    WTB - Fenix PD20 new/used (CR123A flashlight; 2009)

    I'm looking for a new or used Fenix PD20. It might have the sub model of R2 or R5, but I am not interested in the Q5 model which is a complete redesign. It looks like this (attached).

    Fenix TK41 Battery Holder Help

    I'm having the same problem with mine. It has been unusable for a few years because the two buttons aren't functioning correctly. They make a nice tactile click, but the contacts seem to be messed up. I'm guessing that it unscrews between the buttons and the heat fins, but I don't want to...

    [Review] Astrolux FT02 2250 Lumen Thrower

    I have to say, the Astrolux FT02 has one of the best mode menus of advanced multi-mode lights I've encountered -- It's easy to navigate, flat, and functional. By contrast, the FT03 is pretty much a garbage flashlight by comparison, with poor drive, heat, and hideous modes... but they gave it...

    Sold/Expired WTB: Fenix PD20 (R2 or R5) (gnarled short head)

    Correct. Just the PD20 host. And so there's no confusion, the host that was used in the PD20 R2 and R5, but not the PD20 Q5 host. Those are different flashlights that bare no resemblance. The PD30 looks like the PD20 Q5, so no, not that one. The PD30 with its head removed is about the...

    Sold/Expired WTB: Fenix PD20 (R2 or R5) (gnarled short head)

    I posted this once before. Years ago my PD20 was stolen while helping a patient at a large house party. It's bummed me out ever since, as this is my absolute #1 favorite flashlight host. Anyone who happens to have one, new or used, I'd be really interested in buying it. Anyone who might...

    eBay Battery Review Witch-hunt -- anybody?

    I mocked WalkIntoTheLight's comment because he didn't read my post. Is this a warning for my previous comment, or was that example acceptable decorum? I simply meant that I would basically repeat the same statements -- "Please read my post before replying with nonsensical unrelated conclusions...

    eBay Battery Review Witch-hunt -- anybody?

    Thanks for reading my post completely, WalkIntoTheLight. You summed it up perfectly! Except that I don't, and never wanted to, buy batteries from eBay. Huh. Fancy that. I'm imposing a restriction on any further negative comments unless they include citations from the original post. Otherwise...

    eBay Battery Review Witch-hunt -- anybody?

    LED Monkey: Chinese people need to use payment processors, too. eBay and Paypal very strict and hard on Chinese sellers, especially, and it's quite ruinous for them to receive too many negative feedbacks, flagged listings, and refund requests, especially within short order. They are required...

    Another dummie recharging question?

    There are a bunch of things going on, so I'll throw out some bullet points and I can elaborate if you have more questions. * Always use a newer and good quality USB cellphone charger, with the highest A (ampere) rating. Your devices will only draw the necessary current that it supports and...

    eBay Battery Review Witch-hunt -- anybody?

    So. I had a little conversation with some folks at eBay regarding the proliferation of fake, cheap, chinesium-ion batteries being sold, and the primary and secondary affects it's having on unwitting consumers and on entire sectors of the consumer electronics industry, not to mention regulations...

    Identify these rechargeable flashlight hosts

    Could someone help me identify these two flashlight hosts? Both are micro-usb rechargeable. One takes an 18650, the other takes a 26650/sleeved-18650/3xAAA-cartridge. I'm interested in opinions about which host has a better reflector/throw, which has a better button/usb port, etc. Images...

    Looking for 18650 Micro-USB Rechargable Cheap Flashlight for Homeless People

    That's alright guy. I know when people don't have something to contribute to a thread, but still want to bolster their post count, they'll tell you all sorts of ways you should live your life. Not what I'm interested in, not what I came here for. Maybe I'm the dummy for having this idea of...
