    New RCR 123 from Lighthound??

    Just noticed that Lighthound has a new RCR that has an Battery Station label. You can see it Here It lists it as 900 mAh. Interesting that I couldn't find this RCR on the BS website. Anyone used this batt and does it run any longer than the traditional 750 mAh blue sold by Lighthound...

    McE2s standard guts still available?

    I know most of the tailcaps are not available at the shoppe or elsewhere, but I'm wondering about the standard switch components? Are the standard McE2s switches available (non flat top)? Std rubber boot? Shoppe site has them but then says "1" is too many to order. Thanks MB

    Thinking about getting an Kino Bay

    The reason is I really want a quality single AA light. I'm not overly impressed with the quality of either my Jet or Triton. Both perform very well, but I have my doubts as to the reliability of either. I suspect I'd feel the same way about the Fenix if I owned one. I don't particularly care for...

    Questions about Kino/keychain

    I noticed that the Kino Bay is only available in one body style and that is "keychain". What I can't tell from the pix on FR of some of the other "keychain" Peak lights is whether or not the light is waterproof with the keychain attachment unscrewed. It looks as though there is a set screw...

    Sometimes it's just gotta' be an incan.

    I really thought that LED technology had for the most part caught incans on brightness and especially runtime. Great improvements have also been made in throw, especially if you consider what MAg has done with the Mag-led dropin and other leds that really use a reflector well. What I didn't...

    How do you test Nimh batts?

    I have tons of them, mostly AA's. I find that sometimes my digital camera which takes 4 AA's will shut down after just a few shots because one or more of the AA's aren't holding a charge very well. Would this show by checking voltage? Most of my AA's are the same brand but I'd like to get...

    What is the relative self-discharge rate of Li-ion?

    I've seen varying estimates on this. My recollection of most of the Li-ions I've had in laptops is that the batt life is fairly short but the self discharge rate is very gradual. Recently though I seem to remember a posted self discharge rate for Li-ions that was close to Nimh. That's got to...

    New Brink Maxfire 1W & 3W Leds at Target

    I just noticed these today and didn't see any threads on this. Has anyone bought one of these? They look quite a bit like the Maxfire except they appear to be Lux based lights that are just a little smaller and are 3XAAA powered. They are more expensive though $22.95 and 29.95 respectively. MB

    What ever happened to Silver oxide batts?

    I remember in the late 70's /early 80's I had a Canon AE-1 camera that took a small batt about half the size of an cr123 but roughly the same proportions. The battery was a Silver or Silver oxide batt and was expensive even then (about $12 apiece). That original battery lasted in the camera...

    Surefire: "AA light by the end of 2006"

    :thinking: Hmmm...I'm curious are you? Sure is interesting to hear that out of the horse's mouth since I was certain that SF wouldn't break from 123. MB

    4AA VS 4D bulb question

    I have a question about incan. bulbs rated for 4D cells as opposed to 4AA. I use these cheap automatic motion sensing lights in my hallways so that I don't have to flip lights on and off all the time (and possibly leave them on). Anyway they take either 4AA cells or the optional 6V wall...

    McE2S>>>Going the way of the dinosaur?

    I thought that I had read in a post by the man himself that he was going to phase it out. I know that Light Hound doesn't have anymore(and all but told me he couldn't get anymore). However, I was able to get another from the SS and it's on it's way to me. It doesn't appear that they're in sort...

    What's the verdict on the Gladius??

    Reading the reviews, threads etc it seems as though it's a mixed bag. I have to admit that the light looks like a true tac light and less of an enthusiast type light like say the U2. I just found out that the company (Blackhawk) is about an hour down the road from me in the Norfolk industrial...

    Am I on the brink of disaster?

    I was pretty happy with my RCR123 Nano charger and 2 protected cells I got from Lighthound until I started reading this forum. Now I'm really confused as to whether or not I'm playing with a loaded gun. If Li-ions are so dangerous then why have they powered laptops for as long as they have...

    Li-ion + Charger Rec for E1L

    Just got my E1L and I was looking at the Nano + 2 protected Li-ion 750mAh from Lighthound. I'm thinking at this point that these might be a good choice. Does anyone have any suggestions for this light? Thanks MB

    McE2s Standard (Nat HA)

    How would I go about ordering an Mce2s Standard? I'm told by McGizmo that the SS has this. I've been to the SS website and I don't see it listed and if I'm not mistaken there was no email or phone on the site??? Thanks MB

    McE2s + E1L questions

    I think I know the answers to these questions however more research and review of the Faq etc leaves me uncertain so I thought I'd ask. 1. Can I purchase just the guts and retro the original or a spare E1L tailcap? 2. Which resisitor whould cut the low setting to about 5-10 lumens...

    PLS 1W AAA Pacific>>>>KIBOSH on Arc??

    I'm wondering what these new 1 watters will do to ARC. Already the matterhorn seems to have the Arc AAA beat in temp and throw. This seems sure to widen the gap. T'will be interesting to see what they look like. MB

    Cyclops is a deal at Sam's !!!

    I was just at Bass Pro shops yesterday and they have the Cyclops flashlight (that's 1 flashlight) with 4 CR123's and an assortment of colored lenses for $39.99!! At Sam's you get 2 flashlights and 4 batts for about $20. Whatever you think of the light..."beater" etc you've got to admit it's a...

    Solitaire Drop in ????

    Is the Tek-tite with the Nichia the only actual "drop-in" available for the Solitaire? Are there any Snow or Lumi drop ins? Most of what I'm finding requires extensive modding. Thanks MB
