how many do we use on this forum? I will start..

"I dont want to ruin my adjusted night vision"
 
:thinking:

How many what... lumens?

If so the low on Novatac which I think is 0.08 is still a bit bright if you have fully dark adjusted eyes.
 
My new light has a green tint :(

What's the best light? Also, I can only spend $15.

How far does it throw?

I'm going to recommend a light to you not because it suits your needs but because I just bought it and I'm excited about it.
 
Thanks Carrot. At least you know what I was getting at. Sometimes the threads on CPF remind me of the auto reviews in the monthly auto mags.
 
Help me choose a Flashlight.


I can spend up to 20 Dollars, in a Local Store.
Don't wanna' buy Mail Order


Oh, and it's gotta' use AA alkaline batteries,
cuz' i get 'em Free at Work.



( after 20 minutes, with no responses . . . . )

(Multiply this by 1,000 -- you get the general idea)

"Why do SureFires cost so much?"

"At least the strobe is hard to get to"

"Will it take rechargeables?"

"Recommend a light for self-defense"

"I'll take it! :paypal:"

"hard anodized II"

"What's the best flashlight?"

"Why titanium?"

"My DX light broke - How can I fix it?"

"And the lights went out..."

":dedhorse:"

"Buy both"

"If you could have only one..."

Is 0.08 Lumens the legal limit for fully dark adjusted eyes?
 
I think so, any more than that and you can get done for flashing

Yea it was the fact that it posted in the LED section I was thinking torches, If it were in the General forum I would have switched my brain to conversation mode, it is funny though:laughing:
 
What's the brightest flashlight?

[You can SOOOOO tell when someone is pre-addiction]
...so I want a metal light that never needs its bulb replaced and has a push-button for on/off. And, so it's really bright, let's say at least 4 C or D batteries. Oh, and being able to focus from spot to wide is a MUST HAVE!

How many lux are in a lumen?

Is there like a really powerful flashlight that I can run directly off an AC power line? [Duh, it's called a lamp]

Anything better than a Mag-Lite?

[You can SOOOOO tell when someone is hopelessly addicted]
...so I modded my CL1H with a M61 and a UCL. I soldiered on a new XC3 driver and adjusted the PWM to a higher undetectable frequency on low-low mode. I also am now driving each die at 700 mA for a total of 2.8 A to the MC-E. I'm thinking about getting a WC tint however, so maybe I'll put this up on CPFMP and have the WC MC-E ordered and on the way before I even sell what I just modded. Yeah, but I only like flashlights for practical / work-related purposes... I'm not a silly fanboy for no reason!
[You are even more hopeless if you called my XC3 driver as b.s. ..... LOL]
 
I have the new AcmeFlashlight with an XR-E R2 smooth reflector and I can light up a quarter sized spot 4 and a half miles away... Now I got this new XP-G R5 and it only throws 3.9 miles and lights up everything.

I thought the XP-G was supposed to be better?
