    Maglite Solitaire - Incandescent - Do you still use them?

    I think the main reason the incan Solitaire is so under-appreciated - aside from it's obvious low brightness - is that most people have only powered it with an alkaline battery, which only gives you about 10 minutes of decent output followed by 3 hours of almost nothing. Drop in an Eneloop...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    Nothing yet. Been saving my $$$. I'll try the Klarus Mi10 first because it's small and cheap. If that doesn't work, I'm looking at either the Xeno ES1 or EagleTac D25A Clicky as a Plan B. I'll report my findings. Thanks for all the good tips and info! ~David

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    Point taken. I guess I need to see what those ultra-low lumens look like. I can't imagine 0.01 lumens doing much good if it's really floody. Seems like you would want a decent amount of beam to be useful. Most of the time, what I need to see in my room at night is either stuff down on the...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    I guess I don't really have a reference for 0.03 lumens, but just doing the math, the difference from 3 to 0.03 is the same as from 300 to 3 (very dramatic). I've gotten a pretty good feel for relative brightness levels above 3 lumens, so I figured half or maybe a quarter of 3 would do the...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    This is actually what I've been using lately. Solitaires are about 2 lumens on Eneloops. I like the warm, incan light and they work fine for a short period of time, but the battery wears out pretty fast - especially if you fall asleep with it on :). Seems like I'm changing batteries too...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    Yes, I do remember the E01 being harder to twist on than some other more recent lights. I'm thinking the Chapstick cap may not dim the light enough for what I'm trying to do, but it's a good idea. I looked at that L3 L10 4 review, and I think we're on the other extreme now - tested output was...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    I don't have my E01 anymore so I can't test it. Can anybody else confirm if a Chapstick top is a good fit on a Fenix E01 and how it effects the output? Thanks, ~David

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    Thanks! I'll check that one out. I just posted a question about the Klarus MiX6 & Mi10 lights in the 'recommend' forum. Does anyone here know how low the low modes on either of these is? Based on Selfbuilt's review of the MiX6, I am hopeful the Klarus lights have truly low output capability...

    Klarus Mi X6 (XP-G R5, 1xAAA, Stainless Steel) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS and more!

    Does anyone know if the Klarus Mi10 XP-G R5 uses the same guts as the MiX6 reviewed here? It looks like they have the same exact performance specs. If so, the Mi10 would be a more economical version with the advantage of knurling on the body. Also, can anybody tell me how the low mode on the...

    Any Ultra Low Single-Mode Lights on the Market?

    Hi all, I need a recommendation for a really low power single-mode flashlight to have by my bed for poking around in the dark without waking up my brother who sleeps in the same room. I've tried using the Fenix E01, LD01, and some others. Even the 3 lumen mode on the LD01 is a little too much...

    Current Reverse Clicky Selection?

    Wow, thanks! The Xeno ES1 is very close to what I'm looking for. Impressive specs. What is the cost for these? Can you custom order the color of LED you want? I don't know if I'm setup on the Marketplace or not...registered a couple years ago but never used it. Are there any other more...

    Current Reverse Clicky Selection?

    Hi all, It's been some time since I've posted here. I was content with my incandescent lights for a good while, but I'm finally seeing the need for another LED. I'm trying to find out who makes decent AA-powered lights (i.e.: Fenix quality or better) with reverse clicky switches these days...

    LumensFactory Titanium Seraph SP-6 Review/Overview

    Hi guys, I know this is an old thread, but seeing what MDOCOD did with swapping parts between the Seraph SP-6 and the Surefire 6P got me thinking. First of all, when you put the 6P bezel & tailcap on the SP-6 body, does it still retain the ability to use an 18650 battery? If so, then this...

    Surefire KX4 Compatibility

    That's pretty much what I'm trying to do - G2 + AN-14 extender + Lumens Factory HO-9 + 2x17670 + ZeroRez Modded Tailcap. Only I like the G3 bezel better because it doesn't roll as easy and I think it looks better. Any way to get a yellow one? Thanks.

    Surefire KX4 Compatibility

    Bummer! Actually, all I really wanted was the style of nitrolon bezel used on the G3, but in yellow. I wasn't aware of a yellow G3, so I was trying to figure out how I could get one. Any ideas? Thanks.
