    Is Wicked Lasers over? Who is next?

    here's their reply. if a >5mW laser comes to customs they do not have authority to seize it if it is not labeled as a "pointer". Hello, The customer service team has not been informed by our management regarding the details of the shipping restriction. We were only informed that our company...

    High Power Handheld for Self Defense

    well, my 1911-A1 is very lethal and i do not need or want a laser hanging on my 1911, it just doesnt work well in my tight IWB, iron sights are good for ~20yds, etc, but if i could burn someone to cause a little pain from say 20ft away, that would help me from reaching for my 1911, etc. an...

    Is Wicked Lasers over? Who is next?

    i see their site that they say they will not ship >5mW to US, not sure why, Fed law does not restrict laser ownership, but there are restrictions on how a laser is named, as example, >5mW sold as a "pointer" is not legal. so why dont they just call them "lasers", period. i sent email to WL...

    High Power Handheld for Self Defense

    has anyone embarked upon using a powerful handheld laser as a self defense weapon? i have other types of SD items (all legal, some very lethal), but a laser seems like it could be used a decent non-lethal SD item. your thoughts? a laser for me is not something i would buy just to point around...

    Is this Laser site for real?

    that's what i thought. maybe the turn-on (inrush) amps is like a AC motor and thats what they are reporting ;) i guess there are high power handhelds, but not as a single emitter

    LED for 2D Maglite

    i can mod it myself in just about any way i would like to, i just didnt want to put any effort into it right now, thus a drop-in seemed to fit the bill. but ok, i'll keep it as a backup and look for a better drop-in, and when i have some free project time i will investigate better mods. thanks...

    LED for 2D Maglite

    Hi all, while i wait for my astrolux s1 to arrive (to replace my 2D Maglite), was wondering what i can do to mod my Maglite. are there any Lithium batts that can replace 2D (multi or single Li batt)? what is the brightest LED drop in for a 2D maglight. i have a LED drop-in now, i think from the...

    Maglite 2D to Astrolux S1

    my idea for the 2D Mag was to use one D size Lithium with a dummy D cell, along with some sort of better LED drop-in. but for that pricing i could be into two S1's. i did order a S1, to replace my Mag for now, and to compare against my TK16.

    Lithium battery arrangement Q

    hi all, i am embarking on a new project, building a outdoor rolling credenza that has TV, cd player, small receiver, 100% wireless (power and wifi, etc). my design calls for a battery pack that can deliver approx 5x106 joules, this leaves me in the ballpark of 12v@115Ah, or 48v@29Ah in general...

    Fenix TK16 (XM-L2 U2, 1x18650 or 2xCR123A) Review

    interesting enough the P12GT was also on my list, reason why i got TK16 is that TK16 allows me to use mode button w/o switching grip, so from a single std tactical fist grip i can use power on/off and mode buttons. i guess one could pinky the mode button of P12GT, but its not easy to index the...

    Maglite 2D to Astrolux S1

    i recently bought Fenix TK16 for tactical reasons. my older non-led 2D Maglite at home is bulky and upgrading to a real LED light does not seem ez or cheap. i have a maglite LED drop-in but output is kinda dismal. thinking about replacing my Maglite with Astrolux S1. is this a good swap? i...
