    Mag 6D LED vs Mag 4D LED 1K lumens vs Mag 4D 2x18650 with Malkoff

    My favorite light out of all of mine is actually a blue 4 D cell Magz. It has anti glare coated optical quality lens but just usually cleans up artifacts. It has the Malkoff "3-4 D cell" drop in. I am not SURE but I think the drop in has an XP-G or XPG2 emitter. The COLOR of the beam out of this...

    Maglite 2D mods and options

    all of my Magz are "well optioned" I guess U could say. They all have at least the good glass lenses. My favorite LED light is up in my room. It is a blue 4 D cell Mag. It was originally a weak incan. It now also has the "3-4 D cell" Malkoff drop in and it fits and functions perfectly. At most...

    To buy or not to buy

    Yes SL has 75% of all their product made in China. But they also have a plant in Pennsylvania I think it is. They make all the US stuff there. There actually is a handful of US made SL.

    Armytek China?

    I have owned near 20 Armyteks. I even had one of the older Predator Pro's that used the XPG2 LED. THAT beam out of THAT light was LED perfection the beam profile was very well done. As for where is AT out of the answer is China. The parts for them are from all over the world. The current...

    Maglite 2D mods and options

    I have never seen any kind of reflector upgrades for nearly anything. When I do find Magz aftermarket I have aluminum reflectors installed if it is going to be a hot high lumen job. Do not want to melt the plastic stock reflector. If I were to just make ONE change it has GOT to be that a quality...

    Do you actually use your copper or brass lights ?

    Yes I have roughly 20 Olights that most are made of different metals. They did a very good CNC job with these small to tiny LED lights. I have brass,coper, rose gold, titaniums, rainbow anodization and my favorite Olight of all time the Olight R50 in 100% copper. That thing must have weighed 4...

    Is this normal for a Maglite ML50LX?

    I must have had 35 Magz or more from young to now. From the smallest ones to the latest XML2 LED D cell lights Mag has finally stepped up and into a lucrative super bright LED torch business. I have had zero problems with my anodized D and C cell ML LX lights at all. Even my old incan Magz are...

    Surefire Fury Intellibeam doesn't work with Surefire 18650s

    That is one very proprietary 18650. I thought SF used good Japanese core cells that they relabeled? I know the SF CR123's actually are US made upscale lithium cells but I also know the newer USB port 16340 they are using are made in China. Orbtronic as stated above is one of the best reliable...

    Fenix PD35 Tailswitch Issue.

    Yes I have done all the diligence due for a high output EDC light. I went and scored an almost brand new 850 lumen PD35 still in the box. It is flawless from end to end. I still have THAT PD35 though. I am going to attempt to use their service department again. Years ago I had the SAME PD35 that...

    Armytek Doberman Pro

    True. I actually had a Barracuda from them. YES it threw like Tom Brady but the beam was full of artifacts. I sent it back.

    Is the Coast HP14 LED Flashlight Dangerous or Powerful?

    Just checked over the Coasts sites. As long as you do NOT mix and match batteries you will be fine. I suggest Energizer Ultimate Lithium cells. These have the highest capacity out of all their rival cells at 3000mah and 1.7 volts at the same time.

    Is the Coast HP14 LED Flashlight Dangerous or Powerful?

    No OP. The light is not going to "burn" you. It just does not have the output to do so. It is still a fun and versatile light. One handed push pull variable focus is some of the best in the industry. Do not skimp on the batteries. Feed the light Energizer Ultimate LIthium cells.

    Armytek Doberman Pro

    I have 7 Armyteks. None of them have failed me. My favorite is the Dobermann Pro. Easy to slide into a pocket and bright as HELL. The features that modern AT's come with are staggering. It literary takes a couple of DAYS to go through the manuals for them. The anodized bodies give you grip for...

    Police Security brand

    I am also a COAST fan. The value factor is through the roof. That being said my local police are issued Surefire's. They are Fury's I believe. A more serious question is what on earth light do firefighters use? Where I live all agencies have endless money for whatever they feel is best.

    Fenix PD35 Tailswitch Issue.

    Lord I hope so. The tailcaps I have taken off of 2 Thrunites work on the PD35 perfectly no problem. I am going to contact Fenix customer service. They have done me right before.
