    New Product Announcement: NITECORE TIKI/TIKI LE 300 Lumen Rechargeable Keychain Light

    If it’s full on day light the UV is weak. If you’re indoors hold it closer and it’s powers will be revealed. It’s not meant to UV stains from across a room. More of a small area UV light but it works and I’m sure it works as designed. You wouldn’t expect to win the Daytona 500 in a chevette, but...

    Think for a moment. What is your favorite flashlight?

    Nitecore P10GT. simple and easy to use. Runs a long time with a NCR18650B. Throws a long way for a straight tube and the power, strobe/mode buttons are both on the tail cap. It’s perfect for daily use and weapon companion light.

    Flashlights that take more than 1 battery type

    The 1L1AA will work with aaa too. I use an Olight rcr123 in mine. Low is 150 and high is still 350 is the only difference.

    Does anyone really get 1000 recharge cycles from Eneloop batteries?

    Most top brand Nimh cells last years of regular normal use. As in used until they don’t power the electronic anymore and blasted back to full charge in 12 hours or less then have it done all over again. Unless charging and discharging is a hobby and you haven’t any electronics that use batteries...

    Review: Olight S1R Baton II (EDC, 1xIMR16340, Magnetic Charging)

    it does not need to be an IMR cell. It will work on a primary CR123A. It just won’t hit the higher modes that most users rarely use anyway. I rarely go above 300 on my S1R, even then 60 lumens is more than enough 95% of the time. The primary will handle all of that.

    Does anyone really get 1000 recharge cycles from Eneloop batteries?

    You can save the time by tossing them when they start to diminish below what you find acceptable. You don’t need an analyzer charge system to tell you exact numbers. It won’t matter what it says. They’ve dropped below what you find acceptable. Just toss them. The numbers are inane if the battery...

    Does anyone really get 1000 recharge cycles from Eneloop batteries?

    I sally don’t care. Even if my aa Nimh cells only last a year I’ve already saved tons of money. I will just get more and not worry about it. They tend to last much longer. Not worried in the slightest the amount of cycles. I focus on the money I’ve already saved and will keep saving.

    Nitecore MT10A Discontinued

    That tool AA is a nice light but it don’t compare to the MT10A. It’s one of the few lights I’ve owned that punches way above its size to light to run time ratio. Nothing I’ve seen compares if someone is looking for a very powerful short and small light that can also be stepped down to run more...

    Latest-greatest 16340? Nitecore 16340 RCR123A?

    I do too, but the light is so good it’s worth it to me. I have a spare cell of one or the other on hand with it so I’m not too worried about it. I loved my surefire backup but it died suddenly early in 2017. I wasn’t going to shell them $ again on a light that only lasts 5~ years. The M1T is the...

    Latest-greatest 16340? Nitecore 16340 RCR123A?

    I ordered a M1T one minute after it became available to order. I’ve used it every night since. It gets run on high 3-7 minutes at a time several times a night. With the Olight rcr123 650mah cell I get 40-45 minutes of full lumens high mode depending on if it’s run longer or shorter. It’ll run...

    New daily pocket light

    Streamlight microstream USB is my backup light I carry and it runs a long time on a charge. Both lumen modes are perfect. It has one of the best tints of any of my lights. Only down side side is it takes a while to charge. Does not work with aaa but functions perfect with a 10440 cell. The...

    opinion on Streamlight ProTac HLX

    Go to the Nitecore store and look at any light with GT behind it. They have some hard hitting long throwers in the single 18650 size.

    How much of a battery's advertised capacity(mah) is actually useable?

    Im talking about cells wearing out from time and cycles too. They do and will wear down every time they are used up and recharged. They do get closer to death with every cycle. It is what it is though. I’ve run the S1R dead hundreds of times and it spends most of its time on high that runs...

    How much of a battery's advertised capacity(mah) is actually useable?

    It does get charged to 4.2 every time and this light pulls 900 lumens. I’m testing the limits on the S1R. The light handles the lumens, In fact, I’ve used it to start birch bark on fire, the light beam at the TIR is that hot. It spends most its time burning at 600 and 900 lumens. The supplied...
