    New Malkoff MDC in the works.

    Add to this by lowering the clip a few mm to make it tail stand and we would have a winner for sure. Steve.

    This light is not for me as if using expensive CR123A Primaries I would want a moonlight or low low instead of the strobe. Steve

    Help finding LED light for Grandmother

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I spent some time searching ebay and came across a clone of the LED Lenser Neon dive light. It has a toggle switch and is only a few quid so I have ordered one. If it's no good I will look further into the given suggestions. Steve.

    Help finding LED light for Grandmother

    Thanks Rich, that will give me something to look into. How is the switch, is it an OK size and easy to push? Steve.

    Help finding LED light for Grandmother

    Price isn't an issue as long as it is easy to use. A button switch under a half inch is a problem also the switch stiffness. A maglite switch isn't too bad in size or positioning and fine using momentary but for constant on it requires a firmer push all the way down which is a problem. Steve

    Help finding LED light for Grandmother

    My Grandmother asked me to find a torch to keep beside her bed. As she has very bad Arthritis, this limits the lights that can be easily used. Twisties are out as are small switches and heavy lights over 2XC cell max. Some sort of glow system for easy finding in the dark would be a bonus...

    Did I get ripped off on infrared torch?

    The IR drop-in units are not too good for anything other than close in flood illumination. I had a 1 and 5 watt version and did not notice a difference but back then I did not look at the emitter to see how many each one had? I believe cameras use some sort of digital NV? These respond well to...

    Knurling on flashlight bodies...more or less grippy?

    That's the test I performed PCC. Maglites are much more slippy on the knurling doing it this way. I suppose if you are gripping a light tight the forces are different and the skin must deform into the grooves? Steve.

    Knurling on flashlight bodies...more or less grippy?

    As the title says, does knurling make a light more or less grippy? My very unscientific experiments lead me to believe most knurling reduces surface area and makes for less grip. Unless the knurling is aggressive enough to actually get a mechanical hold on the skin, is it worth doing? Steve

    thrunite ti deal....is it really just a 3 lumen light ?

    Did cleaning the light not help with the changing modes? I have an old P1d which plays up time to time when twisting for the modes. A clean and lube has always solved the problem. Steve.

    thrunite ti deal....is it really just a 3 lumen light ?

    I have just bought one and it is the 3/60 lumen version. The box it came in had a sticker over the 0.4 number and replaced with a 3. Cracking little light and a great simple UI. I love that it always comes on in low but with high a small twist away. I am gonna have to get a few of these and...

    **NEW** Fenix PD32 Ultimate Edition (XM-L T6 NW, 740 lumen)

    I'm getting a little interested in this light now. But I promised I would not buy another light for a while. But I have been a good boy lately so..... Steve

    lithium lights that also take alkalines/nimh

    I like powerful lights that run on lithuim cells but if in a pinch and your away from a charger or source of primaries, are there any 18650/2xcr123a lights that will run off an AA size cell in an adaptor? It wouldn't have to run as before just give out 100 lumens or so in an emergency? If there...
