Hello, first post here, but I've been lurking a while. If there is a more appropriate place for this thread, it seems that the moderators are on top of things here and it will be taken care of… Found this place by way of EDC forums, and British Blades where someone had posted the fire lighting with flashlight video. I was compelled to find out more. Then I find out about maglite mods, tank lights and higher power LEDs.
I might as well start out insulting you all. You all seem pretty bright, (yes, very punny, I am) but have issues. Apparently some level of functional OCD combined with a fear of the dark has brought you together, in some sort of web-based spontaneous group encouragement/ therapy. I may just fit in...
But anyhow, enough about you, lets talk about me. Way back in the mid 90's, I purchased a surefire 6p(impressive, but I was to cheap to rely on it as a regular user) to mount on my shotgun and until recently relied on the basic sporting goods/ hardware store lights for my portable lighting needs. Used mainly when camping, I have relied on maglites, and my favorite camp light is a black diamond ion headlamp. Not super bright, but small, reliable and good enough to read or cook with. Also I seem to have the little clip-on lights from county comm clipped all over the place from jacket collars to clipboards.
Then I found this place…to make a long story short, I to date I have ordered, new 9p, a KL3 module, a Jet Beam MKII and a 123 tube (it currently rides in my pocket now -- did not need to pocket EDC a light, until I found out I could) The good wife fell in love with it, so I ordered another one for her. Then I felt a need for more power, and now I am waiting (impatiently, but courteously) for one of Gene43's drop ins for my 3D mag, (and now trying to figure how to justify on of these: http://store.oldgrouch.biz/swarspandge.html
I fear this may only be the beginning…I have way too many knives; soon I'll have a matching light for every knife.
And SWMBO won't be happy.
But, any how that's my story up until now, I have much to learn. The first is, and I should have asked long before, is what happens when a KL3 is put on a 9 p
…now the question is what can be done to upgrade/mod this module and make it work again, preferably even better than new…I'm open to suggestions…
Also I have a half dozen or so old angle head lights (2D) from my Army days...any suggestions there?
And another question:
What is the thread for in the bottom of the jetbeam 123 tube there for?
