    Root of Evil Bears Bitter Fruit

    Last Wednesday, Circuit City 'rewarded' their long term, loyal, and productive employees who had thus earned raises by laying them off without warning and replacing them with low paid new hires. The good news is that, after a 10 week layoff, they can apply to get their old jobs back at those...

    SOS/Strobe Poll Yes, No?

    I agree that SOS would be very useful in a situation where you are in trouble and have no other means of attracting attention. It makes it clear that there is something more going on than just someone messing around with a light, or flashes from auto headlights if seen from a plane. I'd guess...

    Titanium PowPower Recharger Question

    Well, Thank You again. Everything seems to be working fine now. All the green LED's came on. The last four D cells to come off the charger read between 1.38 and 1.4 volts after a four hour rest. I'm charging some AA's now. Your advice was greatly appreciated. <S>

    Titanium PowPower Recharger Question

    Thanks for the information. I have a non contact thermometer and about 4 hours into the charge cycle all the batteries are reading about 88 F. I'll keep an eye on them. Sounds like the microprocessor isn't quite as bright as I might have hoped for. :ironic: <S>

    Titanium PowPower Recharger Question

    Hi, Haven't tried the AA's yet. When the current batch of D's gets the <single> green light, I'll hunt up my multimeter and see about the voltage as well as put some AA's in to see what happens. The last batch went into my ElectroLumen's Stunner and seem to be doing well. <S>

    So what kind of throw does the PID CE have?

    I just received mine yesterday. Playing with it and comparing it with my P1, it will easily throw over 50 yards across my pond. Probably further. By throw, I mean not just be able to see a faint spot, but light up the follage enough to count leaves. It's significantly brighter than the P1...

    P1D CE Available

    Brightguy.com has these. I ordered mine three days ago, got it yesterday. I believe they only have the Black. <S>

    Titanium PowPower Recharger Question

    Hi, I just bought the above charger with 8 D cells to use in my new ElectroLumens flashlights. When I insert the cells to charge what happens is that all the red LED's come on when it's charging, but only the far left (Channel 4) green led comes on no matter how long I wait. The other three...

    Maximum potable throw instant start up.

    Hi, I'd suggest that you check out the 'Stunner' on the Electrolumens site. He has a forum here in the manufacturer's area. I've got one, it is a 4D light that balances well and is set up with 8 K2's putting out a total of about 1,000 lumens. I've had mine for a couple of days and it's quite...

    CPF 2006 Light?

    Last year Peak did the Rainier up as the CPF2005 prior to its formal introduction. I got one and it's still one of my favorite lights. At the time, it was a good example of the state of the art in compact flashlights, and still, a year later, is holding up well. Is Peak going to do something...

    sci-fi movie production needs help

    You might consider contacting Peak LED Solutions . They're also here in the Manufacturers Forum. They did a CPF Special last year that was extremely bright for the size. I have several of their lights and the quality is excellent. I also understand that they've got a custom shop. Having a...

    Trying to decide Peak mckinley Hi vs Ultra

    Hi, I have both in the new style. You can only tell the difference in brightness and throw side by side. The 'Hi' is very bright and does an excellent job of flooding a room, for example. The longer run time is a plus also.

    THE 1w AAA PACIFIC

    My guess for 'X' would be an L1 Fenix. Being just as good as another aaa light would be good, but hardly 'cat that ate the canary grin' good. Being up there with an AA light that's been getting a lot of good press around CPF would, IMHO be cause for a big smile. My 2 ¢

    THE 1w AAA PACIFIC

    By the Way... are they going to be available in that cool red anodize to match the CPF Special? The two together would make for a nice set.

    THE 1w AAA PACIFIC

    Wow!!!! Indeed. If I'm looking at the chart right, it looks like it'll be as bright as the McKinley Ultra, and with a lithium, run for much longer. You Bet :sold:
