    Sunwayman S10A(XMG2 1xAA): Not a "great shark" but excellent spill oriented light

    Sunwayman S10A(XMG2 1xAA): Not a "great shark" but excellent spill oriented light Firstly a warning: I'm writing this review with only a few days of using this item - something I wouldn't normally do, but the misleading manufacturer's description needs fixing, good spill lights are rare, and...

    Info on special Epoxies

    I found this by chance and thought it might be useful here: http://www.cotronics.com/vo/cotr/ea_1.htm - spec sheets and sales for electrically conductive and insulating epoxies, heat conducting, heat resistant, etc.

    14500 cells and charger?

    I was planning to get the "Trustfire" 900mAH protected cells and Ultrafire WF139 from DealExtreme (or to possibly get the charger from ebay, as there are sellers there who offer it with the slight advantage of a UK power lead). My LF5 is supposed to safe with unprotected cells, but I thought...

    Calling Liteflux owners!

    I would really appreciate feedback, extensions, improvements to the following attempt to produce a replacement for the light's manual. The following is based on my LF5. BASIC UI HINT NOTES My camera just died, and this would be hard to photograph anyway because of the angles involved, so...

    Liteflux LF5 - first impressions

    The Liteflux LF "Beacon" series are perhaps the most eccentric lights currently made. Firstly, they are multiple mode programmable lights (which is pretty amazing for lights costing less than $60). Secondly, instead of using a clicky they use a single twisty - at the front of the light - for...

    Strobes and Epilepsy

    Condensed from a lighting SFX manufacturer's site: [SIZE=2] Something to think about. If you are tempted to use a "tactical" strobe to e.g. direct traffic at night, I'd suggest that you might want to re-think - these tend to be at exactly the worst frequency. Otoh, an SOS strobe is not going to...

    Missing light - Cree 2xAAA?

    I can't find anything like this, but wouldn't it be really nice? About the width of a Maglite Solitaire, but without the bulky head. Pen clip as standard. Lots of runtime, decently bright, and easy to carry in a pocket, and much harder to lose than a single AAA. Ideally with the ability to use...

    Original ARC LS, modded?

    I have one of these that I picked up on ebay several years ago. I suspect that it's possibly modded - as I remember there's an internal switch to give two modes. The light might have been modded? I have a dim memory that it might have been made just after Arc folded, and/or from some casing...

    Ultimate irritation (and question about LF5)

    You spend ages comparing lights, decide to order one, then can't buy it! Seriously, is the Liteflux LF5 still in production? It's sort of only half way on their website - summary but not detailed info is there, and it's not possible to order one.

    Lights with locator mode - much more useful than strobe!

    I'll probably buy a Deree soon, one of the attractions being the new non-nonsense strobeless 3-stage pill. While thinking about this, I decided that my ideal pill for a 200 lumen light would be exactly as the new Deree (3 levels with memory) but with a locator mode - a dim glow lasting for...

    Next step up from a Fenix Rebel P3D?

    I'm thinking of buying a P3D with OP, but I would like to know if there is a light that I can spend some more on, without going insane, that is worth the extra? My must-haves are: - Decent size to use with gloves (otherwise I'd buy an AA Jetbeam - my pre-Cree JB has terrific build quality) -...

    Red, Orange, and Yellow Photons

    I know that Photons in this colour range are claimed to have about 10 times the runtime of the blues, greens, and whites. But the red Freedom I have is so dim it's a pain to use even for reading, which is what I tend to use it for - usually paperback size print for an hour or more at a time in...

    Learning electronics for fun

    I feel like doing this, and I was wondering what book and other resources the Mod Gods here would recommend? Some sort of breadboard kit and a multimeter would be the way to go? (Btw - I'm in the UK, which may make a difference re. product names.)

    Kubotan/Yawara/Fistload Cree?

    I like to carry a light that will work as a fistload while travelling late at night. The Inova X5 was exactly right in every respect physically, but I'd like a Cree based light with a dimmer. I'm considering the Huntlight and the 2AA Fenix and I'd be interested in hearing how tough these are...
