    Significant, Inexpensive Maglite Upgrade

    OP, thanks for the info, glad it worked out well for you. Wonder if they have a drop in that will work with my 40yr old 5-D (blue model) mag? I've looked before but all the ones I looked at I would have to change the reflector and a bunch of other stuff. I really have plenty of led lights...

    The,what light did you get for Christmas thread.

    I didn't get any torches for Christmas but yesterday I decided to order me a Olight M2R Cu warrior to join my Olight copper collection. Wife will no doubt shake her head in disgust but.....Merry Christmas to me....lol. Really kicking myself for not buying a R50 copper before they quit making them.

    TM26 Display dead

    Guess no one else has had this problem with their TM series.....lol. Just an update to let everyone know Nitecore does stand behind their product (at least in my case). I contacted the Nitecore store in TX and told them about my problem, got a swift reply wanting to know the purchase date and...

    TM26 Display dead

    Just wondering if anyone with a Nitecore TM26 has had their OLED display go south on them? It is the model that came out in 2013 with the white display. Mine has gotten dimmer and dimmer over the last 6-8 months and now it is pretty much dead. I bought it in Nov. of 2013 so guess the warranty...

    Thrunite is going to release a new lightsaber

    Looks sweet for $59.99. I am wondering where this will ship from, China? I see they partner with Amazon on a lot of their orders, I wouldn't mind getting one if it ships through them but don't really want to wait forever to get one from China.

    USB rechargeable flashlight for car?

    Re: USB Rechargeable Flashlight For Car? Just my $.02, I have a wireless thermometer for our chest freezer with two sensors in the freezer. I have Energizer L91 AAA batteries in them and they have been going strong for over 1-1/2yrs. I pull them out every few months to check them on my Zts...

    XTAR "Over 4 Slim" Charger

    I really like the looks of this! Finally a charger that can sit on the desk and not have the usual black chunk of plastic look. I like the looks of the black and blue model, pretty sharp. Don't really need another charger, only thing I would be charging at that high of current would be my...

    Stories about accidental drop tests

    About a month ago I was installing new water lines for the mother in laws kitchen sink. I had my favorite edc (Olight S2 CU) stuck to a water pipe via the magnetic tail cap. It was working great and made a real nice work light for me while I was installing the new Pex pipe. Well I happened to...

    Pre-Release From XTAR: WK16 Venus!

    B20 pilot here also, had it for a few years and use it everyday at work. No problems what so ever and love it!! Only thing I had to do was tighten up the ring that holds the switch in the tail cap, no biggie. Can't wait to watch your video.

    "Best" battery for an Olight S2?

    Not sure if you're just looking for battery dimensions or not, but I have the S2 copper and I run Orbtronic 3400mah protected in mine which measure 18.6mm x 68.9mm, fit nicely. I don't know if the copper and aluminum model S2's will accept the same size batteries or not, I would assume so?. Good...

    Apple usb charger question

    Not sure if money or size is a factor for you, but I have the XTAR U1 Six-U and love it!! It gives me plenty of power and the 6 usb slots always come in handy when using my Xtar chargers and torches that are rechargeable via usb port.

    Looking for maintenance and care advice for Lithium ion battery pack

    Nice to see a fellow RC heli enthusiast on here. Yes LiPo fires are very scary to say the least!! I store mine in vented ammo cans which are stored in a large metal cabinet. Sorry to drift off topic.

    Question from a fairly new C-9000 user

    You got me wondering about this so I had to check my manual to see what it says. I believe from this statement in the warnings section, there must not be any reverse polarity protection. Glad I looked just to be on the safe side, I will be extra careful not to reverse mine. From the C-9000...

    Looking for maintenance and care advice for Lithium ion battery pack

    ifoxbox, please do yourself a favor and go to the site I posted in post #10, there is a vast amount of hands on knowledge there on LiPo packs. LiPo packs are not something to misuse, if you don't believe me do a search on YouTube for LiPo fires. Hope you are enjoying your Phantom, I have a DJI...
