    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Wow. How could I not see that? I even put it under the microscope! Duh! Scott, I am so glad that you are sick today and have to spend hours at home to do the CSI works. You have no idea how relief I am now that we know the "cause". Well done and Thanks Ron

    A Little Accident. W/123's and a Peli. M6

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Well, Thanks again for all the comments. Just want to put a closure for this incidence. It was definitely an educational experience. As weird as it sound, I am kind of glad that it happened; I never thought it could happen and now I am aware of this potential...

    A Little Accident. W/123's and a Peli. M6

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Just want to confirm that Pelican has contacted me (Thanks for David) and offer to replace my PM6. They also ask if I like to try the LED version instead. Is Pleican the only one who advertises offers "you break it, we replace it, forever"? I wonder if UKE...

    A Little Accident. W/123's and a Peli. M6

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. [ QUOTE ] There are voltmeter probes, a power adapter, what looks like a coil of solder..... [/ QUOTE ] The "coil of solder" look alike probably are the springs from the inside of the PM6 or UK-2L. I don't have any bare wire or solder coil in the boxes. I agree...

    A Little Accident. W/123's and a Peli. M6

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Hi. Thanks for all the comments and suggestion. I didn't even think of corrosive when we did the cleaning. Opps. I learn later from my wife's confession that before she use the PM6, she did turned on the UK2L but it was very dim. So I was incorrect when I...

    A Little Accident. W/123's and a Peli. M6

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Here are few more photos if anyone interested. I am not sure if the cause was started from the 2L as some of you suggested. First of all, there is no such indication from the body. Secondly, I only found 4 CR123 batteries in the boxes. The two that exploded...

    Re: A Little Accident. Enjoy. Wow. Thanks for all the responses and sorry for not replying soon. I think "SilverFox" pretty much described it all. I will try to answer some of the question and added a little more detail: - I know the danger of mixing new and old batteries, I am pretty sure...

    Cheap 123's in Canada

    Re: Cheap 123\'s in Canada Other than Battery Station, I have very luck with ordering from TexasTacticalSupply as well. The last order costed me about C$2.20 each, but that was when the exchange rate was over 1.4 . With the Canadian dollar at 12 year high against US $ now, it may be a good...

    Scorpion + Strion lamp + 168s -> success

    Great info. I got to try it sometime. The only concern I have is that I have to remember to change bulb when switching between Pila and 123 batteries. BTW, Tony did post this type of mod before in here but he used the stinger's bulb.
