    Olight S30 Baton review (1000 lm,XM-L2,18650/2xRCR123A)

    Can you use 16340s in it. Olight does not list them as being compatable with the S30 but they are listed for the S30R. I have also read reviews on other sites that the reviewer lists 16340s and 18350s as compatable, but I do not know where they get their info. I would not want to fry the light...

    New Klarus RS20: a "twin eye" flashlight

    Can the Klarus 3400 mah battery be used in the RS20? It has the same bipolarity of the 2600 but the listing of campatability exclude the RS20.

    Is there such a charger?

    As already stated CottonP will no longer be providing chargers. The Redilast is available in 100, 250, and 500mA versions. The 250 I am using now is giving me termination voltages of 4.28, which is higher than I like. Also, it cannot be used with NiMh. Suntactics offers some of the better solar...

    Old Surefire 6p now unreliable- need recommendations.

    Just talked to Gene at Malkoff concerning the same problem I was having with one of his drop ins in a M2. Wrapped a bit of tinfoil around the drop in per his suggestion and no more prob.

    MBI #3 - Codename: HF

    Just curious about your chargers. Cottonpicker is no longer providing chargers on CPF. Will you still be able to get them, or are you going to have to find someone else? I am on your notification list for both lights and chargers is why I ask?

    ZeroHour XD (XM-L2, 3x18650 3400mAh, USB charging) Review: RUNTIME, BEAMSHOTS+more

    Overall length is OAL. 18650 (protected) have a large spread in lengths with some at 70mm. Knowing what the OAL of the included cells would provide a perspective buyer with the option of buying the X version and providing cells longer in length provided the XD/XS 18650s are not already on the...

    ZeroHour XD (XM-L2, 3x18650 3400mAh, USB charging) Review: RUNTIME, BEAMSHOTS+more

    I had looked at this light with interest but wished it had a low of around 1lm. The X version is $70.00 less and comes minus batteries and the carabiner tail cap. A less expensive option for those who already have batts. What was the OAL of the 18650s included with the XD? Knowing this maybe...

    What do you keep next to your bed?

    For years I kept a SF U2 set on low. For the last three or four years a SF Kroma mil-spec set on the yellow-green.

    stuck Surefire pocket clip

    I picked up a mint used A2 with the long pocket clip. The clip protrudes high enough to prevent the bezel from fully seating. Attempts to remove either the clip or wedge have failed. I cannot seat the clip further nor remove it. Looking for suggestions as to remedy the problem.

    Modern and readily available battery solution for vintage Surefire 6R?

    I also have a 6R that I have tried many combos on and have not been very satisfied with it. The R60 LA is pretty anemic even with fully charged B65s. Recently I installed A P60L and was amazed at the improvement. Not a solution to your battery question but a very simple solution to a significant...

    Surefire MN62 substitute

    Oooops, I meant N62 not MN. Yes, my N62 came with the 12ZM I bought some dozen years ago or more. What color is the N62? What LA is the purple bodied one? I do not want to toast the purple LA by running it in a four cell when it may be a 9v.

    Surefire MN62 substitute

    I am sure that this subject has beat on a few times but a search reveals no results. I have but one MN62 and have pretty much retired it. I have a couple of questions concerning this LA. First is what color was it (gunmetal gray)? I have several of the old color coded SF LAs and I cant keep it...

    Surefire Z3 question?

    I just received a used Z3 and want to know if all the pieces are correct. It has a Lexan lensed anti-roll bezel and a lock-out tail cap. The tail cap has no markings (i.e. 6, 9, 12z lights) to indicate the model and is a surefire.com version. The serial number has an A prefix and the number is...

    Will SF continue to support incans?

    I was wondering with the almost complete discontinuance of incan lights if SF will still produce lamps or drop them as well? I know that for myself, I have started looking at what LAs I already have on hand and which ones I should add. I am aware of the after-market but personally like the...

    What was the ONE light that got you hooked...

    I had many lights, having started using them in the mid-60s as a boy, but it was my first 6p in the 80s that really got me hooked.
