    In need of a new edc.

    I thought the SC52 has a really sensitive switch. Might turn itself on just like the Preon.

    18650 powered thrower

    A Dereelight that has an aspherical lens has no spill. But Dereelight lets you mix and match and lego. So it may be wise to get the Dereelight DBS-T with OP reflector for throw and spill and an additional Nightmaster aspherical lens head for extreme throw. China is in the middle of a week long...

    18650 powered thrower

    Newbies should not be using lithium batteries for their first torch. They should be getting used to things like finding which user interface, tint, and beam pattern they like first. In the excitement of a first high powered flashlight they can easily forget some of the precautions they need to...

    Recommend me a long rang thrower that uses cree xm-l2 and 18650 battery

    A long time ago CPF used 1 lux as the standard for determining distance. That way we can compare different lights with a standard number. As 1 lux on the target is not very bright the recommendation is to have many lux at the required distance. When the FL1 standard was proposed, the flashlight...

    What not-too-bright mini flashlight?

    Go to dorcydirect, select LED flashlights, select 26 to 45 lumens. Many of the flashlights come in more than one colour, so the each kid can identify their own. Buy a bunch of 2D flashlights at the local discount mart. 2AA if you have little ones. Get the 41-1643 30 Lumen 3V Replacement Bulb...

    Recommend me a long rang thrower that uses cree xm-l2 and 18650 battery

    Those 2 requirements do not go well together. Multiple LEDs mean smaller reflectors which will reduce throw. A lot brighter close up but less throw. skyray is a budget brand. For your requirements stay out of the budget forum. Dereelight Night Master Aspherical Flashlight 800M throw or...

    Need help finding the right 1,000Lm flashlight!

    Make sure you go with low self discharge NiMH. Label will say 'pre-charged' or 'stay-charged' or something that indicates the battery will hold its charge more than 2 weeks to a month as with normal NiMH. They are actually less capacity than normal, about 2000 mAH vs 2500 mAH fresh off the...

    Security guard needs help finding a good holster carry flashlight for work

    Mini Maglite Pro Plus. At 245 lumens on high it is about 17.5X the pathetic 14 lumens of the incandescent version. 25% of that on low. Longer than the standard version so you need a new holster. A quick Google check shows they are being imported into Sweden. It has a funny interface. Watch...

    Need help finding the right 1,000Lm flashlight!

    Brightness sells so most 1000+ lights are designed that way. You will get probably 1 (ONE) hour on the highest setting. Make sure your light have turbo/burst mode and high at 2+ hours. Almost all 1000+ lumen lights use lithium ion batteries. They can be very dangerous if you do not follow...

    'Roar of the Pelican' or ROP is the simplest upgrade to a 6D Mag. The plastic lens and reflector of your stock Mag would melt so you need to get a glass lens and metal reflector in addition to the bulb. Hotwire How-To: The ROP and the Mag 11...

    Upgrading from supermarket quality for black outs and home remotes / kids toys.

    "New" to flashlights - thoughts?

    If you have a multimeter check the voltage before charging. If less than 2.7V toss the battery.

    "New" to flashlights - thoughts?

    That depends on the light. Some lights use 18650 only. Some lights use 2*CR123A only. Some lights use 18650 or 2*CR123A only (RCR123A not allowed!!!) Some lights use 2CR123A/RCR123A or 18650. (Most of these run dimmer with 18650.) You have to read the specs on each individual light. Since you...

    foursevens does not sell a Quark AAX tactical. By the time you buy a 2AA-X light and a 1AA body you are just under $100. Over budget. If daddy can live with a 2AA light then its fine.
