    Thanks for the suggestions, both. I'm not familiar with either Lumitop or ThruNite - what's their build quality/durability like?

    Upgrading Maglite 6D to 5000 lumen - question

    Sorry - I missed this. Thanks a lot for replying. Funnily enough my intended host light already features some components from that website! My intention was to salvage my 5 D-cell maglite from going to the scrap heap, and resurrect it as a light to keep in the car. As a result I also picked up a...

    Looking for the torch the Nitecore Concept should have been

    Thanks Ven - they look decent. Do they have protection circuits or is this for protected cells only? Also, How do you rate them in terms of build-quality compared to say Fenix and Nitecore? Thanks Stephen. I checked out your review as well, and that seems like a very capable torch. You mention...

    Looking for the torch the Nitecore Concept should have been

    Just took delivery of the Nitecore Concept, and straight away it's obvious that on/off switch is terrible design! The instruction leaflet actually states that you should loosen the rear battery compartment cap to prevent accidental activation, and the switch actually looks like a hard knock...

    Re: Gearbest's Discounted Deals collection (updated) Thanks for the quick reply. That's such a shame. Gearbest is less than half the price of the UK supplier!

    Re: Gearbest's Discounted Deals collection (updated) Gearbest is telling me it can't ship 2 of the Nitecore lights to the UK. Why's that?

    Tough weather-proof case for 18650 batteries?

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I was really hoping there was a pelicase that fit a small number of 18650s. The Thyrms look very impressive but they're a bit too "tacticool" for me. I've found some cheap "tupperware" style boxes which look reasonably up to the job. Is this venting thing an...

    Just found some old 18650 batteries - will they be OK to use?

    Thanks - binned it on your advice. Just so I'm clear - something like Keeppower are better quality than Fenix-branded cells, even though they're less than half the cost?
