    Need a good weapon light

    I have a Surefire G2 mounted on the foregrip of my AR and I like it. It is cheap but every bit as bright as the m500a my buddy has (it should be, it has the same lamp assembly and batteries). I'm sure mine isn't as robust or recoil resistant as his, but for what I paid, I'll take my chances...

    Any thoughts on Streamlight TLR-1?

    I handled several of these at this year's SHOT Show and was impressed. I don't recall what the beam pattern was exactly, but I think it was similar to the X200b's flood beam. One thing I didn't like is that the activation switch only turned on by pushing the lever up (on the right side) or...

    shortening Junior Lux, running on 1AA?

    I have a SL Junior Luxeon that I've carried for two years that I retired in favor of a Fenix L1P. The Junior is beat up but still works fine. I'm considering cutting it down to a 1AA length (re-tapping the barrel for the tailcap) but I don't have any idea how the LED is going to run with just...

    SOG Knives

    I have a SOG Flash II in my pocket right now. I like it a lot. The thing that sold me on it was the low ride pocket clip and the SAT opening. My buddy bought a Zytel handled one that I liked a lot so I bought one direct from the SOG booth at the SHOT Show this year. However, after handling...

    The Gen4 TigerLight lamp assembly

    I took the Tigerlight out with the Super Premium pack (fully charged) and three different lamp assemblies - an SL20X that I textured with high temp enamel, a Generation 3 Tigerlight LA that I textured, and the Generation 4. The SL is not impressive - the texturing turned it into a floodlight...

    The Gen4 TigerLight lamp assembly

    I received my 'Super Premium' battery pack and Gen 4 lamp assembly today. It is on the charger for 24 hours per the instructions, but I couldn't resist turning it on a couple times to check it out. The beam, unfortunately, doesn't appear any nicer than the batwing one I had already, but it is...

    How do you stipple a reflector?

    Re: Sputtering or Texturing Reflectors I did basically what has been described here already. I held the can about 20" above the part and depressed the button only enough to get it to 'spit' out globs of the enamel to get the heavier texture I wanted. If I wanted less texture, I just pushed...

    How do you stipple a reflector?

    Re: Sputtering or Texturing Reflectors Thanks everyone for your input. I bought a can of Duplicolor High Heat Clear Engine Enamel at Checker Auto yesterday and textured 3 reflectors, one off a Dorcy handheld rechargeable spotlight, one a factory Tigerlight LA, and an SL-20X LA. The results...

    How do you stipple a reflector?

    Sputtering or Texturing Reflectors I have two reflectors that I want to add an orange peel type texture to in order to smooth out the beam. I have searched and searched and haven't found what people were using to do this. I suspect that this information got lost when the forum changed over to...

    The New TigerLight Super-Premium Battery Pack

    I have had an FBOP Tigerlight for 18 months now and I'm pretty disappointed with it. The build quality is excellent but the light output is pretty poor. My Pelican M6 Xenon matches it and my newly aquired Streamlight TL-3 blows it away. This is not acceptable to me in a light that costs this...

    Surprised by Streamlight TT 1L

    I can't comment on the 1L, but I just bought a 2L and am pretty disappointed in the Xenon beam. I bought this light thinking it would have a nice LED flood and a decent xenon spot; the LED does flood well, but I can't focus the xenon enough to spot decently. It just makes a white flood. I've...

    Pelican M6 LED vs SL TL-2 LED

    Do you have any 2xCR123 lights to compare your M6 LED's output to? I have an M6 incan and am considering an M6 LED but I'd like to get an idea of how it compares to the incan version. Thanks, Allan

    bulbs for Craftsman AA / Dorcy Excell

    So how do you like the Smith and Wesson 2AA Xenon? That is what I wanted to buy, but I couldn't find one anywhere locally and Sears had this AA on sale, so . . . Thanks, Allan

    bulbs for Craftsman AA / Dorcy Excell

    Their diameter is larger than the minimag bulb. I tried a MM bulb this morning and it does work, but it is dimmer and gives a lousy beam. I'd like to find original equipment replacements. Thanks for the reply, Allan

    bulbs for Craftsman AA / Dorcy Excell

    I just bought a Craftsman AA light but can't find any replacement bulbs. This light is identical to the Dorcy Excell AA. Dorcy lists bulbs on their website but doesn't tell me where to get them. Any suggestions? I couldn't find any solutions in the archives. Thanks, Allan
