    Neutral tinted LED lightbar/cube

    Well, I ordered a couple of Nilight pods(6 LEDS each) with the intent to replace the emitters for 4000k, First need to see what the driver is putting out. If it works well, I'll tackle a light bar.

    Neutral tinted LED lightbar/cube

    Fast forward 4.5 years. I saw there is an Australian company making a 4000k light bar, https://ultra-vision.com.au/, but they are asking $1,497au for it. I know that the truck bros want the brightest, most blinding, blue/white garbage available, but I'm looking to put this on a UTV to use...

    what LiFePO4 configuration are used in these jump start power banks?

    Re: 13.4 volts off the charger so what is the consensus on these for use in just jump starting, forget the ancillary function of charging phones and other stuff. Does the battery chemestry really matter just for jump starting, or should I just get the cheapest thing available?

    Orbtronics out of stock

    I was looking at Orbtronics sight and all of the Orbtronics brand cells that I was interested in were OOS. Did I just catch them at a low stock point or are there more nefarious forces at work?

    Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely

    When I read a review and see that the summary is that the cells are not good/recommended. Is there a risk that the cells will damage the light, or just that they will not work as advertised? I received some Ultrafire BRC18650s with a WF-502B I got on amazon. I understand that the batteries...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    just ordered a Nitecore P12 and i4 charger, $65 shipped. First light purchase since a Fenix TK41-U2 Christmas 2012.

    Nitecore P12 (XM-L2; 950 Lumens)

    Anyone else been able to use flat top 18650's with this? I was thinking about getting some Fenix ARB-L2S.

    Lighting for a gun safe

    I ran 3 XR-E P4 LEDs in parallel, one on each side midway up and one on top, off a 5v 850ma phone charger. I also bought a reed switch to turn it on/off when the door opens, but I never got around to installing it. I just leave the LEDs on all the time. Figure any heat will help with moisture.

    Jog Stroller parallel drivers

    I see what you mean. I suppose I'll just use a buckpuck instead of the 3256. Thanks for pointing out the flaw.

    Jog Stroller parallel drivers

    Here's my wire diagram I'm proposing for my jog strolled. The power source is a Ridgid Tools 18V lithium ion battery pack. The LEDs are XR-E R2 DX 15943 in the front 2s2p and CREE red DX 1776. The 350ma driver is a micropuck. The 925ma drivers are DX 3256. The idea is to have a master...

    Are portable EDC flashlights a good investment?

    Think about it this way. The cutting edge flashlight built by a smaller shop (Olight, Fenix, Streamlight) today will be dim in comparison to lights sold in walmart in 15 years. My LD10/LD20 I started with back in february 2009 pales in comparison to the latest 2AA minimag. That being said...

    Which Light is Gifted Away vs. Kept

    gave my neighbor 2 x minimag LED 2AA. We were talking about the new neighbors and how their kid drives like idiot. The neighbors take their dogs for a walk when they get home, which generally puts them walking at dusk/dark, and their old 2d plastic lights were absurdly dim. I saw the 2 pack...

    Fenix PD32 UE Video review and comparisons

    Why did they use a T6 instead of a U2? Doesn't seem to make any sense, when they released the U2 TK41 so close the PD32UE...

    Explain mAh, volts, load, and runtime please!

    Using generalizations to guestimate runtime, rather than getting exact. The VF comes from the spec sheet. The driver, 3256, is reported to be ~75%-92% efficient depending on input/load voltage. I plan to run two drivers in series to achieve the required voltage range for both, i need a second...
