    P7 performance in Mr. Bulk DragonHeart and Lionheart

    This sounds great. I'd love to have this done myself. How much does Mr. Bulk charge to mod the LionHeart with a P7, or did you do the mod yourself. Did anything else need to be changed or was it just an emitter swap? What about the reflector?

    How about a AA version of the Fenix E01 ?

    Yes! That is exactly what I want too. A AA version of the EO1 (twisty, 1 mode, inexpensive) only I want it to put out 15-20 lumens at 15-20 hours runtime with flat regulation. I'm pretty sure it can be done. If they could make the beam as smooth as my original Infinity Ultra, I would be first in...

    Fenix PD30 or L2D for night cycling?

    Neither. For night cycling an SSC P7 with a single 18650 is the only way to go. I got a couple lights from DX for about $40 ea. They put out well over 300 lumens each and run for over an hour on 1 18650. If I'm going to be out more than an hour I carry spare 8650s and swap them out. You can...

    Help a newbie with info on making a battery pack.

    I have a 3 CREE light that I got from DX, and I want to use the head as a bike light with an external battery pack. The light is powered by 4 R123s, so I want to make an external battery pack with 4 protected 18650s for extra runtime. What is the best way to do this? Is there a plastic holder...

    Any lights that use 18650 and can take a P60 drop-in?

    Does anybody know if there are any lights that use protected a 18650 and can take a P60 drop-in? I am thinking about having my SF 6P bored to accept an 18650, but that would be only if I can't find other lights that fit my need. Thanks, Ken

    NEW SF Z59 clicky tail cap is dead!

    Okay, with two bad Surefire clickies and all of the positive reports about just taking them apart, I decided to have a go at fixing my own. I used a pin spanner and took the switch apart. Everything came out easy enough with a little bit of pulling. I saw that white plastic toothed part that...

    FWIW: Poll results about 416 SFclickies - 24.5% initial problem rate

    Re: STATISTICS about Surefire clickie switch experiences (READ instructions first!) Their failure rate with me has been 100%. I have owned two Surefire Z59 clickies and both of them have problems. One I purchased directly from an authorized dealer. The other came from Surefire as a...

    NEW SF Z59 clicky tail cap is dead!

    Well, I got my new Z59 within a week of contacting Surefire. That was world class customer service alright. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for the quality of their clicky swithces. The new one is already showing signs of a premature death. Most of the time it works. Sometimes the switch...

    NEW SF Z59 clicky tail cap is dead!

    Well, I just called Surefire, and they were very helpful. They are sending me a new Z59 with no questions asked. :) Hopefully, this one will work. Maybe they'll check it before they mail it. When it comes in, I will try to fix the old one. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    NEW SF Z59 clicky tail cap is dead!

    CAUTION, RANT: Ever since I got my DX Cree drop-in LED module (fantastic unit for the price), my Surefire 6P has been my go to flashlight. Not having a clicky was kind of a pain, so I decided to splurge and spend the $38 and get the Z59 tail cap. It took me a while to convince myself that the...

    REX ??? 2.0 ???

    My oder number is 36xx, and I still haven't received mine. When I long on to Kai's site to check my order status, it still says "collecting from suppliers." I ordered a bunch of other stuff along with the Rex, and none of it has shipped. :ohgeez: Does anyone know what's going on? You'd think...
