    Lighting suggestions for Earth Hour

    I'm looking for suggestions for lighting a large room for Earth Hour. I have a ~50W human-powered generator, a 60F capacitor, a 12V lead acid battery and a few 12 VDC to 120VAC inverters. The system with the capacitor and an inverter can run about two CFL bulbs comfortably on AC, but is there...

    New ITP A3s now have centered emitters via centering device?

    I received a new ITP A3 Upgraded recently and just noticed that unlike the pictures in the various A3 reviews on CPF, the emitter PCB actually has 4 black tabs holding it in place from each side. From what I can tell, the emitter is perfectly centered. The tabs look exactly like those on the...

    Should flashlights have safety features built-in?

    There's been a few threads recently on CPF where lights have exploded or had tailcaps pop off, which is theorized to be caused by batteries venting in a waterproof light, causing the pressure to build up too much. Even something as simple as an ITP A3 with a AAA battery is said to have exploded...

    What's your Sci-Fi / Fantasy EDC?

    This is going to be a geeky thread. Let's say you had access to all the technologies that are present in currently published sci-fi and fantasy (TV, movies, books). What would your EDC consist of? To keep things reasonable, let's say that the items you choose must be suitable for EDC without...

    AA light, > 30 Lumens for > 5 hours

    Are there any AA lights that can pump out more than 30 lumens for more than 4 to 5 hours? Preferably single mode or mode cycling by pressing the button. No programmable functionality, no memory. 1xAA if possible. Throw is not important. I haven't seen a light like that so far. Any recommendations?

    EagleTac issues?

    So EagleTac-Store is no longer carrying EagleTac lights and is having a massive sale at 40% off. But it carries a warning: Are they safe to buy? I was thinking of ordering a P100A2 from the Canadian 4sevens, but the prices at the US site are tempting. But this statement gives me pause.

    Does anyone know anything about these retro looking LED lights? http://www.evereadyindustries.com/business/flashlights/led-torches.asp They're listed under "DL-Brass". I like the look but I don't know anything about them.

    Shorter than expected runtime?

    I recently got a Fenix L2T V2 Q2. I was testing it yesterday and I found that after running it on low for maybe an hour (I didn't keep track, it was on and off), and high for maybe 20 to 30 minutes (again, on and off), I wasn't able to turn it on in high mode anymore today. The batteries were...

    Fenix L2T v2: what's wrong with it? Alternatives?

    I've been looking for this light, but no one in Canada sells it. The dealers all say it's either not popular or outdated. What's wrong with it? I'm hesitant to order from 4sevens. They're not based in Canada, which means I'm rolling the dice with regard to customs and it getting lost in...

    What does [x] lumens "look like"?

    I've been looking for a LED flashlight that's better than the ones I have (AAA mini maglite incandescent, maglite solitaire, cheap plastic single AA LED light, Rayovac 3 AA & 3 LED). There are a lot of choices, but I'm having a hard time determining which one to get. One of the hangups is what...
