    "Sleeper" flashlights

    Any Quark Mini makes for a good sleeper. My MiniCR2 never fails to catch people off guard. When some asks to borrow a light they're usually disappointed when I hand my keys to them. But even on the first level they say "wow it's actually pretty bright!" "Turn it off and on a couple times" I...

    TK30 on three primaries?

    I prefer to run my led lights on primary batteries. I, along with many others have experienced problems with the light not functioning properly when using 4 primary batteries. By removing one cell I was able to smooth out the glitches while retaining seeming full output. The the peace of mind...

    TK30 on three primaries?

    Now four months later, I've finally gotten around to ordering more batteries and I threw in a dummy cell from battery junction while I was at it. I am quite pleased to report that my TK30 works flawlessly on 3 lithium primaries. I highly recommend it to anyone who does not wish to use Lithium...

    Any flashlights worn as neckware? :)

    I probably have the biggest light on a string on this thread thus far. When on duty in my BDU uniform, I wear a fivemega "3p" (1x16340, G2 bezel, Z59 tailcap with a Nailbender Low Power Special XPG R4) on a Surefire lanyard.

    Immediate advice needed...shorted IMR battery heating fast.

    To be perfectly honest, there was no for thought involved in this process. I I had bought this bezel two months ago before a converted all my incan lights to IMR, this extremely reckless incident would have happened with two AW Black Label LiCo cells. In which case I would have definitely...

    Immediate advice needed...shorted IMR battery heating fast.

    I got it isolated in in a big aluminum box (and old airforce air conditioning unit) 4'x6' with 3/8 inch walls in the middle of my front yard. I think its fully depleted since it doesn't seem to be getting any warmer. Thanks for the quick responses.

    Immediate advice needed...shorted IMR battery heating fast.

    So... I was testing the shock absorbing qualities of the M2 head and long story short, I have an 18500 IMR battery that seems to be shorting itself outs as it is heating rapidly. I'm currently periodically spraying it with and upside down air duster, but it still seems to be discharging...

    Impact resistant UCL lens?

    When I replaced the lenses in two G2 heads that I am using, I tried one ULC and one Hard Coat Acrylic. I would have preferred a borafloat for both applications, but flashlightlens.com does not make it in the correct size. Approximately two months later I broke the the ULC lens. It was on my...

    Shouldn't Lumens Factory Have a Turbo Head?

    ? Just thought that it was time to bring this thread to back to the top. Don't want the discussion to lose too much momentum.

    Aluminum Mini CR2 impressions thread

    Got mine today and I am completely blown away by the quality of this light. I beat my wife to the mailbox, swap it out the EZCR2 on my keychain, and discretely stashed the box away. However I just couldn't keep my hands off this little gem. By the third time I cycled through the modes as I...

    Nitecore Quality Poll

    My EX10 was one of my favorite lights, and still is. For that one alone I would have voted "Excellent" as it is my opinion a top quality light. When the EZCR2 was released, it replaced my EX10 as my key chain light. Initially I was impressed by it's very simple design and held in the same...
