    Recommendation for Solar Panel to charge my Surefire Beast II HID

    I wish it were that easy... I have not had overly great success via email or phone conversation with Surefire about the Beast II. It's like no one knows anything about it... I usually get, "Well we will have to look into this and get back with you" and never do. I wish I could speak to someone...

    Recommendation for Solar Panel to charge my Surefire Beast II HID

    Yes the charger has AC and DC input (12V) however there is no information in the manual about battery specs

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    Here's a picture of it. The light usually lasts close to 2 hours at it's highest setting. I would like to be able to charge it at least once during the day relatively quickly... and possibly recharge it again at night from a battery source of some type... not sure what battery requirements I...

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    I believe the light was rated as a 35W HID. So whenever I get the meter and measure my requirements, The watt rating on meter will tell me how big of a panel to get, and if I get bigger, it will just charge it faster? Does the fact the measurements will be done with 120 AC vs the 12V DC of the...

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    Thank you very much! My case comes with a 12V cigarette lighter adapter, and a lot of the panels I've looked at have female 12V adaptors so it should work. I really appreciate the very simplified answer as it's much easier for a lay person like myself to understand. So let me see if I get this...

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    ama230 The kill-a-watt idea is is a great one! Also Brunton has a great product and all of their products i have owned have never had any problems. They use the amorphous panel as well as a mix of the CiS thin film panels(these have a higher efficiency than amorphous and have the same...

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    Recommendation for portable Solar Panel

    I posted this in HID section but haven't gotten much response so I thought I would see if someone here could help me, granted I'm not sure which section this post would be best placed. In a nut shell, I'm wanting to get some portable solar panels for a go bag. I figured I'd try to get...

    Recommendation for Solar Panel to charge my Surefire Beast II HID

    Well there is the question? Will it? I haven't a clue... Just dont want to spend hundreds of $ on something that wont work. I was wanting a solar panel to put in my go bag, and figured I'd try to get something big enough to charge my laptop or anything else I might need. The Beast is the biggest...

    Recommendation for Solar Panel to charge my Surefire Beast II HID

    I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but since my goal is to have something capable of charging my Beast II HID, I thought I would ask here. I will preference that I dont have any electrical experience, so please forgive my ignorance in terms of volt, watt, mA, etc... I have been...

    A burgler 'pants soiling' light

    Great idea! For the $ it's hard to beat that many lumens! I'm a big HID fan. If you need to turn night into day, that's what you need! I can take mine outside and fire it up, no where to hide from it. I live at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac, there have been a couple times I thought I saw...

    E2D LED / LX2 / E1B - Which for everyday carry?

    I appreciate all the advice, thanks! Definitely has given me some things to think about. It pretty much sounds like I'm going to have to buy more than one of the lights depending on situation / clothing. The E1B would probably give me the most flexibility to start with, casual or formal...
