    Anyone Know of this Brand?

    I was researching green lasers online and found the "freemascot.com" site. They have a 500mw green laser for under $70.00. Does anyone have experience with this company? Does it sound too good to be true? Thanks, Frank

    Lost in Cyberspace

    I usually read and post in the LED section but I've decided to learn about lasers. I somehow found myself in the marketplace section of the site and ended up registering as a new users thinking the format had changed. Talk about getting turned around:eek: Well, I'm back in familiar territory and...

    Streamlight Scorpion Destroyed!

    I should have known better than to try and mod my old scorpion, but I gave it a try. since the head does not come apart to release the lens, I decided to use my dremel with a cutoff wheel. That was a big mistake! When I finally got the head separated I saw that the aluminum was just over 1/8th...

    Incendio V3 Question

    I would like to know if anyone owns the V3 model with the 550 lumen high output? I have only seen this model advertised on one site and there is a warning that the high setting should only be used for no more than two minutes. I like the battery platform and other reviews of the V3 350 lumen...

    Getting What You Pay For

    I just received two flashlight from DX today. The Stainless Steel F22 and their Uniquefire L2. I own two Olight T-20 flashlights which have been amazing, very well made and very reliable. Back to my DX "deals", due to budget and curiosity I have purchased from DX in the past. I have the...

    You Can't Have It All

    Compared to the flashlights of the past we are overwhelmed with choices, so much so that it gets a bit confusing as to what we want or need. What are your priorities or needs in a flashlight either for work, home or EDC? I'm torn between the quest for brightness, compact size and run time...

    Monthly Giveaway

    I don't know what the membership of this forum is, but I'm willing to bet it is a substantial number. I'm also sure many of us purchase flashlights from the many manufacturers and retailers that advertise here. I think it would be a great idea if just one flashlight a month was awarded to a...

    Getting Out of Hand?

    Before I became a "Flashaholic" I had a Maglite in the house and a small flashlight in my car, that was three or so years ago. Now I have more flashlights than I would want my wife to see, along with several different batteries that only Forum members could recognize and appreciate. "I...

    Replacement Received

    When I received my order from BladeMatrix a few days ago one of the knives broke when I tried to adjust the opening tension. I called them and they sent me a replacement, no charge! Granted this was a very inexpensive knife, but I appreciate the no hassle customer service. I think I'll order the...

    Terralux Comes Through!

    I recently posted about my Terralux TLE-5EX problem, well after speaking to Mr. John Hausman at Terralux and faxing some information to them I was notified that they will be sending me a replacement unit. Both Mr. Hausman and Rush Andrews of Terralux are the kind of hands on company...

    Boker Magnum

    I stumbled across a YouTube video of this "switch blade" and had a few thoughts. I understand that such knives are illegal in most states, but given the speed with which many knives can be opened, why is such a knife seen as a greater threat? Sure the automatic Boker opens in a flash without any...

    Terralux TLE-5EX Dead

    I while back I modded my AA MiniMag with a Terralux TLE-5EX and tailcap switch. I didn't use the light very often and soon moved on to tacticals such as my Olight T-20's. I gave the MiniMag to my elderly Mom as an around the house flashlight. She called that the light was not working and I...

    EDC You'd Bet Your Life On?

    I received my order from Blade Matrix today, four knives, low price, just curious what they had to offer. The only knife I would trust to hold up in the event of a altercation, was the big Coleman CMN900 Tanto. This knife for the money is solid, strong, fast action and I believe durable...

    On A Budget

    I like knives but my limited budget forces me to purchase lower end items. Today I ordered another Coleman CMN900, Ridgid Bear Tooth in both plain and tanto blades, and a Colt CT253 stainless steel tanto framelock. Total came to $31.50 and that included shipping. I plan to do a little detail...

    Got Lucky

    A couple years ago a buddy of mine gave me a Coleman knife he picked up at a flea market. This knife had a tanto blade 440C black finish to the blade and rubber grips on the handle, it was a linerlock. I liked it so much I've been searching the Internet for a spare without much luck until I hit...

    Got Flashlight, Batteries Coming

    Kind of shocked to receive my dealextreme order in only two weeks, wonder if consumer demand played a part? I received my Ultrafire A10 and WF502-B, unfortunately I did not receive the two 18650 batteries I ordered. While I wait and hope they show up soon, I'm running two RCR123A's in their...

    RCR123A Battery Length Problem

    I posted this question in the LED section but it really belongs here. My problem is the longer length of the Ultrafire RCR123A batteries I tried using in my Led flashlight which worked fine with the shorter Tenergy RCR123A 3.7volt batteries. I would like to know if there is a safe technique to...

    Olight T-20 Fine, I'm Confused!

    I've been having fun with my Ultrafire A1 and C3 flashlights and have not used my Olight T-20 and T-20 Special Edition for a few months. Last night I decided to check the battery levels on the Olights and put them through some paces. To my disappointment neither would do anything but switch from...

    JetBeam Military or Olight M-20?

    I'm thinking about my next light, possibly a Christmas present to myself and while I was considering the Olight M-20 along comes the JetBeam Military. The money is about the same, slightly greater lumens goes to Olight, but the JetBeam has some fine things going for it according to the specs. I...

    Another 18650 Question

    Sorry to bother you folks with what must be some very basic questions but I'm curious. Comparing a 18650 rechargeable with lets say 2400MAH fresh off the charger with 4.1 volts to 2x RCR123A cells rated at 900MAH and 4.1 volts each, does the MAH of the RCR123A's double when combined as does...
