    Long distance walking.

    Try the Jetbeam PA40 (preferred) or the Fenix LD40(almost the same light) 4xAA... not entirely "lightweight"(although the plastic helps it drop a few grams)... but not bad if it's your only light. Fits the hand nicely. This light can fill alot of roles and I think it would be good for an...

    Tough Reliable best AAA multiple mode/level EDC

    Ooops, missed that. Even better then, you have a long time to make a decision... no worries about the limited neutral/hcri editions running out. As far as waterproofing even these smaller AAA (at least the 47) are rated for ipx-8, even with the clickie. So unless you are diving with it I...

    Flashlight for Skiing

    If you get a headlamp make sure you get one which "throws" (as opposed to an all-flood light). Very important if you're going to use it for skiing so you can see far enough ahead. If you want a flashlight I would recommend a 1xcr123a, 1xAA light, or even 1xAAA if you want to give up runtime...

    Tough Reliable best AAA multiple mode/level EDC

    Try the Foursevens Preon 1(1xAAA + additional clicky tailcap) or Preon 2(2xAAA Includes clicky tailcap) They are available in a limited High-CRI edition Edited to comply with forum rules. This will get you a nice tint reminiscent of an incandescent bulb with the runtime of a led. -tibim

    Save a ZL from an exploded alkaline.

    Do not underestimate using a proper contact cleaner. Especially since you are seeing a flicker, there is still a chance to revive it, IMO. I had a light that was intermittent like you describe which I cleaned as well as I thought possible with q-tips and alcohol. It did not help. I purchased...

    Save a ZL from an exploded alkaline.

    Try some contact cleaner like DeoxIT. Good luck.

    Maglite in cold weather

    I thought it may be the batteries... however when i could get it to turn on by playing with the switch it seemed pretty bright... Are there any D size batteries that are better for cold weather use?

    Maglite in cold weather

    Anyone have any experience with maglites in cold weather(Mine is a 3D)? I keep mine in my vehicle and the other day I went to go use it... it was probably about 20F outside. It worked fine at first and then shut off.. When I went to cycle the power and turn it back on the switch was making it...

    Keeping a bi-pin bulb in its holder

    I tried to "flatten" the bipin and wasted two bulbs doing this because i kept flattening them too much and they wouldn't fit into the bipin holder (to the point that they would bend trying and crack the glass.. :)) I tried bending the pins slightly and this worked until I was using the light...

    Keeping a bi-pin bulb in its holder

    I just built a wa1111 and love the light... the only thing I am having issues with is the bulb likes to fall out of the bi-pin holder. I slightly bent the pins on the bulb to make the fit a bit tigher, but the bulb will still drop out under moderate impact. I'm using the FM brass bi-pin...

    I'll admit when I wrote this writeup it was partially out of bordem and I had no idea it would become so popular. I plan to update the original post when I get some time since the Fenix reflectors(Which worked GREAT) are no longer available. Other people have used some reflectors that I...
