    Any soldier or policeman here to tell me about whether tactical=throw

    Both, but not together. for room clearing, flood only, for distance, throw only. the flood portion of a beam is pointless because the hotspot is what your eyes adjust to. Ideally, an aspheric mag mod with a focusable beam would be best - one that goes from very wide spot with no flood to...

    Seoul P9?

    Has anyone seen this? http://www.acriche.com/en/product/prd/zpowerLEDp9.asp 25 lumens from a 5mm package (that is the package size right?) Looks like it would be a great replacement for anything with a 5mm led. Any idea where to get them?

    Best batteries for coin cell lights

    Are all 2016 batteries the same (assuming they have a charge) or will some deliver more current in a micro light? i ask because the energizer 2016s at battery junction say thay are for low drain devices. maybe they are all the same (20ma is low anyhow) but i wanted to make sure. if they could do...

    Fenix L0D Aspheric possible?

    I used a 1" piece of pvc pipe to fit a 1" aspheric lens on my rexlight. its removable and focusable with 1 hand. to give it a tight fit i added some velcro tape to the inside of the pvc pipe (the fuzzy side of the velcro). it works like a charm, and i think an lod would be even better with the...

    Bike Light mounts

    cateye terminology just to be sure before i order one, does the cateye h-24 bracket include the QR plate? are they calling the QR plate a spacer? hard to tell from the picture. if so i think its the one for me. also, does that QR plate work on all of their brackets?

    I need lots of flood and lots of lumens... Suggestions?

    i have also noticed i prefer diffused to bare led. a bare led has very sharp shadows due to being a point source of light, but if you use a diffuser, the diffuser effectively becomes the light source, so the light source would be much bigger and soften the shadows. :thinking: is there any other...

    Dark in New York City?

    haha i have the same problem here in boston, and ive come to realize that too many of my hobbies (flashlights, astrophotography, mountain biking, etc.) make absolutely no sense in the city. luckily i work past midnight and get to rock my homemade bikelights on the ride home, but even the...

    BAD FENIX REBELS?

    What about modding a fenix with an aspheric lens for super throw?

    Welcome to CPF! use http://theledguy.chainreactionweb.com/product_info.php?cPath=48_50_65&products_id=136 i used this 1/2 acrylic ball on my modded rexlight, and it focuses perfectly and at least quadruples the throw. i think it is spheric, not aspheric, as it is a half of a ball, but the...

    nice work! dont you love it when the wife actually wants you to buy leds? i had previously done under cabinet lighting, but i wont link to that thread, since it was my first project and was mostly me asking things like "why does it need a heatsink?" in the end, after much advice from the...

    Where to get Q4-R2 on a small board (16mm or so)

    ok that worked! i did it on the stove, set to medium. took about 10 seconds to melt the solder, than i moved it strait to an aluminum slab sitting on an icepack. now my rexlight has a WC Q5 driven by RV7s AA board and gets 500ma at the led. the Q5 i used has a high vf. i need to find one with...
