    surefire lego Q

    I figured it wouldn't work. I guess what I was thinking was a Z32 bezel on an M3 must have been the older Z46 bezel that looked just like the Z32. I take it there is no adapter to go from the larger M3 tube to a smaller bezel. Guess I will just pick up a C2 centurion tube to go with my Z32 and...

    running LED's off 12V lantern battery

    So I would be better off using 8 D cell batteries vs 1 12v lantern battery. I was not planning on using a door switch on it, primarily I go in it every morning and grab something off the shelf, then before I go to bed I put something back in. No lighting needed for the most part. I was going to...

    running LED's off 12V lantern battery

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience using a 12v lantern battery to per LED lights. I am pretty much looking at like the LED strip lights that usually plug into the wall and run off a 12v converter. My primary concerne is since the converter steps the 120 down to 12, will they run off...

    SolarForce Drop in Q's

    I was playing around with the L2t that has the XM-L U2 in it running off 2x123 primaries last night and noticed that if I turn it on for any decent period of time, maybe 5 mjn, the body of the light starts to get warm to the touch. Is that normal? The Malkoff I have in my surefire G2 is the...

    SolarForce Drop in Q's

    When you say the low voltage Solarforce drop in that pulls 1A, are you refering to the one that is .8-4.2v?? Reason I ask is Lighthound also lists an XM-L T6 as "Low Voltage" but it says the input voltage is 3.7A?? So for the L2m my best bet would be to have 2 drop in's one for running one cell...

    SolarForce Drop in Q's

    I have a Solarforce L2m host sitting on the desk. I also just today recieved a L2T along with an XM-L U2 2.7-9v drop in for it. I put 2 123 primaries in it and it and I am impressed. I haven't had a chance to compare it to my Malikoff M60L powered G2 yet but I am sure it will top that. I am...

    Help choosing a drop in for a Solarforce L2m body

    I picked up a Solarforce L2m body and am trying to decide on what drop in to use in it. I plan on running it with 1 x CR123 battery. My current daily light is a G2 with an older M60LL drop in that I love so I figured I would go back to Gene for another one of his drop ins to use in the L2m. It...

    Help figuring runtime for a 1xCR123 project

    Well as long as the math says 2.5 hours then I am all for giving it a shot. I guess the only real way to know is to build it, slap a fresh battery in it and run it till it dies out. I will be using this as a weapon light on my Rem. 870 with a tape switch so its not like I will be running it...

    Help figuring runtime for a 1xCR123 project

    I am planning on building a single CR123 light, pretty much like a Surefire G2 but shorter. For the LED I am going to go for a Malkoff M31. So my question is, on the Malkoff site he states that the "input voltage is 0.8 to 3.3 volts. It requires 1.2v for full output. The output is approximately...

    looking for ideas on mounts for some 18650 lights

    What kind of electrical power do you have on board the mower? I realize you are looking to use a flashlight but if you have the juice available or the space to mount an extra battery you might be better served by adding aux. lighting or upgrading the existing headlights to higher output or HID...

    Whats the hype about surefires?

    Trying to stay on point here. 0230, loadmaster gives you the 1 min, then 20 seconds, door opens, go go go. On your way out the door your weapon mounted light bangs the door. Your crusing to the ground and a few seconds before your feet hit your dingleberry hits the ground with a light in it...
