    Is there anything better than/equal to the SkyRC MC3000 out there now?

    There has to be something else out there by now?! Nothing that charges more or larger cells? I would love to see one that can test more cells.

    Zebralight SC600w IV Plus

    Half of my emitter just went dark and is slightly lit with a fuzzy light. It's a month and 3 days outside of its 1 year warranty. It's eaten batteries on getting slightest of drops. I have made so many excuses for this light. I love everything about it except a few flaws. This kills me....

    14500 lith/alk/nimh lights question

    I know there is info out there I just know there is a Tool 2.0 and wasn't sure. I feel like this is pretty important information. I also, for the most part, only use zebralights. I usually charge my cells at around 3.2-3.6. I'm more worried about the cell losing capacity if it's discharged to low.

    14500 lith/alk/nimh lights question

    What? I was asking if it was going to run my cell below 3.0 volts. I don't usually use protected cells. I was wondering if I should in this light because I'm not sure if it will stop at 2.9-3v or keep depleting the cell.

    14500 lith/alk/nimh lights question

    I was looking at the lumintop tool light recently. I've always wanted a 14500 light. A small little pocket rocket. But, I was wondering if it and lights like it detect the li-ion battery? Do I need to use a protected cell? My worry is that it will run my cell to 0.9V or something. This might...

    HDS Rotary w 16340, steps down @~3.4v and shuts off @~3.0v, this is normal

    Re: HDS Rotary w 16340, steps down @~3.4v and shuts off @~3.0v It sounds like a battery with low capacity and POSSIBLY high IR? :shrug:

    What is the consensus here regarding Streamlight in general and the Protac 2L-X in

    I've had great success with streamlight. I own three. I gifted my father-in-law my HL-X. The HL-X is toward the large end for an EDC, imo. But it still fits well in a pocket. Great throw, beam and color.

    Zebralight SC600w mkiv plus - 18650 battery mod

    I realize what you did but your pictures don't tell a very good story, lol. I would rather use another battery just because I paid for that button top!! I'm cheap lol. I use them in my streamlights.

    Made a power bank. But it charges so slow! Questions!

    So I was bored the other day and made a power bank at work. I still need to make a case for it and streamline it, but it works. The only issue I'm having is that it charges the battery pack so slow through the micro usb! It's the usual style 1S setup. But I decided to use 20 cells in parallel...

    Saved an old timer

    I tried doing this with one of the new LED models and I totally scraped up the coating over the LED. It was one I found thrown away and I was bored. I didn't put much thought into it. I tried removing it the same way I did with my incandescent version. By putting a lot of force on the top end...

    Light with throwy flood

    I was surprised by how much throw the Emisar D4S had. At 300 feet I feel like the D1S woul have decent spill as well.
