    Why do LED lights still suck and why do I still use incans or HIDs, your opinions or disagreements please.

    The cooler temps might "look" easier to see, but in reality it makes it harder to see in the dark and blinds the rest of us. Honestly all headlights need to be legally required to be no more than 3000-3500k

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    Interesting, looks like it has a knob like I was thinking of using.

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    I was going to say, it seems a bit small to handle those kinds of thermals.

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    Whoa that is interesting. Who makes that? Assuming I am reading that correctly, is that really 2200 lumens? Man that is just too much, haha!

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    Well I prefer nimh for their durability, and tolerance to heat and other things. I can toss them in the truck and not worry at all. Plus I like being able to use off-the-shelf cells and such. I already have a lot of AA eneloops, and Centura C and D cells too. haha In general, I guess you...

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    Howdy all. I've been away from the forums for months now due to some personal (and family) health issues...but now I am trying to get back into my hobbies. With that said, I recently added a new-to-me soviet era flashlight to my collection and it gave me the desire to try to design a similar...

    Warm or High CRI LED Conversions for Maglite?

    I would love to know as well. I have several mags with different "builds" and I have a few new ones I'd like to setup. Generally I keep mine incan, but I'd like to setup one with a good led and aspheric lens.

    Why do you need a EDC flashlight if you have your phone?

    I'm assuming this is just for fun. But in reality the light on cell phones was not really intended for long use. They don't really have any heat sinking. And then of course there's the whole no throw thing. And I guess you could think about the fact that if you drop a flashlight it's...

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    I can absolutely say that the Acrylite FF P-99 is great. So far in all of my testing it's done nothing but improve the look of the beams, just adds a nice "blur" to smooth things out. Also, side note... the final coat of sputtering I put on the ML25IT's reflector is drying and I will hopefully...

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    The man himself! Thanks for the reply! Would this be any better or worse than using that acrylic diffusion lens from flashlightlens.com mentioned in this thread? I'll have to compare them and see, good thing I have two of these bad boys!

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    Really? I figured it wouldn't really work at all without the reflective coating. That's interesting. Ended up not having enough time this weekend to try the sputtering, so I'm going to try to do it during the week.

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    We shall see about that.... Haha, I mean hey I can try can't I? Honestly the rings look like they are caused by the reflector having odd "bumps" in it. If you look into it straight on you will see these rings.

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    Interesting I always calculated my bulbs and such off of the maximum voltage of the batteries. So for example, 4.2 volts x 2 cells = 8.4 volts. So I try to ensure whatever I am running can handle up to 8.4 volts. Is there a method to measure the voltage during use? Back to the ML25IT HOLY...

    Shoot, what's the chance of ever getting a metal reflector? :mecry:

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    Okay so I did some careful experimentation with some 18650s and the TL-3 bulb. Basically just holding it just right to get it to have contract. So I guess I must have missed this in the thread, but I really didn't expect the TL-3 to damage the stock reflector, especially not in like 5...

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    Oh sweet! Wow that's gonna be much easier to use than I thought. Haha

    New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: ML25IT

    Really? Wow I didn't know the TL-3 could handle that kind of voltage. I could of sworn it said 3.5 volts or something. Do you know what it's safe maximum is?

    P60 Xenon lamp module, spare bulbs?

    Agreed, I really wish more people saw it this way. LEDs don't last forever... By chance could you get an older p60?

    New 6D Maglight

    Ahhh yeah I'm not sure... Maybe an orange peel reflector looks better with a halogen? Hopefully! You can also try it with a aspheric lens if you have one. It's hit or miss with incandescent bulbs but it's worth trying at least
