    Fenix TK76

    Looks pretty scifi! I hope it will have some kind of auto-dimming feature like the Nitecore sens or the Patzl Nao. BTW, there are empty slots above the flood lights. Are those merely the heat sink design or is Fenix planning to put something (more LEDs) there?:devil:

    Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? (for lights and more)

    Re: Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? I think a 3D LED Maglite (or Fenix TK60 if u can afford) with 2 sets of batteries would be enough for a week to light up a room. You could use them when the family is together. I would mainly use AA format lights. Such as the Fenix LD...

    With 2013 LED technology- who has switched back to AAs for their flashlights?

    For me, it's more like switching from 2xCR123 to single CR123s. My Fenix LD20 R4 is still one of my most used light though.

    CPF on twitter?

    Haven't seen any CPF members on twitter or a CPF twitter account. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could manage an account or something and give updates? Or just for CPF members to get to know each other more... honestly there aren't many flashaholics where I live.

    How Reliable Are All These Flashlights?

    hmm, i never had much troubles with jeatbeam/nitecore and olights even with rather heavy use. Maybe you could try a Surefire and see how long that will last you. BTW, have you tried to clean your lights? Many of the problems seems to be related to the electronic parts; there might be too much...

    ReviewTheLight: Olight M3X Triton

    Re: ReviewTheLight: Olight M3X Triton [In Progress] The mugshot is awesome! I tried it on my Jetbeam PA40, and it turned out great, OP reflectors look very nice in mugshots!

    2005 Inova T2 - specs and comparison to today's units

    Inova does't state what LED they use, however I assume it would be a Cree. The older models used Luxeon chips which had a significantly lower efficiency and output. Old T2 had an output of about 80-100 lumens whereas the new T2 has over 200 lumens. So there should be a significant increase of...

    CR123A expiration - what happens when they "expire"?

    So lithiums don't leak like alkalines even after they expired?

    $$$ keeping you away from what light?

    If i would have unlimited money, i would have all the flashlights on earth! But otherwise, I'd get a Polarion HID first if I got the money.

    Brand Reliability

    I've been using Fenix and Olights for a few years now, and they never had problems. (once i had to tighten the tailcap in my LD20, but it was an easy fix) Maglites also seem to be reliable, but I've experienced issues with sticky switches.

    Disappointment: PAK-LITE (aka 9V Light) runs longer on high using Alkalines vs Lith's

    Alkalines work better than lithiums on low draw devices. That's because of the linear discharge curve of the alkaline compared to the S shaped curve of lithiums.

    What is your perfect length for a EDC flashlight?

    For me, the diameter is more important. I've carried both longer (2AAA) and shorter lights (CR123) and have found that I can tolerate anything between 3-6 inches, but it must use AAAs.

    Why is it Maglites are so low output relative to how many cells they can have?

    I don't think they are that dim... ~100 lumens for their D cells. They don't use the newest and highest output LEDs to keep down the cost. The relatively lower output also gives it more burn time on a set of batteries, since using multi brightness circuits would add to the cost.

    Whats the deal with Jetbeam?

    Just realized that jetbeam's website is not loading... Is the company still running? or they have switched to Nitecore?

    New Surefire Lights at SHOT Show 2013

    The Annihilator looks like a beast! The beam of the TIR lights like the M6LT looks gorgeous, can't imagine it with 4000 lumens!

    Fenix e21 peoblem?

    If it's not the tailcap, then try cleaning the contacts/threads and changing batteries. Otherwise send it to repair.

    CREE's neutrals have an ugly tint. Why all the fanfare for XPG or XML neutral lights?

    This looks very similar to me cool white JetBeam PA40.
