    Please Recommend a 4000K-4100K High-CRI *Throwy/Spot* Headlamp

    This is a thread I never expected to make. Back in the dark ages, I spent forever wishing manufacturers would realize what we all actually needed was a floody headlamp for working and reading. Now, for the first time ever, I need a throwy/spot headlamp. I've taken up night hiking in the...

    Does anyone know why this Aladdin Lamp (Kerosene) isn't burning right?

    Anyone know why this brand new Aladdin lamp isn't burning correctly? The fact that only the lower portion of the mantle is incandescing supposedly means the flame spreader is too high in the burner but it's pushed all the way down.

    I need help finding a new light painting flashlight

    I think you're misunderstanding what I want. I think you mistakenly believe I need a flashlight to illuminate an area I want to paint. That's not the case at all. I'm actually "painting" with the light coming out of the flashlight to make a picture. Here's an example...

    I need help finding a new light painting flashlight

    1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? Mail order or in person, doesn't matter. 2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! :-) I'd like to stay around $50 but I would go up to $90 if it really was demonstably better than anything I can...

    Has anyone opened a Coleman CPX 6 SLA battery?

    With Gander Mountain going out of business, I was able to buy a Coleman CPX 6 rechargeable SLA pack for $10. The battery has been sitting there long enough that the box is covered in dust so I'm not expecting the battery to work very well (not to mention the low capacity at best). My hope is to...

    Master thread for disasters and generators.

    Re: Honda Super Quiet EU2000i Generator On the pancake regulator's output, there's a proportioning valve to control the AFR of the engine (since the carb no longer does this). Try re-adjusting this valve following the procedure you used for initial setup.

    Has Peak LED Solutions gone under?

    I got a contact today, finally. He doesn't know why I hadn't gotten email but you guys were right about the vacation. So it's all good.

    Has Peak LED Solutions gone under?

    Wait, so ordering though the PeakLEDsolutions.net website isn't actually ordering through the company that makes the lights?

    Has Peak LED Solutions gone under?

    8 days ago, I ordered my wife a Peak Eiger via their website. The web page gave me a transaction ID and my PayPal account has been debited. I've received no order confirmation email, no shipping email, no backorder notice. Email to their server bounces. I called both their toll-free number and...

    Recommend a 1xAAA flashlight my wife can't kill

    That's the funny thing. I'm the one that pitches my keys onto the shelf from half way across the room!I figure she must be doing something like that but I'm not sure what. Generally, they get clipped to the key strap thing in her bag if they're not in her hand or in the car's ignition. So I...

    Recommend a 1xAAA flashlight my wife can't kill

    No, they're $50, but if it makes it 2 years, it's break-even compared to the cost of an E05.

    Recommend a 1xAAA flashlight my wife can't kill

    I think our E05s are 27 lumen. I also have a Microstream and it's way too long. Getting on close to 2x as long as an E05. What do you guys think about the Peak Eiger lights? They look like candidates with fully potted electronics.

    Recommend a 1xAAA flashlight my wife can't kill

    E01 is only half as bright and only $7 cheaper. Not sure I can sell her on that.

    Recommend a 1xAAA flashlight my wife can't kill

    My wife and I have carried Fenix E05s on our keychains for 5-ish years now. The E05 is the right size, weight, form factor, simplicity, and is a reasonable output. Here's the thing: I'm still on my first one. She's never had one last longer than 10 months. First thing to go is that she beats all...

    Holster for 6P W/ OR Tail shroud?

    Super old thread I'm bumping, but I really like that holster. However, I can't find any trace of this "CBLME" person. Can you check to see if you made a typo?
