    A Non-Flashaholic Gave me a Light

    We had a suggested limit of $10 for gifts to exchange at my office Christmas party, so I bought a 2 pack of crank lights, but took them back because my wife had already gone out and bought 2 sets of fancy hot chocolate & fancy flavoured coffee mixes. When the presents were eventually opened...

    Extreme Cold Effects on Flashlights

    Well, it was about -43 C (BITTERLY cold, either C or F scale!) with the wind-chill last night, and I was using both my Dorcy 41-4299 with NiCd pack and my Kel-Lite 4 D stubby with 8AA to 2D adaptor with 8 eneloops, yet both of them performed very well. I was carrying them in my duty coat...

    Formerly retired lights back in use?

    I had bought a Kel-Lite 4 D small head back in 1976, which was great for a long time, but was put aside for a long time. as the reflector and lens were worn out, then gave it to one of my sons for a few years. I decided to give him a Mag 3 C with a MagLED module and took back the K-L. I have...

    Born-again Kel-Lite 4D small head

    Same has been cut & re-threaded, and runs the 1331 bulb quite nicely with the 8AA to 2D adaptor. I will be using it this weekend and will see how it is for night duty use.

    Alkaline or Lithium for Stinger?

    If you have a local battery retailer, they MAY be able to build you a NiMH stick for you, plus sell you a charger hook and AC and / or DC cord. The local-buil sticks are usually cheaper with higher mAh rating than OEM and will still work in a current charger. However, there WERE li-ion...

    Tactical flashlights giving false sense of security?

    I agree with the following points: - when you saw the guy was staring at you the first time, you should have either nodded at him then returned your attention to your date, or nodded then looked down at his hands then turned back to your date. I ASSUME that she was better looking and less...

    POLICE: How many lights do you carry on-duty?

    I got my Kel-Lite 4 D (now nicknamed Stubby!) back from the machine shop, and found a 44 mm diameter acrylic watch crystal to use as a lens at the local jewelry store. It will be carried in my jacket pocket as a back-up light. It is quite impressive light output, given its size. Hopefully I...

    POLICE: How many lights do you carry on-duty?

    From my last list, the only change is: - Dorcy 41-4299: now has a borofloat lens. I am getting used to the reverse clicky switch. I loaned it out last weekend; the user thought it was bright, but too long (he uses a Streamlight Stinger - yet, he was recently promoted!; - Kel Lite 4 D small...

    Any other dielectric grease vs Nyogel 760G - ?

    I bought an 85 g tube of Permatex 22064 (or 22058) dielectric silicone grease from a local auto parts jobber - under $10 Canadian, with taxes, and easy to find.

    600 Lumen Tigerlight LED upgrade

    I am running a TLE-300M in a Mag 2 D with 2 x 18650 cells. It has been sitting in my carrying case for a few weeks now, and only turned on briefly lately for testing against other lights. I found that when I did have it with me for duty carry, it lasted not quite 2 shifts of 18:00 - 04:00 of...
