    Smallest AA Flaslight

    A few months ago I was also looking for the smallest AA light and I got myself a "DQG AA". However I don't use it on my keychain because I still think it is too big. Here it is next to an itp a1 ss:

    Dead Solarforce XM-L 2.8A mod w/ pics - WHOA!!!

    I just finished my first mod! It's not much brighter than the stock Solarforce XM-L dropin, but then I have only tried it using a battery at 3.6V. Here are some images: before: after:

    First flashlight help! Budget XML

    I read somewhere that KD are selling fake solarforces. If you want to buy from hong kong there are other sources with better reputation. I got my L2P from a place called solarforce-sales.

    Electrical paths in a flashlight

    I uploaded to another image host, it seems to work now. Would it be possible to cut the black wire to the led and still make it work if the bottom of the led circuit board is connected to the flashlight body?

    Electrical paths in a flashlight

    I'm about to do my very first flashlight mod (drop in driver swap) but I would like to confirm my basic understanding of the electrical paths in a flashlight before doing so. Does the following picture look alright to you? Question: why are there two connections to the led from the driver...

    AA flashlight with Flood to throw

    I bought the upgraded Romisen RC-29 from shiningbeam for my father and he is very happy with it. Two days ago I decided to buy one for myself but then I found a new interesting model on manafont that has a much better design (no fins) and a price under $10. Google for "Romisen RC-C6 1 Mode"...

    Dead Solarforce XM-L 2.8A mod w/ pics - WHOA!!!

    thats the one I got but it's probably not putting out even half of the 820 lumens :) Maybe this mod would be closer to that value?

    Dead Solarforce XM-L 2.8A mod w/ pics - WHOA!!!

    Amazing! This is the exact mod I would like to do :) I got a Solarforce L2P + one mode XM-L dropin two weeks ago but wasn't impressed by the brightness and the absence of different modes, so I ordered the same driver as you from KD a couple of days ago. Do you think the heat generated would...

    First mod with 2800mA driver

    Hello everyone! Two weeks ago I received a Solarforce L2P with a single mode XML-dropin. It's very bright but I would prefer a dropin with a few different modes and maybe a little more power (I measure [email protected] and [email protected] using gray unprotected trustfire batteries with a cheap...

    Ultrafire C1 XML P60 - xml on a budget - pic HEAVY!!!

    i just made an order for that driver on KD, hoping to upgrade a solarforce XML dropin. I have never done any driver swapping before so I feel a little nervous :P does the driver come with any instructions?

    An idea for new flashlight UI

    I think the best idea would be to use RFID technology for this. It would be wireless and probably very simple and cheap to implement in existing micro processor drivers even today :naughty: Imagine hovering your flashlight over a RFID-pad and have it reprogrammed in a split second :thumbsup:

    AKOray K-106 - awesome AA/14500 3-mode bargain - MINI REVIEW!

    I've been carrying my k-109 since I got it in june but I just hit the jackpot when I reprogrammed it! The low level is now really low, even compared to a fenix e01 and an itp a3 upgrade :grin2: Beamshots (alkaline on itp/fenix and rcr123 on the akoray): I wonder what the runtime would be :D...
