    I ended up getting a Nite Ize at walmart for all of $8 and been pretty happy with it.

    Help! First time modding (LED soldering a Fulton)

    Failure. Soldiered it all together but didnt work. Thinking the two Ds don't have enough combined volts to light the LED assembly. I need a minimum of 4.5 V that will fit nicely in a fulton body.

    Help! First time modding (LED soldering a Fulton)

    Here you go. So in test I hooked the led assembly up to a 6v square and hooked the - and + up. The middle wire I tapped to the - which caused it to hop from single led mode to 8 led mode to all leds. Not sure how this will work with the Fulten switch.

    Help! First time modding (LED soldering a Fulton)

    I have an old Fulton mx-991\U here and LED guts from a chinese bike head lamp. I know this is junk but I need the practice and its a little upgrade. The bike ran off 3 AAAs so hoping a couple of D cells should make it run a long time. Heres a picture of the LED driver with switch, what should I...

    Fenix or Olight worth the extra money over a Romisen on Ultrafire?

    Fenix or Olight worth the extra money over a Romisen on Ultrafire?

    Well the Romisen R5 is all of $25 bucks. If I wanted to go more throw less flood in the same quality but price limit whats a good option. For example I'd like the R5 for the nightstand for checking a noise in the backyard but I'd also like another option with long throw for seeing deep in the...

    Fenix or Olight worth the extra money over a Romisen on Ultrafire?

    Joe the ITPs look awesome and the reviews back them up. I'm going to get an A6 but are there some cheaper models of itp or MG you recommend that are in the 25 to 35 buck range besides keychain lights? What do you think of the Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 LED? Isn't the XP-G R5 the latest and greatest?

    Will the NiteIze give me compatible light with longer life? How significant of amount is the upgrade?

    Fenix or Olight worth the extra money over a Romisen on Ultrafire?

    I think this is a great point so let me ask it this way: What are the best models in the $15 to $25 range, $40 to $55 range and 1"ish rifle mountable options (with compatible pressure caps). My priorities for each price point are in order are throw, reliability, true lumens, size/weight, modes...

    Fenix or Olight worth the extra money over a Romisen on Ultrafire?

    Seems very similar but more price but assuming can take a whack better. Any opinions here, not sure what to buy.

    Converting an old military FL to LED

    I'm wanting to do a Cree P4 in one, what would be involved? (keep in mind i'm a newb, so any and all instructions would be nice). If that works out well would really like to do a Cree XP-G R5 with MC38 reflector with a heatsink just to see if I can push this old dog to the limit.

    That is neat but how bright is it?

    Frankenlight challenge: Best homebrew flashlight for $50 in parts

    Assuming you start with nothing but a soldering iron and some solder what would be the best way to go? Or for that price range would I just be better with an Ultrafire or Romisen?

    Is there one of the above better than another or are they all roughly equal quality/output etc?

    First Post: Convert mil Angelhead to a Cree MC-E with MC38 reflector

    Going to start off with the standard reflector and a Cree P4 to start but thinking about what I seen here and trying to beef it up to a brighter platform. I dont know let all the terminology of throw, lumens, lux and such (trying to read the wiki now but my head hurts) Priorities: 1: extreme...
