    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Coast HP14 - 4AA - 629 lumen high/52 lumen low version. My brightest LED flashlight to date, and the price on eBay was hard to resist - much more reasonable than the MSRP. Plus I've been enjoying the HP5 I got previously for a good price on eBay, so now I have its big brother.

    It's lego time with my sunlite little monster,I've re-named it "carlsberg"

    Re: It's lego time with my sunlite little monster,I've re-named it "carlsberg" These Sunlite flashlights are very interesting; I like how all the different heads can be used on the different bodies with different power sources. I've been trying to read all the threads I can find about them, but...

    cheap AA lights (with a twist)...

    A little while ago, Target was clearing out their Nite Ize IQ Switch/1W Luxeon Minimag dropin packs for about $5. So I bought two, along with two regular Minimags (a blue one for my son and a pink one for my daughter) at about $9 each, and installed the dropins and switches and gave them to my...

    Old School Round Two

    My first LED flashlight was the Dorcy LED Light - 4AA, Yellow Body, Rubber Bezel, Single 5mm LED. At the time I thought it was so cool that I bought two. The large reflector threw a tight but weak beam, and the 5mm LED would probably run near forever on 4AAs. Since the LED was PR-Based, over...

    >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX!<<<

    Re: >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX!<<< Hmm, I wonder how well this word work in a Mag 2C with 2x18500 li-ion cells? I'm thinking voltage should be okay, in a nicer form factor than a Mag 3 - 6 D, but with less runtime than D Cells? beakman

    2007 shot show report

    Anyone have any info about those illumitack LED marker lights? SHOT Show Page 3 Seems like it would be handy to include a few of the flashing ones in a car kit, to stick to the outside of your car if you're pulled over with car trouble. And keep a couple of the constant-on ones in the car for...

    What's the brightest single-cell incan?

    I have one of these, too, and it's going to be hard to beat; probably impossible with a stock light. According to flashlightreviews.com, the stock Strion puts out about the same amount of light as most 2xCR123 xenon lights; way more than a stock E1e; and the MiniMiniMag with 14500 li-ion should...
