Have bought some lights and now I have some questions.
I bought a modded Solarforce with a NailBender that takes 18650 batteries, has just a 1 position (high) clickie. What is the nailbender?? What makes this so special compared to other lights?? Is this a Cree Light??
Recently wanted to buy a Stock Solarforce and the ordering is very confusing to a NOOB.
Crenelation is this a thread in bezel??? Flat Bezel or Crenelation?
1 mode, 3 mode or 5 mode drop in, LC-XPG (r-5 Single mode 0.8v to 4.2v) or (r-5 single mode 3v to 18v) ? I don`t know what this means I want to use 18650 protected or unprotected cells about 2200 mah.
Solarforce Cree XML Dropin: Solarforce 3.7v 3 mode Cree XML drop in? Is a CREE just a type of LED that is used in these lights?? If I select the Solarforce Cree XML do I still need to get the other drop in (1 mode, 3 mode, or 5 mode??)
I am assuming the Cree XML is the head portion, and the mode drop in is the tail cap switch, am I correct??
Thanks for your help I am just starting to dabble in this new facination, however I think I have started to amass some nice lights so far: Surefire 9P non-LED light about 13 years old, Solarforce Light with Nailbender, And I just ordered Steve Ku`s awesome little light the 40DD. Just very confusing for my simple mind.
Thanks Vince
