    Help me pick a small AA torch.

    I just got a nexgen 500 sandwich and put it in a minimag, I'm extremely happy with it though I can tell you it's not the cheapest way to go. I wanted to have the ability to customize and mix and match components, so this was the best way to go for me.

    Why the interest in lower wattage lights???

    well, does mouth-abilty count? I can easily work with my AAA in my mouth...(no one wants to touch my Arc-AAA) but my mini-mag+lux3 sandwich is a bit too heavy... ok seriously though they do have luxeon modded AAA lights and all but the run time isn't very practical for most people. I just got...

    21 LEDs powerd by 3 AAA

    One D-cell would be a lower voltage. 3AA would give a longer run time than 3AAA, and 3C or 3D would give even more. To go down to a 1D would probably require boosting the voltage with a regulator. a 3AA > 1D adapter would work fine though. Remember, one AAA, AA, C, or D, all have the same...

    Aleph 2 DB1000 vs L4

    [ QUOTE ] NewBie said: It also gets less efficient with heat. In quite a few flashlights, the Luxeon takes a 20% loss in light output from heat, 20-30% in reflector losses, 8-12% loss in the bezel lens/glass, and then you can loose 10-50% loss in battery power due to the efficiency of the...

    Aleph 2 DB1000 vs L4

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if the heat could be removed more effectively the only main difference would be longer life time of the luxeon. More power = more heat, after all that power has to go somewhere. It's just that it gets less efficient and more heat is produced the harder you...

    Aleph 2 DB1000 vs L4

    I concur with kevin, great charts! Now I'm even more excited (or impatient) about my nexgen 500 sandwich getting here...It'll be my first luxeon light and it seems it'll be more than what I expected...Can't wait til it gets here! It seems like the effiency of luxeons just gets worse and worse...

    Heir to the Arc-LS?

    I second that, the aleph 2 seems like an awesome light. The model with the nexgen 750 definitely the way I'd go. If I had the money I'd probably order one right now...

    arc AAA replacement foam rings

    So, I just did some maintenance on my Arc-AAA and used up my last foam ring. Now, I probably won't need to do that again, well hopefully atleast, as the last time I did some maintenance I put a bit too much solder on, this time I put the minimal amount on..I don't think it'll smush the...

    Will Peak Solutions become the next Arc Flashlight

    Re: Will Peak Solutions become the next Arc Flashl [ QUOTE ] nonbox said: When will the new Peak Solutions 1W,3W,5W CR123 come out? I wish Peak Solutions would come out with brighter lights. I don't see the need for N cell lights since AA & AAA are the standard. [/ QUOTE ] it says on their...

    let's put some lipstick on this pig

    Re: let\'s put some lipstick on this pig I tried a few with a CR2, and it doesn't fit in any. I need to find a wider candidate. It would be possible to widen them easily, but I don't have any which I'm allowed to modify yet...Since a CR123A is slightly wider then a CR2, I will have to make sure...

    let's put some lipstick on this pig

    Re: let\'s put some lipstick on this pig I just went around looking at numerous lipstick tubes...(living with 3 women provides this ability.) One or two of them fit an AA no problem, a few would have fit them if I took out the plastic-ring inside them which holds the lip-sticking-material, and...

    let's put some lipstick on this pig

    Re: let\'s put some lipstick on this pig i wonder how well a rocker-switch with a dome of rubber over it would work...I'd think it'd water proof pretty well, also would make it harder to knock it on by accident...It wouldn't be momentary in that case though(if thats what you're looking...

    let's put some lipstick on this pig

    Re: let\'s put some lipstick on this pig that is quite small, I'm interested in trying something similar once my nexgen 500 arrives. Speaking of lipstick, I wonder if that'd fit inside your average lipstick tube? Just imagine, twist the lip stick thing and the light turns on....that'd be...

    Will Peak Solutions become the next Arc Flashlight

    Re: Will Peak Solutions become the next Arc Flashl well hopefully they won't become too much like arc and go bankrupt.... all jokes aside though the AAA prototype body looks so similar to the arc-aaa body that it's not even funny...if they can match the brightness and time of an arc-AAA then...

    What was the 1st LED flashlight?

    My first was an Arc-AAA which I got 1-2 years ago. Until a few weeks ago, it was my only LED flashlight. Now I've got a nexgen sandwich on the way so I'll have 3 soon.

    2AA LuxIII

    If next-gen is unobtainable for a while (I'm not super impatient but I don't want to be waiting months) I think I'm going to go with a madmax standard with a setup like this: Sandwich Retaining Oring 2/$.25 $0.25 O-Ring $0.25 Fraen LP...

    2AA LuxIII

    I'm getting this too now, i've seen it happen on other threads as well, must be an image in someone's sig on a protected server or something... EDIT: It's zigzago's avatar.
