    Jetbeam RRT-0 R5 confusion (daily mode output)

    I and a friend of mine are both considering buying a Jetbeam RRT-0 R5, but we're confused by the specs listed by websites. Some (ex: bugoutgear) list the daily mode level as 50 lumens for 7.5 hours, while some (ex: lightjunction) list it as 150 lumens for 3 hours. We'd both greatly prefer the...

    Why no 3rd party Novatac battery cases?

    I'd buy one. I'd love to see available 2xAA, 17500, 17670/2x123, and 18650 extension tubes for the Novatac EDC. With all the guys making Surefire/Aleph bodies, it seems like somebody could make them for Novatacs without too much trouble. Plus, it's an untapped market. Or is there something...

    Fenix P3D Q5 on 17670

    I'm sure this has been asked/answered before, but I can't find it specifically; searching for Fenix and batteries is like looking for 2 specific grains of sand in the Sahara. So will a P3D work with with a 17670 li-ion? Will one even fit (it'd probably be an AW cell from lighthound)? If I...

    Sold/Expired Wanted: TIR optic/domed lens from KL1

    Just the TIR optic and the lens. It's my plan to turn a Novatac 120P in to a bike light, and I like the beam pattern of a TIR over a reflector for cycling. [email protected]

    Newbie questions about first laser

    I want to get a green laser. I've already decided not to get one of those cheap <$40 lasers off ebay. Most likely I'll want a "pointer", specifically a Laserglow Lyra. But then, a Wickedlasers 15mW Classic is only $10-20 more for a 15mW. It's no longer a legal "pointer", but 3X brighter has to...

    Sold/Expired Exolion Ti 42/100 with custom UWOJ FLuPIC

    SOLD Exolion Ti 42/100 with custom UWOJ FLuPIC - Now polished! Never carried, just fiddled with at home. Not 100% perfect cosmetically, but at least 95% (sorry, no pics). No garrish scratches or dings or anything, but in the right light you might see some very light marks from handling. The...

    Sold/Expired FS: Used McLux III PD, KL4 head, Ti pocket clips and bezels

    I need some instant cash for Thanksgiving vacation (flying to Oregon for a wedding and need some new clothes), so some extra stuff is going on the block. First up is my old McLux III PD. I hate to sell it, it's such a cool light and I love it, but honestly, ever since I got an Arc4 clip and an...

    McGizmo drop-in reflector for SF L4?

    I've read that the McR-20 is a direct drop-in for the KL1 head (if you can crack it), but will it work with the KL4 head (assuming I can crack that open too)? Would it be worth doing? Ie: would it tighten up the beam any and/or eliminate any possible doughnut that might be present with the stock...

    McE2S "Flat" DIY Kit?

    I was hoping to buy a McE2S DIY Kit from the Shoppe for the E1L and L4 I just ordered, but this particular product is sold out.:ohgeez: But they do have a few of [url=http://theledguy.chainreactionweb.com/product_info.php?products_id=708]these, described as "McE2S LOTC two stage FLAT switch DIY...

    I've done what I'd sworn I'd never do (a tale of extreme flashaholism)

    After a not-so-warm-and-fuzzy experience with a Surefire L2 and their CS department, I'd sworn completely off Surefires. Then I ammended my oath to only avoid their LED models, since I couldn't resist buying (Carrot's fault) an A2 Aviator (which I've been more than happy with). So what...

    A couple Aleph 19 UV questions

    I'm about to pull the trigger on an Aleph 19 UV (from the Shoppe), but I've got a couple questions first. I'm leaning towards a 2x123A sized one, but there's 2 different kinds available. One with a Downboy 500 and one with a Nexgen 500. What's the practical difference between the two? Is the...

    Made a double convert

    At work (pizza place) I'm both the knife guy and the flashlight guy. One of my drivers needed a flashlight to replace the POS Garity incandescent (dim, brown beam). He'd gotten an Inova X5 from Target, but as we all know the X5 has less throw than a 3 year old girl. I ordered a Fenix L2T/lithium...

    Received my Jetbeam - Mixed feelings

    OK, finally received my Jetbeam Jet-1 order. I'd ordered a standard AA model with trits and a 123A tube with trits. The fit and finish on the AA tail cap, body, and head are all excellent. The tail cap isn't perfect, I've seen better, I've seen worse. Any imperfections are slight and need good...

    Great, now MY P1 isn't working right.

    It turns on fine, but if I turn it just a bit more, it flickers, and if I keep turning it, it shuts off. It's not the battery, I tried it with a Titanium, Duracell, Surefire, and even a protected R123 li-ion, and they all do this. I know it's not related to the foam ring, because it does this...

    Bunch of beamshots!

    These were taking inside my house, through a door frame, to a wall with a desk against it. Camera is a Nikon 4800. Daylight white balance (which I think exaggerates the tints), ISO 100, neutral light balance. The tints are quite exaggerated; the WO lights aren't that green, and the blue ones...

    Reverse Kroll?

    ...which makes switching easier with the Intelli head on it, but I can't help but think that a reverse clicky would make it even easier. Not that it's particularily difficult to click it fast enough to change levels as it is, but it'd be nice to speed things up (with less *click* *click* *click*).

    My first incandescent since a POS Minim@g

    Since my original LED purchases of an Arc AAA-P and a Surefire L2 a year or so ago, I've owned only LED flashlights since owning several minimags many years previous (the one I still happen to have hasn't worked in 10 years). Today I received my first "real" incandescent, a Surefire A2 (white)...

    Sold/Expired GONE! Q3 modder: 22.2x1.5mm UCL up for grabs! GONE!

    At least, I think it's a UCL. It's not plastic anyway. Warren (LITEmania) sent it to me with my Jil orders, and since I don't have a Q3, I have no use for it. First "I'll take it" gets it, just PM me your address (USA only please).

    Does anyone else own a Jil 1.3W UV?

    I got one of these a little while ago, and it just occured to me that there's little, if any mention of this light. I haven't had much experience with UV lights. I have a Photon Freedom Micro UV, which I don't think very highly of. The 370nm wavelength LED fluoresces most anything you'd expect...
