    What's a good price to ask for my lights?

    Search B/S/T and eBay completed auctions for your particular lights. The average of the prices you find will be a pretty good estimator.

    I thought the led tailcap was just a gimmick, until I owned one. I can't get over how often the leds are enough light, and the extended runtime sure helps. Come to think of it, I thought the A2 was just a gimmick, until I owned one. ;)

    Cheap parts for a Newb?

    ebay, if you want kitted parts, ham & robotics vendors if you're buying by the pound. Good intro article: HowTo: Electronic design on a budget « Movin’ to Seattle From my del.icio.us files: Kits, Grab Bags, and other components: NightFire Electronic Kits : NightFire Electronics...

    Need new EDC recommendations...

    Computer only, I believe. They are in Hong Kong and wouldn't appreciate phone calls in the middle of (their) night. Email and web form for resolving complaints.

    Battery Springs:

    If you're pushing enough amps that it makes a difference (and LuxLuthor often does :-0 ), you can bypass the spring with a loop of thick gage copper wire, or a length of desoldering braid.

    Battery Springs:

    Ace and Home Depot for C-D range cells; they also have a few that would work with AA/CR123a. They also have a pretty good selection of O-rings, if the one you want is a common plumbing size ;)

    Need new EDC recommendations...

    I prefer KD - on the basis of two purchases from each. KD got both orders correct and shipped promptly; DX sent both in multiple shipments over a several-week period. I'm still waiting on items from an order a month ago.

    Man this is a good way to get the wife upset

    Leave a bunch of car magazines lying around, and casually ask, "I wonder if the garage is big enough for a '69 Camaro and a few rolling toolboxes?" PhantomPhoton had it right - the only things worse than "the" wife is "my current" wife and the deadly "my future ex-" wife. Just sayin'

    whats a good first incandescent flashlight?

    I kind of like the advice to buy a cheap light first - then you'll appreciate the expensive ones! Pocket Incans (1xCR123a, 2xCR123a) are becoming niche products. LEDs in the same class offer (almost) equivalent performance with longer runtimes. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the E1e...

    Any interest in a Midwestern (Ohio) get-together?

    My wife is sick, looks like I will not be able to make it. Dang! The best laid plans of mice and men...

    Any interest in a Midwestern (Ohio) get-together?

    Slight possibility my 11 year old son will tag along, other than that it's me only. Where and when are we planning on meeting? I'd like to compare Google Maps and Mapquest to see if they agree :-) Also, does our host have a sweet tooth, or like wine or beer? I'd like to bring a small Thank you.

    Do Ultrafire 18650's come fully charged?

    The unloaded, just off the charger voltage for Rechargeable Li-Ions is 4.2 V, dropping to ~3.7 after 10-20% capacity has been used. It will also dip under load. Here is a good chart.
