    Any reason the T20C2 MKII wouldn't make a great EDC?

    I EDC the T20C2 everyday, as long as I'm wearing 5.11 tactical cargos. The rear slash pockets are perfect for that light on my left, my Spyderco Atlantic Salt on the right, and it leaves room for an iPhone in one cargo pocket, and my wallet in the other. That still leaves three more easily...

    Does the Terralux 220 really put out 220 lumens

    I sell these, and own several of my own. They're pretty honest about the lumen ratings, but they're rated at the element. However, if I compare it to my EagleTac T20C2, it's nowhere near as focused and bright. That's not a ding; the EagleTac costs significantly more. It's like comparing...

    Spare 2AA MiniMag host...what to do?

    GREENLED, can you lead me in the right direction? Is there a thread out there anywhere?

    Spare 2AA MiniMag host...what to do?

    I rescued a very clean, but gutless MiniMag from the trash bin the other day, as a fellow I know had a battery set go south and ruin his TerraLUX upgrade. The body is clean as whistle, but he drove the batteries out and ruined the bulb mount. Any good project ideas? This would actually be my...

    EagleTac T20C2 (Tactical RGB) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, and more!

    I have mine, and for about a week now, have been blinding my co-workers, not to mention throwing them into epileptic fits with the strobe. I think the only thing I can say I'm not loving is the ease of which the strobe is inadvertantly activated. I would have liked for something that required...

    Stanley H.I.D. and 1365 lumen spotlights (Part 2)

    I couldn't resist and picked one of these up while at a remote installation job in N.W. Ohio a few weeks ago (I was up from Tampa, FL). Found it at the Wal-Mart, for $69.88 plus tax, and was cutting the package open while walking to the truck. Came pretty well charged, and since it was...

    TerraLux LightStar 220 EX.

    I've been alternating between two of these now as an EDC, and after six months or so, I have nothing but good things to say about it. I did switch to 2500mAH Sony NiMH's after the first (included) set of Energizers went down, with zero problems. Regarding the finish, well, I can't seem to hurt...

    Any Suggestions on a 2xAA or 2xAAA Flash light @ around $30 CAD ?

    They don't get a lot of publicity, but I've been very happy with my TerraLUX 3C2AAEX lights, and they are within your price point. They make a less expensive version, the 3C2AA, which is also a nice light, and it sells for a few bucks less. 220 lumen rating, with a dimmer, tailcap switch...

    TerraLux TLE 5EX upgrade

    I agree with all of the above posts. I have, let's see, six AA mini-mags, and all of them are converted to the TerraLUX. Two are UV LED's, which are handy to have at night in the woods to spot things like blood and scorpions (ask me how I know). I've not tried the 'colored' versions, but...

    Airport security & traveling w/flashlights & batteries?

    I recently flew from Tampa to Kona, and since we had planned to hike to the lava flow at night, I packed two TerraLUX TLE-3C2AA-EX, the new 220 lumen models (a LOT of light for the money). They are quite 'tactical' in appearance, so I was a bit concerned. I stopped checking baggage for...

    Newbie with questions

    It's an older Mag, and does not begin with the 'D'. Perhaps that is the issue; the fellow I gave the TerraLUX LED to used it in his, and it works really well. I think his was newer. He's still grateful. I'll have a look at his tomorrow and see if that's the thing. Thanks for the tip on the...

    what bulb options are available for these maglite?

    I agree with Gunner 12 regarding the TerraLUX. The tri-LED is quite bright, and reasonably priced. It is not, however, focus-capable, if that's a concern. On the other hand, it's great for large amounts of white light. I've used one in my 4D for some time, and have sold several to Mag...

    Newbie with questions

    Hi, everyone. While I'm new to the CPF, I've got a fairly extensive collection. Multiple Stinger, Stinger HP, Ultra Stingers, a few Streamlight Survivor LED units, and quite a few Mini-Mags with TerraLUX upgrades, TerraLUX UV LED's and even a few TerraLUX-built LED flashlights, with the new...
