    LightHound keychain 5mm light review

    I've been giving similar lights out to clients for a while. My phone, website and name are printed on them. Am I allowed to post a picture (has my info on it)?

    New Solar powered l.e.d. flashlight at Costco

    I bought a set of these at Costco today, in Altamonte Springs, Florida. I also had my Costco eyeglasses adjusted, but I can't locate the back up batteries. Where the heck are the CR2032's?

    KD 1AAA SCC U-bin SX0H Buckle Flashlight

    I now own ten of these lights, the latest being 6 of the version 3. Nice and bright, with crappy threads resulting in loose, wobbly tail caps. How freakin' difficult (or expensive) could it be to make them right? $15.01 a pop may be a bargain compared to similar designs, but I'd pay an extra...

    TerraLUX MiniStar2 EXTREME SSC P4 U-bin LED upgrade for AA MiniMag Maglites TLE-5EX

    I also find the newer Cree version to be dimmer, with less flood. I don't know if the run time differs. The SSC mini update was one of my favorite lights to give as a gift because of the cool "mod" factor, the nice smooth white flood, and higher appearance of quality than most of the lights...

    Reviews of TLE-6EXB (2-3 C/D Maglite Drop in)

    I own the TLE-6EX and the B version, as well as two of the Malkoffs (early and later version). They are all good for the price. I would bet my life on the Malkoffs, and bet my friends' lives on the Terralux' The friends get theirs from me as gifts for $25.00 and I get mine for three times...

    Did someone say 200 lumens???

    I bought this one so that I'd have a one hand operated CR123 multi-level bright key chain light. It's a little big for that intended purpose, but the main flaw is that you need two hands to operate it. This is the slickest, most slipperly Ultrafire I own. No traction as all. The switch is...

    LiteFlux LF2 questions, feedback & suggestions

    How about a click sound or detent to let you know where you're at? This is too much for me. I'm giving it to a client as a gift. He works for NASA so he'll love the flow chart. I recently purchased a Peak Baltic S4 for my son. It's a little bigger but a lot easier to use.

    Malkoff SSC P4 vs TerraLux SSC P4

    I have Gene's latest Malkoff drop-in with massive copper heat sink in a 3D Mag. It's kept by my bed for two purposes: power failures and intruder protection. The next time you think a Fenix or some other mini light is a better form factor than a Mag 3-D, try hitting yourself over the head...

    Reviews of TLE-6EXB (2-3 C/D Maglite Drop in)

    I have three of those new minimag drop ins and they work perfectly. Not as bright as some of my Chinese lights, but I like the form factor and they do get oohs and ahhs from non-flashaholics.

    Reviews of TLE-6EXB (2-3 C/D Maglite Drop in)

    OK, ran the 3D for 60 minutes. Uneventful, maybe dimmed slightly, but I'm no scientist like some of you guys, so no measurements. It started right up again after I ended the run. The head was left hanging over a table, meaning there was air cooling only. The head itself wasn't even warm. I...

    Reviews of TLE-6EXB (2-3 C/D Maglite Drop in)

    I've got two, both in 3D bodies. No problems, running fine. I also have the earlier TLE-6EX running in a 2D, but powered by two 3A to D, resulting in 9 volts. That's a little brighter. Finally, I have one of the original high output 2D Malkoff's, which appears brighter and whiter than the...

    P1 knockoff, with CREE

    Mine arrived yesterday, along with the Rexlite 2.0. Brighter than the Rexlite, small enough for a keychain, and $15.00!! What's not to like? The body is just slightly longer than a P1. Pictures to follow. Running mine on a primary CR123. Any testing done with that battery?
