    AccuEvolution D Cells quality gone!

    I lost a long post, but the long and short of it: My previous test was flawed - rotating the battery in the holder makes a significant voltage difference; I'll be retesting with a dose of DeoxIT and the rotation. As far as voltage drop, despite the Cambion...

    AccuEvolution D Cells quality gone!

    I bought four AccuEvolution D LSD's a month or so ago, and charged them on my Maha-808M immediately after. My CBA III, set for a 10A discharge rate, reports the cell almost immediately drops to 1.03V, and only discharged 7.18AH until the 0.9V cutoff voltage was reached. Needless to say, I'm...

    Best CFLs? (to replace regular lightbulbs)

    Personally, I use 5000K color temperature bulbs. My cheap hardware store Feits actually work fairly well, which surprised me. Pretty much instant on after the first couple times you use them. Neptun appears to make very good CFL's (including their dimmables), instant on (even dimmed, for the...

    Does all bulbs work with dimmable switches?

    I'm currently testing dimmable CFL's to replace a bunch of R30/PAR30 halogens. The Global Consumer Products ("Overdrive") Dimmable 5000K 15W/65Wequiv R30 A) sticks out beyond the can, B) advertises only 43 lumens/watt, C) takes a little while to warm up, D) doesn't do a cold start to minimum...

    Wish List for Fenix L1D CE

    +1 - though I'd note you could digitally control levels via a physical switch, too, if you had a few input lines. I don't want to have to cycle - I'll accept it, but I want to set the light and use the light, and I'll change the light when I want it changed, and not if I don't. Since they...

    Maha MH-C808M Battery Charger

    I am extremely happy with my Maha 808M - I was able to charge 8 D cells, 16 C cells, and about 12 AA's and AAA's during a workday (mostly partial charges), simply by loading it up with D's at full output, replacing the D's with C's as they were done (one slot at a time), and - as I wanted to...

    Nuwai ALX-233C

    I see no flicker on the ALX-233C or my ALX-654C. OTOH, after disassembling and reassembling the head - including prying the star out, only to find it attached to another star-shaped piece of material (which I did not attempt to remove), and reassembling, it was somewhat flaky after impacts...

    Ordered a Pentalux from Elektrolumens

    Hmmm... I'd strongly suggest feeding it something better than AA's or sub-C's - there are some nice 5500 and 6000mAh NiMH C cells available, and quite acceptable 3500 to 4000's.

    Recommend LONGest running >10 lumen light

    Pure guess for a simple replacement bulb, long-life, useful option: 6D Mag with an EverLED. Also: the Tektite 3D (and other) dive lights.

    Streamlight.4AA.ProPo.Lux w|DURACELL PowerPix

    If you're getting different readings when the batteries are at rest, then I think you need a new meter. Depending on how much you want to spend, a Fluke is typically excellent.

    Brightest, Drop In MiniMag Mod?

    I just ordered a NG500 U-bin for myself (I've used an old TLE-5 for years now) - have you called Wayne to ask him about timelines and costs for 25 samples from him? Talking on the phone might help out there, and I can see them as excellent gifts for good clients.

    She sells C-cells by the Surefire...

    I like C lights - they're handy. The equivalent light to the Advancemark is: http://www.amondotech.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=937. I also just got my Pentalux 4-C - it's an amazing light, really. Not quite as handy as the ALX-654C in the holster, but massive flood brightness.
