    IT'S FINALLY HERE! FENIX TK72R--MAXIMUM 9000 LUMENS!

    So (approximating from graph)… 10 or 15 minutes at full tilt 9,000 lumens before dropping to somewhere around a quarter of that for a couple more hours? Not that 2,000 lumens is anything to complain about. Just trying to figure out what one actually gets for the money. I wonder how long it would...

    Your Favourite Cache

    After over 3,500 finds… it's hard to pick a favorite of them all… but I definitely have a top three: - Mysterious Treasure (http://coord.info/GC3BQJZ): about 15 miles and as many waypoints, solving puzzles along the way - Proffit Mountain Cache (http://coord.info/GCA1A3): about 14 miles of...

    What Information is officially "Known" About the Maelstrom

    Thanks for the quick specs and approximate release dates, Carrot. I only have dial-up available where I live, so I couldn't watch the YouTube vid of the party last week. I've been watching these threads and waiting for somebody to post some real information (besides the names and pics). Thanks...

    4Sevens Preon vs. Fenix LD05 >> New 2xAAA Lights <<

    PWM comparison :eek: Wow! There's nothing else to say. Just seeing the numbers doesn't do 4sevens' engineering justice at all. This makes me even happier that I placed a 4sevens light order recently.

    Fenix P2D-RB100 Comparison Review

    Sorry it took me an entire week to reply... I am indeed comparing the overall light. I took the average brightness of the entire beam circle and multiplied it by the surface area. I compared the brightness of the (entire) hotspot in the same manner...since there are quite a few percentage points...

    Fenix P2D-RB100 Comparison Review

    Using your images, I did some analysis on brightness and amount of light with Photoshop...and used Excel to formulate the results. Hotspot In Turbo Mode: The RB100 has a wider (17.5%), brighter (48.82%) hotspot than the P2Dce. It just barely inches out the Q2 hotspot, though, with the same...

    Torch's

    Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor is one of the lead characters in an American sitcom called "Home Improvement" that ran for 8 seasons in the 90s (pretty long for any TV show that isn't a soap opera or news program). Anyway, Tim was well-known for his annual Christmas decorations which got more and more...

    Nice pic of PK

    I personally admire that this whole thing fits on a keychain (Note the keys by his right hand). Now that's a keychain light rig.

    Ok, so what is the best Long throw Cree light you can buy??

    Matt, Are you at least going to open a thread that we can subscribe to and "watch" for this announcement instead of hunting for your cryptic messages all over CPF? :) -Eravau

    I'm addicted!

    They're not really crazy per se... They're just a little in the dark. ;)

    D-Mini XR-E vs. P1D-CE any thoughts?

    I'm rather tempted to grab a D-Mini in addition to my P1D-CE just for the extra throw. I just know that I proably wouldn't ever EDC since a head that big wouldn't drop in my pocket without leaving a huge, obvious lump. The P1D-CE is probably near my limit for diameter. But you have to admit, the...

    Would you buy a Fenix P1 with a clickie?

    Buy a Different Light My opinion? (rant mode) Keep making different lights with different bulb and LED technologies, different lengths and different switches. No one light can do everything. "Jack of all trades, master of none" isn't just a catchy phrase...it's usually manifest in reality when...

    Sold/Expired Black Mini Mini HID *SOLD*

    FITP: Looks like you may have finally gotten ahold of that "in-between" light (or is it possible to have both ends without being "in-between"?).

    Fenix, Jetbeam or Wait and see

    I know I'll probably regret it later, but I'm passing on the JetBeam mostly because of the PWM. Monitor flicker (and other flickering light sources) give me a headache pretty fast. Anything under about 75 or 80 Hz on a monitor refresh just leads to pain between the ears for me. But at $30...I...
