    First time posting in years.... I see some things have changed.

    I have a Preon, but it's a copper one that's fishing string here somewhere. As far as lights go, I have to go through what I have in boxes, annnnd I guess open a PayPal account. Most of the stuff I have is fairly old, with R5 emitters and the like....

    First time posting in years.... I see some things have changed.

    Hey guys and gals! Well....popped in here to see what's new and to unfortunately see how I can sell some lights. My employer has been having issues staying afloat during this pandemic and now is unable to make payroll. LITERALLY, out of nowhere, they stopped paying us last week, with no other...

    Review - Lumintop ODF30 XHP70.2 3500lm 19600cd 280m - by Lock

    I ABSOLUTELY love 26650 cell lights! Great runtimes and brightness are but 2 of the reasons why I find this form factor so appealing. Btw, Massdrop.com has this light for 45$ currently with no battery or charger

    Sunwayman- I'm very much interested in this light,but, the lack of a pocket clip is an absolute DEAL BREAKER for me! Any thoughts of how one would pocket carry this??

    SkyRay XML vs.Nitecore TM11 and Singfire 10440 vs. Peak Eiger Ultra X

    First of all, a huge Thank You to Dora and the staff at GearBest for not only entertaining my queries on these lights, but, for sending me some samples for testing! I wanted to know how these VERY low cost lights perform against some well-established brands we know quite well. Now, before we get...

    Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)

    Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G) Martin, Sorry I can't help with your query as I don't own the nichia model. But I do agree this light has a great UI!

    Lumapower LM21 EDC Mini Review

    Well, I figured I'd post an update on this light, which is to say there really isn't any. SOMEONE else thought it was a cool light as well, I was helping a friend set up for a party, put the light down to finish wiring a PA system, and it was gone. That being said, in the intervening years...

    Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)

    Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G) BlackFFM- I concur completely! In fact, I was rather relived to hear they had updated the board for full Li Ion support....nothing worse than having a related light go DD on you if you're not expecting it...

    Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)

    Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G) I was out chasing a rather large raccoon out of the yard a few minutes ago, and this light with an IMR was more than adequate, even with a "paltry" 450 lumens....Definitely a worthwhile purchase! In fact, this is...

    Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)

    Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G) Just to add my two cents to this discussion, I just purchased a brandy-new D25C off EBay for 45$. It was listed as the "upgraded 2013 model" with the U2 emitter. I was secretly hoping it was the DD model, as I...

    Thoughts on LEDs for Automotive applications?

    So, as an alternative to HIDs, what would members believe would be the best LED alternative? As an aside, there's only two vehicles I've owned where the main/secondary (e.g.fog lights) were MORE than adequate for my lighting needs, and those were/are my current vehicle (07 Subaru XT Sport)...

    Thoughts on LEDs for Automotive applications?

    I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this in, but, here goes.... The thought occurred to me after reading about Audis use of LEDs in their cars, that why hasn't someone offered an aftermarket, say projector light housing, that uses something like an SST90 or XML in it? I mean, if the...
