    Anyone still using a Terralux Ministar 1 TLE-4 or other "old school" LED??

    Re: Anyone still using a Terralux Ministar 1 TLE-4 or other "old school" LED?? I have a few Minimag and Brinkmann AA-powered lights that I use constantly for walking around the house at night. They all have 1-watt Luxeons that provide plently of night light without messing up my night vision or...

    RC-F4 with protected cells

    Thanks guys, the fix originally posted by 04orgZx6r worked! Actually the switch was screwed in quite stubbornly and I didn't want to force it, but just loosening the pill did the trick. Best, -Peter

    RC-F4 with protected cells

    I've been running my Romisen RC-F4 with Surefire primary 123's with great success. I wanted to use rechargeable cells so I tried Ultrafire (gray) 3.6v protected cells. These are both longer and wider than the primary cells, but they did fit easily into the battery tube. However, the light did...

    KD Buckle AAA vs. Fenix E01

    My main reason for carrying a light on my key chain is that I will always have light in case of blackout or emergency. Under such circumstances I do not want a light that will go dim after a half an hour. I have an E01 on my key chain now after many years of carrying an Arc. I like bright...

    Two of my Cree Q5 lights has gone dim.....

    I have had the same problem with the Eastward. When I first (after some effort) got it to light up, the beam was pretty much indistinguishable from that of my WF-400. Now, after only light use, the Eastward beam, when compared to the WF-400, is dimmer and has a yellow-brown cast. Very...

    Fenix E01

    My Arc "Limited Edition" has done noble service on my keychain for the last five years, but I bought an olive E01 hoping it would be brighter. Indeed, the E01's beam is much brighter and whiter than that of the Arc, so I got another olive E01 for my wife. The two E01s have virtually identical...

    Wet blanket on the E01 party

    It's a lot easier to add features when you don't have to actually make the light. When you're not making the light, you don't have to deal with physical limitations, difficult choices, or the thoughtful balancing of components. You are pretty much free to want whatever you want. This principle...

    DOA light: Eastward YJ-XAQ5

    BINGO! That fixed it! In the case of my particular light, experimentation pointed not to rotating the pill, but rather to loosening the bezel. I will leave it to greater minds than mine to figure out that worked. I can think of some dire answers but for now the light works. After figuring that...

    DOA light: Eastward YJ-XAQ5

    The head seems to be quite obstinately affixed to the battery tube. How did you get it off? Thanks, -Peter

    DOA light: Eastward YJ-XAQ5

    Thanks guys, I tried shorting with wire as Kramer5150 suggested and also took apart and reassembled the switch as Luke A suggested. Still no hint of light. Unfortunately I do not have a multimeter. Is it time to write to KD? -Peter in NY

    DOA light: Eastward YJ-XAQ5

    Well, I received this light today from Kaidomain, and while it looks and feels great in the hand, it doesn't light up (which is a significant failing for a flashlight) ;-) I swapped out the battery to a WF-400 and it worked fine so it's not a bad battery. Tinkered with tinfoil to no avail...

    What drop-in for Brinkmann Legend LX?

    Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive LED drop-in that will fit the Brinkmann Legend LX? Also, is there such a thing as a drop-in for the Surefire E2 Executive? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Peter
