    Headlamp for close-up, wide angle use

    My boss - knowing I'm into flashlights - asked me what headlamp to buy for his purpose of looking behind 19" audio racks... he simply expected me to know ALL about headlamps, but unfortunately I don't! All he wants is the following: - a normal amount of light, no extreme brightness needed -...

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    In the mean time, I really bought the 3-cell ML25IT... the best incan money can buy nowadays (I mean: standard, non-modified lights). Compared to the ML25LT, the quality of the light is way better of course (incan) but the downside is of course runtime... hardly over 3 hours!

    FiveMega 1.25D Mag, tri-bored

    Both from the Master: FiveMega himself! Just ask if he has some more, but hurry: these were getting low in his stock or maybe I even got the last ones...

    How do you explain this Hobby?

    Yes, I use the protected 3400mAh Wolf Eyes batteries. The extra sturdy, long life ones. Indeed, not cheap, but a great value. I've been using Wolf Eyes batteries and flashlight for over 10 years now, the first 18650 still has to fail on me.

    Keeping the best for last... FiveMega Elephant II !

    Finally, after years of waiting, I was able to maybe grab the last one that could be produced... FiveMega found back part after part, finally only the tailcap was missing, if I remember correctly, it took him a week or so to find it back ;-) But then: it was ready! This is no flashlight...

    The FM09 is also in...

    As those 25500 batteries are no longer available, I chose the FM09 instead and built a WA1174 (7.2V / 2.77A) bulb in it. Add two 26650 batteries and you are set! Switch it on... and have a LOT of warm, nice incan-light! I really like this light. It's slim and not at all too long or too heavy...

    How do you explain this Hobby?

    I simply don't explain it. Today, a FiveMega Elephant II came in for me, finally, after a lot of waiting due to improper services of the Dutch post. That thing is huge in the 12X 18650 version, it's long, thick and has a very large head. "What are you going to use THAT for?!?!" my boss asked. So...

    FiveMega 1.25D Mag, tri-bored

    Today, the postman came and delivered a very nice package from the US: no less than three FM creations were in it. I have them up and running the way I would like them to, they all work flawlessly, as I've come to expect from FiveMega. This is the most compact way to have a 3S li-ion setup I...

    Favorite Incan and led light

    My favorite incan light must be the FiveMega "Megalennium" 3S 18650. Add a standard SF M6 head, a WA1166 bulb if I remember correctly and of course a FM MN to bipin-adapter and you're ready to go! My favorite LED flashlight? I don't have a favorite LED flashlight. I can only say the "least...

    Your Favorite Modified Flashlight

    My favorite modified flashlights are all incans. I simply don't like LED flashlights. The one that's my pride is the Megalennium 3S 18650... by FiveMega, indeed. Second must be again a FM construction: the M*g 2.5D, taking either 4 pieces 18650 in a 2S/2P configuration or 2 of those chunky...

    Favorite maglite size

    2.5D cell, taking either 4 pieces 18650 (2S/2P) or two of those giant 32650s. This is a FiveMega special, you can't buy it in the shops... unfortunately!! I further modified it with a metal reflector and a glass lens, and a Tad Customs 7.2V / 1.2 Amps PR-bulb. A GREAT light!! If it has to be a...

    Would you leave the Maha Powerex MH-C9000 unattended???

    Very simple: ANY charger that charges lithium based cells, I NEVER, EVER leave charging overnight. This includes my smartphone(!!) Chargers that charge NiMH cells, I regularly leave charging overnight, as that is a "safe chemistry".
