    Sterling Hill Mining Museum (Pic heavy)

    I think this has enough flashlight content to belong in General, if not feel free to move it elsewhere. Thursday I took a trip to northwestern New Jersey to an attraction known as the Sterling Hill Mining Museum in Ogdensburg, NJ. It was formerly an active zinc mine that closed in 1986 and...

    Darrell Allen vintage dive light resto

    Hey guys, I am not a diver but apparently my father was once-upon-a-time. he pulled out this large yellow aluminum dive light that was in pretty rough shape. I would like to restore it as a conversation piece and a project, but it needs a few things. The light was complete when I received it...

    Where to buy T1-1/2 bulb socket

    Hey guys, I'm looking to procure a small number (2 or 3) bulb holders that would fit a T1.5 (like the Strion) bulb. I need them fairly small, no more than 1/2" in both diameter and length, with solderable leads off the bottom whether they be tabs or wires. The material isn't too important, I...

    Simple Kydex 6P holster

    I've been using a Bianchi Accumold 7326 holster for about a year with my Surefire 6P and the function is great. The belt loop is a little bit big, since its made to fit 2 1/4" belts and I generally run a 1.5", but otherwise its perfect for my needs. The problem is I've gone through 2 of them in...

    Warm White LED Headlamps / Made in USA

    Hey guys, I've been searching for a few days trying to get an idea of the headlamp I want. When the Saint Minimus was announced I was really looking forward to it, but if the beamshots I've seen appear to be slightly bluish in the center of the beam, probably due to a blue shift with whatever...

    Bridgeport Metal Goods

    Anyone know anything bout this brand? Picked up this light at the flea market for $0.50 (guy took $1 for this and a 60's vintage Eveready Captain). What is this? Cree power! :thumbsup:

    Glow Powder/Epoxy Translucency

    Hey guys, I just ordered some of the V10 glow powder for a few projects I have in mind, and I had a question. When mixing this stuff into the 'crystal clear' epoxy, how translucent is the resulting mix? Will it transmit as much light through it as, say, a thin piece of white plastic? I suppose...

    Bezel mode switching - long term reliability?

    So I was applying some grease to the threads of my T10C last night and examining the contact ring on the PCB that touches the body to get you into high-output mode. I've had this light for about a week, and the contact ring has a few noticable grooves in it that appear to be from either the top...

    Bit the bullet, Eagletacs have arrived

    With the opening of the Eagletac store by 4sevens, I decided to order a pair of their 1-cell lights. I got the P10C and T10C coming. They look nice on the website, although I could see me breaking that clip off in no time, and it looks harder to replace than the one on my Nitecore Extreme (broke...

    Pocket Clip Thread

    ...happened. I half suspected it would, just not so soon. This morning, getting out of my truck to go into work, I felt some resistance and then a *snap* *ching ching*. The pocket clip on my Nitecore Extreme snapped just below the mounting screws. I've had this light for a month. I'm going to...

    P60 Focal Length

    It would seem that most of the P60 LED dropins carry similar dimensions from the face of the die to the forward edge of the reflector. I was wondering if a) anyone has measured one or more, and found out the optimum focal length required for a lens, and b) if any of the popular channels for...

    VitalGear FB2 + Nitecore Extreme?

    Hey guys, my NE arrives today, and while I usually like to play with a light for a while before I go modding it, I was wondering if anyone has tried the combo of a NE head and a FB2 body? They're both supposedly E-series compatible. I understand the NE head is not rated for 6v, so I was...

    LumiLite Zenon Steel 4D

    So I was walking through Target the other day, trying hard not to walk down the flashlight aisle, but since I hadn't seen anything good there in a while I figured what harm would it do, I won't buy anything. They had this little 4D spotlight with a top mounted carry handle from Lumilite for...

    Audi R8 Headlights

    This belongs in the automotive section as much as here, but since I figured the LED gurus could speculate better I stuck it here. Searched but didn't see any other threads on it. Audi R8 to offer full LED headlights Anyone wanna speculate what sort of configuration they're running here? I...

    P60 LED Pill into a Mag?

    I think this belongs here, or maybe in the materials/machining section. Anyway.. I've been thinking for a while how cool it would be to have an aluminum disc, similar to the KD CREE dropin for D-Mags, that would accept the pill from P60 LED dropins. The benefits would be ease of upgrades to the...

    Fenix T1 bezel ring.. swappable?

    I just ordered a T1 on clearance from Lighthound, and although it's a little big to be my ideal EDC, the 2-modes will probably have me liking it more than my Q-III i carry now. I have a question though. It looks like the bezel ring is removable. Has anyone tried sticking in a different bezel...

    Old Nuwai's, playing Lego(TM)

    I currently carry a Nuwai QIII upgraded with a SSC P4 as my EDC. I pilfered a pocket clip from a Rayovac Sportsman Extreme 3W (AKA Nuwai TM-301-X3) I keep in my truck. Recently I've been contemplating getting a new switch for the Q-III because I rarely leave the light on for more than a few...
