    Smooth vs. Orange Peel Reflectors?

    I generally prefer orange peel... Smooth reflectors make an ugly beam. HDS is the only LED I've seen that has a great beam with a smooth reflector. It's actually incredible, maybe mine just has a perfectly centered LED....

    What to do? Missing Flashlight resurfaces...

    If you kept record of the serial # of the light, this would be a done deal. Did you ask Mr. W to identify the seller of the light? If you talk to him again try and alleviate any responsibly of theft from Mr. W, go along with his story. Apologize for accusing him before. Tell him that it's not...

    Car LED/flasher/hazard lights?

    I'm in if you'll ship to Canada. I'll pay more to account for shipping, of course.

    'Tactical' brightness. An urban legend???

    In Ontario, Canada the only regulatory standards are being 18 or over and passing a qualified training program and written test. A clean record is a must, of course. Most companies will not hire you without significant experience. I got lucky because I got recommended by an acquaintance who was...

    'Tactical' brightness. An urban legend???

    I don't appreciate it when someone passes judgment on a person he knows very little, if anything, about. Especially when that involves name calling and labels AKA a personal attack. For someone who's a newbie on the forums, you sure like to make enemies fast. I never claimed that a light is a...

    'Tactical' brightness. An urban legend???

    If a person is prepared for what's coming, then the effect of the light is greatly reduced. I've done many similar experiments with my friends. Every time they were aware of the experiment they practically disabled the effects of the light, even a ROP High. BUT... When I surprised them with a...

    Check out my new rechargeable Wolf-eyes setup (pics inside)!

    You wanna tell me a 3.7V setup puts out more than 105 lumens??? That's impressive! I wonder what the current draw from the 18650 is?

    My Hotwire MiniM*g experience

    Streamlight Strion vs. Digilight NT9

    There have been a few measurements done by a number of people.... The general consensus is that the Strion puts out 70-80 lumens and the Scorpion puts out 80-90 on fresh batteries. If the NT9 only puts out 100 lumens on Li-Ions, then it doesn't seem like it's worth the money. The Strion will...

    Streamlight Strion vs. Digilight NT9

    Strion is more like 70-80 lumens out the front..... The NT9, being a 9V light would be much brighter than the Strion. A better comparison for the NT9 would be a TL-3 running on 2 17500 cells. The Strion switch leaves much to be desired, and the beam isn't the prettiest and only works well...

    What did I find here guys?

    Wanted: pouch/holster for Motorola V3 Razr

    The OEM Motorola Leather holster works pretty well.... The one that has a magnetic leather flap to cover the opening. It's very thin and stylish. It used to come with the phone, when the Razr just came out more than a year ago for $800US......... The holster should go for about $30 now.........
