    Is PK now working for Jetbeam?

    Jetbeam has a history of ignoring intellectual property: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/niteye-zip-20.341897

    Surge 2000 Lumens was a loser for me

    Was curious about the adjustable beam - not being familiar with the light. I checked it out at TSC's product website and read nothing to suggest you could adjust the beam by unscrewing the head. Says 3 modes - which are likely adjusted by double-clicking the tailcap. Sounds like maybe you...

    Help with UV flashlight

    I'm going to Porcupine Mountain state park later this year for a backpacking trip and just acquired a Lumintop Tool AA with Luminus SST-10 365nm LED. My goal is to search for Yooperlites while backpacking the Superior Trail. it came with a GITD cap and a Lumintop AA Li-ion. 2 modes, I'm...

    Lanterns

    Maybe REI was mistaken? Nothing on UCO's website or on any social media. That item is their bread-and-butter, "since 1970" so I can't see them folding it up. You can get a 20-pack of their citronella candles for $30 at that Brazilian river online shopping site. Everything candle-related at...

    Help me understand Malkoff

    Re: Help me understanx malkoff What I like is that the single mode Malkoffs have less to fail then a multimode light. Throw in a 6P twisty switch and there just isn't much that can go wrong. I have an original 4sevens titanium that regularly skips modes until I twist the tailcap to reset the...

    Why no love for Niteye?

    Just to set the stage straight, Niteye = Jetbeam. Jetbeam was part of Sysmax (along with Nitecore) and Sysmax was releasing Jetbeam-branded lights which were not too different from Nitecore. Well, the former Jetbeam designers started selling Niteye until they got their ownership back of...

    No more nitecore for me.

    Actually ForrestChump, Sysmax is probably are correct in what they are saying. At one time Jetbeam and Nitecore were both Sysmax companies (both were separate flashlight companies previous to their merger). Then Jetbeam started claiming intellectual theft and created Niteye - there were public...

    No more nitecore for me.

    I'm discussing how it might not be easy to say "I see more failures from brand X" when a lot of people here might only use their brand X flashlight until the next new light comes along.

    No more nitecore for me.

    Another consideration - how many flashaholics buy a flashlight, use it for a few days/weeks/months and then replace it with another? Is this site a good representation when there are people here who have more flashlights then there are hours in the night? Sure the shelf-queen Nitecore worked...

    No more nitecore for me.

    Check out Vinh and Oveready. You pay more than an inexpensive consumer light but you get what you pay for.

    Does MAH = brighter or longer lasting

    Your flashlight's driver limits and controls how bright a LED will get. Too much voltage and :poof: For example a light that supports 6 volts and can do 2 x CR123s or 1 x 18650. Put in 2 RCR123s (for a max voltage of 7.2 volts) and you'll need a new light. Some super-high output lights (like...
