New TNC Owner

The module can be removed. You have to turn it clockwise. The threads are backwards, so try to tighten it in the conventional way and it should come right out.

Uh, duh. I remember a left hand thread that nearly drove me insane on an automobile. Thank you for posting that, it came right. My next question, where can I get an empty module, to do some custom luxaholic building? Thanks again, I feel stupid, I put more torque on it counter-clockwise, than it took to remove.

I expect a KeyLux from TNC also and can't wait! What do you think of the light? I have heard nothing but positive remarks about those lights. Are you going to EDC it? Thanks!

Irp, I'm a really big fan of the Key Lux. Outstanding build quality, perfect beam in my opinion, very bright, runs between 2-3 hours on 1 AA. It's one of my very favorite lights. Worth every penny!

Thanks Big Ed, that is what I wanted to hear! I should receive mine maybe next week. From what I understand you can use any AA in the light....is that correct? Thanks!

I am happy with the beam. Its bright enough to have some throw to it. The reflector gives you enough spill. With a lithium AA the runtime seems great, it does dim down, but you can tell its regulated, the dimming is over a longer time, so it gives lots of useful light. I'm still wondering if an empty module can be found to build your own engine. Thanks for the info.

Irp, I believe any AA cell will work in the Key Lux, but I think lithium works best. I haven't yet done a runtime test with lithium or alkaline yet. A Ray-O-Vac iC3 NiMH lasted 2 hours 36 minutes constantly on before it started to blink, signaling a weak battery. One thing I noticed is that with an alkaline cell, it will start to blink when the cell weakens, and becomes a bit sensitive to being tapped. (If I tap the light, especially the tail, it will start blinking). The weaker the battery, the more sensitive it becomes. With a lithium cell, it wasn't as sensitive, and tended not to blink, but it dimmed instead.
I pretty much am going to use lithium cells in the Key Lux from now on. Besides the performance gains, I feel that a light that costs as much as this light does, should have a lithium battery in it to protect from the leakage that can come from alkalines.
I think you'll really like this light.

AtomicCandle, as far as finding an empty module, maybe you could email Chris at TnC. He might be able to help you.

BigEd, thanks for all the info! I think that I will like the light too and I will go with Lithiums. Will let you know how I like it when I receive it.
