    HDS Systems EDC # 19

    Most interesting will be to discover how well a Good Night Cinderella can deliver HiCri fidelity in single digit and sublumen modes, where HDS dominates. The idea of High Cri low modes is considered oxymoronic, if any design is up to the task of producing HiFi at lower modes, the 'Three ought...

    Torch With an 18650 On A Plane???

    ^ Exactly, It is all about profiling these days… It is good to see that in regard to the OP we can all agree, and our desire to relieve any concerns/doubts (at least regarding flashlights under 7 inches, and batteries less than 100 WH) we are in total agreement and sympathy. I will not even try...

    Torch With an 18650 On A Plane???

    LOL…. Try to get in touch with reality, and the OP ! Have you ever heard of the 7-inch rule? This post is not about arguing some indefensible alphabet soup gobbledygook with TSA security people regarding what one obtuse supposed reference MAY, or may not be saying while you miss your flight...

    There are a multitude of dealers advising what is permitted to send overseas, and what requires a license, the information is available to anybody who spends time looking....here is a quote from the Optics Planet site. You notice it does include hand held tactical lights as requiring a license...

    Torch With an 18650 On A Plane???

    Yes, you are more likely to have security screening problems if anything resembles a possible weapon. Federal regulations prohibit the exportation of tactical flashlights; large lights raise suspicion, especially if heavy because of batteries they contain. It is a good idea to carry printed...

    Torch With an 18650 On A Plane???

    Any airline can decide what they will allow, but virtually all follow I.A.T.A. regulations. The newest 2017 revision continues to allow cells, and groupings of cells up to 100 WH. Anker and other makers of common external packs do not exceed that size. Power tool packs might be too powerful. The...

    1 x AAA Lights and Regulation

    Sorry, try this... 1). Zebralight et.al. can rightfully claim not to use PWM (pulse width modulation), but they still use PWM (pulse whatever modulation). 2.) If you want to get the most efficiency from your energy cells, think about the old fashioned flashlights most of us were accustomed to...

    1 x AAA Lights and Regulation

    AFAIK…there are two basic types of regulation, since there are two basic categories of drivers; constant-voltage and constant-current. Either basic class of driver, CC or CV might employ PWM to control lumen output. CV drivers provide flexibility up to the maximum power rating, and are...

    Not normally. I would not attempt it unless they specifically claim to be.
