    Puke inducing flashlight

    Not sure why, but I want one... http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/07/homeland-secu-3.html

    Solar LED flashlight

    I see nothing contradictory here. Obviously the runtime depends on the capacity of the batteries and the depth of the charge. The web site says an 8 hour charge delivers 4-5 hours of light (but doesn't say what, if any, batteries are included in the lights shipped to consumers). 8 hours of...

    Solar LED flashlight

    Haven't seen these discussed in a while, but I just noticed this NY Times article on the BoGo Light solar LED flashlight, engineered for extended use in areas without electricity. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/world/africa/20lights.html www.bogolight.com

    Less bulky alternative diffuser than SF FM-64

    Thanks. I actually have an old F70; didn't realize they were still available. I was hoping, though, for something even less bulky than that. I don't care about the flip-top, if it cuts down on the bulk. H.Caul

    Less bulky alternative diffuser than SF FM-64

    Is there a less bulky alternative to SF's FM-64 diffuser, similar to the slip-on ones that they (used to) have for the E-series? I know there are one or two alternative vendors for colored filters in that size, but I've not found a diffuser that will fit the Kroma (or U2) other than the FM-64...

    Kroma-Milspec Arrived! Lots of Pics! Comparisons!

    Actually, I was wondering about that when I saw the specs in the post above. I actually hope it's 3 lumens on the milspec. I for my purposes I prefer a dimmer, long output light with the "blaster" level there for the rare occasions when I need it. I could live with 15 lumens as the low...

    Kroma-Milspec Arrived! Lots of Pics! Comparisons!

    Thanks for doing all this work with the Kroma! Re: measuring current: Are you using a DMM with separate high current and (fused) low current inputs? You should use the HIGH current input, which has lower resistance. If that fails and you have a known low-value resistor (one ohm or less)...

    Need help choosing LED color on new A2

    I have A2s in white, blue, red, and YG. You probably want red for your purposes. Red disrupts your dark adaptation least and is less visible to some animals. The red and white have slightly better beam quality on my samples than the blue and YG. HCaul

    Kroma-Milspec Arrived! Lots of Pics! Comparisons!

    Thanks for the photos! Any idea whether an 18650 wil fit? Does it have a plastic sleeve like recent-but-not-current U2s? HCaul

    8 LED lamp, phone line powered at fifthunit..;-)

    There are two wires from the central office to your house, usually called "tip" and "ring". When red and green wires are used, ring is usually red and tip is usually green. Ring is negative while tip is positive and near ground potential. The nominal on-hook ring-tip voltage of a standard POTS...

    CentraLED Worklight - down to $49.95!

    Obviously a great company to deal with, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they come out with next. But regarding melting and enclosed spaces: This is one thing I dislike about the foam case. It's such a tight fit that you REALLY can't tell if the light is on when it's in the insert. While...

    New CentraLED based product?

    After my long review above, it occurs to me that I didn't answer your original question. So, what about a headlight? Yes, I'd be interested in that. I agree with the comment above about including a low-level red; that's important to me. And ditto my comments in my previous post about using...

    New CentraLED based product?

    Actually, what I'd really like to see is a slightly upgraded version of your existing product. I bought three of them at the Herrington's firesale (actually, I bought five, but the second order of two was screwed up by my foolishly including a (backordered) auto power cable in the same order...

    CentraLED Worklight - down to $49.95!

    Hmm, they only charged me 8.95 shipping (for one light) to NY. According to the contact page, they are in NH, so there is no reason shipping to MA should cost more than to NY! This was for one light?

    Valuable lights on the airport conveyor belt

    Listen to your friends. US airport security checkpoints have to be among the most inhospitable places on earth for thieves these days. TSA staff and other passengers are watching the conveyor belts, everything is out in the open and videotaped, and if someone makes a run for it (either after...

    Current production SureFire U2s

    Just to clarify my poorly worded original posting, lest anyone go looking for a U2 with click stops at each position: my (1st generation) U2 ring rotates smoothly, with nothing "locking" the high or low power end. I understood (apparently correctly, based on other replies) that they added a more...

    Current production SureFire U2s

    Great, thanks! I had read of a click stop at the high power setting a few months after I got mine (I got mine when SF was shipping out the first orders). Mine, on the other hand, just operate smoothly around the entire ring, with no "lock" at the high power setting. Powernoodle, does yours...

    Current production SureFire U2s

    I have a question for any owners of recent production SureFire U2s. I bought a couble of the first run versions of these last year (which does not have the click-stops in the power ring that more recent ones have). They both had an annoying problem: when turned on at anything other than the...
