    Torches with programmable operation?

    Are there any torches available with programmable functions? It's impossible to find something that has the features and specs I want that isn't also loaded down with a whole bunch of modes or inconvenient methods of operation (I don't need a 5,000lumen thrower that flashes, I'm sorry). With so...

    ISO single-cell end-clicky ~1,000lumen on/off spot pattern flashlight

    Does this even exist? Everything I find always has a bunch of different modes. I just want on and off. I may settle for something with a low/high but I definitely will not go for something with a strobe function. Help!

    Are 3030 SMD LED's really this bright?

    I was originally going to use 5630's but I just saw this, that would really be wonderful if this is true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMD_LED_Module

    I'll stick with my ebay crap.

    I've been using CFL's for the past 10 or so years but I decided it's time to go LED. At first I was going to get some Ebay bulbs and even though I've never had a problem with any of my many other Ebay no-name purchases over the years I decided - NO, do it right this time, I want these bulbs to...

    Why no love for Niteye?

    Won't the stainless bezel have a galvanic reaction with the aluminum body? Salty sweat is the perfect electrolyte to exacerbate this process.

    Few large or many small?

    I've seen a couple cheap 4-die hosts and I was thinking about modding some just for fun using 4 U2 dies but then I learned about the new(ish) XHP70 and thought maybe it would be more fun and potentially brighter to do a single one of those. Which sounds like the more fun project? As I'm typing...

    OE Vehicle Lighting That Makes You Go "Ugh"

    The tail lights on most Kias are up high at eye-level, except of course for the directionals - which for some reason are down at the bottom of the bumper where no one is looking. I have no idea how this even passed NHTSA standards. Must have a third brake light that's at or above eye-level, but...

    Minor Annoyance about DRLs

    Parking lights aren't visible in direct sunlight from more than a dozen or so yards away. And have you ever noticed that DRL's always utilize the high-beams, not the low-beams? That's because high-beams are aimed higher - hence "high" beam. This means your under-driven high-beams in DRL mode are...

    Nitecore Tube

    Well after about 4 months one of mine started blinking on anything but the lowest of output levels. Shame. I really liked this thing.

    *NEW* Nitecore MH10 Rechargeable 1000 Lumen Light

    Then why did you buy it? Amazing that so many people are completely ignoring the main aspect of this light - the USB recharge function. Why else would you get this specific light? And then proceed to criticize it? Why didn't you just get a version without the recharge function? Unbelievable...

    De-doming?

    Well that was quite the read!

    Confused about DealMetic order...

    Why? Why would you do that to me?

    Confused about DealMetic order...

    I placed an order using the "non-member" checkout - entered my email, paid via PayPal - and then I was redirected to a member sign-in page without being given any type of order confirmation. Is this normal? I did receive an email from PayPal stating I've sent a payment to them (million power...

    De-doming?

    The domes are clear, are they not? So isn't the cause of the tint change from the fuel contaminating the phosphor coating? When my light gets here, I think I'll try the heating method.
