    Polarion Battery

    I just bought a battery from Polarion Korea (and a bulb) for my ph50. The battery was $220 and the bulb was $160 U.S. both are with very fast shipping included. The guy at Polarion Korea lowered the listed cost on the package so I didn't have to pay any import duty costs. The battery lasted...

    Polarion PH-50 Main Thread (Part 2)

    Hi...I see there's a polarion battery thread, so I guess I should have posted there. Polarion Korea sells new packs for $220 U.S. including very fast shipping. I asked them if they rebuild packs, but they don't. I contacted Ken Good but didn't get a response. I also contacted Lights & Knives in...

    Polarion PH-50 Main Thread (Part 2)

    Sorry to kick an old thread. The battery in my PH50 isn't charging, so does anyone know of someone who is rebuilding Polarion packs? I remember reading a name, but I can't find it now... I've contacted Polarion Korea ($220) and tried Ken Good, both here and in his Night Reaper site (waiting...)...

    Polarion Throw

    I think he wants more spot and less spill...wouldn't the diffuser do the opposite?

    Polarion Throw

    Fwiw, I was using my Ph50 @ work last night, and it lit-up the top 10 floors of a 20 floor apartment building that was about 500m away. Just wondering, does anyone know if an extension tube (basically a hollow tube) mounted to the end of the light would reduce spil?

    Polarion Throw

    I have a PH50 which I'm always using at work. It's pretty beat-up, but it still throws 500m (550yd) quite easily. How far away are you trying to illuminate?

    Firefighters...LED throwers and smoke

    Hi to everyone, and Happy New Year! Has anyone out there ever tested a dedicated LED thrower (lens-based or reflector based) in heavy fire/smoke conditions? I'm just wondering if the tight beam and minimal spill would reach farther under the smoke than a conventional LED or incan? (that is, if...

    POLARION WATER DAMAGE

    I just replaced the bulb and reflector on my PH50. Use a rubber strap wrench and turn the head counter clockwise (lefty loosey). Once you loosen the head, be careful how you lift the head off the body of the light, as the reflector easily slips out from inside the head. It's probably best to...

    Canadian law prohibits surefire parts?!

    Both my M6s were shipped up from the U.S. using their regular parcel post (not UPS, etc). Both lights took 3 weeks (15 business days) to arrive. My Seraph P7 head took 2.5 weeks to arrive. All were charged pst/gst/handling fee, but no duty taxes. Given the time of year, I would expect your...

    First Class Mail International to Canada

    I've had a lot of stuff shipped up from the U.S., and standard first class package envelopes (with bubble wrap inside), can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks. I just had one delivered last Wednesday which was shipped out of the U.S. on Nov 21. If you're looking for delivery before Christmas, I'd...

    Best Lights For A Firefighter

    C-Beam Here's a couple of pics with my C3 mounted to the side of my 1044. I hope this works??!! Mount can be slightly moved/bent to adjust where the C3's hot spot needs to be. Sheet steel mount heated and hammered around C3 body. Sorry about the blurry pic...phone-cam

    Best Lights For A Firefighter

    C-Beam, I'll try to post, but I'm new to the forum and not quite sure how to post pics. Or if you like I'll try to email the pics to you. Please be patient.

    I searc a headlight/flashlight combinaison for use in fire and search and rescue ops.

    Special-K, it might help us if you let us know what kind of run time you need before you have a chance to change batteries. There's lots of great lights available, but you have to think of logistics (when can you change batteries at the scene?). Personally, I use a Surefire C-3 mounted on my...

    Best Lights For A Firefighter

    I've been using a surefire c3 HOLA with a flip down red filter on my Cairns 1010. I fabricated a mount so it attaches to the faceshield mounting screws. I tried rim mounts, but they get banged off too much. I've been using my set-up for over 10 years with no problems (we run 3500 calls/year)...
