    Not a real brand?!

    My TK11 came with a holster but it's wearing out at the bottom in a way that I can't sew it up. It's also really tight, to get the light in and out is hard. I'll probably repair it and remove a few stitches at the top opening so it's easier to use. Gaffers tape may work for the hole at the...

    Not a real brand?!

    I was at the police supply store looking for a holster for my TK11 and when I handed it to the shop keeper he said, this is an oddball light and no belt holster or pouch would fit it because it's not a real brand. He tried a few and found one, but I didn't want to spend that much. So I ended...

    Black Diamond Soliras Mod

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm definitely going to look for some of the 5mm LEDs in a higher ranking because I find myself using the Soliras less now that I have a $10 Garrity 1W LED headlamp that is brighter and a Remington 3W LED headlamp that's way brighter. I'll also test the voltage at...

    Black Diamond Soliras Mod

    I have an old Soliras that I got back when I was installing for Dish Network and had to work past dark. It's served me well and I like that it's always charged, but compared to my LED lights its dim. I'd like to replace the bulb with some kind of LED or brighter bulb. I'd like to retain my...

    KD Li-Ion protected 32650/32600 and cc/cv charger

    Thanks for the reply! Both chargers work with the good battery, one does have a finicky connector, but that's not what is causing this issue. One of the batteries, I believe, is malfunctioning.

    KD Li-Ion protected 32650/32600 and cc/cv charger

    I can never get links to KD to work so this is the item name... Protected D Li-ion (32650/32600)(2 cells) and Professional Charger Kit. I bought this back in december and just got them, but when I ordered it it was one battery and one charger for ~$30. Anyway one battery charges and the othe...

    Is there a charger that charges EVERYTHING?

    I'm on a budget, is there anything wrong with buying a surge protection strip and plugging all my chargers into that and mounting them on something? Definitely cheaper and probably more effective for simple use. Plus I could charge my AAs and 18650s at the same time.

    What LED and Regulator?

    Project Complete, pictures coming soon I went with the shark buck and finally got the darn D Li Ion cells from KD after 3 months. The build is complete. Works great on either the above mentioned cells or AA batteries in a 6xaa series modamag gizmo from sandwich shoppe 8xaa in series wouldn't...

    First post and a Maglite Solitaire mod

    Re: First post and a Maglite mod Nice work, I did the same mod without the post, but I will change from my current setup if I can find what you used.

    How to Fit Protected LiIon in 2D Mag

    I cut the bottom coils off and ground off the anodizing inside the tail cap and it fits great. I just finished me build today after 3 months of waiting for KD to ship those 32650 D(ish) cells

    AW RCR123A in an Inova X03 (5.8W)

    asdalton, are they 3V LiFePO4 or 3.7V with a regulator board on them that makes them into 3-3.2V? How is the run time with them if they are LiFePO4?

    AW RCR123A in an Inova X03 (5.8W)

    I don't have any 17670 batteries to test that theory on the new X03. Also, that's only 3.7-4.2V not 6. Will that work?

    AW RCR123A in an Inova X03 (5.8W)

    I am also interested in the response since I also own the new X03 5.8W and know that 18650s won't fit in it. So I'm looking for a rechargeable option. Edited to add... I just measured mine and it's a little less than 17mm wide, so 17670s are out too. I think 16340 is the designation for...

    Shark Buck

    Would a 20k pot be more or less practical than a switch? It seems like it would be even simpler than a switch. Would I just replace the trim pot with a full size potentiometer?

    Shark Buck

    Would that use an external input resistor? Where would I put the rotary switch on a Maglite? I mean, I can see the simplicity of the design on paper, but physically I'm not sure there is room.
