    Runtime Question

    Someone has been soliciting interest for 3.0V 14500s and says he can get them if enough people are interested. I guess my ideal situation would be to have the L1d-CE size with the option to run the much brighter "max" mode of the L2D-ce if needed. The head, I am told, is exactly the same as...

    Runtime Question

    Going off of the runtime information here and basing it off of the Ni-Mh battery: What kind of runtime reduction would I have with an L1D-CE if I used a 3.0v 14500 (humor me), rcr123 3.0V, or RCR2 3.0V? Assume all would be protected. Also, can you get an 18650 3.0V, and if so what would I be...

    Pet likes - the opposite of pet peeves

    People who thank soldiers and their families for their service, especially when you can tell that they have some notion of the hardships.

    Help me pick a Bike light!

    I have a Jetlight Phantom. It works great and customer service can't be beat.

    Need an EDC knife. Newbie here.

    I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but check out www.hideawayknife.com One of the great things about these knives is that you don't have to put the knife down if you need to use your hands. They have a custom fitted utility model for $70. I bought one recently and it is...

    I am really interested in your setup Lexina. Can you e-mail me the pics?

    Help! Need your expertise.

    I can take plenty of pictures with alkalines. I don't know exactly how many, but it is a far cry more than with my NiMh. I am going to be buying AW's new charger for some Lithium RCR123 batteries. It would probably be too much to ask that it be able to charge NiMh as well, huh? I guess my...

    Help! Need your expertise.

    I have a Canon A95 digital camera which takes 4 AA batteries. I am cuious as to whether or not I could use equivalent sized Lithium Ion rechargable batteries in it (14500 I think). Alternatively, maybe NiMh with slow discharge rate. I have seen the Sanyo Enelopes mentioned here and there...

    Best RCR123 3.6V on the market:

    A runtime on the P1D-CE with that battery would be great! I assume they can be charged in AW's new charger?

    Flashoholic in the news today - possible world record

    I think the word you are looking for is "improvment." I would not have mentioned it except that you asked. Having studied a couple of other languages, I can appreciate the amount of time and dedication it must have taken to learn English as well as you have.

    Any EMTs or Paramedics out there?

    I didn't used to wear glasses except when intubating or anything else where I saw an increased potential for exposure, but I recently purchased some that I wear on most calls now. I learned the hard way that you can't always predict things like that even if you are careful. About 2 mos ago...

    Any EMTs or Paramedics out there?

    I see your point and it is true that some departments only hire qualified paramedics (mine included until very recently), however I was referring to trying to get hired as an EMT-B, finishing probation and learning the fire craft, and then letting the dept. put you through Paramedic school. In...

    P1D CE + Thermography

    This is a particularly interesting thread to me because I am a Firefighter and have been lurking here in search of a small light to mount on my helmet. It would probably never run for more than 30 minutes at a time and rarely in any signifigant heat. Would it be foolish to try and use the...

    Any EMTs or Paramedics out there?

    I have to second what beebee said. I have been a Paramedic for 6 years now and I love it. I have worked for a Fire Dept. for the past 2 years and it is the only way to go. It is a whole different world compared with the private ambulance companies. Get your EMT-B, get involved with a...
