I had a 14.4v Makita light and tried to run a Bi-pin Soldered to the contacts (not a pr drop in). Ran a Osram 64623 which was the brightest thing I've seen till after about 5 seconds the plastic body started to melt!! Not the reflector or other but the body below the swivel point! I think the...
what a detailed description of using these!!
You obviously have a passion for photography as well as MTB, great shots (maybe even a little overkill)

This is a good point, but for me, I expect to lose something this small every 3 or 4 years. It would be different with a larger multi tool that is not EDC or keyringed etc.
I think I've lost more money in wrecked lights, blown leds (4 crees on a CPU hotsink!) , and fried boards just simply replacing 5mm leds, than if I had bought the desired light for each project.

I just wanted something for the car or bag with scissors instead of pliers.
I have being doing some searching, does anyone know much about the Paul Chen multi tasker? It has some serious scissors/shears out front...
I'm trying to decide between the gerber shortcut or the leatherman s4.
I've got a few miultitools and SAK's, but wouldnt mind some spare scissors-type. Any thoughts or something else I've not considered.

Just got the cree version today. Build quality is average, typical of a real no name headlamp but the throw----- its somewhere inbetween the P3D on turbo and high. The beam flood/spill is the ugliest i have ever seen, and I'm not really picky. Its very noticeable in outdoor use (not one to...
