    Best balance of lux and run time?

    For household use, I actually recommend having at least 1-2 lightwave lights since they have decent output(just enough to navigate around or as general background light) and great for emergency prepareness. Though it is not comparable to lux output, the runtime with the 5mm leds are ultra long...

    from where to buy Nite-Ize IQ switch

    Thanks for the data, I now won't hold my breath to receive these switches. For a little while, I thought these will be the ultimate one-stop switch for every minimag modders...it seems like we still have a long way to go. But the good thing is there is one more items to mod and destroy now...

    AAA "clone" part II: would thicker O-ring's help?

    voodoogreg, I put in a SMJ in the AAA clone(and applied GID powder under the led), it turned out to be a very decent EDC for abusing and daily use. With li AAA battery(not rechargable, just the normal 1.5v), the output of the modded light is actually comparable to ARC-P with the same...

    I guess that too is a sad news to hear--I still haven't gotten one yet, but do hope the interference of the output is because of the lux bin but not about the convertor board...but as Millermod puts it, the runtime for sure will probably be much lessen. And now even the MJ might not work, and I...

    gl22man, Thanks for the review, and others who had gotten their switch and written their comments about the conductor. I am no EE person, but from the feedback here, I got the vibe that it doesn't sound like it is going to be a total 'kroll' or Terralux clickie TCS-1 replacement, since it does...

    Mr_light, So is the "auto-off" a necessary feature of the IQ switch or your test result showed that it is not?(I sure hope not, since it will take away its emergency candle-light potential) And it does work with Shoppe's Madmax sammy? :popcorn:

    Arc-AAA Premium vs. Photon freedom x2

    KevlarSix, There is an obvious difference in battery setup, but by the end of the day, how 'bright' or what kind of beamshot from the flashlight will depend on the led, optics and electronics used in the light. IIRC, one major difference between the two lights is ARC AAA-P has regulation and a...

    My comparative LED performance measurments (Lux, Vf, Eff., Temp)

    Re: My comparative LED performance measurments... DF, Most fantastic work!! :bow: :thumbsup: Very interesting to see how the SxxH when compared to UxxJ for performance. I kinda wonder if we were to allow more time to run(10-15 min), will the SxxH's performance decline a bit due to the...

    New U2- now with only 5 levels

    Something definitely does not sound right here, I recently got another U2 and I noticed there are some differences between the old and the new(smoothy selector, plastic sleeve and a slight delay when changing the levels), but no levels were lacking in the new light. For two new 2 primary...

    lux1's are just renamed lux3's?

    Don't have the lux with me right now, but I kinda also wonder whether one could tell by the 'tint shift' when you powered both same tinted lux at 350ma...the lux I should probably outputing where its intended tint color of light where lux III might shift a little warmer since it is underdriven...

    Photon III alert

    Funny that you mentioned the mod, I just put in a Nichia U bin in my one of my Photon IIIs, and was comparing it to my Photon Freedom....still the Freedom must have either win the lottery since the still is noticeable brighter than my mod(a good 30-40% visually). As for the mod, the soldering...

    Photon III alert

    I had been using the PIII for almost a year now, and am happy to report they work perfectly. The light is intended to be a backup light and most majority of the time it is left in the 1 min auto-off mode. I used to have keychained my Photon freedom but did not like the lack of auto-off...

    Y or V bin code [Lux V]

    :drool: Is it for real?! I know so many had already expressed their feelings or interest in the lux, but in case they all default, I won't mind to be in line.... Congrats on the Jackpot!! :)

    Bushnell Flashlights

    Changchung, I like it a lot, it is a lux III light which has multiple level of setting, strobe, sos and the best part is the battery indicator at the end of the clickie tailcap which the green led will turn red if the battery is too low. Also, user could select the stages by rotating the...

    Just bought the nite ize 3 led minimag drop-in

    If I remember correctly from the pictures that have RAM and NiteIze clickie(from the led upgrade combo) taken apart, they are essentially the same switch. That clickie is really soft to press on and off, and if you do like clickie, I would personally recommend the Terralux TCS-1 clickie which...

    So..my dad's 9LED chinese light puts out more light than my Fenix...

    Garage boy, Don't be surprised by the result, the 5mm does actually get much brighter than it used to be...however, one thing for sure, so as long it is not multiple times brighter than the Fenix, I would think Fenix should have a better throw than the 9 5mms. :)

    AlexSchira, But with the new auto-off at 14.5, I don't think you can though--especially it is the only light source you have and it wants to turn dark every 15 min. Greenled, I see where you are coming from, and to some extent, yes it is probably a good solution to those who might...

    from where to buy Nite-Ize IQ switch

    Oh, this is way too early for an April fool joke, but sure it reads like one!!! After all this wait, and the auto-off is back on?! I thought it will be really nice not to have it since it totally defeat the purpose of candlemode--just imagine you are in some kind of emergency(say fixing...

    Yikes! Another delay?! I had been waiting for this switch for the longest time, and hopefully, there is no auto-turn-off when it is finally released in Jun...or the user could turn off the auto-turn-off. :popcorn:

    greenLED goes to the movies...

    What Steve77 said, now I got a reason to use my Inova or KL1 with TIR. Funny that you brought this story up, I went to a theater last week along with friends, and where I live, there are assigned seatings for movies--the personnel showed us the way to our seats but didn't bother to point...
