    need a replacement for Olight S2

    yes but I dont like the rechargeable end cap, and they changed the knurling to a terrible texture and worst of all, they changed the clip to a double ender that I can not stand. I could live with the other two negatives if it wasn't for that clip. also its more $ than the discontinued non...

    Reliable flashlight brands

    My experience with nitecore does not mirror you all's. I have had 2X EC30 both fail within months, and a coworker has also had 2 fail in the same time period. I will never buy another. I have had much better luck with ( old ) 4 sevens and Olight. streamlight as well.

    need a replacement for Olight S2

    I've had a couple of the OG Olight S2 baton lights. compact 18650 light, TIR optic, magnetic tail cap and tip up pocket clip for head lamp use on my hat brim. It was the perfect light for my work on elevators. I would buy more if they still existed but alas its discontinued. I tried the nitecore...

    Vampire to DF Body Adapter

    it could work, but I don't "think" it would be ideal. what is the voltage range of the 1 and 2 cell vampire heads? pretty sure the 4.2VDC of a fresh LI-ion wouldn't work with the 3v head and the 6v head might not work well at the 2V li-ion low end voltage. that said I do run my 2cell vampire...

    need help building a IR weapon light.

    I have a surefire M961, I would like to keep the tail cap (for remote switch capabilities) and the body ( for the rail mount) but the Incan head and battery extender are a bit dated. I am not super familiar with Lego'ing the M series lights. what are the options for IR preferably 940nm+ that...

    Olight "warrior series" M1R - Shot show 2017

    Might be my 2nd O-light. pretty happy with my S2 baton for work, although I wish the side switch was larger for use with work gloves on. its impossible to feel it with material handling ( fairly thin work glove) on.

    Sanyo NCR18650GA 3.6V (3500mAh, max. 10A)

    Any updates on these batts? I'm looking for 20-60 of the ncr18650ga cells for an Rc project. I've heard of people finding them for around $4 each but I can only find much higher prices.

    looking for a nice triple P60 drop in.

    what if I use my 9P with two 17500's? I actually have two AW17500's or would boring it out to take two IMR 18500's be a better option? I am aware of the overready/torchlab triples, does anyone else make them that might have something in stock? Thanks for the info guys.

    Book reading at night outside - Light to suit

    I think you may be over thinking this. I know its hard for flash-o-holics to just be happy with plain old regular grade stuff but for what you want I would think a light cheap easily replaceable not to bright night time light, a home depot or walmart $10 AAA head lamp with a 5mm red LED would be...

    Thrower Similar to Quark Turbo X 123^2

    This man is wise! :) My buddy has Turbo X and even with the larger head I still think my AA2 turbo has a brighter (smaller) hotspot. I haven't tried them side by side as far as long distance but just in the wall test any of the turbo's should be good to go.
