    Owners of 3x18650 lights - Battery Tube Too Large for Hand Comfort?

    Whats a "handshoe size 9"? I don't actually own any 4 side by side battery lights and have not attempted to use them with leashes in my hand, so if you arent dogwalking Grizzly's preference is probably best. I just like to be able to hold on to the leashes and loop my finger/thumb around the...

    Are UltraFire Flashlights any good?

    You can judge by the specs: you take the lumens and divide by 2 for most of them, and for the "top lumen outputs" (7-12x T6) you divide by 3 :) And thats not a joke ^^ I'm starting to have a good picture of Trustfire lights here (not Ultrafire), which are the same price range. They seem to be...

    Night walking with strong lights

    Ah, well yes people get sensitive about race I think, and I didnt mean anything by it, but I really don't think mentioning race is bad here. If they were whatever race I'd say it if it adds an information factor, and it does. In this case it adds to my uncertainty: I dont know Chinese...

    UltraFire 9T6 (with 9 x XM-L) Review (2-3x 18650 or 26650)

    I got the 12*XML version (claiming 13,000 lumens) for a present, and it sure is bright, but I'd guess more like 4,500 lumens. When it rains, the driver appears to turn LEDs off/on even on high, I get the "cartoon rain" effect that I've noticed on med and low power using my 3*XML. Anyone have...

    Owners of 3x18650 lights - Battery Tube Too Large for Hand Comfort?

    I love the 3 battery length for everything except pocketability. I walk two dogs with it and sometimes I like to put both leashes and the light in one hand securely, I couldn't do that with fat parallel battery setups. However, 3 battery series setup does appear to have some possible danger...

    Night walking with strong lights

    No problem yet! Its neither inflammatory nor off base, I want to avoid problems and would like to know if anyone has had any, or has any advice...if they do call the cops on me. :) I've been the victim of police making up a reason and over reaction in the distant past before (unrelated to...

    Night walking with strong lights

    Now that I have some higher powered lights, using/playing with them at night walking my dogs, when I pass one house on my route, I have a Chinese family who goes nuts. They have big windows, and when I go by, the get excited and all come to the windows, put hands to the windows so they can see...

    Help a noob with his charger/ battery decision

    Hey I'm new here too, but I'm still "unenlightened". What do I have to do to get "Enlightened" under my name, cop an attitude? ;)

    walking dog at night, part 2

    Dogs dont have better eyes than people, can't even see all the colors we do, but they have better noses and ears though. I wouldnt try shining a light to dissuade an aggressive dog, in fact the act of blinding it might make it more aggressive: if its afraid/aggressive and you take out one of...

    walking dog at night, part 2

    Nice to hear it ended well. Thats actually one of the biggest problems with Huskys: "Oh I'm off leash? RUUUUUUUUUN! Whats that? Ruuuuuuun over there!" :)

    Using a 9x XM-L T6 flashlight at max

    I have the same kind of questions for the 7x and 12x lights. On the TrustFire TF26650 5000mAh (Flame) batteries, its protection is supposed to kick in at 6.7A but according to HKJ's site, it kicks in at 7.2A. How does this fit in with total amps possible on a new inserted driver? Does the fact...

    walking dog at night, part 2

    Since you are here writing about it I'd say that massive Husky was more serious about investigating you than biting you :) I have two Husky mixes myself, they'll go right up and see whats up, but biting isn't on their mind (unless maybe if someone tried to whack them with a flashlight, dogs...

    walking dog at night, part 2

    Exactly what he said above ^ If she doesnt want to use a defensive weapon that injures a dog LESS like pepper spray or a stun light, she's not going to have the will/strength/accuracy and speed to beat a dog with a piece of metal.... I'd look more into convincing her about the defensive items I...

    Battery recycling -- Ultrafire prevention!

    Thanks for responding all. Yes I'm in the USA. But I was asking more if there was a way to safely partially destroy the batteries (render unusable) so they arent re-packaged and sold again after recycling them. From the battery contents of "Ultrafires" and reports of other people and the way...

    Battery recycling -- Ultrafire prevention!

    Before I knew anything about Li ions I made several purchases of "Ultrafire 3000"s and "5000mAh" Chinese batteries on Amazon, and I was able to return most of them. In a couple cases, I was able to get a refund and they didnt require the batteries returned. Now the "5000mAh" Chinese batteries...
