    New driver from RUSH for the 1x123 "E-Series" lights.

    Thanks for the input. Just checked and found link is not soldered. Probably my fault for not knowing but honestly did not even know about this as my other Haiku is just 3 preset levels and I thought this was the same but with 5.

    New driver from RUSH for the 1x123 "E-Series" lights.

    Hi.no not touched anything - its as supplied by Don. Ordered with 2 x AA tube. The light works well, just gets the flickers telling me low battery after 400mA (not 600 as I stated) used. If it needs adjusting, instead of 2 Eneloop Pro AA's, what 2 x batteries can I use? to get more runtime...

    New driver from RUSH for the 1x123 "E-Series" lights.

    Been using my Hive powered Sundrop almost every day for over two years now. I have it with the 2AA tube for runtime and ease of handling. Very happy. Just one comment, I now have a battery analysing charger and see that I am only using around 600mAh of a 2450mAh battery pair. Could this be the...

    Having a problem with my favorite vinh light.

    Had this myself. What condition are the contacts in the top of the holder? One of mine had cracked but was still holding on - but was not passing current - so was only running on 2 cells.

    New incans - Edison 5C and 7C

    Not seen these mentioned on here so thought I'd ask. On eBay UK I found some very useful PR bulbs - 9V, 0.7A Krypton - perfect for 8xAA NiMh builds. When I got them it said bulbs for Edison 040 torch... Hmm, not heard of that but the same seller is selling these torches new too. Aluminium black...

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    Yes option 2 was selected - mainly because A2's just don't come up for sale in the UK even to rob parts from. It was a VERY tough decision and I did offer a couple of CPF members the same deal - my black A2 for a EDCL2 - but those are expensive too so of course nobody wants to shell out for a...

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    Today I got my replacement light. It's an EDCL2 and I am pleased with it. A successor to the A2 original for sure. My only small quibble is the way it flickers constantly a little bit on low, probably due to the driver circuit, but I am not sure if that is a fault or not. I'll ask on the proper...

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    I don't think I will be able to get it back now as it was either have it returned broken or no replacement. As A2's are borderline impossible to get in the UK I would not be able to fix it easily either. Anyway, will give me a chance to break open my new reserve A2 (also a black one) and this is...

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    Its inside under the lamp - but not able to see it without taking it to bits - which I did not do as returned it to SF for evaluation. Without spares, all A2's are on borrowed time.

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    This is a fair option, but would mean robbing another A2 - which are in short supply in the UK as it is - and it would be criminal to render another A2 useless. Its a real quandary. I suppose unless there is someone really wanting a black A2 the offer from SF is fair - and they are firm that it...

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    The lamp regulator and driver PCB is faulty. LED's work fine, lamp does not. It would not light after the light got warm when I used it continuously for 20 minutes one time, then would not turn on again after that. I fitted fresh batteries then just a small burning smell of the IC failing.

    SureFire A2 Aviator warranty still valid?

    Its been a while with SF but I have two choices. What should I do? 1. Have faulty Black A2 returned unrepaired (spares no longer available) 2. SureFire 'destroy' my Black A2 and send me a new EDCL2 Is a faulty - but mint condition Black A2 worth more than a new EDCL2? Advice appreciated.

    KPR20 bulbs - still available?

    After having picked up a 1960's Ever Ready 'Space Ray' - the one with the 4 1/2 inch head and laser focused beam - I am looking to fit a KPR20 (8.63V, 0.5A) bulb but I cannot find them for sale anywhere. I can get PR20 'gas fill' but not krypton. Before I put a wanted ad here on CPF I thought I...
