    Which LED Light Started it All?

    A Radio Shack branded version of this: Around the year 2000. The rubber ends of the original started peeling and I tossed it. Only 3 lumens compared to 15 of the incan version but the beam was beautiful compared to the artifact riddled incan and it would last a few nights all night instead of a...

    EMF and Modern LED Lights

    NATO is testing using EMP to deactivate car bombs. There are now EMP devices much bigger than the ones used to reset calculators out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56veH8-KbEM

    200 Lumen LED Upgrade for Maglite on ebay?

    The shape of the LED affects throw. The XM-L is 4 times bigger than the XR-E/XP-E so can produce more light but it usually means 4X area of hotspot but not reaching out further. The shape of the dish affects throw distance. But it needs to be a minimum size to do its job properly if throw is...

    Newbie: Bought my first two decent flashlights this weekend

    withoutink, can you identify your lights a little better? The 2AA LED Maglight comes in 3 flavours: Mini Maglite® LED flashlight - 77 lumen multi mode, Mini Maglite® Pro flashlight - 226 lumen single mode, Mini Maglite® Pro+ flashlight - 245 lumen 2 mode. Which one(s) do you have? The 2D LED...

    200 Lumen LED Upgrade for Maglite on ebay?

    Sorry got the name wrong. If you look at the captions in the photographs its 'Mini Maglite Ministar 2 Ex 140 lumen'. Same output as the TLE-6EXB. The smaller reflector has less area to concentrate the light. So there is less light in the hotspot, more in the spill.

    200 Lumen LED Upgrade for Maglite on ebay?

    Search for TTS-3WCR45 That is what other sellers call it. Here is a thread with comparison beamshots both the 180 and 200 lumen TTS vs other lights. Note the TLE is in a minimag with a much smaller reflector resulting in a much softer spot...

    What impresses you more. A bright cool-white light or a bright neutral-warm light?

    Those cool white LED running lights in the new Audis and Mercedes cars impresses me in the WRONG WAY. Wish they would use a less annoying tint. OTOH everyone can see them coming, which is the reason for running lights.

    With 2013 LED technology- who has switched back to AAs for their flashlights?

    Never got into CR123A/RCR123A. I have stayed with AAs most of the time. When the SSC-P7 came out I was stuck with 18650s for a while. I may junk them as my current big lights are Mag 3C SSC-P7 and Defiant 3C XML 550 lumen. (Both my ipod boom boxes use C cells.) My keychain lights are AAA. I...

    Maglite beam pattern

    Hope you got a DX reflector on order too. Maglites use a pure parabola for maximum focus efficiency. But if you focus it on something 100 feet away, then shine it at something 3 feet away you get a doughnut. Or the other way around. The purpose of the Mag focus is so you can get perfect...

    Thoughts on Streamlight products?

    Streamlight main claim to fame is they make lights that are suitable for hazardous locations. Many Streamlights come with one way valves. In case a battery releases gas the valve lets it out. With standard clicky lights the rubber cap surrounding the switch blows up like a balloon. With twisty...

    *new* Lumintop SD10 - 1D cell light

    I do not know why you guys are so fixated on getting a D lithium. That light is small enough that heat is an issue. You probably won't be able to run it on max for over 15 minutes without burning your hands. (Note all the small lights that run brighter have an automatic step down.) 3AA is fine...

    *new* Lumintop SD10 - 1D cell light

    With 3AA the voltage is almost the same as the LED voltage. All the energy of the batteries is used to power the LED. With 1D there is a need to boost the 1.2V/1.5V to 3.6V. The boost circuit is very inefficient using up much of the energy. You can see that in the LED Maglite specs. Maglite 3D...

    Anyway to Identify my Fenix L2D ?

    I do not think the L2D has serial numbers. It is too old a model.

    Body-heat powered flashlight

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CCGUMkcbjg She is rather long winded and only demonstrated at the end. Around the 1:45 mark. The sound is rather low. Boost your volume control if you want to listen to her.

    New Mini Maglite Pro+ LED Flashlight

    If you NEVER use low mode, it is not worth paying double for the Pro+. I imported my Pro US$25 and Pro+ US$30 from zbattery at the very beginning. Where did you find the Pro & Pro+ in Canada?

    The "One Light" challenge

    There have been a number of similar threads asking if you can only have one light ... My answer is always my EDC. Currently it is a 4sevens Quark MiNi AA neutral. I guess the closest one can buy today is a foursevens Mini MA Cree XP-G High CRI.

    MiniMag Pro

    The reason the 3rd party switches do not work with the LED Minimags is because Mag has anodized the threads (they were bare metal in the old days). So if you de-anodize the threads the click switches should work. I vaguely remember some posts/threads on how to de-anodize flashlights. It might be...

    MiniMag Pro

    I could not get any of my tailcap switches to work with my minimag Pro or Pro+. I'm back to twisting the head.
