    Off duty /EDC 18650 light

    So I had a EagleTac, PD2 I think for years that just recently crapped out. I’m looking for something with a slim head / body that runs a single 18650 cell, is as high lumen as possible, and high lux / tight spot. Basically something pocket sized that will focus all of its light on somebodies...

    18650's Care and Maintenance

    whats the typical resistance for an unprotected 3500 mah 18650 LG battery and how close do they need to be to each other to be "matched"?

    fix my EagleTac MX 23L3C or buy a new coke can light?

    I've always kept a Surefire 6P sized light that takes 18650 rechargables in an open top-bezel up holster on the front of my belt, just right of my buckle. Currently it's a 2800 lumen Nitecore TM03. Before that it was a Nitecore SRT7. I dropped that thing repeatedly and the only harm it suffered...

    Lanyards are cool and all but they just don't work when you are using a light like this in a police role. I usually need to be able to free my hands up quickly and having a big light hanging off my wrist just wont work. Plus, frequently I will only be holding the light for a minute or two. I...

    All of these theads have lights with a 10th of the output that I'm looking for. I've always been willing to drop a few hundred bucks every year or so to stay on top of flashlight technology. I'll wait a month or two to see what Vinh has in store for the X80 and then post in the "recommend a...

    I didn't see any Makkhoff's that suited my needs? Any suggestions?

    So the acebeam that Vinh is selling on his site is the x45 which he sells for $350 and with his mods it will put out 25,000 lumens and has an impressive 775 meters of throw over the factory 16,500 lumens 583 meters for $240. I was thinking about waiting for the new Acebeam x80 since its going...

    I'm glad that somebody knows what I want, because I certainly don't!:grin2: Now how do I get that in a modern high performance light? I'm willing to pay. If I buy a particular light, can I pay one of the modders on here to pot it?

    I need something thats multi-thousand lumens that will light up an entire field, and or blind the crap out of somebody who intends to fight / run etc. Apparently I also need it to be bomb proof. Something that won't die if its dropped. It seems like the soldering on all of these is the weak part.

    Does malkhoff offer something that can offer the performance I'm looking for? I know that they have the durability.

    I was originally looking at the noctigon m43 when I found the Acebeam X4 and the Imalent DT70 and realized that they're twice as powerful as the noctigon m43, which is crazy, considering that the Eagle Tac MX 25 L3C is like 10 tines brighter than anything that any other cop carries at work. My...

    fix my EagleTac MX 23L3C or buy a new coke can light?

    I've been using two flashlight styles as a Police Officer for a few years now. It seems like I always have a single 18650 M6 style light on the front of my belt, and then a 3 or 4 18650 cell coke can style light in the cup holder of my vehicle and in my back pocket when I exit. I've been...

    Red hog hunting spotlight / weapon mounted light

    I'm hunting hogs at night and I'm looking for the brightest red light thats currently available. Ive seen the 66LRX red aspherical led light from sniper hog lights for $145 and that looks pretty good. I like the fact that its adjustable for close range throw and a wide beam that wont spook...

    broker lens Nitecore SR-7 Avenger

    there used to be an online vendor that sold lenses in varying diameters and thicknesses. If somebody can post the url to that I can take this lens out and measure it with a pair of calipers.

    broker lens Nitecore SR-7 Avenger

    I sent them an email but I didn't receive any response from them. I've dealt with enough of these foreign flashlight companies that I've learned that often times its easier to just do stuff like this myself...
