    Bug Out Bag Light?

    This really is not so complicated. I’d get a decent headlamp like a Zebralight or Princeton Tec. For a handheld, just get a G2X or if AA is an absolute, something from Fenix or Eagletac. Just carry a spare or 2 of primaries, why on earth would you fool around rechargeables and solar panels...

    Surefire MODs

    Nitroz, is the XPH50 still the mod of choice for gen1 U2? What about for the gen2 U2? That Seoul SSC is horribly blue. last one I have question about is what to do for dual output E2L? Mine is the 60lumen, which I think is a Cree xre?

    Searching for Nitroz...

    I'm searching for Nitroz as I have some Surefires I'd like to mod, specifically a couple of U2s, and maybe an E2L.

    Surefire UM2 Ultra

    Mine is on the way! There are 450 left, no big rush. I suspect next year it will drop even further, or maybe Black Friday.

    Mag Lights

    I think most people here realize that the while perhaps not cutting edge, the durability and reliability of a Mag can be comforting. Now to be honest, I have only found that high reliability with the Magcharger and C/D cell lights, mostly due to the switch being so good. Minis with the rotary...

    Mag changed their incan bulb!

    Wow, these have already invaded my Wally Worlds already. Some older PR based still remain, but these are getting replaced fast. I'll be sure to squirrel a few away before it is too late.

    How many Lumens is my kpr139 putting out

    That's the thing, most are using this on 4 AA NiMH batteries, so the lumen amount is much higher, probably closer to 110 lumens or more with that much overdrive.

    Best Plastic 2C or 2D Host?

    What are you calling an acceptable reflector? I can't think of any lights with a metal reflector these days. If you are not looking to make a powerful hotwire, I've gotten good service from the new style Rayovac Industrial light. It has a faceted reflector to smooth the beam, which is...

    30-80 lumens AA incandescent flashlight?

    Umm...I think everybody forgot about THE classic for this category, Princeton Tec TEC 40. It's a 4 AA like the UK, but it's less expensive and uses PR bulbs. This opens up tons of possibilities. KPR139 on 4 eneloops is excellent, every bit as bright as a G2 and not much larger. For what a...

    Best LED handheld lantern for utility co?

    Re: Best lantern for electric utilty company? I hate to be a party pooper, but what you are looking for doesn't exist. Professional grade LED lanterns with swiveling heads are very few in number, I can only think of 4. One is the aforementioned Pelican 9410, another is the Streamlight E-Flood &...

    Don't sweat the small stuff, just screw the bezel on and go.

    Accessories for L2P

    Wow, since when did Solarforce offer foward clickies in type III anodizing? I thought they all were glossy type II ano.

    Well, pop the WE lamp in, see if it fits. You have to unscrew some retaining ring, then the reflector will pop out. Leave the retaining ring out, pop the WE LA in. If the bezel closes, then you've got it beat. Just get some RCR123 and away you go.

    Mount an M6 on Ar?

    Just to follow up, the operators I know, generally just use a G2L or 6PL, no tape switches, most think the cords get in the way, or don't trust them. Given that most bldgs have white or off-white walls, they find that simple P60L's are plenty bright, much more can blind the operator. Now...

    ThruNite Catapult Review (SST-50): RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, and more!

    Impressive light, but sadly not for me. I don't do 18650, so the limited voltage range makes this a non-starter for me. Perhaps in a later version, I'll buy one if it supports 4 CR123 primaries.
