    Want to turn this junk light into a boss, in memory of my friend

    UPDATE: Project complete, except for a little cleanup! Well, this took quite a while longer than I expected. When I began to get serious about the re-build, the first thing I discovered was that the tailcap was not, in fact, Z41 compatible. So a pre-fab switch kit was out of the question. I...

    Want to turn this junk light into a boss, in memory of my friend

    Maybe so. I'd love a mostly pre-fab solution, just because I want this to be solid. I've done electronics and a little bit of machining before, but this would be my first time building something like this. I'm probably going to go with your recommendation, since I've noticed that there are...

    Want to turn this junk light into a boss, in memory of my friend

    So I have this light. It's some junk no-name 6P/Z2 clone. I don't know who made it, or where it was bought from, only that it belonged to a 12-year-old young man, a dear friend of my family. Before he was tragically killed in an accident this past summer, he engraved his name on a flattened...

    Surefire E2D LED Defender (non-Ultra) upgrade?

    Hello all, I have a friend who uses an E2D Defender LED (the older, dual-output 200lm version) every day for work. It's a solid light for his needs, and he's got a bezel-up bottom-loading Kydex belt rig that really works for him. The issue, though, is that he uses it so much that he's spending...

    Foursevens: Research Poll- what do you want to see?

    - I love the Quarks' 0.8-4.2v ability, with bodies such that 1xAA, 2xAA, 1x14500, 1xCR123, 1x16350, 1x16650 are all possible with the same light. Would like to see 18650 support just because they're so prolific. - I won't buy anything cooler than 5000K ever again for a personal light. - The...

    a Man of Few Lights

    I've found I also tend to converge on a small handful of good lights that cover a specific set of uses. I wound up on a foursevens kick a number of years ago, and they're largely still doing what I want. So... EDC: foursevens Mini AA, with a 3.2V LiFePO4 cell for 2xAA output with a 1xAA body...

    Solid all-arounder for 2017?

    My son is getting to the age where he can both make use of and keep up with decent outdoor gear, and I'd like to make him a gift of a solid general-use flashlight. I have several lights that I'm pretty happy with, but they're primarily SureFire and Foursevens models made from '05-'09 that aren't...
