Has anyone ever noticed that the 3D has a slimmer barrel diameter than the other D sizes? I wonder why?
3D = 1 1/4" (31.75mm)
2D,4D,5D,6D = 1 9/16" (39.67)

Buck,
I also have a EL Tri-Star 4D. We are in a small group. Wayne said he made less than 100 of these. These were state of the art back in 2004 when i got mine.
Anyways a cheap way to make your light brighter is to use NiMh D's. I used Alkalines when i first got the light. When i switched to...
My favorite Mag dealer because you can see how many they have in stock of each size:

UltraFire TH-1300L 7*SSC U2 3-Mode 1300-Lumen LED Flashlight (3*18650)
Has anyone gotten one yet? I like the short stubby look vs the long 3 in row 18650 look. The price of $126 is good as long as it performs well.

I did a little more research & found out that SL used to claim:
• 43 lumens, 10 LEDs
• 21 lumens, 5 LEDs
now they claim:
• 79 lumens, 10 LEDs
• 48 lumens, 5 LEDs
I'm curious if Streamlight has "updated" the LEDs with whiter, brighter, more modern ones in the last 5 years? Has anyone bought one lately? They do have a nice video of it on their website & the LEDs look very white now & don't look blue-ish like they did in the original flashlightreviews.com...
aubie,
The Survivor LED says:
USE OF LITHIUM AA CELLS WILL DAMAGE THE
LIGHT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
I can understand why they mean not to use 3.6v lithium AA's but why can't we use 1.5v Energizer lithium AA's? I don't use alkaline batteries any longer because i've ruined several lights &...
Anyone have any experience with this light good or bad? [link removed]
A 20w HID for $96 is a great price provided it performs well. We all remember the GP771 disaster!!!

Flash,
I've decided to get the IMR26500 C cells from AW: http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=184887
The length is 50mm & width 26mm, which is the normal C size. These LiFePO4 are 65mm long which are an odd length for me.
Here is the cell: http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4796
25500 is the exact size of a C cell but are not LiFePO4 safe chemistry: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5035
I'm not worried about the extra length only the diameter. Would 26mm be too wide? It...
