    Good CRI Thrower usable with rifle scope

    So I briefly read about slicing the dome off Nichia leds and gave it a shot. Cut it all off. All the phosphor and everything. Had a nice blue LED that I was not pleased with but when the ice and snow knocked out our power intermittently for a week it saw some use anyways. Ordered a handful of...

    Good CRI Thrower usable with rifle scope

    I ended up dipping my toe into the DIY realm for this one, UF T-20 aspherical zoomie that I put a Nichia 319AT d400 5000k in with qlite driver with guppydrv firmware. Doesn't beam as much as I thought it would but it does reduce spill significantly. Pretty significant ringing which honestly...

    Good CRI Thrower usable with rifle scope

    I am looking for a smallish thrower that will not spill out and white out the view through my rifle scope when using to ward off critters at night. Single 18650, 2 AA, 2AAA, (or their LiON equivalents) would even entertain 21700 lights except I already own a nightcore D2 charger and would prefer...

    Best light under $300 that will light up a football field

    Streamlight Protac HL 5-X will get you pretty close for 1/3 of your budget. It's 3500 lumens on high with about 1hr runtime. Floods like crazy and still shines about 150yds. I love mine, was exactly what I wanted in a light at the time. Now I want something with the same throw and none of the spill.

    New chainsaw...I had to share

    This, all day. I have a Stihl leaf blower and chainsaw, my dad and uncle both have their chainsaws and weedeaters with leaf blower and pole saw attachments, and my little brother has the 170, which is an awesome saw we've been throwing in the back of trucks anytime we go to the river or camping...

    New EDC search

    Yea, I am currently carrying the protac L2-x. 500 lumen version but I was unaware that they added the low/med/high setting afer you cross a certain price point I assume. Mine only does high strobe low, high only, or high, low. The mid range setting was definitely something I was looking for I...

    New EDC search

    18650 batteries, 1 or 2 possibly. Budget $100 I intend to carry the light every day and would prefer to do so in the front pocket of my jeans. I am not opposed to building my own if that is what it takes but prefer a prebuilt. LED prefered 4500-5000k but don't really need the high CRI if it...
