So I've built a modded mag with an onboard charging socket. All works fine. Today it just occured to me that when in use the socket it still conected to the battery pack. If I were to insert a metal object, say like a drawing pin or paper clip, into the charging socket an make a...

Thursday evening on my drive home we (I car share) found a car on its side in front of us. Bits of car all over the place. Dust in the air, it had just happened. Two cars infront did a three point turn a drove off, nice. My friend called it in, “all three” he replied when asked “which service do...

I recently received a UKPK fitted with replacement scales made from Carbon Fibre which I am fantastically delighted with. Here’s some pics I took down at the beach, as you know Carbon Fibre is a pig to photograph, and I’m no expert behind the camera. The UKPK is perfect. I really like...
Here's one for the SAK fans, I scored this at the weekend form another forum. It's been fully rebuilt with 2mm Ti scales and a custom Ti clip. Really nice and light, you could forget you had it in your pocket.
Never seen this before, BBC News "A special drug torch used by police to catch people who snort cocaine is now being used by door staff at pubs and clubs in Blackburn" Anyone know how they work?
Having just re read through this post it appears very long, please bear with me, I need your help…….. Oh boy, where to start. OK, well I guess for the last 6 to 9 months not everything has been going too well in our marriage. It was little things at first, like she started keeping her mobile...
I've built a 2D mag running three Cree XRE LED's. Each LED is powered by one Micropuck SHO 500mA. I think these draw approx 750mA from the batteries per micropuck, so a total of around 2.25A. What would happen if you run it on alkaline batteries? I'm guessing 2.25A is too much current draw for...
Here we go, some Vintage lights made in Wales. The company made lights for down the mines, and the designs were also used for domestic lights. Cica 1900 to 1950, so I've been told. From left to right - 2D Chrome, 3D Copper, 3D Worn out finish?, 3D Chrome. And no they didn't use Cree LED's all...

WTB – Micropuck boost drivers (to be shipped to UK) I’m looking for three Micropuck boost drivers. I’m not concerned over which rating they are, as long as all three are the same. I should point out I live in the UK, so seller will have to be willing to ship abroad [I don’t think shipping will...
Ok so I have just managed to buy a Fenix L1T/L2T CR2 and CR123 body tubes last week in the marketplace B/S/T. I know these were both made for the first version of the L1T and L2T, but has anyone tried them on the latest L1T or L2T v2.0 ??

Has anyone ever run a 500mA Micropuck driver off a single AAA battery? I was just wondering what output you would get with this setup? I'm guessing you would get less than half the output you get with two cells, so approx 200mA ??
