    LD20 inductor replacement

    Well, believe it or not, I was able to tin the broken ends of the microscopic copper wire. I took off the remaining ferrite bits from the solder pads, put some nice leaded solder, and was able to solder the tiny wire bits to the pads. There is good conductivity between the two pads through the...

    LD20 inductor replacement

    I have here an LD20 that was dropped from a certain height and stopped working. I took the guts out and found the problem, a tiny inductor has broken free and one end of it's microscopic copper wire has severed. Does anybody have any idea if that inductor can be bought somewhere to unsolder the...

    LD20 disassembly help

    Hi, I have an LD20 that took a pretty hard hit, it hit concrete pavement at pretty high velocity actually, right on the nose. When it hit, it turned on and off immediately after. It flashed. By all means I assumed it was dead and the lens shattered, but it actually isn't so. The lens is intact...

    Maglite mini 2xAA as a zoomie

    Nice. I've always loved the amazing color rendition the incandescent bulbs have. Megahigh lumen LED flashlights are cool and all, but nothing beats perfect tint. I've been looking around trying to find some of those Yuji 95CRI 5mm LED's to replace the very blueish ones in an old Petzl...

    Damaged Eneloop

    Thanks guys. Ordered a Maha C9000 along with a new set of AA's and AAA's yesterday (after I've done some reading here, no relation to this thread, I like to know precisely what's going on in my batteries), after some running tests I doubt the overnight charger I got with those is charging them...

    Damaged Eneloop

    Hi, one of my eneloops got damaged when my LD20 got dropped, the + end of the battery below left a nice imprint in the bottom. It still works fine, but should I be concerned? Is this enough damage to recycle it?

    List the BEST/WORST flashlight purchases you have made.

    Best: Fenix LD20 R5. Bought this one coming from a Mini Maglite, and never looked back. It's a very good performer all around and I use it almost every day. Worst: Some no name "ULTRA" 3AAA led flashlight I bought from a outdoor gear store on a trip a long time ago. Not bright at all, and...

    which coleman lantern?

    I would suggest looking at traditional Coleman lanterns, that burn Coleman fuel or "white gas". They are extremely reliable (unlike propane or butane in cold temps), rugged and last a very, very long time. I have 15 of them, none are less than 25 years old (my oldest is a 500cp kerosene beast...
