    Bill, It's sitting in a dumpster in a garbage bag under kitty litter and leftover tomato sauce (Prego). Please understand if I don't retrieve it. I am sorry.

    Problema com NITECORE D10 SP R2.

    njet212, Mine had the red soldermask on the PCB, so I guess that made it a 2nd batch, but I'm not certain. I can't give you any additional info as it is currently residing in the dumpster at the end of my driveway. Even if the dealer would replace it, I'd always be waiting for it to fail. In any...

    Problema com NITECORE D10 SP R2.

    Update. Now I only have a choice between strobe and SOS. I have no access to any levels. What a marvelous piece of engineering and design.

    Problema com NITECORE D10 SP R2.

    Similar problem with my 2 month old D10 R2 camo. It has only seen light desk duty, never carried, kept clean and lubed. Suddenly it won't remember high mode, only low and medium. I also bought it because of its supposedly reliable electronic switching.

    Can Cree XP-G's change tint over time?

    I preferred the original yellow-green over the current blue-white. It seemed to have better color rendition. Using the highly scientific ceiling bounce test, it's also clear that the output has decreased.

    Can Cree XP-G's change tint over time?

    For the past month, I've been using a Dereelight Javelin 3-mode on high for short periods and the tint has been a yellow-green. Today I happened to run it on high for about 45 minutes and it got fairly warm but not too hot to handle. The tint has permanently changed to blue-white.

    Solarforce R2 L2 All Stainless version

    I've been considering the all SS L2 as a host for a Malkoff. I assume it's still necessary to pack the drop-in with aluminum foil. Is there a better way?

    Help removing the lens from an E20?

    I wanted to place a diffusion layer behind the lens in an E20, but I couldn't unscrew the reflector. Are the threads glued? I tried needlenose pliers, but I could not budge the reflector.:(

    What light is in your Car?

    SF 6P (Gun Metal Grey) + Malkoff M60F + Pila 600S in the glovebox. Not so sure Li-Ions are happy with the temp extremes, but it hasn't been a problem yet...

    Question re: 6P tailcap spring assy

    Thanks everyone. I just removed the spring and filed off the burr. Yes, reinstallation was a PITA but I got it back in. Now everything is smooth as silk. BTW, I use Li-Ion cells, so the continual scoring could have been a problem.

    Question re: 6P tailcap spring assy

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the spring assy from a 6P tailcap? I need to clean the threads and deburr the spring tip to reduce scoring the cells. Thanks
