    Hulu Hand Maiden flashlight. What model????

    Hello, I was watching the new episodes of the Hand maiden on Hulu and wanted several times the main character used a flashlight and I was wondering if anyone knew what model it was? She grabbed it from a charging dock that held three flashlights and I'm guessing it was a Streemlight stinger...

    18650 If There Is No Power

    Two of my chargers can be plugged in to 12 volts so I can keep plenty of spare batteries charged up if needed. Dale P.

    Panasonic protected 18650A & 18650B

    I have this same problem with my Klarus XT11. Works fine with unprotected cells and SOME protected cells, but I can't use Nitecore protected cells in them or it turns the flashlight on regardless of the position of the switch. I think the trouble is the Nitecore cells have a much smaller...

    What are you packing for Halloween?!

    I have a ACE beam K40M coming in the mail today and will defiantly be playing around with that while taking the kid door to door. Will also bring a Nitecore EC4SW in my pocket. I will probably offer a Fenix Tk35 UE for my friend to use. Dale P. I can't wait of the ACE beam to arrive!!!!

    Have you ever caused "Flashlight-Envy"?

    I'm a mason and work in a lot of dark buildings. Most of the guys use cheap head AAA head lamps on their hard hats, but I have a Nitecore HC30 strapped to my head. Yesterday I walked into a very dark room with six guys trying to work wearing cheap headlamps with half dead batteries. My...

    Is this cell still usable?

    Shrink wrappers for 18650 cells are cheap and there are tons of venders selling them on E bay as well as other sources. I picked up 50 pre cut wrappers for less than $3.00 a while back and they are super easy to use. A hair dryer is all you need to shrink this tubing. NO need for a torch or...

    Rayovac 2 hour and 7 hour cell phone chargers, worthless or not?

    You can buy just the circuit to build your own booster pack for just a few bucks and then use any type of cell that you want. Wouldn't take much to build a custom booster pack that has all the options you want. Check E bay for circuits and you should find several, or buy a cheap booster pack...

    100 Watt LED Version 2

    WOW, that's really cool. Reminds me of a home built light I made when I was 12 years old. I used a similar sized metal box with a handle on top and mounted a fan in the back. Inside I installed an over head projector bulb that I stole from school. It was really bright, but had a cord so it...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I just ordered a Klaus XTQ1 at a steal for $35.00. I also wanted a light with more throw for the collection and ordered an AceBeam K40M. I'm really looking forward to getting that one. Also I bought a new charger and went with an Opus BT-C3100 V2.2. Dale P.

    Free Batteries!

    Here is the stand for 30 cells. I'm really tempted to buy this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/18650-BATTERY-DISPLAY-imr-high-efest-purple-drain-3000mah-35a-top-flat-2900-2800-/391563668394?hash=item5b2b036baa:g:kH0AAOSwTA9X2~0U

    Free Batteries!

    Yep, cells were re wrapped. Very easy and cheap to do, a hair dryer all you need. I build the charging station to hold all of my tools for performing Home Inspections. Some day I'm going to make a larger one with two drawers to store my batteries, holsters, extra o rings, etc. As for the...

    New use for 18650 batteries.

    Yes, I still have to add some foam to the inside. Just waiting to get to the hobby store one of these days. As for the range of the Bluetooth, I have a small wire attached to the antenna on the circuit board and it's connected to the metal case. Works pretty good, but I would like to see if...

    Free Batteries!

    The other day a guy at work dropped a Dewalt battery pack and the case cracked open. The boss was going to toss it and I told him I would make sure it got recycled. Inside were 10, 2500ma high drain cells! The battery was just purchased two weeks ago and was only used a few times so they...

    New use for 18650 batteries.

    I needed a radio for work and build a bluetooth speaker out of an old ammo tin and some other parts I had laying around. The amplifier board puts out 30 watts per channel and has a built in bluetooth card. There is a 1/8" aux jack too incase you can't use bluetooth. The speaker is being...

    Bought many $3 Chinese single AA zooms. What am I missing?

    For me it's all about quality. I need lights that will work day after day and depend on them for my job. I have several cheap flashlights of various brands and they all suffer from crappy switches and battery contacts. Most of the time they need a little hit to get them running which is...
