    Best infinite light adjustment led flashlight recommendations

    I have owned many of the "ring" control lights - and like others here - I have experienced failure or other issues during the lifetime of ownership - however - with that said the new 2022 year model or newer - JetBeam RRT01 Raptor has easily won me over - it has a 18350 battery that is great for...

    SBT 90 is not made anymore - so the latest version should have the 90.2

    I have no idea what you are talking about - there is no throttling - where did you get that impression - this light is an absolute BEAST - and worth every penny - You might need to consider a cheaper alternative - I can certainly understand that - but don't bad mouth an exceptionally engineered...

    They did get the situation resolved - they also changed their battery pack (capacity and definitely chemistry) - upgraded a bit also - now 5000mah/36WH/7.2V I have not taken it apart to see the new cells - i will get around to it eventually - anybody else get the new battery and take her apart...

    Flashlight with very low brightness modes?

    The RRT0 Raptor is not stepped - the 2022 version is mag ring infinite - and yes there are plenty of reasons to get a light lower than 3-5 lumens - middle of the night and don't want to wake anyone up - bathroom walk or reading a book in bed - i do this all the time - works great.

    Flashlight with very low brightness modes?

    The new mag ring lights are not offered as much as they used to - but the current generation - (I don't know what iteration they are on) are vastly better than the older ones. I can turn my Jet Beam all the way down to a point that i can barely see the led illumination in a black out room - and...

    Flashlight with very low brightness modes?

    The new Jet Beam with the infinite ring on a single batt is awesome. I've got the older ring adjustable and recently got the newer version - most definitely a big improvement RRT-01 Raptor I believe it is called - mine came with a rechargeable cell.

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    Sure Fire was not even aware of this issue until i brought it to their attention. It was a Moli engineer that explained it to me (they stopped using this chemistry entirely because of this problem) Sure Fire has stated that they are looking into this and will get back to me with more info when...

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    @Desert.Snake - Thanks for the link to the battery page - I read that it is not recommended to charge the lithium ion in series - can anyone explain why this is, and by looking at the internals of the SF battery pack - "if" i were to put unprotected (or protected) lithium ion cells instead of...

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    @Desert.Snake - I would tend to agree with your thoughts as they relate to general reference to "power and current" however when looking for a "drop-in" replacement cell there are many things to consider - the biggest one for me is charging the lithium battery in series (as it is definitely not...

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    ok guys and gals - I did some homework after i opened my SF battery housing (thanks to @Desert.Snake - but what a complete PITA it was to get those dam rings out- WOW!) - It seems that a company in Canada was the original maker of the battery - they have since moved away from this size. These...

    Any more progress with other battery chemistries or sizes to get the "oem" charger functionality working again? My battery pack seems to have randomly stop working all of a sudden - (very odd) was working great and just out of the blue - the red blinks of death that don't stop until i remove the...

    One EDC flashlight to rule them all.

    You might want to do some research prior to swapping the emitter - This light has a mag control and changing the led may render it completely useless. There are several threads on this exact subject here on CPF..
