    What is missing?

    I'd be in.

    Spectrums for a few bulbs

    Very interesting! Do you have access to some other LED based lights? A nichia 219 one, a xm-l2 one...etc I'd be quite curious to see some of those measured.

    Sold/Expired For Share: Surefire M6 bezel removal tool

    Does this one work on the older plastic rings?

    You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

    When I was much younger and biked my way around the school campus at night, I had found this forward attached mount for my bike so I could install my favorite surefire light on the handlebar and played around with it. Then, when I inevitably took a big spill from being an idiot, the very first...

    how "permanent" is artic silver thermal adhesive?

    There's an old trick with the artic silver/alumina two part epoxy in that you can make a 50/50 mix with the non-adhesive type ceramique and the epoxy and it will make it weak enough that you can easily remove it without damaging whatever your heatsink is glued to but still solid enough that...

    Anyone knows what is 4sevens ATOM ?

    I got mine today. Very happy with it. I wish the clip hole were slightly bigger but it's not a deal breaker. The magnet is definitively very strong; it can keep the light and my keys + a bunch of junk attached to my keychain stuck on a metallic surface horizontally to the ground. My only...

    Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) (Taking Orders Again)

    Re: Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) Definitively different protection circuits. I have redilast 3400s that won't power the t60cs vinh modded for me on its highest setting fresh off the charger and are all are less than half a year old. When I used 6 primary cells to test it, I was surprised that...

    Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) (Taking Orders Again)

    Re: Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) I've received the T60cs with 219 mod. Super happy with the brightness and runtime! I'm hoping to get some beamshots in when I get a chance over the weekend but so far it's a real pleasure to use... Now that I have a bigger 219 light, am I crazy for wishing to...

    Another Surefire 9AN conversion

    That looks fantastic! Did you replace the reflector entirely somehow or was there some machining magic involved? That little extra hole for the low output lamp has stopped modders from thinking about this line for as long as I remember...

    Surefire 9N: Keep, mod, or find it a new home?

    If you were able to source more than one of those collars, I'd also be interested, PCC. I've been running a lot of the old surefire rechargeables models with 18650s but the different format of the threads and lamps were always in the way of my mcgyvering...

    Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) (Taking Orders Again)

    Re: Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) That's correct. On the bright side, the runtime will improve and as far as this form factor is concerned, I don't truly need 1800 lumens from something of that size... even a third of that would be more than sufficient for my purposes if it's 4500k 92CRI lumens...

    Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) (Taking Orders Again)

    Re: Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) I was after a bigger and longer running 219-based light. I caught the 219 bug and I can't stand the low cri cool white leds outdoors anymore. The triple and quad p60 dropins are neat and all but I can't turn it on at max output and toss it on the ground while...

    Surefire Lego?

    How did you get your head to come off the body? Even with a heat gun, I think I pulled a muscle trying to get mine off...

    Surefire Hellfighter Batteries

    I'm lazy and found a set of surefire cables for cheap so I invested into a bb-2590 setup. If I had a hobby charger already and could summon the mettle to make my own cabling, I'd go with the much more elegant custom packs like the folks in the hellfighter thread on the hid forum section (check...

    Flashlights in Space

    Yeah, the price difference between cheap lights and expensive lights should be pretty negligible in the face of how much it costs to lift heavy equipment into orbit. I remember reading about old lunar landing era flashlights using silver oxide batteries a while ago... I wonder what happened to...
