    New KeepPower 18350 don't work in series

    The solder would need to be no lead that consists of tin - copper - silver or you might get an oxidation on the solder which could introduce some resistance in the circuit which would not be a good thing. At $.29 cents per magnet it is no big deal if you lose a few and the gold plating makes...

    New KeepPower 18350 don't work in series

    I use 1/4" diameter x 1/16" thick gold plated disc magnets from K&J Magnetics that are $.29 cents each and they work great. You do have to remember that they are there when you remove the batteries for charging, etc.

    Nitecore E4K - 4x XP-L2, 4400Lm

    I have my light setup as follows and it does everything that I want. The memorized mode is set to the middle mode - 320. I can double click from off for 2 or single long click for 320 and can get to 4400 from either one by holding the button. Those three modes are really all that I need for...

    VIDEO ADDED! NEW FD45 Compact Body, Wide-Range View: 900 Lumens!

    Re: NEW FD45 Compact Body, Wide-Range View: 900 Lumens! I just received my FD45 today. The light output and flood to spot are great but it goes downhill from there. The focus ring is beyond tight and I say from experience that it is very easy to pinch your hand when going from spot to flood...

    New Product Announcement - NITECORE MH23 1800 Lumen Rechargeable Compact Flashlight

    I just received the replacement MH23 from the Nitecore Store and it is now brighter than my MH20 as it should be. It is a tighter hot spot because of the deeper reflector but much hotter than the MH20. It is cold here now and I probably will not have a chance to check it outside for a few days...

    New Product Announcement - NITECORE MH23 1800 Lumen Rechargeable Compact Flashlight

    I received an email from the Nitecore Store today. They received my MH23 and tested it against a new light from their stock and agreed that it is indeed dimmer and are sending me a replacement. I will post again after I receive the replacement and compare it to my MH20 neutral white. So far...

    New Product Announcement - NITECORE MH23 1800 Lumen Rechargeable Compact Flashlight

    I contacted the Nitecore store today and explained my problem with the MH23 and the customer service rep said that the information that they were given from Nitecore was that because of the reflector design and the mounting of the LED it might seem dimmer than the MH20 which I thought was really...

    New Product Announcement - NITECORE MH23 1800 Lumen Rechargeable Compact Flashlight

    I received my MH23 today and am incredibly disappointed. I own a MH20 neutral white (not the GT) and my subjective opinion shining the two lights at some utility poles and trees about a hundred feet away is that the MH20 is about 50% brighter than the new MH23. The MH23 has a deeper reflector so...

    New Product Announcement - Nitecore TINI Metallic Rechargeable Keychain Light

    I just received four TINI's today, two red and two gray. I have about a dozen TIP's, a couple of Thumb's, a T360, and lots of Tube's so i am familiar with Nitcore's keychain lights. This is an amazing little light and I would only make one request for a future UI change and that would be a...
