    Id'ing bulbs for acceptable voltage, consequences when wrong

    Yes, you are way more right than wrong. I don't know what I don't know. And yes P60 dropins are about 90% of what I've been concentrating on. To really complicate things, I have a box of PentegonLights, some with the large reflector (and of course non-working). I sorta like these lights (the...

    Id'ing bulbs for acceptable voltage, consequences when wrong

    Thanks guys, I'll try to put this knowledge to use. I have the tools (pretty much) but the hand dexterity of an ape, I can drive a nail tho (if it's a big one) :) I had seen the emitter index, and thought maybe I could kinda use that, but without understanding of the electronics (driver/circuit)...

    Id'ing bulbs for acceptable voltage, consequences when wrong

    Ok, I have seen the thread on identifiing emitters, that's a start. My problem- Everytime I have seen a new mo-better LED bulb, I decided to try one. Many of the bulbs came with a sticker on them with the Q5 (or whatever) and voltage range, altho some don't. It was not so hard to keep up with...

    I used a PentagonLight while digging thru my ditty box looking for flashlight parts to make another light work, hobbling together a few working PentagonLights from a box full of non-working lights that I collected over the last few years. I am new to this site (as a member) but have visited here...

    Re: Anybody else had problems with DealExtreme (DX)?

    Re: Anybody else had problems with DealExtreme (DX)? October 2010 , I ordered 5 or 6- w501 flashlights, several 18650 batteries and chargers, the order was lost. Prior to that, I always received my order in 15-17 days. I filed a lost order claim but hoping to receive these lights in time for...

    Equally Useful Gadgets that go well with Flashlights

    I have one of my knives on me more than anything else (if I have pockets), next a pistol, and then a flashlight. I have a smallish light on my keys, gotta have light. Each of those- I find addictive. AND, at work I have (in addition to required PPE) a flashlight, a knife AND a Gerber multi-tool...
