    Maglite Mag-Tac - Not impressed...

    Neither the 16340 or 18650 are "standard" battery sizes. Many of us use protected cells, and those come in all sorts of lengths, and some of our flashlights will work with one sort of 18650 while another 18650 won't fit. The CR123A is quite a standard cell that's easily available. When have you...

    Best Warranty/Best Customer Service

    I've had good experiences with Mag. One of the domes on one of my LED upgrade modules cracked. They told me that they didn't have parts, but they took my broken one, and the one week later, they sent me a new LED module for free. I really appreciated this. My Maglites themselves have never...

    Sub-Lumen "Moonlight" Mode Poll

    Although none of my current torches have it, I really like sub-lumen mode. Back when I used to own an SC600, I used to use moonlight mode very often. What I want though is a torch that goes to moonlight mode immediately and simply. With the SC600, I blasted my eyes out with the high mode by...

    NITECORE TM26 QUADRAY (4 x XM-L U2 | 1-4x18650 / 2-8xR/CR123) Review

    The eyes perceives light intensity logarithmically, so it really isn't that much different. Your eyes will not see it as twice as bright.

    Problem with my Sc600

    I've also found it difficult to get a response from them. I wonder if there is a better way to contact them that would get their attention. I haven't seen my flashlight for two months.

    Zebralight SC600 & SC600W discussion part 2

    Mine died one day randomly. It never turned back on. I used only Redilast 3100mAh cells charged in a Pila charger that were dedicated to it. It will be two months in a few days since I have last seen it.

    toughen up chinese flashlights!

    As much as I like these new lights, one of the gripes I have about a lot of modern products is reliability and durability. My Zebralight SC600 is at Zebralight because it somehow quit working for no apparent reason. Also, to echo comments about the hard anodizing, the Zebralight SC600 and...

    Strange ZebraLight SC600W failure

    This is what happened to my SC600 which was bought a few months ago. I had to send it in for repair. I haven't received it back yet though. Apparently some of them don't take falls particularly well.

    Nitecore "Tiny Monster" TM11 (4x18650, 3xXM-L) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO +

    Re: Nitecore "Tiny Monster" TM11 (4x18650, 3xXM-L) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO That draw is quite low, and is quite a good thing. We don't need to worry so much about parasitic drain when the torch is locked out.

    Point taken. All the things you learn every day!

    Current brightest "real world" 18650 light? Needed for specific job.

    I'm happy with my TM11. While the SC600 is quite bright, it only stays in turbo for 5 minutes and the runtime is limited at that brightness. It's quite good though for just stashing away in your pocket when you are done. It's quite small. The TM11 gives runtime and brightness in a small package...

    Re: Nitecore "Tiny Monster" TM11 (4x18650, 3xXM-L) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO You may be able to take apart a photo filter and use the glass in the TM11. Try a few sizes.

    Greatly improve your TM11's negative contact

    In many applications, the leaf springs used in the TM11 offer less electrical resistance than the coil springs. I personally prefer the protected cells in the TM11. You really would not want any of the cells to get reverse-charged by the other cells. Due to the way the batteries are connected...

    I'm quite happy with my Redilast 3100mAh cells.
