    Streamlight TL-2?

    I don't recall such tower module that only output ~350lm back then. I do own the initial release model back in 2016, with a 1.5A buck driver and already advertised at ~800lm, if I remember correctly. This very copy however does not focus well inside the (incan) Scopion's head assy and cannot...

    Streamlight TL-2?

    Does the Scorpion use the same incan bulb socket as on the TL-2? If so then the focusing mechanism should be the same. However when you slap in an LF LED tower upgrade (as mentioned on my post earlier) then the entire focusing mechanism becomes void and unusable.

    Streamlight TL-2?

    Do you mean this upgrade? https://www.lumensfactory.com/en/product_detail.php?pid=380 I've used earlier batches of this one and they work great. I don't have TL-2 (incan), only Scorpion (incan), but results should be the same.

    Surefire 9P late batch (new logo) -- to HAIII or not?

    I originally didn't like the newer-logoed SF bodies either, which prompted me to consider the HAIII redo, also knowing that the newer batch has metal substrate that allows for a better Hard Clear shading finish. In the end I abandoned the HAIII redo on this 9P in question, not only because the...

    Do you use the Mini-Maglite butt cap lanyard hole?

    Can you please clarify which Stremlight Jr you own? Is that the older one with a Kroll-like (J1052) switch, and can you post pics on that tail switch? And are you saying that this very switch does NOT fit into the incan MagAA at all?

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    Can't depend on SF CS these days, as in recent years they have a tendency to deprecate older model support, as parts run out. And even if SF could replace the tailcap in question, we would end up with another otherwise fine tailcap (short of a good boot) destined for shredding and such. What a...

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    First of all, which tool did you purchase for such disassembly? Is it the three-prong tool from LF, or something else? If indeed you have the LF tool concerned, then it's probably the tailcap disassembly approach/skill that gets in the way. Have you tried heating up the G2X tailcap (eg. heat...

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    To describe a MagAA being "hot wired" can be confusing. Some had, in the past achieved high-power incandescent mods within the MagAA system. I didn't remember much of the detail regarding such real "hot wiring" mod but I doubt any of those tail switch options (including the J1052) could...

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    I seem to recall that the NiteIze switch also didn't yield good fitment on the MagAA's tail side. The same issue also goes to Terralux's tailcap as well; I bought some new ones years ago but realized they didn't fit onto just any MagAA body. So those switches had to be returned. And since...

    And who modded this 3D setup? Icarus or someone else?

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    No it's NOT. This is the NiteIze switch I was referring to, the one that yields decreased overall output (even at high setting) due to increased internal resistance etc. within the tailcap chassis. Fun to novices and other budget users, not quite so to higher-end MagAA modders.

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    There are a few online vendors that sell the Kroll J1052-inspred Streamlight switch, albeit in limited quantities. New ST Jr. users won't care about them as the newer ST Jr. has a completely reworked tail thread/switch config which refrains totally from the Kroll setup. The ones I spotted on...

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    I checked the product lineup from Litt's site. Definitely not very impressive. The only two things that I may be interested in, are the crenellated bezel rings and the "metal" reflector for the MagAA upgrade. However, the latter is not available as a separate item, plus I don't know how well...

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    I didn't mean to be snippy. Maybe a tinge too critical instead. So yes I get it he was trying to help, but he didn't seem to get my point, and yes, he went way too over.

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    @aznsx This thread discussion is on the Kroll switch variants in question only, NOT the rest of the MagAA accessory upgrade matrix and such. Please stay on topic! The Litt company offers, I've seen them on eB. Relatively cheap, but not amused at all. Reminds me of the very ancient bi-pin...

    Kroll switch question (Judco J1052 vs. Streamlight 715007)

    Currently there are NO J1052s available anywhere, not even at the Sandwich Shoppe (where the last inventory count was "-88"). I've been aware of the Streamlight switch variant which has been used in early incarnations of the Streamlight Jr. model, and features full metallic thread areas (unlike...

    Surefire 9P late batch (new logo) -- to HAIII or not?

    Thanks all for your suggestions. Think I'll keep this 9P in stock and limited to just the said two reversible mods. Which is a pity though, as I know the HAIII OD would turn out great. But like some have mentioned, in order to retain the item's maximum value, I'll have to let the HAIII OD...

    Surefire 9P late batch (new logo) -- to HAIII or not?

    Folks, some years ago I procured a near-mint 9P from eB which apparently is from a later batch and features new (current) SF logo marking. Nowever, not being a fan of HAII finishes I intend to have this 9P host stripped and reanodized in HAIII through a reputable metal processing facility...

    I want a dual channel 18650 charger...

    Actually, I disagree with your move. It is equally risky to leave such USB connection full-time (ie. with the cable dangling) while the connected equipment is not in use, which also complicates storage. The USB Micro-B connection is already quite weak, even though on the cable connector side...

    I want a dual channel 18650 charger...

    The VP2 is an all-time favorite despite its MY2022 discontinuation. However, it has suffered from some QC issues, namely the rear USB output (under powerbank mode) which is unstable and can disconnect intermittently, and the rear slide switch (for switching cell termination voltages) which can...
