    LED for Gals on Campus

    I bought my nieces the Streamlight Batonlite, its not perfect but it is pretty darn rugged. The fox stuff you might want to check on if its legal in the state they are going to school at. For example, I think California has some goofy rules on what is legal in terms of mace/pepper spray. See...

    "2-AAA" Seoul or Cree light - Do you want one?

    Just so you guys know a good 2aaa light exists. Its called the Peak LED Fujiyama. http://www.peakledsolutions.net/Products/Fujiyama.html I used it as a penlight. I did have to order a special "plug" for the end since I didnt need the keychain thingy. -- John

    Light for Wife's Purse

    Arc AAA-P on the keychain is in my opinion the best choice for the SO's in our lives. I got one for my wife, its small, lightweight, rugged as hell and pretty darn bright for such a small package. It is soo much better than the piece of junk little flashlights she had before. (Before I became...

    fenix in a 2 AAA form factor

    This is the one Ive been thinking about buying. http://www.peakledsolutions.net/Products/Fujiyama_HA_1LED.html It looks like it would be roughly equivalent to an Arc AAA with longer battery life. -- John C

    >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX!<<<

    Re: >>>TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 C/D cell Maglites TLE-6EX! I just put it in my 2c running 3xcr123a as well, and I agree its quite bright. In terms of comparing it head to head in the same body & battery config with the xenon 6 cell bulb its hard for me to make...

    I'm going to take my wind up Costco light camping.

    We went camping about 2 weeks ago with one of my old college buddies. I had told him dont forget your flashlights. He brought the windup costco model for himself & his wife. I had my Wolf9xRaider, my wife had her streamlight 4aa luxeon, plus I had a few spares. I ended up loaning a gerber...

    Suggest SMJLED PR2 hosts?

    I was doing some playing around with the smjleds (both bipin & pr) I got from lambda. I tried them in Minimag, Coleman tent light etc. The one that really surprised me was a simple Mag 2D with a sputtered reflector that I had. I was really impressed with the beam & overall brightness. I had...

    Flashlight for my son

    I would suggest you capitalize on this "opportunity" with your son. Buy 2 mini-mags (different colors), a nite-ize drop-in, an smjled, and 10 batteries. If you have the cash and depending on how much you want to go into this, you could also get a zts tester to teach him about batteries. And...

    100 AA Alkalines - $12.99 @ Fry's

    I had a bad experience returning an item at frys also. It was a memory dimm that I purchased. When I got it home and plugged it into my computer it only registered HALF of what I bought. So I took it back to the store and they were like, well you bought it. I said the packaging was intact...

    If you could only have 5 lights....?

    Re: Which 5 lights can you not live without. At 5 its almost too many for non-flashaholics. In no particular order, these are the lights that either get the most use or are the most important to have available. - Arc AAA-P (Wife keychain) - Raider 9DX with LED Tailcap (Vehichle glovebox) -...
