    Surefire 6PX Pro low mode only. Fixable?

    If the voltage drops too low, the light has a power save mode that sets it to low only. Fresh batteries should reset this. Not this time. It goes back to be evaluated.

    Surefire 6PX Pro low mode only. Fixable?

    I was using 2 cr123'S and a 16750. I have it unplugged to see if it resets.

    Surefire 6PX Pro low mode only. Fixable?

    I didn't see that on their website. I will look again.

    Surefire 6PX Pro low mode only. Fixable?

    Picked up a second gen (320 lumen) 6PX Pro that will now only run on low mode. It did run on low or high. Is it fixable or is it now a nightstand light?

    What to expect when you order an Arc-AAA..

    All of mine have been exlemplary. I worried about the lack of lens for ten seconds. That was way back in the early days of the LS, so I've been around them for a long time. My normal carry one is on a neck chain and shows no signs of wear in the tail ring. The split ring however has turned a...

    Assault crowns are they really usefull?

    Better switch it to LED or after the first zombie bashed the lamp will probably go out. :clap:

    Ideas for retrofitting a unique flashlight with LEDs?

    Pics? Brand? You may be able to squeeze a Dorcy AAA circuit in with some clever work with a soldering iron. For some reason the hotel wireless ate the pic? Or my PC is mental!

    Easy mag mods?

    I am driving my Mag85 with a three of AW's "C" cells and a tube extender. I would go that route with those or 18650's over those AA to D adapters. There will be a lot of internal resistance to overcome in that design, the springs need to be soldered to their anchor points, the positive to...

    Did someone say they liked Purple?

    My portable tablet PC is whacked. They look royal blue to me. Got to check them out when I get home. Love the lathe work. My purple 2C's have faded somewhat terribly in the scant few years I have had them. Hope this tint holds up better.

    Ye Olde Maglite 2C

    I had to check but the C size has kept the same switch/lamp holder assembly from the beginning. Order Outdoors is one place where I have bought parts in the past.

    mag 3D runs at 6volts....

    That is a common setup. Drop one cell down on the lamp vs battery setup. A 3 cell lamp in a 4 cell light, 4 cell in a 5 cell etc. Some lamps tolerate this better than others. You will get less life from the lamp but a lamp that burns twice as bright lasts half as long, so to speak. All lamps...

    Good soldering gun?

    I've used Weller soldering stations and stand alone irons for years. Hakko was never available locally in the pre internet days. I currently use the weller with digital conthol and the small irons that can use large or tiny surface mount tips. I have had to replace a SMD IC and it looked like it...

    LED Stars with on board drivers

    They arrived today. Better build than the photos show. Not terribly bright on 2 AAA's. have not measured current yet. Not even warm after 20 minutes with no sink except the star board. OK but not spectacular. Not 3 watt by the looks either. OK i read the listing again. It needs 3.6-6 volts...

    LED Stars with on board drivers

    Cold fusion X has a shop on fleabay where they sell luxeon like stars with on board circuits. Any body try them yet? At $13.25 I may be tempted to put my toe in the water anyway. So what if I have to do without a few beers a couple of days next week. :D

    Fenix condom for your keychain: Necessary! new photo

    I'd use a translucent tubing and shrink a glass bead over the lens (I'll pass on the reservoir tip joke - DOH) and make a slip on diffuse "candle condom". Similar to the 5mm ones Craig reviewed aeons ago.

    Liquid electric tape.

    Back when I worked in a radio shop (General Aviation Electronics or GENAVE) we used pink or red nail polish to mark the pots and caps as a tamper ID. Amazing how many people will tweak a broken radio that has "not been touched". :p We used an odd garish hue that most customer's wives wouldn't...

    Regulator in Dorcy Metal Gear?

    I put a Dorcy single AAA in one and bypassed the output resistor and pound it with a 3.7 volt LI-Ion Rechargeable for extra damage. Suprise it hasn't smoked yet.
