    Anybody tried a TerraLux 2AAA penlight?

    More weight toward the tailcap can be helpful if you mouth-hold a penlight a lot.

    Love for the old LED lights?

    +1 ProPoly Lux still sees duty as my main glovebox lights. That hotspot may be tiny, but it still throws oh-so-far! And my UK 4AA eLED right angles are still my main household lights--the lights you keep in the kitchen drawer. They just work every time and I can bang them around and drop them...

    Re: FS: 4C Maglite with sst-50! Beam shots added! Hi. Do any of the 5 modes include strobe? And can the focus still be adjusted? Thanks and good luck with your sale!

    When You Want Long Runtime...

    I got one of these 10mm Nite Ize drop ins a while ago and tried them in a few plastic 2D lights I had around, but was always dissatisfied with the beam. I finally remembered that I had one of those plastic Fulton 3D lights (straight, not an anglehead 2D) which apparently are fairly common as...

    What light feels perfect in your hand?

    Wolf-Eyes Night hunter

    Nice. Quite a departure from typical W-E styling, though. I dig the adjustable focus.

    Is using red light for "preserving night vision" simply a myth?

    Re: The right answer for the wrong question ? Excellent point, Mike! The OP's general question about "preserving night vision" can be taken in different ways, as you rightly point out. Which is probably why night vision threads often degenerate into arguments. People are often trying to address...

    Is using red light for "preserving night vision" simply a myth?

    Although debating the scientific method and the evolution of human understanding of the natural world may make an interesting college course, we're terribly off-topic here. :thumbsdow Why do night vision threads often bring out the worst in flashaholics? :shrug:

    Orange Propolymers

    It's interesting that most of SL's models aimed at firefighting, including the Responder, come in orange. But you don't see orange ProPoly's, even though it has a helmet bracket to attach to a firefighter's helmet.

    I remember... "the good old days" of CPF

    Remember when buying an LED light was always rather dicey with the "Luxeon lottery"? When's the last time you've heard a white LED's tint described as "pea soup green"? Or how some of us resorted to using colored LED's for certain applications (like red or cyan) because they were either more...

    TSHTF light kit

    Just another consideration. Depending on the light and what kind of driver it uses (or lack of one), you may actually get more usable runtime using alkalines than L91's. Since L91's don't sag like alkalines, they can pump out a higher amount of juice, but at the expense of overall runtime. Our...

    Cops and LED lights and color rendition

    When we were all eagerly awaiting the introduction of the Pelican 7060 LED as a revolutionary step for LE lighting tools, tint was a topic that came up. The LAPD had input on the specs for the 7060 and I recall a discussion that they specifically asked for a cooler tint since that apparently was...

    Any logic to the lights that you own?

    LOL, ok, here's my logic. Say I own N number of lights. Repeat after me, "N is none. N+1 is one". See the logic? :thinking: :sssh: Well, on a more serious note, I think most of us are hobbyists, so the kinds of lights we collect probably change as our tastes change and as our tolerance to...

    Huntlight FT-01

    Ah, those were some good lights! I was surprised when one day I realized that Lumapower had dropped the M1. It's a great design, although CPFers did seem to give Lumapower and Ricky grief that it wasn't as bright as other similar lights. Which is a pretty unfair comparison since Lumapower was...

    Do p60 drop-ins ever fail?

    Just a guess, but the incredible choices we have with P60's could eventually dry up. Personally, I think it's a fad that will eventually wane. I just don't think there's enough of a market to support ALL the different brands and models with half a dozen emitter types for much longer. It wasn't...
