    1kW Xenon Arc Tank Light

    Also keep searching ebay. There are a couple of drawbacks to that supply. First the inrush current to the light invariably trips trips the output breaker, and second is that it's a backbreaker to move around....really heavy. There was another member here who found some sort of really...

    The SureFire LX1 Thread

    Re: The LX1 Thread Good point about tearing up clothing...hadn't thought of that, so I suppose there is at least one positive. As far as the new LX1 goes, I am looking forward to it. Been very impressed with the LX2. Throw is amazing, and with a diffuser it gives me the wall of light that I...

    The SureFire LX1 Thread

    Re: The LX1 Thread I don't understand the departure from knurling. Is it aesthetics over function, or are they cheaper to manufacture? Love the output and runtime of some of the newer models (LX2 for instance), but my older Surefire LEDs were more grippy. The smoother lights look nice but...

    Surefire LX2 (Part 2)

    Got my LX2 a couple of weeks ago and like it a whole lot. The output really rocks, and though I've never like TIR optics for their low-spill tunnelvision effect, this one seems like a decent compromise between throw and spill. I do miss the grippy knurling of the older design however which...

    Got my E2D LED Defender today... CRAP! Its' single level!

    I wish this was true and that I could get to the high level every time I pushed the button as I could with the older 2 stage tailcaps. The weird delay in the circuit prevents this however. Definitely not ideal for any "tactical" kind of thing when you might need to quickly turn the light on...

    Neat Gravity Powered LED Floor Lamp

    Re: Gravity powered LED light Exactly. It is the potential energy that you put into the system by lifting the weight that powers it.

    SureFire E1B Backup part 2

    Aaagghh...the interface is driving me crazy! The idea that I might or might not get full power when I turn on the light is frustrating. I'll have the light on for a bit, turn it off, and then find I need it again quickly for some reason. When I turn it on the second time there is no way to...

    SureFire E1B Backup part 2

    I just received my E1B and the beam is almost identical to my L1 in terms of spill, shape and throw. The E1B edges out the L1 by a tiny tiny fraction in terms of brightness. I still wish these optics had a bit more diffusion so that the spill & spot were a little more balanced. One thing I...
