    New "old" style Surfire E2 Exexcutive Questions?

    My brother was cleaning out his toolbox and found this flashlight that was given to him by his previous boss( it is the original model that Surefire produced many years ago). Knowing that I like flashlights, he gave it to me. I mostly use LED type flashlights except for my combo Surefire A2. It...

    Tekna 2D flashlight w/battery indicator: Upgrades?

    Jeff: Thank you for your reply. Yes, last year, my bulb change only did not make much difference. I will look in to the LED drop-in route and SMJLED too. Thanks, Dave

    Tekna 2D flashlight w/battery indicator: Upgrades?

    One of my favorite old lights that I have used in my car for MANY years is my Tekna 2D with battery indicator and lever controlled spot to flood switch. I was wondering what I could do to improve its performance? Could a LED conversion be done without harming the light( it is all plastic)? Any...

    SL Scorpion Bulb Replacement Problems!!

    I've had my Scorpion for many years and it has functioned superbly until now. The light had petered out so I replaced the batteries , to no avail. I then removed the old bulb(very snug) and while doing so the metal cap came off dropping the spare bulb which I had forgotten was there. Much to my...

    Any other rechargeables better than Strion?

    Thanks! I personally like and own Surefires but I think it is out of his budget. He moved to LA and he has to watch his $$ due to increase cost of living. Since he has the chargers, maybe just replacing the light would be most cost effective. Dave

    Any other rechargeables better than Strion?

    If he decides to just replace the Strion, he can probably save a few dollars by locating a source that will just sell the light separately, since he already has the charger(s). Thanks for the reply! I didn't even think about the chargers he already has! I'll check out the Stinger and see how...

    Any other rechargeables better than Strion?

    Hi guys: I bought my nephew a Strion set-up about two years ago and he used it daily until recently lost. He is an electrician and is constantly crawling through dark attics and crawl spaces. He said he was pleased with the light for the most part but was wondering if there might be a better...

    Digilight 43mm Miniturbo head: Beautiful

    Hi Paul: Glad to hear you are starting to receive your parts. I have never taken any beam shots, but I have a Canon 10D intraoral camera set-up at work and would be happy to try :-) I am sure I can figure it out, OR if there are any guys out there with pointers to save me time on the settings...

    SF A2: How to tell current model?

    leukos; TY for the reply. I have an A2 with the scalloped bezel, long clip, long lanyard which attaches to a ring around the end cap area. The body is generally round but has several flat areas one of which the clip rests on. I presume this is the newer version. Flash_ Gordon: sounds like what...

    SF A2: Rechargeables, anyone have success yet?

    Just received my A2 this week and what a great light. I have read in the past that there was a problem finding a rechargeable sysytem that properly functions in this light. Has anyone had any success yet? If so, is it safe? Thanks! Dave
