    Problem with Pelican 8060. Looking for new light

    I suppose I need to run my 8060 by my spectrum analyzer. We operate on VHF and have no problems. Bkumanski - completely wrong. There is an upcoming change to narrowband (2.5KHz deviation) in 2013, but that does not mandate digital. Also, you can be digital on VHF just as easily as you can on...

    what type of led is used in police car lights?

    Depends on the technology. Early (Generation I) technology used typical 5mm LEDs in an array. Generation II technology uses Superflux LEDs... not many manufacturers ever used these. Later (Gen III) technologies use 3-watt Luxeons with either TIR optics (a la Whelen TIR3/TIR6) or Linear optics...

    MIRT left on ties up traffic

    Not into a device like a mag, not enough reflector. However, they sell Opticom emitters in the form factor of a rechargeable spotlight for testing purposes. However, most systems run ID now... good luck activating them. For the OP... in general, law and policy dictates that preemption emitters...

    TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4

    If you choose to order it, I hope the unit shows up working properly. I recently ordered 3 TerraLUX dropins for the 3-6D Maglites, following an order of 2. One of the three was defective... they expect the purchaser to pay return shipping for the defective unit. I'm waiting for an answer from...

    >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX!<<<

    Re: >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX!<<< Well, I received three more of the 3-6 cell dropin replacements... two worked great... one got quite bright for a half-second and then went *poof*. Looks like it's back to BatteryJunction for that one.

    Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites?

    And a significant decrease in runtime, since D-cells are specced around 20Ah and C-cells around 8Ah. These lights are used for public safety work (fire/ems)... runtime is important. Not to mention, C cells have a significantly smaller diameter than Ds - the cells would rattle around.

    Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites?

    Why? I don't want a 4-cell light... way too big. Even a 3D is bigger than the Streamlight that I'm used to carrying.

    I have no knowledge of their manufacturing changes. However, yes, I am quite sure that one is dimmer than the other...

    I don't claim to be an expert... but the older module is *considerably* dimmer than the newer one.

    Is the NEW Surefire L5 at 6.1" be too long for EDC?

    I EDC an L2... same length, but the L5 is considerably bulkier. The L2 is no problem in its belt holster... but the bulkiness of the L5 might be an issue.

    Re: Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites? I receieved two 6EXs last night and immediately dropped one into my 3D Mag. I compared the new LED to three other lights... 2D Mag with older MagLED module, 3D Mag with newer MagLED module, and a Streamlight...

    Greetings all - I've been lurking awhile, but this is my first post. Noob alert.:laughing: I'm slowly working to upgrade my various lighting accessories to all LED, and am looking for a few ideas. I'm a volunteer firefighter... so I need lights that are dependable and can handle getting...
