    What is happening with Novatac ?

    Yes, I bought one. It doesn't work. Exactly the same symptoms as my 120P which ceased working a year ago - no reply from Novatac. It's a bore sending it back from the UK - anybody got ideas? Symptoms: Flashes randomly when replacing battery cap. Sometimes works in momentary mode. If you hold it...

    Ra Clicky Part 5

    And on this topic... Is the button feel 'hard' or 'soft'? One big difference between my U60 and my Novatac 120P is that the Novatac button is much easier to press. I'd prefer this as I don't plan to take the light down to 66 feet (which is presumably the reason for the choice of a 'hard' button...

    Which Li-ion 123's fit the Nitecore Extreme?

    So far the only problem I have had is with Battery Station Li-ions. They fit OK but on a user -> max transition (i.e. tightening when on in user mode) the light goes out. I think it may be a problem with the shape of the +ve contact on the battery.

    Ugh. Surefire E1Bs' beam is terrible.... any reflector mods?

    ...indeed it does and it is. Also fits HDS / Novatac lights. A useful accessory.

    Ra Twisty SN Registry!

    OK, I'll tell you. I ordered one from BS in the new year, and lost the printout of the order and the confirmatory email due to senior moments. BS couldn't locate the order as they wanted the date, which I didn't have. So I waited a couple of weeks and ordered another one, thinking that the first...

    Ra Twisty SN Registry!

    Frank Maddix..........85Tr.......#0208 Yes, I have two. Why? Don't ask. However I like the SN #208 - it reminds me of Radio Luxembourg, where I first heard The Beatles.

    Ra Twisty

    Dead_Nuts, discoverEDC: Thank you, I have now received my Tr-70, and it's brilliant. However, having convinced myself that my first order had gone astray, I ordered another one... so now I'll have 2. Hope the second one is an 85. Here's another interesting thing: The Surefire diffuser (F04?)...

    Ra Twisty

    I'm glad you got your light - but what does this say about the way BS sequence their orders? Still waiting for mine after 4 months!

    Any HDS Twisty News?

    Great! So as I'm 100 miles west of you mine should arrive about 2 hours later (allowing for traffic on the M4)...

    Fenix Store - fantastic deal

    The customs thing isn't quite a lottery. Every order I have had from Photon has attracted a charge - maybe because they're honest God-fearing folk, whereas others (I won't name them) put a lower value on the customs form.
