    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    Nice. That's a serious dome on that. What kind of beam does that throw? Is there any particular brand of 26650 battery you guys recommend? I don't mind paying extra for quality and, more importantly, safety. I was reading that exploding 18650 thread and I'd hate to run into something like...

    Thanks for the link, looks like you got nice output on your mod. Thanks, guys. Definitely sounds like I should stay away from the AAs in whatever format. I'm thinking 26650 sounds better and easier, if it just requires the PVC sleeve.

    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    I don't have any particular use in mind for these so I'm pretty flexible. I like a medium beam profile--more throw than flood if I had to choose one or the other. I'd just really like something as high an output as I can safely get. I'd like neutral white, but would prefer cooler over warmer...

    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    Thanks, Gtamazing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Jesus who did mine--I think it was done before his time, but I saw a thread with his work and it looks great. I'm hoping that I would even be able to get these fluted/finned if he's still doing that work. Did you make your own battery carrier for...

    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    Thanks, Gtamazing. I've been trying to remember who did the cutting for me but am drawing a blank. I'm thinking it was about 3-4 years ago. This was actually my second attempt after someone ripped me off the first time I tried (sent him the lights but he never sent anything back). Another reason...

    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestions, Chodes. Most of that was greek to me, but it gave me a start for my research. I had forgotten the 4xAA required the bored barrel. Is there an adapter for the 18650 or 26650 to a 1D? I would love for this to be multi-staged, too. The Malkoff drop ins look...

    Looking for mod (and modder) suggestions

    So I've been out of the flashlight game for a few years now, but I've been cleaning out all my flashlight crap and stumbled across these D Maglites that I had someone cut down to 1D size in the anticipation of modding them. I originally was going to sell them, but after thinking about it, I...

    Need cheap, long lasting lights for power outages at work

    Cool, another Hawaii flashaholic. Unfortunately Gem's and Gibson's died out a long time ago. I don't even remember WigWam so that must've been before my time. Any requirements aside from price? The PT Attitudes that Sigman is selling are good economy lights at a great price. The three LEDs...

    I need a headlamp!

    I like everything about the Argo HP except for the beam. The one I have has an ugly beam (at least in my opinion).

    Argo HP, tell me how you like it if you have one

    The 123 batts was one of the reasons I bought mine but I've been pretty disappointed with it. Positives are that it's pretty light due to the 2x123 instead of the 3xAAA that most use, straps are really comfortable, regulated, 2-level, inexpensive. Negatives are all about beam quality. I just...

    Question for KL4 owners?

    Another convert here. My first Surefire was an E2 and my second Surefire was an L4. Sold my E2 shortly after getting the L4. But the E2 did get a lot of use (and it showed), but I just loved the output on the L4 and the whiteness of the LED (I have a good tint) along with the Z57 clickie and...
