    Eternalight Elite Magnet

    Don't laugh. Last summer, I wanted the magnet off of whatever model I have. I stuck it on the air conditioning unit outside that had been baking the sun all day. After about 15 minutes, enough heat had transferred through the magnet to soften the adhesive. I slowly peeled the flashlight off and...

    Charger advice, Please

    I purchased an entry level digital camera this week. I plan to run it on NiMH AA batteries. I need charger advice. I expect to be charging AA batteries only. I have narrowed my choices to the MAHA C204F, ALLTEK AT-1268 PRO and the Quest Q2. The prices are close for all three. They all seem...

    UKE 2AAA Mini hat clip

    I have both a UK 2AAA and an PT Attitude. The clip does fit the Attitude. It is not as "tight" on the Attitude and the Attitude does not have the ridges that the UK does so it is not as secure.

    tailswitch for AA mini-mag

    For what it is worth, the Streamlight Jr tailcap switch will fit a AA Mini-Mag. I do not know where to buy just the Streamlight Jr switch.

    Want to buy/Split some Glow Sheet or Powder

    Has anyone directly compared the Nichia product with the Extremeglow product? There is a big difference between $100.00 for 100g and $15.00 for 75g. Is the Nichia really that much better?

    Brinkmann: Long Life VS. Rebel

    I have both. I feel that the Long Life is more compact and probably more durable. My Rebel broke already. I had left it sitting lens down on my desk. I came home from work one day and the switch assembly had broken. The threads were still in the body but the entire "silver" part had popped off...

    Cheap photons/ Anybody ever buy from Bayou Lafourche knifeworks?

    They have a good reputation on Bladefourms.com. Based on that I placed a $300.00+ order on the night of September 24. (The order included 10 assorted Photon II's. They give a 5% discount if you order five or more of the same color Photon's.) They shipped the entire order early the next day via...

    princeton tec 40

    I received a Tec 40 last week. It comes with a halogen bulb which is bright. My initial impression is that it is slightly brighter and whiter than the UK 4AA that I received at the same time. I have since put lithium AA's in the UK 4AA and they are close to the same now. The Tec 40 has a...

    *Who has the lowest prices on Photon III?*

    This is the best price I have found so far. There is a discount if you buy two or more. http://64.49.193.154/subcatmfgprod.asp?0=361&1=413&2=-1

    DoubleBarrel Key Ring Light

    They seem to be unsure about the battery size. The written description says AAA. However, if you look closely at the picture of the package, it shows 2 AAAA in the bottom right corner.

    Ledcorp's 2 LED PR bulb or make my own?

    Re: Ledcorp\'s 2 LED PR bulb or make my own? Here is another link on the mechanics of the conversion. I followed this one to make a single white led for three cells (4.5V) with a 33 ohm resistor. I plan to make a three led version soon. http://home.mho.net/jedmartin/ledlamp.htm

    who stocks carley lamps?

    I sent Carley an email about two weeks ago. They responded that they were in their annual two week shut-down. They are to be back open on July 16. I hope that they will respond to me concering minimum orders and pricing.

    ASP vs Photon

    I have an ASP Navigator (red LED) and two Photon II's (white and yellow). I like that the ASP has a clip that makes it easy to remove. However, it is much larger than the Photons and mine has not been as durable. The ASP I have is coming apart at the seam. I've had it almost a year and only paid...

    Rayovac 123`s outperform Ultra`s & E-2`s

    The Energizer 123's I have are marked "MADE IN U.S.A." on the batteries. The Rayovac's I have (NOT Ultra's) are marked "Made in Japan".

    Exploded view of MagLite D-cell ?

    The link is working fine for me. If you are still having problems, do a search for Maglite.com and just look there. It is found in "specifications".
