    I need a large light, to hang by the back door.

    The L2 would be a good choice, too. I don't have one yet, but plan on changing that soon. It may be an even better fit, as it only has the tail switch, and no side switch. In stock form, I would still think the L6 would be better to keep by the door, as it is such a wide and floody beam that...

    I need a large light, to hang by the back door.

    +1 for the L6! I've always liked Mags, and still have quite a few of their lights. Since getting my L6, my Mags are pretty much just gathering dust, until I get around to modding them. The L6 might be on the small end of your desires, but it is more than adequate if it should ever need to be...

    Say hello to Lumintop Tool AA!

    Bad photoshop or not, that's pretty much how my emitter looked. Like Woods Walker said, it's not a big issue in the field. It really did throw off the hotspot and the rest of the beam. The pwm is way more annoying, in my opinion. I sent them a note about the centering, and they promptly sent out...

    I just got some about a month ago from Simon's Convoy store on Aliexpress. Pretty sure they should be in stock. It took almost a month to get, here in the US. I pm'ed you a link.

    Form factor vs praticality

    I don't own any pop can lights yet, but I think the form factor of the L6 has them beat for the ability to keep it in a pocket, even if just for short periods, and the ability to hold the light steadily in the crook of your arm or between the shoulder and neck. It looks more menacing, so the pop...

    Form factor vs praticality

    I wind up with my Convoy L6 in my back pocket all the time. I don't use the tactical ring, so I can slide it in my pocket, with the head out, of course. It actually isn't very uncomfortable with loose jeans. That's pretty much just on nature walks, out in the woods, or showing off. Usually I...

    Multimeter

    Regardless of what meter you get next, I highly recommend getting a set of test leads like the one from the shack that comes with an assortment of leads that go on the end of your regular test leads. They have different ends with various clips, pins, and even a magnet. I can't tell you how often...

    Multimeter

    I got a nice one at radio shack a few years back for $35. It was cheaper in the store than it was online, and had pretty decent reviews. I think they are around fifty bucks now, maybe a little under. The # is 22-812. It can be linked to a computer for data logging, although I've never tried that...

    Is it OK to replace a flooded battery with an AGM battery in an older model car?

    AGM batteries can generally take more of a beating in off road situations, so it may be an advantage in the Jeep. As far as charging characteristics, I've never heard about any difference. AGM stands for absorbed glass mat, basically meaning that the acid/electrolyte is soaked up by a fiberglass...

    LED color discussion

    I was just thinking about researching this a couple nights ago! I always used red for hunting night crawlers; doesn't spook them as much. Green light is the only way to go to check on plants at night without interrupting their flowering cycle. Infra red light can be used on plants for a brief...
