    Will the real Olight please stand-up!

    I honestly don't know - but be sure that it will be posted to dealers and mfrs forums the second we know. :)

    Will the real Olight please stand-up!

    All 3 are legit - it's a bit complex but here's the simplified version. Olightworld is the factory in China. Distribution rights in the USA have changed hands several times which is why you find these 2 companies; both of whom have held exclusive US distribution rights with Olight. Currently...

    RIP Polklifer - Craig Georgi - CPF member, Gentleman & Friend

    It is with great sadness that I report that last night I received an email from Craig's wife informing me that Craig passed away on Oct. 22, 2011 from complications from liver cancer. Craig was not a particularly prolific poster but anyone who has attended one of our CPF/Flashlight industry...

    Alternative to 12v alkaline

    An A23 is made of 7-8 LR932 cells - there is no exact lithium equivalent. If you were REALLY motivated to convert it to lithium power you could try 4 x CR927's and perhaps a small spacer to make up the extra space. Or you could just buy a GTL Glo Toob which is made to use a CR123A.

    Where can I get a 4 AA holder like this pic?

    There's only a handful of companies making this type of item and I couldn't find a 4-series stick like that in any of their catalogs. You'll probably want to use 2 of the units that you pictured above for the prototyping stage. If you were really motivated you might be able to modify them...

    Dented primary CR123A

    Better safe than sorry. Dispose of battery properly. Do not use.

    Nextorch MyTorch 18650 review - A Layman's Perspective

    Yah, I've only actually ever used it on my Windows 7 machine - no problems.

    Nextorch MyTorch 18650 review - A Layman's Perspective

    Major changes to computer OS's are pretty far apart and they invariably are backwards compatible so I don't really see how that could be a problem.

    Thoughts on the (? new) olight m3x triton? (xm-l)

    I think you mean, "I have Catapult XM-L, Triton M30 and the M3X, XM-L -version, both XM-L's beat M30 in brightness." ?? Right?

    SHOT Show 2011 Discussion Thread

    Basically it looks like we just email an invitation with a link to a special landing page on the SHOT website but you still need to register. I am not sure how that affects entry criteria and we're waiting for a callback on that question.
