    What's better than an E1L, in same class?

    Wow, I didn't even realize the E1L had changed much since I bought this one. Mine is an E1L Outdoorsman with a tiny number that looks to my old eyes like A62657 - definitely a square beam Luxeon, but very white, probably about 4 years old. Like I said, my prior edc for work was an Arc LSH...

    What's better than an E1L, in same class?

    Hey guys - I have been away from here a long time. Wow, this forum keeps getting better, it's amazing how it's grown since I last visited. I started researching small LED lights for friend who liked my E1L, and it got me to wondering what I have been missing here. So, I'll start by getting up...

    Paklight at 9voltlight.com

    Thanks... I missed it completely. I generally turn my nose up at something like this myself, but at $13 a pop, they are pretty cool. I'm thinking it needs a quick shrink wrap with hair dryer (carefully) over the battery, and I'm getting 5 or 6 just to have in gloveboxes and bedside table, etc...

    Paklight at 9voltlight.com

    Sorry if this has been covered ad nauseum. I haven't been around much lately, so I don't know if it has and the search function is down of course. What the heck... maybe some noobs or people missed this anyway. Check out the paklight at www.9voltlight.com. It is an ultra tiny double led...

    Electroluminescent devices (coatings) and circuits

    Well, it took me long enough, but I finally got som etime to read this guy's instructions for him to try to help him get started. From what I can tell, this kit, a Durel EL lamp driver kit includes a thin sheet EL lamp and an inverter board kit on which you can experiment with various...

    Electroluminescent devices (coatings) and circuits

    Thank you so much for the early responses guys... I think I might finally have time today to completely read the directions and post my questions. I had some emergency work this week that prevented me from getting on this.

    Electroluminescent devices (coatings) and circuits

    I'm trying to help out a friend who is beginning to experiment with electroluminescent devices, and I am just wondering if there is anyone here who is particularly focused on these, who might be willing to help with some specific questions in the next day or two. If so, please give me a nod...

    where to start with luxeon experiments?

    Does anybody have any suggestions on where to start with my first Luxeon experiments? I have a couple emitters, and no documentation what-so-ever. I'm not ready to mod a torch with them yet, I just want to play with them, wire them up, and experiment them. I need to figure out the real...

    email respone from Maglite regarding LED lights

    Re: email respone from Maglite regarding LED light I'm sure M@g's objection to putting out an LED light has to do with two things: 1 - that they specialize in mass market products at cheap prices and that they aren't really sure they want to delve into new territory , and 2 - getting into LEDs...

    Survival Checklist -- Flashlights(check)

    Yep, the thread was intended to list necessary flashlights for a survival checklist, but the lack of any knives on any list was just too much for me! I'm always off topic, sorry guys.

    Survival Checklist -- Flashlights(check)

    Do my eyes deceive me, or does the checklist mentioned on the first page, and every post thereafter lack one very important word? Duh... Hello!? KNIFE? Sorry guys, but FLASHLIGHTS would be the second category on my own checklist, right after KNIVES. Of course, my knife list would include at...

    Getting an ARC LS, have some questions

    Bigred - you can't go wrong with them. Let your budget be your guide. Everybody keeps mentioning seconds, but according to the webite, you don;t know which model you will get when ordering seconds. My LSL is a great light, and cost less than half what my LSH-P did. As white as the LSH-P is...

    my dream flash light

    Raggie: No offense, man, I just want to tell you something, and I don't want to embarrass you or get too personal, but... maybe you are just waxing poetic, but the way you say that this is your dream light makes me think maybe you can't really afford it right now. It makes me think of times...

    What does 'tactical' light mean?

    Re: What does \'tactical\' light mean? Yep, good discussion. And you guys are, to a man, alright. Sorry I ducked out for a few days after my "cultural theory rant" on meaning, but I do want to add at this point since someone already suggested as much, that this group would make an interesting...
