    Chemical Glowstick Replacement

    A real challenge for the flashlight gurus here- I have a Krill extreme 360 - almost perfect. Uses common AA batteries - good runtime, pretty bright. Bad points: Only one brightness - (a little on the dim side) Tried a Lazerbrite - a little on the BIG side, but not a deal-breaker. Bad...

    Rechargeables - solar - and generator types

    Lately, I've been exploring the world of rechargeable lights, after running across a few models in Harbor Freight tools (super cheapies)..... they seemed cool in concept, but... the strange thing is, they never seem to go "dead"..... I actually took one apart to see if it had a hidden button...

    solar watch with no battery?

    solar watch with no battery?

    My Citizen has a neat power saving feature... after 30 minutes in the dark, the second hand stops at the 12'00 position. The minute and hour hand continue to keep time, BUT.. instead of the movement moving every second, it moves every sixty seconds... thus saving a great deal of power. Now-...

    solar watch with no battery?

    I think the watches are in totally different classes..... I don't mean to sound snooty, but you can't compare a $50 watch and a $500 watch... ya know?

    solar watch with no battery?

    I have the 8700 http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/English/detail.asp?Country=COA&Language=English&ModelNumber=BL8004-53E According to Citizen, the battery will "Never need replacing" (if it is properly maintained) The WORST thing you can do is let it go completely dead ( more than 6 months in a...
