    What's wrong with my Fenix L1D & every other light I have? Bad contact?

    http://store.caig.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.292/.f They appear to have changed the name of it. I can tell you this stuff is as good as all the hype that goes with it. Here is an example of why i use this stuff. Long time ago i bought a bunch of L1P's but one was very dim. I owned a light...

    Is my soldering iron tip ruined?

    That tip is for the bin. Buy a new tip and be amazed at the difference it will make. One of the jobs i get to do at work sometimes when it's quiet is rework PCB,s I can get a tip to look like that in a couple of days of heavy usage. I can't recommend a decent Weller tip as i dislike almost...

    What's wrong with my Fenix L1D & every other light I have? Bad contact?

    When cleaning all the contacts pay as much attention to the tail cap assembly as you do with the head assembly. My tail cap has been stripped and pro gold added to the contacts including the internals of the switch. Pro gold on all the contacts at the head end with acception to the threads...

    LED traffic lights fading, LED's not working.

    I have not read all the posts as i do not have time but i work for a rail company and have had some dealings with the people that design LED signals. They were having problems with the units loosing brightness and changing colour which was taking them out of spec. After speaking with them for...

    You become a true FLASHAHOLIC when?

    When your walking around the house in your under wear and have your EDC holstered in the elastic.

    Need to scare off some vandals

    How about a small sign put somewhere visable that reads "By the time you have read this you have already been filmed"

    Borealis vs. Dereelight DBS

    The Borealis/Mag 85 will be alot brighter. Imagine the DBS shining at the end of your garden with a nice hot spot and a decent amount of spill to light the rest of the garden. Imagine the B/Mag85 with a much bigger hot spot and massive spill turning your garden to daylight. My mag85 makes me...

    Dented Eneloop

    I did the same in my L2D with Eneloops and thought i killed them. I charged them and then left them for 7 months while keeping an eye on the voltages which were totally normal for the whole 7 months. I did a discharge on them and both cells were still balanced very closely. The cells still...

    Make me love Incans

    You already have a 2D and 6D mag for possible ROP builds. The 2D will need a battery holder that will take 6AA rechargeable's(get a good quality holder) or get 6 D cells rechargeable of course and use them straight in your 6D mag. You will need a glass lens and a metal reflector and the bulbs...

    MC-E: 5C tint or WC,WH,WG tint

    It's easy to look at the numbers and figures and try and find an LED that matches the numbers that the sun gives but in use I've found that this does not work. All i know is that my 5A tint absolutely kills all my LEDS for temperature and colour rendering when used outdoors. I have a...

    MC-E: 5C tint or WC,WH,WG tint

    I have sampled a 5A tint and a WC tint and I have to say i love the 5A tint outdoors and will not be using my WC tint crees for any of my outdoor lights. The sacrifice in lumens is easily worth the better colour rendering i.m.o

    L2D-CE I've just put in a Q2 5A

    On saturday i installed a Q2 5A after a long while of searching i managed to get my hands on some. I originaly had a Q5 WC installed and i can tell you that there is no chance of me putting that Q5 back in my light. The difference in the colours i am seeing is quite simply huge especially...

    Fenix E01 Simulated Beamshot

    The comparison picture loks exactly like my E01 compared to my other lights and yes it is very purple on a white wall but in use the light is fine. It does add a little purple to some things but compared to my cool white L2D Q5 the colour rendering is actually slightly better with the E01.

    Accidently stuck in dead batteries and fried my Fenix? Plausible?

    In the tail cap you have got an aluminium ring with 2 small holes. Insert your tweezers, needle nose pliers or whatever else will fit and turn clockwise to tighten. I tighten mine very hard with needle nose pliers and it hardly ever comes loose. By twisting the spring you are doing nothing...
