    Bulk Buying Maglite Xenon Bulbs?

    Or I could send you all of the old PR flange incandescent bulbs that I've removed from various old flashlights over the last few years...

    New in box Pentagonlight X3 modified to LED

    Here's the build log of my old X3 I just picked up a NIB Pentagonlight X3 that I bought on the auction website. Here it is compared to my other Pentagonlights. The new X3 is on top, the old X3 in the middle, and the X2 on the bottom. This photo shows the reflector assembly from my older...

    Anyone collect Pentagon lights?

    I found my Photobucket folder for the old X3. It's just a bunch of photos that I had taken some 14 years ago but you should be able to figure out what I was doing. My Pentagonlight X3 and mods

    Anybody still installing McClickies into Surefire tailcaps ?

    I bought McClickies along with the brass OR adapters on Amazon. Installation involves removing the twisty guts and replacing everything with what came with the kit. That's the easiest way to go about it. I can also machine my own adapters as well.

    What watch you're wearing?

    I just put a battery into an old Seiko quartz movement titanium watch that my wife gave me about 15 years ago. I still have a gold plated Omega watch that was my dad's (it's one of their cheaper watches from the 1970's). I also have a mechanical Bulova that my wife gave me around the time that...

    Anyone collect Pentagon lights?

    I have an X2 and X3. Both are converted to LED. The X3 has a Dereelight 3 mode D26 pill installed into a chunk of aluminum. I don't recall where I got the reflector from. Electrical connections are through springs. The X2 has a Dereelight D26 LED module and I had made a sleeve that provides the...

    4C & 6C Maglite LED mods

    I have a 2C MagLite sitting at home (yeah, I'm at work) that has a LiteXpress LXB530 LED module from Amazon in it. It's rated at 530 lumens. The flashlight has a PVC sleeve in it and I have a pair of 18650s in there. The tail cap has had the anodizing removed from the end and a Mini-Mag tail cap...

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    The X3 has a larger diameter head. I forgot which reflector I put into mine but it is threaded for the same pills on the back of most P60 drop-ins so I put one together that way. If you just want to put a P60 or Malkoff into your X3 you'll find that you have no thermal path at all since the...

    Any old school computer builders here?

    I used to go to the Robert Austin Computer shows in San Francisco to buy components, bring them home, and have a working computer by that evening. That was in the early to mid 1990's. Now I do computer desktop support for a living. I haven't built a computer in decades. I only have Macs and...

    RARE MAGLITES

    Are the jade color MagLite 2D cell lights rare? I was given one a long time ago.

    more battery recycle waste/recovery

    My team was responsible for maintaining environmental temperature sensors in our buildings a few years ago. That's been given to another team, now, but, when we were doing it I noticed that one of the two AA size 3V lithium primaries would be completely flat while the second seemed to have full...

    Show your nightstand flashlight!

    This is what's currently on my nightstand. From left to right: Jetbeam Ti head on a custom body with a LR44 battery in it. The Ti is broken and only allows moonlight mode 1AA Mini-Mag with Nite Ize 3-LED drop-in. The battery is an AA size 3V lithium primary that I scavenged from the battery...

    Need Mini MagLite AA Incan Replacement Switch Assembly

    BITD people made LED pills that drop into Mini-Mags. I have one on a light somewhere in the house. Made 200-ish lumens (in those days that was considered a pocket rocket). I bought a Mini-Mag repair kit consisting of the non-aluminum parts (and no reflectors) of a Mini-Mag for 10 lights. I have...
