    Question on the Ark AAA Turquoise

    Re: Question on the Arc AAA Turquoise Yeah, I just got my Turq about a week or two ago. I love this thing! The beam artifacts IMO are a small price to pay to have the brightness of the Turq LED. I can only imagine how cool this light would be with a DV ranked LED. Pity it's being discontinued.

    Arc AAA Turquoise

    Oh well, black still works. And NO, I'm not going to order a natural body to put the head into. I get to savor this one as-is first.

    LOVE my new AAA turquoise!

    Damn! Oh well, not your fault Peter. Just frustrating. I have to wait for your PCBs, wait for you to build them, ship to Darkgear, and wait for them to ship it to me. Sounds like I may get it AFTER my birthday too. (3/8)

    Hey Dude, You're Getting A Cell !

    Re: Hey Dude, You\'re Getting A Cell ! I kinda liked "Steve"....... Marijuana's less dangerous than alcohol anyways. Just f'ng legalize it and move on. Tax it up like cigarettes, and the gov could MAKE money off of weed instead of SPENDING money to prevent it! Just my $.02

    RedCell Problem

    Ok, has anyone heard of RedCell batteries? I just bought 40 AAs for $10 at CompUSA tonight, and with one exception, they seem to work pretty well. I was installing them in a 2xAA light of mine, and it lit up fine, nice and bright. After shutting it off for about 10 minutes, I picked it back...

    Please list your Favorite LED Flashlights

    My selection is limited, but my fav right now is the Opalec. Roughneck Mag body, bulletproof LED module, flat regulated, small enough for EDC, and works marvelously w/ NiMH. I have an Arc AAA Turq on backorder though, and I have a good feeling about it. Unfortunately, I have no LS lights to...

    M*g ??????

    Simply put: M@glite is a company that produces high durability flashlights using 20 year old technology, and will eventually scare its customers into not even talking about their products for fear of a lawsuit.

    M*g ??????

    I agree that they make a decent product, even if it IS 20 year old tech. They aren't my favorite product because of the beam quality, and the lack of brightness though. They make outstanding flashlight bodies, and most M@glites could suffer a nuclear blast and come out with only a broken bulb...
