    *new* Lumintop SD75: XPH70 LED, max. 4000 lumens

    Okay, I'm guessing 65Dan, Mike66 and MCH56 are all the same person, and this is bordering on advertising. 2 threads, 3 people, all low posts, all joined this month, only commented on this light, all starting posts with "I Love", or saying why the light is great. Cut it out

    New slider switch - where are they at?

    Inova Microlight STS had a capacitive (sp) swipe action on their keychain light. It was pretty ordinary really, swipe one way to turn it on, swipe the other to turn it off. Power consumption was very low, PCB (if there even was one) was tiny so could be put in a light, but in practice, the light...

    My first HDS - Question about the flush button & raised button switches.

    I'm finally ready to buy another one (will be my fifth, but I sold 3 of them, so... second?) I love the flat switch still, I did like the raised button for when I was wearing gloves, or holding the light in my fist, but in the end I liked semi-tail stand, and the slightly shorter profile. Also...

    The 2015 Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Cast Your Vote!

    I still have my HCRI 100 (see my thread in the light suggestions sub) and I love it. the emitter is just about perfect, and I wouldn't want to upgrade either. I also parted with a Cool 120 (cree possibly?) and a 170 (golden dragon?) but kept the 100 (p4?) because it looked best. Trust me, they...

    Sold/Expired FS: 4000 Lumen XHP70 Mag Mod with Voltage Monitor Option...

    Ooh, I know what i'm saving up for! I have one of your 1000 lumen mods, and it is probably my most used big lights because it has the battery monitor in it. This thing would be amazing! give me a month or two and I will be back for one of these!

    lights you regret buying? why?

    Nextorch. the first of the AA programable ones. Sounded kinda cool, program your own levels with your computer, through USB... but it was just varying levels of bad PWM. It was probably measured in dozens of flashes per second once you got below mid brightness. Led Lenser (forget the model...

    Recommend a light for me to abuse

    Sorry, Haven't been near a computer for a while. Work and a new bub in the house means no free time haha. Great suggestions in this thread so far! I have destruction tested an EO1 on a number of occasions. I can't kill them, they end up getting replaced because they aren't pretty anymore :)...

    Recommend a light for me to abuse

    First post here in a long time, but I have a strange request, and wanted to see what people thought, or would want to see take some real abuse. I know there have been destruction tests here before, but I don't want to kill the light, I just want to brutalize it and keep it as a workhorse. I...

    New SureFire P2X Fury with Intellibeam

    I think it would be very little power usage. My guess is that it is more of a passive effect. The light on the photo sensor, would generate a small current, that would be fed back to the driver. I think it wouldn't use significantly more power than continuously turning a magnetic ring on a...

    Gravity Light - support it! Fantastic idea!

    This is a great idea! I kinda want one for my kids nightlight. Get up at 2am to them, put on the gravity light, it safely goes out after 20 minutes

    Rare Malkoff P60 dropin compendium - listing & pics

    There is one less in the world. Over a year ago, I bought one of the DD modules from the marketplace (from what I recall, it was a warm MCE-DD) and it arrived with 2 of the four emitter cores blown (like, smokey and brown) output was about 120 lumens and looked pretty bad. Had definately seen...

    Question about lego-ing Quarks

    yeah, my X was a 2AA in Neutral (first batch), and it doesn't fire up at all on 1 cell. Works fine on 14500, or 2AA. Maybe I got a ****ie one, or my cells are shot. I don't care though, I got it so I could go between 2AA and 1x 14500, or 1x 16340 and get max brightness at various runtimes. I can...

    Question about lego-ing Quarks

    Couple of quick answers: You can generally swap heads and bodies around under certain conditions, The QP2A-X runs from 0.9v to 4.2v, so may work with a single AA, but may not give full brightness, or run for very long. Mine doesn't fire up on a single AA (old 4sevens version) QP2A-X will run...
