    A do-all camping light/what's your pick?

    Pop a globe type diffuser on there and you've got an area light in places where it's inconvenient to hang the light. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=3279368&postcount=27

    Mag battery/bulb options

    I've been studying the various Mag builds and from what you say you want, you would be better off using using two of your 18650s with a spacer. That gives you a more manageable voltage and opens up the use of 5 cell mag krypton, 6 cell magnum star as well as the Pelican L. You can build any...

    Trigger Pulled - Quark AA2 r2

    :twothumbs I don't think you will be dissapointed. I've had my AA2 R2 for about a week and I really love it. Superb fit and finish. The prism is a cool add on with the diffuser (it does suck up a lot of light, but works ok on high for area lighting). I also like the tint, seems very neutral...

    Preferably small EDC flood light?

    Solarforce LM (single cr123) + Malkoff M30LF. Nothing I've seen matches the Malkoff floods.

    Good value general light

    As a newbie, I've been doing a lot of reading here myself. And some buying..... :D One of the best deals on a general all around light I've found is the Nuwai TM115X. Body size is pretty standard for 2 X CR123a batteries, with a bulbous head to hold the spot to food optic. By no means is it the...

    Diffuser Film

    Lots of folks swear by WriteRight. I just got a few sheets from Waynejitsu and he was great to deal with. Here's the sales thread.

    Malkoff M60LF and M60F

    Try it out and if it's not bright enough I'm sure you could trade it in on the full power flood (30 day satisfaction guarantee). The only real problem I've had with mine is that now the rest of my flashlights seem kinda lame. :sigh:

    Malkoff M60LF and M60F

    Just got the M60LF for my G2 and I love it. Seems as bright as the Surefire standard lamp (rated 65 OTF), but lights up a whole room instead of just a 3 foot hot spot. Unless you need the additional brightness to tactically clear larger than normal rooms (or you just want that knock your socks...

    Best Book Light?

    I use the ultraflex 2, works great. I also have a 10 year old original model incandescent Mighty Bright that won't die, even though it's been dropped numerous times and beat to crap in my gig bag. Reasonably priced, great quality stuff.

    Stanley 5 Watt LED Spotlight

    Took a look at my local WMs, Stone Mtn had only the $39.99 version, Tucker had a whole rack of the $29.99 belt clip version. Well, I would have been losing money not to buy one.....:whistle:

    Titanium Innov N30 vs Stanley HID

    Seems like y'all are arguing apples and oranges. One is is an affordable "pro" type solution, the other an emergency light you use until the professionals get there. For me, I like to have the best tools I can afford. I get a lot of satisfaction from that, just plain pride of ownership. Others...

    LED Flash/Booklight with Flexible Neck Suggestions

    Can't really tell about how much wiggle room they built into those lights. If they are safe with Energizer lithium AAAs, then your adapter should work. Email Mighty Bright and ask. Otherwise, the Shack has a 4.5 volt adapter that should work. I run mine off an old multi mode converter at 4.5.

    (redneck) aspheric Mag bezel

    Sweet! Cheap and easy. I might have gone for the contrating silver/black look with Duct tape to highlight the mod.

    LED Flash/Booklight with Flexible Neck Suggestions

    Mighty Bright XtraFlex 2 at Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc. Uses 3 AAA batteries. Clip on or use the battery holder/clip as a base. Always had good luck with this brand. Joe
