    Disaster Light for Emergency workers

    The standard fire requires that we deploy within minutes, operate at a high intensity for 2-8 hours, then take up and go home. We rely entirely on kit kept on the engine for our time in the field. This is our bread and butter op. When a large area is impacted, such as a monster storm...

    Disaster Light for Emergency workers

    Thank you everyone for your input. This is a disaster light for emergency services, so it will not be a common use device. The alkaline batteries we buy in bulk are low bid, complete crap, so the premise of a quartermaster showing up to save the day is a 'no-go'. If we did explore the 21700...

    Disaster Light for Emergency workers

    Hi folks... I'm a veteran firefighter / medic nearing retirement and looking for a little advice. I've been asked to design a kit that each rookie firefighter will be issued to get them through a 3 day op where NO support or resupply will occur. Imagine an engine crew responding to a...

    Is it dangerous to use propane in butane lighter?

    Butane is more energetic than propane. The lighter may under-perform, but I cannot think of anything that would make it more dangerous.

    Concensus charger and battery solution for 18650?

    Ultra long running lights

    In 1999, hurricaine Floyd hit New Jersey....lightly. My team ran for about 40 hrs straight...non-stop. New Jersey is very heavily populated, the structures are not hurricaine rated, flooding is a problem and much of the infrastructure and road system dates back at least a hundred years. A...

    Ultra long running lights

    I've been looking at the x5...does the lack of a reflector result in less illumination? I'll have to look at the 24x7...not familiar with it. Consider me clueless on this stuff. I really do appreciate the help.

    Ultra long running lights

    Will the Cree lights be inside the ~$40-$50 cost range. This is a municipal bid, the penny pinchers are pretty tough to sell on more than that.

    Ultra long running lights

    I'l looking for an extra long runnning torch (24 hours+). I believe that will probably limit me to simple LED arrays and larger batteries. I've found that most 5 led arrays produce enough light for my needs and I can live with something as large as three "C" cells. Unit cost should run under...
