    *2016* ZebraLight SC63 and variants like the SC63w

    My girlfriend just gave me a SC63w. I'm very happy with it, it'll be perfect for backpacking. She was standing next to me when I first turned it on to high shining it across a darkened living room and she gasped in surprise. "I had no idea it could do that!"

    I like it, a lot. Looks like an artifact from the future. I think it'll be comfortable to hold, and as others have said it'll be easier to pocket without the knurling.

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    I'm trying to hold off on ordering from Zebralight until the SC63 is released to compare. Those beam shots of the MKIII aren't helping my will power any. Thanks for the replies to my post #1268. Looks like the XTAR VP2 is thumbs up and an extra wrap is no problem with heat buildup. Still not...

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    Good idea, parchment paper that withstands baking temperatures, and it would be a place for a return address like jmwking posted.

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    Would these batteries from Mtn Electronics fit the MKIII: http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_88&product_id=545 They are the Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650GA 3500 mAh 10A but the height is listed as 65.5 mm (diameter is 18.6mm). Would the XTAR VP2 be a good charger to...

    Where can I find bi-pin bulbs for the FiveMega D26 drop-in for the P6?

    It's been a while since I stocked up on the FiveMega drop-in and bulbs, and had forgotten what bulbs can be used. Thank you for the replies. Edit: Please let me know if there are any other bulbs I should try.

    Where can I find bi-pin bulbs for the FiveMega D26 drop-in for the P6?

    I have the D26 and am running it on 2 IMR 16340 batteries in the Surefire P6. Are bi-pin bulbs still available for this drop in?

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2 (Part 2)

    Not getting the afterglow, but I am seeing spots and stars from looking at the LED when turning the light off on low. It flashed on high for a second.

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2 (Part 2)

    +1 I got the Nite-ize stretch last week, and it works great with the MD2, especially being able to swivel the holster to aim the light forward where you are walking, so you can still use both hands. I've needed to use it that way twice this week already. Still looking for an easily removed...

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2

    Switching ring adds a whole new dimension to the Malkoff drop-in. Once I find a diffusing plastic cap that will fit over the bezel, things will be perfect. Got two thin o-rings, and the UCL lens almost fits now. Some of the red o-ring shows, but I think there is a seal. Will have to test that...

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2

    The lens was too thick. I put in some 'Fellows' diffuser plastic instead, between the front of the light and the o-ring. It protects the drop-in, but it isn't quickly removable. I am still working on the diffuser issue. Also looking for thinner front o-ring, so UCL lens will work while...

    Lost in the wilderness, which lights?

    Zebra H50, Fenix L1D with the diffuser, 4 pack of Sanyo 2700, a red Photon Freedom. Those with a Swedish Firesteel, a knife, a source of water and the ability to build a shelter from found materials (branches, rocks, grasses, leaves, etc) would be enough for a comfortable few weeks in the...

    Help, your choice for a backpacking light?

    +1 What I was going to post, after looking at the new EZAA, and already owning the H50. But you might want to wait for the first reviews to come in to make sure the bugs are worked out, and it is reliable in the field.

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2

    I got the UCL today, and it fits fine. Haven't tried it with a drop-in yet, since I traded for a M60 that's on its way. Thanks, Stillphoto.

    New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2

    I'm getting the M60 for the MD2, and when Gene called about the order, I asked in more detail about his plans for a two-level switch. He says he has an idea for one where you turn the head for the levels, and he's going see if it works the way he thinks it will, and then put them up for sale for...
