    Question: is it still safe to use and charge this 18650 with a dented button top?

    Basically this panasonic 3400mAh battery had its + side dented when my flashlight hit the floor tailcap first. The battery still works, but i don't want to take chances with something as potent as this. Also, has anybody had issues with the TN12 2014 flashlight not working? The first one i got...

    need help with my cyclops thor x colossus

    need help with my cyclops thor x colossus

    almost a 3/4 of a year ago I accidentally yanked one of the red wires that was preventing access to the battery compartment from the business end and I've had no time to bother figuring out what went wrong until today. I got no amps or volt readings from both power switches, but have not tried...

    My 18650 battery doesn't self-discharge?

    As per title, i've had 3 ultrafire 3000mAh batteries lying unused for at least 1 month or so. WHen i charged them up recently, 2 of them quickly read at full on my charger, and a voltage test confirmed that. Could there be a dangerous problem with these 2 batteries in question? They both read at...

    finally all set for a Thor mod.... questions though

    Thanks fritzhid, i was just trying to pull it out but held back afraid that i'd ruin it. maybe i should use a pair of flat nosed pliers for that job. can't wait to mod it already!

    finally all set for a Thor mod.... questions though

    yeah i've opened it up and looked at all parts in the spotlight. i just do not want to accidentally destroy or render something useless, not being familiar with this. my main question now is if i should even take the prongs at the bulb out just by pulling it, because if that's the way it should...

    finally all set for a Thor mod.... questions though

    ok. i've decided to just remove the leads at the bulb but i'm not sure how to remove it. i'm thinking of reusing it for the H4 hid bulb. All the circuitry in the spotlight are definitely fine to leave as they are though right? having to remove and replace things would complicate things for a...

    OP Reflectors for Chinese 85W HID

    a spotlight is better off with an SMO reflector because they're mainly for throw. if you need all that evenness in the beam and maybe more flood it's best to go with an LED flashlight. OP's don't serve an HID well. the only reflectors i recall that have been used with this ebay HID are the sr90...

    how's everybody's experience with the blackshadow terminator?

    i don't even have a lux meter myself lol that's way better than mine then, estimate or not. i should be envious but i'm putting all my hopes into the replacement U3 haha. i didn't think it could do 4 hours overall though, what cells are you using? i'm waiting to get me some panasonic 3400mAh but...

    how's everybody's experience with the blackshadow terminator?

    hey bigmac, did you manage to obtain a figure for your lumen output? apparently they've been around since Nov 2011, but i wouldn't know too, having myself gotten into multiple LED lights only last may. wasn't a favorable first impression with that since the threads were scrapping pretty badly...
