    Secutor PEL-6

    IMHO, there would be no need for holsters if the Gladius and now the Secutor had removable belt clips like the Thrunite Scorpion. At the very least the Secutor could have a Cree XPG R5 in it already driven between 1.0 to 1.5 A instead of the weak 120 lumens Cree (looks like a Q3) emitter it has.

    Flashlight/ Recharge in Car

    It's better to have a car charger for your flashlight batteries like the RCR123, 16340, 18650, etc. instead of a charger for the whole flashlight in the car like my Stinger XT. Made an spare/extra 3-cell sub-C NiCD battery and installed a homebrew charger for the Stinger XT, instead of...

    Anyone got their hands on the Solarforce M8 XM-L?

    Is it possible to use its A.I. switch with the Solarforce L2 and can you put an L2 body into the M8 head? TIA!

    Is This Optic Damaged / Defective? Gladius Creemator Upgrade (Pics)

    Very interesting thread, thanks for the updates. A thermal epoxy should stop the wires from being cut when the bezel is screwed back after cleaning the lens. Good luck!

    I want the TD15 or TD15X, but Selfbuilt's review made me re-consider my choice...

    Have both TD15 and TD15X. The TD15X can reach whatever the TD15 can but just not as bright on the target. I just keep the TD15 because I prefer its user interface and as a backup to my TD15X. My TD15 is driven at 1.4A on a single 18650 while my TD15X reads only 1.7A on a single 18650 at the...

    Do anyone buy the Ultrafire UF-007 (Recoil Led)

    It's not focused because of the bent post. Had one before and it was focused at all distances. Try to focus it using locking pliers or a mini adjustable wrench. Good luck!

    Cleaning reflectors, can it be done?

    A friend borrowed my flashlight and opened it up without permission while I was not around and touched the OP aluminum reflector. Had no choice but to clean it up. Tried 70% isopropyl alcohol and cotton to pat it dry but it looked somewhat dull after. Washed the reflector in soap and water...

    Anything out there that can compete with the Gladius tactical UI?

    Thanks for the stock Gladius reflector tip, will try it. :) If you need to change channels with thumb and forefinger, it means your ring might have lint, fine sand or debris in it. Our group can reliably operate our channel rings using the thumb only. We clean the Gladius switch by making...

    Anything out there that can compete with the Gladius tactical UI?

    You're welcome. I got this KD OP reflector http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=9208 and its smaller hole causes a smaller hotspot but the same sidespill as this bigger hole DX XP-G R5 drop-in OP reflector which came with my drop-in http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32953

    Anything out there that can compete with the Gladius tactical UI?

    DX and KD respectively. No cheap source of XP-G smooth reflectors (only sold as a Dereelight drop-in so far) so we're stuck with OP XP-G reflectors. Good luck with your mod, hope the XP-G R4's shorter throw is not that noticeable compared to the XR-E R2. If anybody knows a source of smooth...

    Anything out there that can compete with the Gladius tactical UI?

    Just swap your P4 with a Cree R2 20mm star or whatever emitter your Quark has. Note that you'll need to use a Cree XR-E reflector for a Cree R2 or an XP-G reflector for an XP-G R4 or R5 20mm star. Tried the SSC P4 mod before and it looked like double the throw compared to its stock Luxeon III...

    Why are all Selector-rings on the head?

    Blackhawk applied for a patent for the Gladius selector ring and contactless switch features that's why other companies don't copy those designs.

    new mini SOLARFORCE L2 ...

    My 3.0v rechargeable CR123As work in my L2m but it's a bit dimmer. ;)

    My impressions of the Solarforce L2 R2, 5-mode

    Or maybe glue the plastic washer on to the retaining ring so we don't need to flip it over? Had to screw it over my head too. :)

    Piritlight SG-L8 - Spear clone

    It has a reverse clicky switch, High>Low>Off and can be powered by one 18650 battery, 2xCR123A or 2xRCR123A (3.0 or 3.7v works ok). No pics and beamshots, sorry. I can distinguish objects consistently at 100m away with street lights and around 150m to 200m in pitch dark locations depending on...
