Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Hello,
Welcome to the Ra Twisty and Clicky information repository. This is a place where I gather links regarding Ra lights and attempt to organize them. Each link will generally lead to a single-post view, some may not. I've done my best to give a short description of the content in each link. Recently (2009) there has been an explosion of information/repeat information about the Ra Clicky, to the extent that I am not able to recover links on-the-fly. Over time I will search the archived threads and parce links into this post.

Please provide links to information you think is suitable for this thread when you find/make them. I only have two eyes and one brain, and the three of them don't always work well together. The more of you provide key information, the more we all become better informed.

Scroll down below the Twisty links for Ra Clicky links and info!
