    looking for a cheap single mode 2cr123a light with forward clicky

    I'm wanting to get a cheap (say about $20) single mode light that runs on 2 123s and has a forward clicky. I'd think I could find this at DX but am not having any luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Need help picking a edc light for my work bag

    This is kind of an old thread but I think I've decided on the http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5444 "Super-Bright Cree Q4 5-Mode LED Flashlight" Its not exactly what I want but maybe its as close as I can find. Anything better? Still needs to be 123 based and have at least a high...

    Need help picking a edc light for my work bag

    I'd considered it but I already keep enough 123's around for the other lights that I think it just makes the most sense to stay consistent.

    Need help picking a edc light for my work bag

    So I'm looking for a flashlight to throw in my work bag. It won't get used much so I would prefer it run on 123's so I don't need to worry about the battery age too much. I would prefer it be relatively affordable (think dealextreme, not surefire). Finally I would prefer it to have a low and...

    ar-15 weapon light

    That and compatibility with tape switches what was I was afraid of. The mount manu says " If they light body is between 0.7 and 1.1 inches in diameter and maintains a constant diameter for the length of its body, you should be OK." Thats part of what drove me to look at the knock offs from DX...

    ar-15 weapon light

    You can't be sure they're not causing mischief and chasing school children if you don't keep them at home. :laughing: If it makes you feel any better though despite being scary and black they're usually far less powerful than grandpa's wood stocked hunting rifle that everyone thinks is just fine.

    ar-15 weapon light

    I'm trying but the overwhelming number of recommendations have completely ignored my own criteria. "I'd like an affordable light to go in this mount with a tape switch." "Here's a rail mount surefire light thats $250. You don't want a tape switch" :D I'm more worried about over penetration...

    ar-15 weapon light

    Thanks, I didn't know they were sold body only. The vendor I asked for a price quote from on didn't mention that was an option. Is there a 1 cell body similar to that thats threaded the same? Carbine15, is that sarcasm I detect? :D Perhaps this is stuff that the flashlight enthusiants know...

    ar-15 weapon light

    Its a real ar15, its not going to be kicking door in for years in iraq or getting banged up in a squad car every day, just riding along for some trips to the range and sitting around for home defense just in case. That makes it hard for me to justify spending big bucks on it. If the light...

    ar-15 weapon light

    I've gotten pretty used to the tape switch on the surefire foreend on my 870, I'm kind of going for a similar setup here just hopefully without paying the surefire premium this time. :D No rails here btw. In case any one was wandering, the reason I'm considering the 1 cell light is that my...

    ar-15 weapon light

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some suggestions on a led cr123 light for mounting on an ar-15. I guess I'm open to 1 or 2 cells, 1 might even be best. It will be going into the alzetta mount and have a tape switch connected to it. I thought about surefire g2 and a cree drop in but that seems like it...

    Under car work light?

    I've been spending some time under the car lately doing a little work and I can't help but think its a great place for a led light. I'm picturing something like a flat panel with multiple led's in it, maybe an adjustable prop in the back so it can either lay flat or be aimed at an angle at...

    Thanks guys, I'll send them on. Does anyone put any of the better led's like the crees into stuff like this?

    12v boat lights?

    My friend is wanting to wire up his sail boat with some 12v lights. This sounds like the perfect place for some of the newer more efficient led's. Does anyone put these into a waterproof assembly? If not is there anything I should point him to that will perform well? Thanks!
