    La Crosse Technology BC1000 reviews? Experiences?

    According to BC1000 manual (http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/bc1000/manual.pdf) BC1000 has 'Compartment number keys' while IQ328 does not. I guess the IQ328 is some kind of custom made version of BC1000 for AccuPower with limited capabilities...

    La Crosse Technology BC1000 reviews? Experiences?

    I found this on the net: http://www.accupower.at/iq328_en.php AFAIK Accupower IQ128 = LaCrosse BC700, IQ228=BC900, but what is this? Any experiences with this one? Seems to have similar properties as BC900, but lacks the buttons to configure individual cell charging. I bought one off Amazon.de...

    1st post newbie here - mod my OLD 3D Mag?

    A couple of years ago I went for the same quest as Rickenbackerman, except that I got a 3D->12AA serial battery housing (14.4v) from FiveMega, a bi-pin adapter, SMO reflector (cammed) and a glass lense. There were many obstacles, though that I haven't been able to conquer fully yet: - Not...

    Pelican M6 led drop-in?

    Above my M6 with DX tailcap & DX Q5 dropin. Been quite happy with the switch (even though it's reverse), wouldn't go back to stock switch. There must be something special with the stock tailcap as I have had trouble using the M6 tailcap in other flashlights than the M6. Once I tried to change...

    Experiences with KD880U bulb / 12v bulb recommendations

    No need for 100w bulb (they don't have a G4 socket but something called GY6.35?), a bit less would be adequate. Something like 35 watts. First I was about to go wa1185, but as I figured out my M*g would fit a 12-cell adaptor as well, I chose that instead. Now I have the option to use dummy cells...

    1xAA or 1xAAA Recommendation

    That stylus uses 2xAAA. With that budget, I'd go for Fenix E01. If KD lights were possible, a KD Buckle XRT would be another option.

    Experiences with KD880U bulb / 12v bulb recommendations

    Hello everyone. I just recently got parts for my very first maglite mod. I'm running a G4 KD 880U bulb with cammed SMO reflector at a 12-cell configuration. I like intense hotspots but I cannot adjust the beam to a hotspot at all. I trimmed the bulb legs so it would sit more deep but it didn't...

    Sold/Expired 4AA to 1D, 8AA to 2D, 12AA to 3D M*g

    Received today. Fits in my very old rusty Mag, even though the fattest of cells resist a bit. Thank you FiveMega!

    Looking for a large, bright flashlight

    If I were b1029384756, I'd propably get some D-cell extension tubes from FM. They look quite rugged. I'd get 4 longer extension tubes (after making sure the combined length is suitable for 4 added cells) and 10pcs cheap D-cell Nicads and a charger from a shop like batteryjunction.com. Bulb needs...

    Best manufacturer's warranties?

    This is not a manufacturer warranty, but might be nice to know. In Finland Maglites have a lifetime warranty (does not include bulbs, batteries and battery leakages) by import company Vandernet Oy (source of information). So if you are on a trip to Finland, you can have all your broken Maglites...

    Beamshot picture question

    As said, experiment is the key. In my not-so-experienced opinion the F value is not as important, just keep it the same in all pictures once you have found a good value, like 4.0. The higher F, the more exposure it will require but it will capture details better especially between depths (and...

    Ultrafire C1 ungrades?

    Did so and the first day at work: I noticed something hot at my waist. It was the pelican, switched on and hot as hell. Didn't use the original holster as it didn't fit there very well, but a DX one which allowed the switch to turn on. Went back to original holster. But learned that safety...
