    Small Lathe for custom builds

    Hey all, I would really like to get a small lathe. I don't know anything about them other than they make an object spin and they have a cutting blade to remove metal and or wood or w/e you are lathing. I know they are dangerous as well. Are there smaller lathes that would be great for flashlights?

    Olight R50 Seeker PRO IR sensor

    I see if you purchase the LE kit the charging base can some how turn the light on low mode when power goes out. In a live stream Olight stated that this is done through the IR sensor on the opposite side of the tailswitch. I'm trying to figure out how to get this to function on just the standard...

    Tactical Flashlight ring

    I saw the switchback. I was just curious as to the practicality. It looks like it adds quite a bit of size to something you generally want to be small. I don’t have any firearms and really was just curious in what scenario I would use one? I don’t really see a need for it but I’ve never used...

    Tactical Flashlight ring

    Seen a product on Amazon today that’s a tactical ring and clip for your flashlight. Is anyone running one? What scenarios do you use it? Are you even aware they exist?

    Olight i3T

    Its super nice. Feels great in the hand and can really light up the indoors. The beta unit I received only has a single mode. (160 Lumen) They said it will sell for about 20 bucks. If that's true its going to be a great light for the price.

    Olight i3T

    Anyone see the I3t EOS that Olight is releasing? They had it briefly on the shot show pt2. I have the beta version and let me tell you its a cool light!

    Mystery light!

    Curious if anything like this exists? I put a flashlight inside of a Tupperware travel cake holder. [I MG][/IMG]

    Batteries for Four Sevens cr123a lights.

    After sending all the pictures they didn't know why the batteries wouldn't fit.... Beyond the batteries not fitting the light was not operating correctly. While using the Pro interface the tail cap would not perform consistently. Sometimes you could double click it and it would advance to the...

    Batteries for Four Sevens cr123a lights.

    No it doesn't state (R)CR123 compatible. It does mention it can handle the voltage I have many lights that don't specifically state that particular battery as compatible but they are.. It's honestly the difference of a couple mm so I don't understand why they would limit their lights other than...

    Batteries for Four Sevens cr123a lights.

    I emailed FOURSEVENS to find out what secondaries I can buy that will work with their cr123a lights. I just got a quark Smart 2 cr123a light and bought the aw RCR123a batteries they have on their site and they don't fit. I also have a first gen quark and bought an additional turbo head for it. I...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    7777s Quark Smart QS2L-X. Got the email to Pre Order and ordered immediately. I almost ordered the first one but I wanted a brighter light and they did it!

    OLIGHT-SRMINI-XML2 Broken easily *Facepalm*

    I've had very good experiences with Nitecore, and now Olight. I had a srt7 that just quit. It was replaced. Then had a tm06 that had an issue with the switch it got upgraded to tm11. I don't know that I consider it an upgrade though because the tm06 was neutral tinted. The tm11 is cool white...

    I never knew this existed until now

    I found an app for Geocaching.com but to find any cool caches where you can trade items you have to subscribe. I was hoping for a small trial period.

    I never knew this existed until now

    This idea of geocaching is very new to me but now I'm super stoked. I can't wait to go on a nighttime adventure! I'm trying to find some good apps for this.
