    Questions about 200 lumen claim on Fenix P3D Q5

    This is getting ridiculous. Chevrofreak's homemade sphere has been pretty darn close to other reliable sources. Additionally, you deny the validity of his measurements yet you produce an absurd +/-25% error across the board for homemade devices. This easily makes it into the 97th percentile of...

    SUREFIRE TITAN..BIGGEST RIPOFF EVER???

    I can definitely think of bigger ripoffs in the history of CPF.

    What are your intentions with the Titan?

    65 lumens is plenty for a keychain light and I'm sure the quality of the light is top notch. The interface is really great (imo). That said, titanium offers no advantages (disadvantages in a number of cases like heat dissipation) over aluminum except for look. It costs a TON but for those (like...

    CR2 ION turnaround?

    Paulr, I believe the "world class service" was a mission, not a guarantee. The knurling is precise and the machining quality is impeccable on the ones I've seen and handled. I haven't seen a single machining quality item to harp on. LED centering? It's a flood light. The only truly effective...

    Over-driven LED in LS?

    Luxeon Stars have very good lumen maintenance as compared to their 5mm white counterparts. The LSes are slightly underdriven (I believe they are driven at 330mA whereas spec is 350mA). However, the joint temperature and the temperatures on die are assuredly warmer than the 25 degrees celsius...

    Coolest 2x AAA light ever. NEW PICTURES!

    Re: Chapman/Leonard Lens light Super cool 2xAAA li Sounds like an interesting light though I'm quite skeptical of their "9,000 foot water" resistance claim.

    LongBow Micra - How Did I Miss This ???

    Surely there's got to be someone else who owns a Micra, an LSH and a light meter. I'm hoping TIN simply received a dud, as I was quite hopeful that the Longbow + reflector would be a suitable LS replacement.

    Question about light dispersion from an LED

    Well you have a couple choices here. It sounds like you are using traditional 5 mm LEDs. You probably have the 5mm 20 degree LEDs, which as you noticed, don't produce a very wide beam. If you make your way over to http://www.whiteleds.com you can find wider angle 5mm'ers. In the case that you...

    Arc5 delayed until 2005

    The 5wers will be 2x123 as the default, if I remember correctly.

    Arc5 delayed until 2005

    Yes 357, I believe it is worth it, for most. I don't believe most people realize how much 500 hours is in the world of flashlights. Let's do a little hypothetical here. Let's assume you are a normal user, using your new light perhaps 10 minutes a day and having one emergency a month where you...

    Arc5 delayed until 2005

    The Lux III wouldn't produce near the amount of total light that the 5w does. If you'll remember, the 5w has four of the 1w dies and produces much more overall light as compared to the 3w, which is just a more efficient 1 watter really.
