    500 Lumen - AAA Flashlight (photos) - Work In Progress - Part 2

    I'm still waiting for the refund I asked for last April. Pretty disappointed to see Guy rustling up 10's of thousands of dollars in crowdfunding on his latest project while he ignores those of us left hanging from the last unfulfilled tranche of the torpedo. I have every sympathy when people...

    Sold/Expired WTB: GatLight V2 168s

    Hi Olaf. Sorry that this did not work out for you. I believe that there were only ever about 10 of the long SS Gatlight version 2's made. I am one of the original owners and sorry but I consider it a modern classic and I have never considered selling it. It has taken me several years to...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Used a C3 / moddoo triple to make a 2 hour descent of this in the Italian Dolomites after dark http://alavigne.net/Outdoors/FeatureReports/ViaFerrata/PictureDataVF_Colac/IMG_0774.jsp Mostly done on low mode with odd bursts on full for routefinding. Hint - close one eye before going to full...

    Do you carry a flashlight 24/7?

    The only thing I wear 24/7 is a watch :-) But daytime I mostly have an Orb raw Nickel Silver in my pocket and something heavier nearbye like in my satchel, in the car and all around the house including a couple of lights within reach at night time. So almost 24/7 :-)

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Used a new C2 with Malkoff M61W drop in to pick out the trail when completing a descent from the hill after dark. A petzl tikka headtorch was ideal to see the rocks underfoot but a quick blast from the the M61 lit up a good 50 yard ahead making it very easy to pick out the correct route across...

    Need advice on high cell count protected Li-Ion battery pack

    I'm considering converting a hotwire maglight from Ni-MH to Li-Ion cells, mainly because my NiMH pack has a high rate of self discharge and needs regular maintenance. This is a nuisance as the light isn't used every week. Current build : 15x 2/3A cells in series give me 20v hot off the charger...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    A few years ago in New Hampshire, sat eating a meal in a country inn with friends after a day's hiking. Near the end of the main course we had a power cut. I dropped my SF C3 / P91 into an empty beer glass and used the ceiling bounce to light up the whole place while we finished our meal and...

    Sunwayman M40C Questions

    Very interested in this light at the moment but since I won't have the opportunity to try before I buy, I have a couple of questions for anyone who has handled the light ... 1. Although one of my reasons for buying would be the colored LED's set around the edge of the reflector, I strongly...

    Do you guys buy lights to fill a purpose or buy them first and find purpose later?

    First it was "wow, awesome, never knew you could get lights this bright ! Gotta have one of these" Then "wow, awesome, limited edition special. Must get one of these before they're all gone" Now it's "hmmm, interesting, this is much better than my *****. Time to upgrade :)" I've settled down at...

    Flashlight with Carry-On Luggage during Air Travel?

    Though security at the international departures end of Boston Logan air did swab my surefire SC2 spares carriers (and da*n near everything else) for explosives last week :laughing: "far too many electronics in your hand luggage sir, you should have emptied them all out into trays so that we can...

    GATLIGHT V2 UPGRADE - INTEREST THREAD

    I'd definately like to buy into an upgrade, though again as an overseas customer I don't want to ship the light. The improvement in the control and increased output are both very desirable features. It seems to me that the LED / driver assembly is complete and potted, so not something to be...
