    I need a new light

    I tell ya I've had it a while now and there is nothing at all the matter with the JetBeam BA20 flashlight. You can't use the 3.7 volt rechargables but it works great with Eneloops which is what I use in mine and while I honestly don't use it as much as I do others I can say that if you just want...

    Looking for a small AA EDC light

    I have the new D25 Clicky in Limited Edition Titanium and love it! Great light, uses 3.7 volt batteries and you get all the same features with these batteries as you do Eneloops and it likes Eneloops so that is a plus also. Seriously if a single AA is your choice you'll love this light. I'm...

    Whats the deal with Jetbeam?

    I like my PA10 and liked it well enough to buy a second. The box says sysmax on it and speaking of the box it is the single best hard shell box I've ever received with flashlight. I find no fault with the lights other than perhaps they like batteries. For the time they run tho I don't see what...

    Where to buy Eneloop batteries? Are they the best?

    They are great batteries and the way to go if you have a light that likes them. My Peak El Capitan not so much but the EagleTac D25 twisty loves the things and I use them and nothing else in that light anymore. Getting good long life out of them too. I find my JeTbeam PA10 likes the Eneloops too...

    Newbie looking for AMERICAN made AA or AAA edc light

    I own a Peak Logan and the El Capitan and carry the El Capitan daily. Its no bigger than a chap stick really when in the pocket. It works well with alkalines but not exceptional or really respectable if you have the med lens as mine is. It does not really come into it's own until you run a 3.7v...

    I want a new AA light that can take alkaline and Lithium Ion. EDC

    The D25A twisty in titanium by EagleTac has taken over my pocket. I love this light with the Sanyo Eneloop getting absolutely wonderful run times and more than sufficient brightness to please anyone that I know. I use this light every morning and every evening to walk to and from my shop which...

    For the price Whats a good knife for under $50?

    My favorite 50 buck knife is the Cold Steel Mini AK-47. It is a lot of fun and quite trustworthy for a lot of abuse that normally only the biggest heaviest knives would be able to take. Its amazing what you can do with these. It is not the most comfortable knife in as many grips as some others...

    My in-laws both need keychain lights!

    I suggest the Peak El Capitan with the keyring option and medium beam profile. I own this light and could not be happier with it. The same batteries last much much longer using this light compared to my other single AA lights. The complete control of the brightness is why I think. Its a great...

    Top 3 Single Cell AA lights

    1) I give the number one spot to the El Capitan by Peak lighting. 2)EagleTac D25A Twisty gets second place. Specifically mine is the D25AM Ti with the XMLU2 and I love it. Brightest light I own too even brighter than the D25C which I also own along with several other CR123 lights, D and C cell...

    Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)

    Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G) I can confirm that it does well with eneloops and it is a singer with 14500s in it. The emitter can really sing out and sometimes I'll turn it off and back on to shut it up. Tis a tad annoying to be honest but...

    Looking for my first single CR123A EDC Light

    I like the D25C I own a lot when using the regular lithium batteries at 3.0 volt ratings. I've been using the Powerizer camera batteries in it and it is perfect at the medium setting here using these lights. High is extremely high and low is probably going to be deemed too low. It seems 5 out of...

    Help me decide on 1 x CRC123 light

    I have the Peak Logan and the D25C Clicky in Titanium both. Before that I owned a couple other 123 lights that I no longer own. I have mixed feelings about both of these that I do have. I love a lot about the Logan. I bought the stainless steel model. It is built just excellently and I love the...

    Titanium AA's?

    I believe he refers to the grade or type of titanium alloy, specifically he refers to knife maker grade or grade 5 titanium 6AL-4V hence the "6/4" reference if I'm not mistaken. Of course this comes in various thicknesses but this is a good alloy and mostly what is carried by sellers for what...

    AA vs CR123a EDC

    My first lights were all CR123s and I went to AA to simply save money. I know some have had leaks with Wal-Mart bought batteries and I read about it a lot. Been using them for as long as I can remember and I've never had one leak so I find they work just fine and I have no intention of stopping...
