    Best drop in module for solarforce l2?

    I am partial to the Malkoff M61 219 modules available in various output levels. The color rendition is wonderful, the beam shape and quality is supremely useful for many purposes, and it is bulletproof.

    Any lights that can do 2xAA & 2xCR123?

    Generally speaking, you will need 3xAA NiMH batteries to get near the power of one rechargeable 18650. AA alkalines are not able to deliver the current that the Lithium and NiMH cells do. So it's very unlikely that anyone is going to accept multiple battery chemistries in one light without a...

    Light for tac shotgun - 600 lumen flood or greater

    Yes, outdoors can eat up all the lumens you can throw at it.

    Light for tac shotgun - 600 lumen flood or greater

    600 lumens on a weaponlight for short range usage is possibly overkill... too easy to blind yourself with backscatter from nearby wall and other objects.

    Searching For a Light (High CRI, Thrower)

    Have you tried an M60W or M30W? I have a pair of M30W that are driven by 2 or 3 eneloops. The color rendering is pretty darn good, and the throw is certainly better than M61 series with XPG emitters when both are running in regulation. You would need to find someone willing to sell you an...

    BlackDiamond Storm vs Zebralight H51 series

    If you have perfect color vision, then you might prefer the "c" high-CRI version. Otherwise choose the 'w" warm version which can go a bit brighter with nearly the same tint and color rendering. I have nearly perfect color vision, so I chose the h51fc high-CRI, and I have been quite happy with...

    Post your Photos - Part 2

    Nice shots! You should try a red filter to make the sky darker.

    Incredible Sunset at Folly Beach before Hurricane Irene

    I'll butt in to say that the mountain sunset photo is obviously an HDR montage. But it is very well done.

    What Do You Drive?

    Your license plate is blocking one of your headlights. I bet that you normally don't have it on the front at all. That's a nice off-road rig!

    How about a decent grill light?

    Just remember that excessive heat kills semiconductors and batteries. An LED grill light would survive as long as you keep it clear of the cooking heat. Perhaps a goose-neck with a solarforce body and a M61 Nichia 219 emitter... mmm now I am thinking about doing that on my own grill. Could...

    How about a decent grill light?

    Get a warm white or high-CRI headlight. That way you have both hands free for cooking, and good color rendition wherever you are looking. I own (and like) a Zebralight H51cf which has come in handy for late evening grilling and smoking, and runs great on AA Eneloops. External color isn't...

    What Do You Drive?

    Last Saturday I traded in my 2008 BMW 750i and leased a 2012 Nissan Leaf. It's a great car - so far I am not missing the BMW, and that's saying something - I really liked that car. Now I have a use for the extra 10 kWh per day that my new solar panels are generating beyond my household...

    Malkoff Strikes Again

    Thanks... I have a Malkoff P7 drop-in on a 2D MagLite, and it would be nice to have extended runtime over the 2x18650 that are in it now.
