    Any runners here? need headlamp help..

    Like you, I was skeptical of headlamps, and then I tried one. Moving your head to move the light is so intuitive and natural that I wouldn't run with anything else. My wife has a Princeton Tec EOS headlamp, and I've done some running with it at night. It's light enough that it didn't bounce...

    NEW SF Filters are up on Website

    The Butler Creek covers don't sit flat when they're open. They're spring-loaded and spring open to a position a little more than 45* from the scope body, and they can be pushed back a little further to a bit less than 45*. (These angles are approximate, I don't have a protractor handy.)...

    Want LED+crank+am/fm+cell phone charger

    The Grundig FR-300 has everything you're looking for, but it's more expensive ($50). It's also more of a radio with a bunch of other stuff built in than a flashlight, though it does have LEDs on it.

    Pimp my D3, or, What can I do with a 3-cell P-series?

    I thought the current KL3 was the one with the Fresnel lens? At any rate, I'll definitely look into a beamshaper for it.

    Pimp my D3, or, What can I do with a 3-cell P-series?

    Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to keep it pretty low-key for now and get a KL3. I'll probably pick up one of the Cabela's heads too since they're pretty cheap. I wish the SRTH wasn't so dang expensive.

    Pimp my D3, or, What can I do with a 3-cell P-series?

    Hey folks. I got a D3 right after they were discontinued by Surefire (for the unfamiliar it's basically a 9P with a pocket clip). Until now it's remained stock - and it's a good light just the way it is - but I've been overcome by the urge to do something else with it. So, I've been trying...

    Dummy reference guide to SF A2 modding with MJ led (or 35k 5mm) leds

    The tailcap guard is next on my list! I also followed your link to the Mini-mag modding guide, which inspired me to throw one of my extra SMJs (I bought a 5-pack) into the 20+ year old Mini-mag that was sitting in a drawer. Direct drive, just trimmed the leads and drilled the reflector, works...

    Dummy reference guide to SF A2 modding with MJ led (or 35k 5mm) leds

    I just performed this mod on my A2. I used uncut SMJs that I got from the Sandwich Shoppe. I did have to grind down the ledge at the base of the LEDs, which I did by chucking each one in my drill and hitting it with a small file. Other than that I just swapped them straight in, and was done...

    Streamlight Syclone and 4AA ProPolymer bulbs: Interchangeable?

    Hi folks, Does anyone know if the Syclone bulbs can be used in the 4AA Pro Polymer, or vice versa? I'd like to use both lights in earthquake preparedness kits and keeping spares would be much easier if I could use one type of bulb for both lights. I checked Streamlight's web site and while...

    Emerson / Buck Strider

    What do you intend to use the knife for? The Buck Strider is a fairly large and rough-handled knife, and wasn't something that I found comfortable to carry in my pocket. Many of the Emerson designs can be easily pocketed. I had a Strider for a while and wouldn't hesitate to choose it for a...

    Tritium paint vs. Tritium filled vials

    Tritium paint is nowhere near as bright as tritium vials. I have a couple of watches with tritium paint on the hands. It has to be almost completely dark in order to see them glow. My Luminox is visible even in a not-very-dark room. In a completely dark room it's very bright - it even casts...

    Luminox

    The only other watches with tritium vials that I've ever seen are made by Ball Watch Company. I think they're even more expensive than the Luminox watches.

    Luminox

    I've had a Luminox for a few months now. It still surprises me how brightly it glows - it doesn't have to be very dark at all to be easily visible. I think it'll turn out to be another one of those things I can't live without after getting used to it.
