    Replacement bulb question

    No doubt you joined this forum to ask your question, and unfortunately I haven't visited CPF for quite a while (how quickly time passes). I wound up buying one while on a trip to Asia, iirc it was around $25, and it was a Panasonic branded FML27EX-N, which was listed as 5000K, and was a much...

    Cree 5mm LEDs are awesome!

    Very interesting thread, John! I've been looking at low powered LEDs myself as a way to retrofit some old cheap flashlights to make them more interesting/useful Where do you get your LEDs (both high powered and 5mm) from? I've been looking for reputable places to buy them but I only really...

    I regret to inform you...

    This just came up on yahoo's homepage. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091206/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan Just a paragraph, not much details, but it seems to be referring to this. If it turns out not to be appropriate, or if OP wants it removed, I'll gladly do it. I personally feel that this...

    I regret to inform you...

    Terribly sorry about your loss, I feel all the more angry and sad about it considering that my personal pov of the war is that it is an endless, pointless, unnecessary, and impulsive one... How many lives, potentially brilliant men and women, whose contributions to society and mankind will...

    LED vendors?

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm interested in purchasing some LEDs, both 5mm (Nichias) and Crees (esp XR-Es) for upgrading lights I have, and, should my soldering skills improve, maybe even upgrading car dome lights. Where can I find LED vendors, I tried googling, but with only...

    Replacement bulb question

    In lieu of finding a light bulb forum (is there even such a site?), I'll post here first since I'm a cpf member already. So, I have a desk lamp with a bulb that's got 4 fluorescent tubes coming out of it. The bulb I have in it blew out a few months ago after no less than 12 years of faithful...

    Is Lenser P7 okay? Or what should I choose?

    2AA has more energy in it than 4AAA (4000 mAh vs 3200 mAh for typical LSD cells) The Fenix will provide a more traditional beam pattern, with a central spot and some dim side lighting, wihle the LED lenser will just have one big spot that can be focused and defocused. The P7 seems brighter...

    Is Lenser P7 okay? Or what should I choose?

    I havent read the responses, but I would say dont get the LL. They have a bad rep in the forums in general and with good reason. Particularly in your case, i don't think the zooming capabilities will produce a good pattern for biking (at least I don't think). I have a pair of Fenix L2Ds and...

    Unfortunate news re: My Jet IIIM

    Just a thought, can't you go back and look for it in your off time? Could save you a fair amount of money if you manage to retrieve it...

    MagLite upgraded to a Rebel!! (pics in post 34)

    If runtime isn't important, then just use a couple of NiMH AAs (normal ones if you use them every day, LSD ones otherwise) and a couple adapters.

    How are H1 bulbs brighter then 9004s? They are smaller

    I'm sure Schein is much more knowledgeable than me in these matters, what I say will come from my pre-existing knowledge and a bit of common sense. I would guess that a bigger filament/bigger bulb would allow automakers to design housings that control the beam pattern with more ease versus one...

    Durability of Fenix E01

    I've had the E01 for about 8 months now and although at first I didn't like the crappy tint, it proved to be a good little keychain light, there for when I dont need a lot of light, and as something that i KNOW will always work. That said, I wish the next keychain AAA light from Fenix will...

    Brick and mortar source for 3C or 4C Maglite?

    Well first off welcome, if you were at Fry's it sounds like you trying out some of the P-series LED Lensers, which do indeed have great output at the start, and a pretty extraordinary (for more established light makers) focusing system, but are otherwise considered overpriced, and for the most...

    fenix ld01 with xp-e r2

    It's also changed in the serial number (whatever it's called) in the 4sevens page. Personally, I like the iTP A3's level spacing a lot better, and it's smaller, not to mention 90%+ Fenix's build quality for half price A step up to an R2 from a Q5 is a marginal improvement at best. Personally...

    Halogen bulb options?

    You'll get no argument from me, being the driver of an older sedan (new sedans have drivers seated a few inches higher), I'm constantly attacked by the huge SUVs and trucks whose lights shine directly into my rear windshield.... I'll be sure to aim them after installing them. I say Osram...
