    Back in the saddle

    Hi guys, Well it's been some time since I've been here at CPF. I sort of slowed my light purchases as my immediate flashlight needs have been largely satisfied. With the increasing cost of living, the family finances have been under some strain but I'm still using and enjoying some of my...

    Current "Best" single AA light, favoring KISS and long runtimes over high output...

    Re: Current "Best" single AA light, favoring KISS and long runtimes over high output My Jetbeam JET-1 MK I bought years ago is by far my most used light. It’s been through the washing machine at least a dozen times, been dropped etc and it still works great. It just loves chewing through my...

    When you've found The One

    After collecting various lights since 2008, my go to pocket light turned out to be the cheapest one: Jetbeam JET- MK. 3 good light levels with memory, light weight and small, good clip, twisty reliability, nice beam and 14500 comparability for show off purposes. :-) Its pretty much the only...

    MD 1 vs Five Mega 3P ...any thoughts?

    Gotta love a good shorty. My VME/single cell body combined with an early M31W (neutral tint) is just a fantastic combo.

    Problem with my Surefire U2 - update, *solved*

    Re: Problem with my Surefire U2, need advice The tailcap is probably the cause if the momentary part of the switch allows normal operation but the latch part of the switch does not. I'm guessing there is some added resistance within the switch that is causing a reduced current to the head of...

    Favorite EDC flashlights of 2016

    Haven't bought a new light this year. Newer members may have to look up the history books for this one but through out 2016, I'm still carrying my 2008 Nitecore D10 GD! :-)

    McGizmo Haiku - An Ideal EDC - An Essay

    I'm very sensitive to PWM too. I had and sold a McGizmo light for this reason. The HDS lights are supposed to be PWM too but for the life of me, I cannot detect any PWM with any of the many HDS lights I have owned. The frequency must be extremely fast. The Malkoff lights show some PWM on the...

    Whoa! What Happened To Fenix?!

    I'd just ask Batterystation it they can check their stock for a Fenix with perfectly centred emitters. If so, then I'd pay the shipping cost and get a swap. If not, then I'd just keep it.

    Is it just me, or is nobody making anything worth buying anymore?

    Hi Guys, I tend to agree with many of the comments from members particularly from those that have been at this hobby for a while. Back when I joined in 2008, hot wire ( incandescent ) lights were just as popular as LED lights. If you wanted big power, a modified Hotwire light was the way to go...

    1st purchase Fenix TK10

    I bought TK10 from the MarketPlace years ago from a guy who bought several of this model to get a perfectly white tinted emitter. He sold the rest off leaving the best one for me. The tint on my TK10 is just beautiful on both low and high modes - so there are definately tint lottery winner...

    My Nitecore Failure

    It is true that many manufacturers experience failures from time to time. I've had problems with Nitecore, Fenix, Malkoff, HDS, 4Sevens, Olight & Surefire etc. For very heavy use, my most trusted light is my Prometheus MC-E - it has worked perfectly for the past 12 months with very, very...

    My most used, most reliable and best performing light ever!!

    I wouldn't be too worried about the dangers of Lithium Ion cells. I have only used AWs and Eagletac cells over the past 7 years. I have had zero issues over that time. One of my kids actually put two of my 18500s in my Ultrafire charger backwards over night and guess what? Nothing happened. I...

    My most used, most reliable and best performing light ever!!

    Hi Guys, Yes, it's the 4000K warm MC-E. The tint is not as warm as a high powered incan. It's a beam that makes things look warm and cozy but very close to 'real' if you know what I mean?! It's very handy when you need to identify the colours of individual wires within a loom. On vintage...

    My most used, most reliable and best performing light ever!!

    Hi Guys, It's been a while since I've been on this forum. I must admit, since closing down my torch internet business: Cooltorches.com, my interest in all things relating to torches has wained a little.:( I have, up until recently, had a very positive experience here at Candlepowerforums.com...

    New Malkoff MDC in the works.

    So it's only got 3 levels.... High, Med and Strobe.:eek: It utilises PWM, with no mode memory and it doesn't take RCRs!:thumbsdow I can't think of a worse set up for an EDC. No moonlight mode? Come on Gene! James....
