    Streamlight 4AA ProPolymer Luxeon replacement

    I too still use this light regularly. It sits on our counter and is the goto light for our family. Even with all the newer, more powerful LED and incan lights that I have, there is something about this light that sets it apart.

    I bought the batteries from Amazon. I called them back and there is only 1 online merchant they approve of: theessentials.com

    Melted ProPoly

    Dang MacTech, where do you live, in a swamp? 100% DEET is some strong stuff! You can keep those skeeters down your way, I live in the County and don't need 100% to repel these birds. Gasoline works much better! hehe

    Duracell 2650 batteries dying

    I called Duracell yesterday about my 16 bad AA NiMH Duracells. They told me to not buy their batteries off the internet. They told me to use their (Duracell) charger. As a "goodwill" gesture, they are sending me coupons for 16 free AA NiMH batteries and a free Duracell charger (if I heard...

    Duracell 2650 batteries dying

    I'm using a Maha C401FS With my luck the batteries are probably Chinese counterfeits! They won't hold a charge.

    Duracell 2650 batteries dying

    Sheesh! I bought a load of Duracell 2650 mAh nimh off Amazon about 6 months back and they are all taking a dive. These are made in Japan. I've read of another brand and similar problems. I bought these to avoid the high cost of alkaline AA and now the cost to replace all of these is...

    Under $30, I like the Venture from Kai Domain. 2 levels, long run time and bright! Has regulation per curve on Kai Domain.

    Kai's new approach to new lights

    Just got my latest light from Kai after a month wait. It's the Venture show here: https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=1254 I am impressed with the output, the fact that it has high and low and it's runtime (3 hr. high, 10 hr. low). I did notice that the edge of the LED...

    LumaPower MRV - 100 & 200 m Beamshots & Runtimes! MRV Deconstructed. Now FluPic'd!

    Re: LumaPower MRV - Now with 100 & 200 m Beamshots & Runtimes!!!!!!!!!!! On a $100+ flashlight this is unacceptable in my opinion.

    Kai's new approach to new lights

    Reluctantly, I have to say I'm not going to buy from Kai anytime in the near future either. DealExtreme has also appeared on my radar as someone else to watch. I'm beginning to think that you do get what you pay for and for consistent quality products and good delivery times I need to look...

    I lost my SL4AA and it was found after I bought a replacement

    Re: My SL4AA = gone... buy another, or something else? Yes! Replace it with like in kind. The SL PP 4aa is an awesome light and still is. When you factor in it's run time, throw and general useability, it's still one of my favorite lights. If Streamlight releases this light with cree or...

    Got gassed by LIR 3.6v!

    My Semilar (from Kai) was screwing on and off with difficulty. I assumed grit had got in the threads from carrying it in my pocket. I unscrewed the cap to check the o-ring and threads for grit. I was looking at it rather closely and wondered what type of grease was on the o-ring. I used a...

    LumaPower MRV - 100 & 200 m Beamshots & Runtimes! MRV Deconstructed. Now FluPic'd!

    Re: LumaPower MRV - Now with 100 & 200 meter beamshots!!!!!!!!!!! In your beamshots... If the camera exposure was held constant in the different shots, it looks like the D-Mini has better flood than the MRV and I actually prefer the flood+throw combination of the D-Mini to the MRV.
