    Repowering Maxabeam with LiFePO...need recommendations

    Here's a picture of my lamp with the new battery pack. I have a 2.1mm barrel connector installed for a charge port. The switch on the side was for latching the high mode 'on' via mimicking a right press on the 4 way switch. It did work when I had Lipo batteries and a 12V regulator, apparently...

    Repowering Maxabeam with LiFePO...need recommendations

    My Maxabeam is a 2004-ish G2. While running straight off 4S lipo (too high voltage), it would work, but only on high mode. So I got a regulator for it, I'm sure it is happier now, and everything works that way. Anyway, it looks like this is what I will be getting for my lamp...

    Repowering Maxabeam with LiFePO...need recommendations

    I currently have my Maxabeam with a 4S Lipo pack and a voltage regulator to knock that down to 12V. I want to convert to a safer LiFePO battery setup, but knowing how sketchy Lipo brands can be...any recommendations on what are good brands for the iron type battery chemistry? I'll be custom...

    Fenix vs Nitecore .... which is the better quality?

    I have only a Fenix, and a 'budget' version at that (E40), but quality-wise I couldn't be happier. Nice LED in it, perfect beam, and nothing went wrong with it in the couple years I've had it. It even survived a leaky AA battery

    What I've Learned in 6 Months Since Becoming a Flashoholic

    Now that would be neat...just watch the light output and flash patterns becoming too disorienting at night, lol. But lots of fun for sure. (Google bait coming up...) I have a Goblin 500 with DJI Naza-H sporting 2 Axixtech ST6's in white, MS6 in Red/White, and 2 Whelen Vertex for extra seizure...

    Sorta German name, check. Mega lighting distance quoted, check. Picture of some guy lighting up the side of a mountain...I'm sold! Is this the new Radio Shack?

    What was the light that got you hooked as a hobbyist? Still have it?

    An interesting new hobby of sorts for sure. My concept of a 'nice' flashlight for some time was a 80-90's version of Maglite, lol. I had some sort of Home Depot big lantern type flashlight with 4 D batteries and I needed a smaller more functional light. After some reading at these forums, I...
