    NITECORE Power – The D4 and D2 Digi chargers and NITECORE's li-ion cells

    Thanks for the review! I'm considering buying the D2 so I can get rid of my gazillion different chargers, and was wondering if the above quotation means it can charge these 3v Li-Ion batteries. I'm guessing they use some kind of circuit to force a regular 3.7v cell down to 3v, since Tenergy...

    Looking for a Diffuser for a Fenix LD41 = 40 mm any ideas?

    Do you need something that's quickly removable or changeable? If you don't, you can apply things directly to the lens to act as a diffuser. I've read that some people use scotch tape, and I've had good experiences with Shaotech Glow-in-the-dark diffuser film. If you want something less...

    Question on 3.0V RCR123As and WF-188 charger

    Ok thanks for the help. It seemed a little sketchy anyways but I was hoping I could still get some use out of the battery without buying the charger.

    Question on 3.0V RCR123As and WF-188 charger

    I recently ordered a Tenergy 30201 RCR123A, but didn't realize that it's a 3.0V rechargeable as opposed to a 3.7V. Oh well, I still have uses for it. However, Tenergy says it should only be used with their own special charger because of the different voltage. I can believe this, but am wondering...

    Armytek Predator flickering with new 18650s

    It was set to the CR123A mode when malfunctioning with the 18650's, all of which were above 4v when malfunctioning. In 18650 Li-ion mode there is no problem. I also never thought too much about the battery mode; I hadn't changed it since I got the light because I had always used it with CR123A...

    malfunctioning solarforce.

    I don't think there would be too much of a problem with current and the switch; Solarforce rates most of their switches for 3A, which is what I think most XM-L dropins will draw. I'd guess the battery is the source of your problems.

    <<< ArmyTek Predator - Quick User & Setup Menu Guide >>>

    I know I'm bumping this fairly old thread but thanks so much for making these. I needed to enter the dreaded menus and had misplaced my manual (if there ever was one, I can't remember...). The Armytek website is also down right now so these helped me a lot. They're also a lot easier to use than...

    Armytek Predator flickering with new 18650s

    Problem solved: I had forgotten that the Predator has a battery selection option in the setup menu. After navigating through the menu with the help of this excellent guide by petrev, I selected the 18650 setting and all of my problems went away.

    Armytek Predator flickering with new 18650s

    Hi everyone, Last night I received a pair of Orbtronic 3100mAh 18650's from Amazon. They charged with no issues up to 4.19v and I put one in my Armytek Predator v1 that had previously been running off of 2 CR123A's. However, when I turned it on low mode (Default 7 lumen pre-programmed setting)...

    Fenix PD32

    I don't have any experience with the PD32, but I own a PD31 (To my knowledge nearly the same light but without the side button) and like it a lot. My only real gripe with it is the messy beam pattern, but it doesn't bother me too much. The 4Sevens Quark series is pretty similar to the Fenix PD...

    any gamers ?

    I like Battlefield a lot. I play Battlefield Bad Company 2 on PC often and will get Battlefield 3 tomorrow when it comes out. I used to play a lot of COD on XBox but got tired of it; I realized that although it felt good when I did well I would get frustrated a lot. I still play a lot of Halo...

    What light would you purchase if they would only change (blank)?

    There's a lot I would get if the modes were different. May be trivial to some, but I care about it a lot. It needs to have a pretty low low, which has stopped me from buying several Lumapower offerings. Also, I want Low-Med-High mode order which has stopped me from getting the Xeno EO3 so far...

    Worst Brand/Model Name For Flashlight?

    Re: Worse Brand/Model Name For Flashlight? I would buy a light from Emotionally-Abused-by-a-Mouse-DogFire in a heartbeat Also I know Pluto is still an object out there and what I meant by "not a planet" was that it wasn't in our solar system, which seemed to be the category.
