    Jetbeam remote problem

    I bought a jetbeam sf-r28 light https://www.batteryjunction.com/jetbeam-sf-r28-bundle.html and a remote switch for it. https://www.batteryjunction.com/jetbeam-rm06-ms-remote-pressure-switch.html Flashlight works great, but I'm having an issue with the remote. It has a button on the tailcap and...

    noob needs batteries

    noob needs batteries

    I'm in Texas, so shipping isn't a problem. My current batteries all have button tops. The 16340s can be unprotected I guess. The olight has springs on both ends. The 18650 does not have dual springs, so I guess it needs a button top.

    noob needs batteries

    So I'm a noob, please bear with me. (I don't even know if I need a protected or unprotected cell.... :( I have a couple medium quality flashlights (olight s1 and jetbeam sf-r28) that I have been feeding blue ____fire batteries. They are pretty clearly junk. I'd love a recommendation for a...

    looking for a better hunting light

    I've taken to shooting (at) hogs on our property and I'm wishing I had a better light setup. Right now I have a solarforce p6 clone wrapped in some tape attached to the front of the rifle (light is in a mount, but it was a loose and floppy fit, thus the tape) I think the head I have in there now...

    I'm afraid my Nitecore d10 finally died. Can it be fixed?

    I traded the light away to crazy Eddie. I hope he can get it running. And if you ever get a chance to deal with or talk to Eddie, he is a really helpful and great guy.

    I'm afraid my Nitecore d10 finally died. Can it be fixed?

    Ted, that is really cool to see what people can do, but that is so far beyond my skills. I can pretty much change the batteries and that's it :) Camping nut, thanks for the tip on a possible fixer, but I thing that with the advancements in LEDs over the past 10 years, I'm probably better off...

    I'm afraid my Nitecore d10 finally died. Can it be fixed?

    I've had a Nitecore d10 for nearly a decade now. It's not the brightest light, but it is compact and the UI is the best I have ever seen used. And the operation is totally silent. Well, over the past few years when the battery got low it started operating funny, but a fresh battery fixed it...

    ultrafire flashlight flickering - help fix? or find a replacement

    you know, after I posted this I got smart and grabbed a 3rd battery (the first 2 I tried were causing problems) that I had recently received in the mail and tried it. The flickering is gone. so I guess it had something to do with the old batteries. So good news, my flashlight works now. Bad...

    4d maglite bulb replacement

    I agree that a more modern flashlight is a better light. heck, a dbs or even a spear clone would smoke it, but he's an older guy, had mags forever, and would not have to deal with new lithium rechargeable batteries. in effect, I am willing to pay more to give him familiarity. besides, a bigger...

    4d maglite bulb replacement

    my boss has several 4D maglites and wants to make them better. I know that malkoff seems to be highly regarded, but $70 bucks for a replacement led seems steep. are there any other good options that would be a huge improvement over what he has, but maybe not be top of the line? terralux has this...
