    Advice: Flamethrower needed.

    I guess I misunderstood, I read in the thread where people were going to be sending them their lights. That's a whole different story. I'll definitely be checking him out. Thanks for the heads up!!!

    Advice: Flamethrower needed.

    It looks like that's a $280 mod service on top of a $170 host. Way outside of my budget. Looks cool though. Yeah, the strike/restrike/bulb replacement isn't something I want to deal with, I'm sure they're cool if you like HIDs though. I don't know, maybe 400, 500 yards? Looking at your...

    Advice: Flamethrower needed.

    I've been away from the flashlight buying scene for a while, and I've made due with the lights I have for a while. My EDC is a SST-50 Pocket Rocket from Download (still going strong 4 years later). I've been using a 3x cree XM-L, 3x 18650 for "more light" type work (a Trustfire light "rated"...

    Surefire knurling, best in class.

    Side note: Apparently, when amputated fingers are reattached, they no longer wrinkle in response to prolonged moisture. :ooo:

    My first modified maglite - 2500 Lumens Goal

    Looking good, can't wait to see it fired up! Is the voltage monitor a function of the H6Flex or is it something separately installed?

    Is it safe to charge IMR 26650s inside Mag in series?

    I didn't think I could charge them in series, but I wondered if anyone had worked out how to charge them individually without removing them. I'm replacing the switch with a push pot so I won't have the negative grounded to the body any more and I'll have to run a - wire to the tail spring. I...

    Is it safe to charge IMR 26650s inside Mag in series?

    Working on a SST-90 Mag with 2x26650 in series. Is there a way to safely charge them in the light without removing the cells? When I built a ROP years ago I installed a DC socket in the cap similar to this one to charge the NiMh pack. Is there a safe way to charge IMRs the same way?

    Make It Your Own

    Wonder if I could find a chuck for my drill press that would open up enough to take a small light... Looks great, OP.

    Upgrading HK USP tac light?

    If you want to test the durability of your mod, send it to me and I'll clamp it to my USP for a couple hundred rounds. :D

    Modder services needed: Someone with soldering skills.

    Looks like Russ is going to try his hand at it. I'll update this in the future.

    So I killed my SST-90. Advice on soldering the next one?

    The led came with a label instructing to bake before soldering. The handling instructions say the same if removed from factory sealed bag more than 72 hours (as they are when sold individually). http://www.luminus.com/resource/application_2_1502175316.pdf I have a laboratory hotplate with a...
