I recently retired from my job and am cleaning out the flashlight drawers. Actually, I have not been active on the forum for years, but my post count indicates activity. All lights come without bulbs, some have batteries. First, "I'LL TAKE IT SENT VIA EMAIL" takes it. Email...
Re: Surefire® Modification Service: Bore + Bezel + Tailcap Options (P, C, and Z Serie

EG,
I checked the fitment guide for the C2 and Z2 and it says "Orbtronic 3400 + OR bored Surefire 6P, C2, Z2". I think this means that the Obtr 3400 will fit in the C2 and Z2. But I then read the...
I won't pretend to suggest what is wrong with your battery-light combination, but I will tell you about a similar incident I experienced. I installed a new, freshly charged 18650 in a 3 cell light and the light turned off seconds later when I tried to switch levels. When I removed the...

Following the three step process:
I would like to bore a Z2 and a C2 Centurion. I am using Orbtronic cells, which are measuring 18.64mm.
Thanks,

I use an old Surefire weapon light, I think it's model 951 or something like that. It's built tough-- which is why I like it--but it's dim with the stock bulb. Not to worry, just add a P60 drop in. Besides that, I think too much is made of brightness in rifle lights. You're only going to...
Since putting a depleted cell in with a normal cell in series is likely to cause problems, how else are you going to know the cell is depleted unless you have a volt meter or a ZTS tester? There is an incident reported in the battery forum about a person who put two new 123 primaries into a...
I have the same light and I use a Solarforce drop in, single brightness, available from Lighthound for under $20.00. Much brighter than Malkoff. I use the XM-L2 model.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the great explanation.
One more question. Is there any difference between a battery holder that is in series and one that is parallel or series-parallel? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the parallel or series-parallel holders could cook off even out of the...
I have read the sticky about the two cell light that "rapidly disassembled" and I have some questions.
I am assuming that these cells ignited because one cell had a different level of energy than the other. Why did the batteries ignite only after the light was turned on?
I remember reading...
