    GLADIUS NIGHT-OPS : ceramic coating, parasitic drain, tailcap problems ??

    A friend of mine has a new in the box Gladius that he bought long ago that has a tan ceramic coating. He said that it was only used on two occasions and is collecting dust. I have the opportunity to buy it from him at a great price. I recently read about a Milky LED upgrade for the...

    Flickering CR2 Ion, suggestions on lube please?

    I've been EDC'ing an Ion for the past several years and it has been a great light. Recently my light has started flickering on/off when the head is turned to the low setting. It flashes briefly when the switch is activated then goes off then flashes again. It won't go to steady low. I also have...

    New CR2 ION: battery rattle and flickering??

    Enrique: Thanks for addressing the previous replies made above. Per your email replies to my previous questions posted about the ION before my purchase, maybe I should have bought the light directly from you! In any case, I will once again try a thorough cleaning with no lubing and then check...

    New CR2 ION: battery rattle and flickering??

    Thank you everyone for the replies :-)! Boy, I wish I had known the ION had this history before I bought it. I thought, as many of you responded, that a light of this cost would function properly from the get go! I have only found the problem to worsen over more usage. I will try once again to...

    New CR2 ION: battery rattle and flickering??

    I just purchased a new original ION and I have concerns about battery rattle with the supplied battery station primary battery. Should I have this rattling? Also, it intermittently won't switch to the high setting when turned to that position. If I unscrew the head and then re-attach it, it...

    CR2 ION, Original or XR-E??

    speederino and DM51: thanks for the replies :-) I really don't need throw so I'll probably go for the original model. I have found over the years that for daily use the most important thing to me is general illumination indoors and at night outdoors, finding my way around in dimly lit areas. I...

    CR2 ION, Original or XR-E??

    I'm in the market for a small pocket flood light and have been eyeballing the ION. I am interested in a smooth flood light for EDC. I have read about the differences between these two versions and see that the XR-E model is more efficient and therefore, has longer runtime. I was leaning towards...

    Heliotek HTE-1 owners sign up here

    I've got two, one in the garage, the other on my boat. Superb quality but tint on mine is towards the greenish side too. Really balances nicely in the hand and the magnetic switch is tops. Comes in very handy at night on the lake when I am trying to locate my dock...throw is great! Wonder if the...

    McLuxIII-PD and Spy Owners...opinions please!

    I have been looking at both of these for awhile now. I was about to buy the PD today and saw a post about the resurrection of the Spy 005. I have the funds to buy only one of these lights. This will be my first 'high end" purchase for a bit. For those of you that own both of these, which one...

    Do any led lights stick out in your mind as being PURE WHITE PERFECT TINT?

    My new P1 is really "white" compared to my other lights . The next closest would be my Pelican M6 HAIII. It, however, looks pink compared to my P1. My first U2 appeared to be the whitest until I bought the aforementioned lights. Now it looks yellow on high, green at lower levels. I still like...

    UK eLED In a UK 2L...Anyone try this? ) or buy Inova XO(new) or Pelican M6 polymer?

    I have had a UK 2L in my glove box for MANY years and it is on the second set of batteries. I have only used the light two times when my car/broke down or had a flat at night. It was indispensible! The head is VERY hard to turn on (two hands, even though lubed). I was cleaning my car out and was...
