    Anyway to upgrade a Nitecore D10 to NW or warm LED?

    .... without soldering. The light will be as good as dead if i do that :grin2: My EDC recently broke and I am really used to NW LEDs. Rummaged though all my lights and decided to temporarily use the D10, but am really hoping the light can be upgraded to a warmer tint and with more lumens. Even...

    As per title, do help. It stopped lighting up. I cleaned up everything, popped in a few fresh batteries just to make sure. A few days later which was last night, I tried again. This time, somehow I loosened the head by about 1cm off the body and gently depressed the tail switch, it lit up. A...

    Nitecore SENS

    Long story short. I tried to fit a gift into a budget and bought the Nitecore SENS AA. From the time when it was introduced, I had always never for once thought of owning such a light. Auto Dimming Technology (ADT for short) sounded full of crap to me. So today I collected my SENS which was to...

    Need a quality single AAA size flashlight with a built in laser pointer.

    Flashlight is preferred to be smallish, similar like preon, and doubles as my D25A backup. Thanks!

    Something weird happened today

    I have always been a lover of smallish sized pocket EDCs. Wee being my smallest, and even D10 took a back seat as being too big. Today, I had to show a client a shop which I did not have key access to, hence had to peep in through its glass door, most of it blocked by solid metal shutters. I...

    Almost burnt down my house

    I was thinking my ITP A3's contact was quite dirty and sprayed some contact cleaner into it to clean it. Turned out I sprayed too much into it. Didn't wait for it to dry completely and popped in my RCR123. Left it facing down on my wooden table. After some time, I prepared to go to bed. Since...

    I left a nitecore D10 in the bathroom for years, the lens turned blurry. I thought it was just dirt, took it apart and tried cleaning it but it was still blurry. Tried hot water, soap, glass cleaner but no improvement. How do I clean it?

    Hello all, I am looking for those hooks/clips which are usually attached to quality lanyards which came along with flashlights. Not sure what they are called, I know one of them is called "lobster claw". But I am looking for better quality ones, yet inexpensive as well. Can anyone give me a...

    Received the worst insult since becoming a flashaholic

    So I was showing a property to a client and there was no electricity in the house. She activated the 'flashlight' of her Galaxy S3 and I of course whipped out my EDC which was a 47's Mini AA neutral put to high mode. She said no need, her 'flashlight' was brighter...

    Thrunite Neutron 1AA and 2AA 1st impressions -Bitesize!

    After receiving a free 1AA Neutron flashlight from David of Thrunite, a review was the least I could do to offer my thanks. I ordered a 2AA battery compartment to compliment the flashlight. Having no past flashlight review experience, my 1st one will be a short and easy to digest piece. Here...
