    Cell phone's camera flash LED as a light anyone?

    My question is, with bright capable flashlights now being the size of your pinky finger (Maratac AAA, Fenix LD01, Streamlight Microstream, etc.), why would anyone who is "into" flashlights not always have a flashlight on them? Sure, I'd love to carry a 2xCR123 light around all the time, but...

    County Comm Maratac AAA Rev 3

    I just got the AAA Rev 3 a few days ago. I have had the AAA Rev 1 for a couple of years now, and I loved it. I think I'll like this Rev 3 even more. Here are the differences from my Rev 1, in case anyone is interested: • The Rev 3 has a longer knurling surface which covers almost the entire...

    "Night Visits" to wherever

    My wife is very sensitive to light, and our bedroom is still very dark (this time of year) when I get up and get dressed for work in the morning. Without some kind of low light, I wouldn't be able to tell if my socks matched! But anything brighter than 20 or 30 lumens coming on in a very dark...

    Anyone Ever Modded a Streamlight Super Tac?

    Does anyone at least own a Super Tac, that might have an idea whether or not it's possible to mod or upgrade?

    Anyone Ever Modded a Streamlight Super Tac?

    My dad and I both have the original single-output Steamlight Super Tac (I believe it was rated at 130 lumens). This is still by far the best throwing light I own, due to the ugly but very effective "dinner bell" reflector. The light came with what Streamlight calls the C4 LED. It has a nice...

    When is it too much modes?

    In order of my preference, they are: • 2 modes • 1 mode • 3 modes • Everything else For my uses, 2 modes is just right (high and low), with 3 modes being about my maximum, before I start getting annoyed. Sure, I have a Zebralight H51Fc with 7 modes, but I really only use 3 of them. In...

    Flood or Throw - what's more important to you?

    I voted throw, because it is more important to me, even though flood is often more useful to me. Here is what I mean - When you really need a bright light to see something RIGHT NOW - whether it is 5 feet away, or 100 feet away, a throwy light will do it (with the possible downside of too...

    Do you carry a flashlight 24/7?

    At home, any number of lights are within arm's reach, or just a few steps away. At my desk at work, there is always a Surefire or 2 standing next to my computer. At all other times, I have a flashlight of some kind in my pocket. So technically I don't carry a flashlight 24/7, but I am within...

    Re: FS: Homemade Surefire A2 Aviator LED rings (2nd Run) *OPEN* Received my single-mode warm white ring yesterday - thank you. What a difference from the factory "angry blue" (white) LED ring! This warm white ring is a very welcome change to my A2. I think this will be my new low-light house...

    What are your thoughts on the direction of future flashlight tech going forward?

    I agree, here. I am ready for someone to come out with some affordable high-quality 95+CRI warm white pure-flood LED strips to integrate into a kitchen, above the stove top, on a dimmer switch. Or in a bathroom, above the mirror. Or anywhere! It would be so nice to bathe my home in rich...

    Sold/Expired Homemade Surefire A2 Aviator LED rings (2nd Run) *CLOSED*

    Re: FS: Homemade Surefire A2 Aviator LED rings (2nd Run) *OPEN* Hi there, calipsoii - I've had my A2 Incan for about a year and half now, and have been following this thread off and on ever since. But I just can't take it anymore. I'll take a single-mode warm white ring, please. Thank you...

    Sold/Expired NEW XML2 90 + HIGH CRI P60 / D26 Replacement Modules

    Re: 90+ HIGH CRI CREE XML P60 / D26 replacement modules. Dave, My 3-mode 2.8A unit with OP reflector arrived today. I am thrilled with the tint. Against a white wall, I cannot see any difference in color/tint between a Lumens Factory HO-4 on a fresh 17670 and this Nailbender 90+CRI XM-L...

    Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing..

    Re: Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing.. Well, the Thrunite XM-L drop-in I have been testing the last 2 days still lights up a 2.35-2.6V CR123 in a P60 body with a dummy cell. I don't have any CR123s with lower resting voltage than that, so I don't know...

    Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing..

    Re: Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing.. Yeah, I saw that, but it would require me to purposely sacrifice one of my perfectly good P60 lamps (don't have any burned-out P60s laying around). For about half the price of a Surefire P60 lamp assembly, you can...

    Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing..

    Re: Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing.. So looking around on Lighthound, I found a Solarforce LC-1 Cree R5 3-mode P60 drop-in that is listed with an input voltage of 0.8V-4.2V. Does that mean it will light up with a CR123 that has anything more than 0.8V...
