    BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV)

    Mods for the Romisen rc-g2? I'm actually interested in moding this light to that it has better flood characteristics. I still would like it to have a good throw but am happy to sacrifice a little and divert it to a bit more flood. Anyone have any ideas what I could buy off DX to do so if it's...

    Got my E01

    Re: Got my E01, and it's dim :( Glad I didn't go with it then. I'm happy with the buckle. Might not have huge run time but then I don't use it for bushwalking and to be honest for the light it puts out I'm happy with it's running time so far. When I want light I want a bright light. Usually...

    Is Kai Domain having problems?

    My only advice to you is avoid KD like the plague. Seriosusly more trouble than it is worth. They stuff up orders and don't want to fix them, their stock indicator is bogus as is their shipping indicator and you wait forever sometimes for the simplest thing even though it's supposedly in stock...

    Hidden Gem - Eastward YJ-XAQ5 18650 - Budget Dereelight!

    You said it. Kaidomain sucks arse from personal experience. They could have the best light in the world and I'd give them a wide berth. The whole thing is unprofessional. Stock levels are bogus. Status indicator are bonus and a myriad of other problems with the service. Stay away. Wait for DX to...

    Should I buy the Maglite Solitaire until I get the E01?

    Yeh I have one sitting on my chain at the moment. It's rather useless. If you are severely desparate it's better than nothing but I certainly wouldn't buy it again. It probably was the best I could do a decade ago but times have moved on. Even back then I was disappointed with it. I didn't get...

    Best AA thrower at DX?

    Can anyone recommend the best brigthest thrower AA torch on DX. Size doesn't really matter and cost $30-$40. Number of AA batteries used would be 1 or 2 to keep it a reasonable size but am happy to consider more if something is really good. I tried reading a few reviews etc but since the tech...

    Stainless Steel C3 Q5 for $67.72!!??

    Simple answer is Kaidomain are rip off merchants. The guys have no clue about customer service or truth in stock levels. I'm glad they are charging a premium so hopefully no one buys from them. I know I'll never buy after my experiences with Kai-Domain.

    Whats the first led light you ever owned?

    Mine was an energizer hardcase LED flashlight (2xAA) that could run for 24 hours straight which I thought was cool at the time. I bought it maybe 2-3 years ago. Wish I knew about this place back then and saved some money because unfortunately the beam on it was pretty hopeless imho. Efficiency...

    ARCManiaExtremeMicroCR2 OSTAR Dragon LED

    haha I thought of a price range of $60-$80 when you said high and then I saw the real figure $190..I'm sure it's going to go like hot cakes at the discounted price :thumbsup: (list $250:sick2:) I like this sales blurb.."This is one of those lights you pull out of your pocket and show your...

    Why aren't better LED flashlights sold in local retail stores?

    I agree with the poster. I too don't need to use a flashlight alot. 99% of people don't need it. Tell them to spend $50 on something they might use once a year and it starts making sense. Most people don't do much that requires a flashlight and thats why no one cares to spend that much...

    Kaidomain or DealExtreme?

    Wish I'd found this thread earlier and knew what I do now:banghead: Hopefully the stuff I ordered won't be faulty.

    Kaidomain or DealExtreme?

    I haven't been impressed with Kaidomain. The stock status seems to be bullshit half the time, the shipped indicator is full of poop as well. Flagged shipped two weeks ago since I visit the site daily to check status I noticed it. Got a little worried because item should of been delivered if the...

    Best AAA for $20 or less?

    Yeh I know. It's awfully tempting given what everyone is saying... Anyone know if you can set the primary mode to default to the super high beam on the L0D? It kind of sounds dumb how you have to cycle through 2 modes (spending close to 3 seconds) to go into super highbeam mode. My way of...

    Best AAA for $20 or less?

    See that insanely brighter than my solitaire is what really is a selling point for me... 4x kind of sounds ok but is a bit disappointing given I can get x50 more albeit over a much shorter time.. See right there the comment "wow-thats-bright-and-tiny" is what is more exciting to me. I've...
