The first five listings are all sold, so thank you to the purchasers, and I hope you enjoy your lights. Once again, everyone on CPF has been a pleasure to deal with, and I also...

    Sold/Expired FS: Noctigon, Emisar, BLF, more

    Hello, all. I'm back with some more lights to sell, this time all under $60. I like supporting innovation from folks like Hank Wang, Toykeeper, and amateur enthusiasts, so I tend to buy multiple copies of everything released. I feel good about this, but I do not feel good about the lights then...

    im a backwards tint snob

    Good point, Chillinn. It is easy to speak too loosely about tint. Not to sound pedantic, but tint and color temperature are two different qualities of light. Color temperature measures the appearance of light ALONG the so-called Black Body Locus (BBL). When a "black body" (say a piece of...

    Sold/Expired SOLD. Sony ICF-2010 Classic Multi-band Radio

    I recently discovered that the Sony ICF-2010 multi-band radio is still prized by DX'ers, and I would like to find a good home for mine. Since I have had a couple dozen happy flashlight transactions on CPF, I thought I would start here to see if there is any interest. I bought my ICF-2010 new...

    Sky Lumen Nguyen Pre-Order & Serial Reserve

    The SLN, as it stands, is austerely beautiful, and all business. There is no extraneous machining, not even knurling. Jony Ive would love it. The twisty tailcap is intended to be even more rugged than the clicky, so it seems that should be reflected in the design aesthetic. But, in the end, I...

    Sky Lumen Nguyen Pre-Order & Serial Reserve

    I hope all you other guys get your SLN's soon: I'm very interested to read everyone's comments. By the way, I'll add two of my own here, in case they might be helpful. First, as I received it, the output on my light (triple SST 20) stepped down very quickly from level 100 and even level 33...

    Sky Lumen Nguyen Pre-Order & Serial Reserve

    No, dotCPF, I went with a triple SST 20, which you might consider either "meh" or "sane," depending on your perspective. I'm probably in a minority, but I think of the SLN as a super rugged utility light, in the vein of Malkoff or Elzetta, or even McGizmo. For absolute maximum lumens or candela...

    Sky Lumen Nguyen Pre-Order & Serial Reserve

    SLN #10 has arrived, and it is beautifully massive and massively beautiful. Machining, anodization, and assembly are all impeccable, and it was packaged as if it was a Faberge egg. The holster is also very nice, if very tight. The Duv of the SST 20 4000K emitters is a little above BBL on lower...

    Sold/Expired ALL SOLD: Extensive assortment of older classic flashlights

    Re: WTS: small copper lights added All lights sold, except for the poor Javelot, so I just lowered the price. $50 for 1000 meters of throw = a nickle per meter, if my math is correct.;) Thank you, guys. Once again, every one of you buyers has been a pleasure to deal with, and I hope you will...

    Sold/Expired ALL SOLD: Extensive assortment of older classic flashlights

    Re: WTS: small copper lights added Hi, all. I can't seem to update the title of my thread, so I want to let you know that I just added a couple of Malkoff's, and a couple of Zebralights to post #1. Chuck
