    Streamlight Standard LITEBOX

    It doesn't unscrew. (at least mine doesn't) just pull the black ring forward and it will reveal the lamp assembly then from the back of the lamp you can unscrew the bulb assembly and replace the bulb. Unless you have a sealed lamp then you would just replace the whole lamp. I think there are...

    ARC AAA LE dims near magnet?

    The same magnet has the same effect on my krill light as well, similar circuit? The magnet in question is from an old Mac computer hard drive, the magnet quite small but strong, about 1/16 of an inch thick and ¾ of an inch square. I have no idea what material/type magnet this is but it is...

    ARC AAA LE dims near magnet?

    It doesn’t get quite that dim, and I have no idea about how it would effect battery life but I suppose it is possible that it may work as sort of dimmer switch?

    Mag-Lites and reliability / durability

    IMO Maglights are GOOD RELIABLE lights, not the best but definitely the upper end of if not the top end of “homeowner” or “department store” lights. After reading this forum for months and finally becoming a member we need to remember we are a bit eccentric when it comes to flashlights. To the...

    Care of ni cad Batteries?

    Thanks for the link Battery Guy, I know I should use my lights more often but if I don’t I will discharge them until dim then give them a full recharge. Hopefully this will keep them usable for years to come. I do own an older Norelco razor that mom bought me about 22 years ago never took...

    Care of ni cad Batteries?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I guess the best thing to do is to use my flashlights more often, I just don’t want an expensive set of cells going bad. I will use them until they start getting dim then I will give them a full recharge, then USE THEM MORE!

    Care of ni cad Batteries?

    Rechargeables that spend more time sitting around then getting used i.e. unused for a month. Should they be drained until just dim then recharged, charged monthly, or? Specific lights SF 9N, SL 35, SL Ultrastinger, all have 11 hour slow charger. If there is already a thread on this topic please...
