    Fenix TK45 in Prometheus

    i haven't posted here in awhile and i'm a huge fan of the Alien trilogy (the fourth one will never count). its kinda sad that i'm just now seeing Prometheus but its playing as we speak. right now Charlize Theron is doing pushups half naked...looks like they must keep that ship pretty cold...

    Tint for forest work revisited

    this year was horrible for morels where i'm at. i had milkyspit custom build a U2 for me last year w/ four 4500K XP-G's and approx +20° of output and i didn't get to put it to good use this year. personally i do like the warmer tint better for morel hunting but i suppose it doesn't really...

    RECOIL THROWER

    +1 for the Dereelight DBS w/ XR-E & SMO or aspheric head. both will give you great throw. Tiablo A9 or A10 is another one that produces great results and also has an aspheric head option. not sure where to find them at this point though.

    Non-Tunnel_Vision thrower!

    the best balanced throw i've found have consistently been w/ Surefire's TIR's. i would consider the LX2 my borderline dream light however I still dumped another $90 on the FM54 diffuser to make it a little more practical. i've had the M3LT for over a year and just received a UB3T last week and...

    What was the ONE light that got you hooked...

    Surefire G2 incan started it but the Olight M20 pushed me over the deep end. now i'm looking for that light that'll put a stop to the maddness.

    DEFT vs. Tiablo A9 Aspheric and Dereelight DBS Aspheric

    i have the A9 and DBS, both w/ aspheric heads. i feel that the A9/aspheric setup is a little stronger than the DBS/aspheric setup but the DBS is still a much better light. since your pill is an XR-E then you should be fine, the die is what matters. the cool thing about the DBS is the ability...

    Is it that hard to focus a XML emitter?

    when manufactures come up w/ a new style of emitter (ie the XP or SST series) it is commonplace for them to make a second or third version w/ a larger die. this way they are increasing output but are still using the same basic technology. its a way to develop a new product w/ minimal R&D expense.

    Is it that hard to focus a XML emitter?

    that's just the way larger emitters are. the larger source point of emitted light means there is a smaller concentration of light w/ which to begin. most companies i'm aware of are redesigning their reflectors to optimize the focus of whatever emitter they are incorporating into their product...

    Are there any good coast lights?

    Re: Are Coast brand LED flashlights any good? i'll do my best to be rational. they do make decent lights but they are grossly overpriced. the most unfortunate part is that they hold the rights to patents that i believe other manufacturers could execute much more effectively. i would stay...

    What high end light that you have......

    my two most expensive lights see a ton of use. one is an bored C3 w/ A19 extender, Cerakote orange from Oveready. it has a triple XP-G R4 lamp and i get a ton of use out of that spotting coons in the trees. that bright wide beam covers so much area and cuts my search time way down. the other...

    Surefire: TIR or Reflector

    not sure which I like better, it obviously depends on the application. but to be clear, TIR's are not more long-distance capable than reflectors. they are simply able to throw long distances w/out being quite as large...thats the main difference. personally I am very happy w/ my LX2 / FM54...

    Ugliest brand youve never given a chance?

    i'm gonna say Dereelights but i still think they have one of the best product lines around. i have a "kit" of tons of DBS and CL1H parts and will never part w/ them.

    What's your beater LED light(s) and why?

    my EDC is an Ra Clicky 170 so that definitely counts as a beater. the other would be my Maelstrom because its a great light but if it were totally wrecked i wouldn't care enough to replace it w/ another. my NEW beater is now an Oveready bored C2-HA w/ Z48 & Nailbender XM-L T5 4500K 3-mode.

    What was the last flashlight that made you grin that evil, powerful light grin?

    last one was a KX2 head that i picked up from vestureofblood a week ago. he modded it w/ an XM-L T6, 3-mode driver, max 2.8A its an absolute cannon and its barely larger than a Sharpie.
