    Anyone modding the old Novatac 120 lights?

    Hi all, I found my old Novatac the other day, after several moves. It's the SPA Defense series 120. I'd like to find someone to put in a better led, and to buy a regular, non-remote tailcap. Can you recommend someone, who would have the parts? Thanks. Located in Texas,USA.

    *new* Fenix HL50 headlamp

    A pity they won't use LiFePO4 chemistry. They may leak, like any other battery, but they do not KB.

    Fenix PD35 ,850 Lm,powerful,compact 18650 flashlight-REVIEW

    I just picked up a PD35 at REI this evening as I had a discount plus my dividend there. That brought it down to almost half off retail, which was nice. I was surprised to like this light as much as I did. I had been wanting a Olight S10, and got to try several different Fenix and Nitecore...

    RAW Al questions

    I'm new to Lummi products, and was recently gifted with a RAW Al 100/200. I would like to know what diameter glow-ring I need to fit the outside2 grooves on the head? I want to improve my grip on the head when twisting to activate it. I'd also like to know if it is possible to get a 100/20...

    Old style Novatac with new circuit

    I got a lightly used 85T (31xxx) and it is pretty well flawless as far as I can tell. Knurling is well done, black color is even, etching is tidy though not very bright. LED is centered, reflector unmarred, and it has a spring on both ends (plus the big coil spring the battery rides in). I...

    NovaTac 120E with RPM SS Bezel (picture heavy)

    Although the polycarbonate lens in my 85t was in fine condition, I just ordered and received a UCL from Lighthound. I figure I will install the UCL and if I ever break it, I have the polycarbonate one to replace it with. I am more likely to scratch the poly lens I believe, than break the...

    SureFire Z48 tailcap clicky + LF IMR-M3T = is it safe?

    Question folks: I've been out of circ on lights for a bit. I have an old 6P that I want to Malkoff and to put a z48/z59 type tailcap on. I only run primaries in this light, so other than a KB from mismatched cells, will a Solarforce tailcap work long and as well as a real Surefire?

    Surefire LX2 Pics, Beamshots & Info

    I'd like to wait until the LX1 comes out, and see how it specs out. I am thinking of getting an E1b to replace my old style L2, but might opt for the LX1 instead.

    Best Headlamp for work?

    Looking for suggestions for a headlamp, possibly incan, that would serve my husband well in his job. He's a phone tech and doing outside work, he is 'in' dark junction boxes, in broad daylight, so I fear that an LED will wash out in the ambient light. Any recommendations?
