    Collectability and value of a Surefire 3DL IR light?

    Hi there, I was very lucky to get a like new 3DL. I have never heard of this device (I only knew the newer M1). I found a old auction which was ended with around $380 and which was in a very bad condition (dents, shattered glas). Can someone estimate the value of a new device and how rare it...

    Best suitable Pelican case for a flashlight collection?

    Around 50 lights. I just want to know, which model depth is ideal for flashlights and has two layers. I have no problem to buy more then one case. Thank you for your suggestion. I live in Germany. Buying from them will be too expensive. And I have various sizes (mostly 6P and E2 type). I have...

    Best suitable Pelican case for a flashlight collection?

    Hi there, I breathed in every post of the Pelican case thread but it's hard to figure out, which one suits best to store or move a collection. Some have two part foam, some are a bit deeper. I don't want to cut the foam to get the perfect depth. Or with the two-part model I could change the...

    Fakes along the Surefire 30th anniversary edition?

    That's the problem. If I unseal the pack it could cause loss in value. The serial number is on the inside. Slight differences are ok, if the whole package is genuine.

    Fakes along the Surefire 30th anniversary edition?

    The one thread regarding the 25th anniversary threw me off a bit. I will only open up one of them for personal use. The rest will remain closed to prevent value drop. Or isn't it too bad? I mean, if anything is wrong with the merchandise, Surefire has to deal with it. BTW I get a lot...

    Hi there,I just bought 4x collector sets of the 30th anniversary and wonder, if someone ever got a fake.I found another source discussing the authentic of the 25th edition (which more likely was a fake).I will open up one of them. But I want to be sure, that the rest is genuine too without...

    Surefire Hellfighter (picture intensive)

    Quick question: Can I use an Amphenol MS3116F14-5S instead of the PT06E-14-5S? The plug looks different but the connector looks the same.

    Surefire Hellfighter (picture intensive)

    I'm about to get my third HF and now it is time to work on some issues from the past! 1. Pouch for the HF: I can not find a perfectly fitting pouch for the HF. I ended up with an universal neoprene wrap for cameras. Ugly but usable. Do you have other suggestions? I want something milspec and...

    Damaged Surefire Hellfighter (connector and bulb). Garbage or not?

    Thank you for your fast reply. I don't think that I can get additional picture from the seller right know. Do I have to open my HFs to get the information? Do you think that it is possible that the bulb could be destroyed? What would you pay max for a HF in this condition?

    Damaged Surefire Hellfighter (connector and bulb). Garbage or not?

    Hi there, I already own two Hellfighter and now I can get my third. BUT... it got beaten very HARD! It has a broken connector (every pin is existing) and the seller says, that it might have a broken bulb. I found the spare connector but I worry, that if the bulb is really broken, i'm...

    Best AAA self defense flashlight for key chain?

    Hi there, I just finished my kubotan workshop and now it's time to gear up! I'm searching for a kubotan-size AAA flashlight with a tactical pressure switch and, if possible, with a strike bezel. The Streamlights are looking nice. But they are not exactly, what I'm searching for. It will be...

    Bad run-time with AW batteries!

    Hi there, I only use AW batteries on all of my lights. I use a Pila charger. But m lights doe not have a propper run time and, which is worse ... my Malkoff M60 and Surefire LX2 do not dim. They just turn off. The only explaination must be, that the the voltage of the batteries are not good...

    Padded Storage/carrying bag for up to 20 flashlights?

    Thanks Vinniec5! That is exactly what I meant and already have. The problem is, that lights with more length and bigger heads will not fit in it. I keep searching for THE bag. If the compartments are big enough, I would get two of them for my fixed knives (because in Germany folding knives...
