    Questions about using inverter in van

    Hi, I had a little cabin boat with two trolling motor batteries that powered some LED lights and a small inverter that powered a portable DVD player. The batteries were in parallel, and I could stay out for three nights at least and had plenty of power, then charged them up when the boat came...

    Basic battery questions

    Hi, I have a Meco flashlight that has been doing me well for several years, but recently it has been doing a little flickering and dimming from time to time. I tightened the piece in the end cap that has the switch on it, but that didn't seem to help. I was swapping out between 2 UltraFire...

    Problems changing a drop in...

    Thank you for the suggestion! I found out by accident that the front section is in two pieces. In trying to get them apart I first tried putting it in a vice, trying not to bend it, and then used channel locks on the other section but couldn't grip it tight enough to keep it from slipping in the...

    Do you always carry a flashlight or only at night?

    I always now carry a Meco as a main flashlight and a small single AAA as a backup or in case someone wants to borrow a flashlight, and can't remember a day I never used a flashlight during daylight hours. Also always carry a small adjustable wrench, Schrade multi-tool, small tape measure, razor...

    Problems changing a drop in...

    I have an UltraFire WF-502B and that's easy to put a different drop in in, but I've also got a WF-501B and I can't even get the old one out of it. I got the big spring out and tore the small one off, but still can't get the drop in out. I've tried unscrewing it but can't get anywhere with that...

    Can anyone suggest a step up from an UltraFire WF-501B?

    Yes thank you that helps a lot! But of course it raises more questions as well. How significant a difference is there between the Panasonic batteries and the UltraFire I've been using? I already have a few of them and ordered a couple more last week. Also I saw a P60 style 6V Xenon replacement...

    Can anyone suggest a step up from an UltraFire WF-501B?

    Thanks to all of you for your suggestions! I don't know anything about this it apparently...I don't know what a drop in is, or a host, or a platform, or even an 18560 even though that's what is says on my batteries. I thought it was a part number or something.

    Can anyone suggest a step up from an UltraFire WF-501B?

    I've been using the same UltraFire WF-501B "1-mode" flashlight for years, making use of it a number of times every day/night and often using it strapped to my head for more than an hour at a time doing different jobs. It has been a great tool and very dependable. But now I'm wondering if there's...

    Want suggestions about a new flashlight

    I have an UltraFire WF-502B flashlight I've been using for a couple of years. I've put a lot of hours on it and overall it has done a pretty good job, but it's getting more and more glitchy as time goes on. It doesn't want to come on a lot and when I give it a tap it often starts strobing and it...

    LED strip lighting questions

    Hi, I've just started playing around with some LED strips from Hitlights and like them ok, but am wondering about other options. The ones I got will do a few chase patterns and let you make some colors of your own, but they don't do multiple colors in the strip itself or a chase pattern like...
