the L1T v2.0

    To necro it some more; I lost my L1T after 13 years and replaced it by a LD12. Pleasantly surprised. Easier 1-handed level change and no more coil whine.

    Maglite (LED) - Unable to remove button/switch (set screw doesn't turn?)

    Did you already clean the contact between rear cap and tube? The set screw is sometimes very tight.

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2017 SB800 can take 4, but is supplied with a holder that repaces the battery cap with a holder for a 5th battery. With five it recharges a lot faster after each flash and lasts longer on a set. In the past I've used left-over sets of 3 in a Maglite...

    20700 Cells - Somebody Must Be Using Them

    I have eight of them to build two batterypacks. Not assembled yet. I wasn't after high discharge currents either. Just a nice way to get more capacity without extra batteries, BMS, charger, leads, connectors. Not unpacked them yet though. Once finished, the packs should be a nice upgrade...

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2017 You are now parttime located in NL? Those colors are nice. The Ocean ones before overlapped with previous colored sets and the normal ones, these don't. But I need sets of five, so I would end up with four left over :/ (Yes, Nikon SB-800 flash...

    Storing LSD NiMH D cells fully charged

    That all suddenly explains why my Nikon D300 keeps complaining about 'empty' AA's in the grip, even though they are 60% full.

    Got the NEW Maglite ML25IT 2C

    €38 now; https://www.amazon.de/dp/B017NE1PDQ/ https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01BSL3DRQ/ And two different versions, with weird differences. (length, year) €20 was too good to be true anyway looking at past prices of Maglites here.

    Got the NEW Maglite ML25IT 2C

    Where!? I only see one for 20 euros. Would be nice if Maglite finally fixed their European availability. I've not done much with modding lights lately. All I did was fix two 9AA packs by getting Eneloops for them. I just found out Maglite changed it's lineup. The new head on the C lights looks...
