    Forget Cheap and Bright; Let's Talk About Old, Dim, Expensive Flashlights!

    I agree the new lights coming out now all look the same to me. Too tacticool, poor aesthetics and insane number of blinky modes. Nothing like a good ole surefire lego-able and still capable of competing with the brightest out there with just a change of the bulb. My particular favourites which...

No questions asked, they just asked for...

    Fake Ultrafire 18650 battery warning

    Re: Possibly Fake Ultrafire? Yeah i know they are ****, i just use them in single battery configurations. CR123s are expensive here and i prefer keeping my battery costs low to fund my hobbies. :nana:

    Help on decision - P2X Fury/XT11/ T20CS/TN11S or TR31C

    18650 Spacers for Maglite

    As mentioned by PCC i use a 3/4" Schedule 40 pipe along with a union cut in two halves for both ends. Works pretty good for me.

    18650 Spacers for Maglite

    Are you referring to a battery sleeve as mentioned by PCC or a spacer to take up free space by using less batteries ?
