    How do you keep from losing your flashlights?!

    The wildcard in this equation is having kids. When I was the sole resident, I knew I was the last to touch anything. Now with 2 boys, I imagine remembering them asking for a flashlight, car keys (they're not old enough to drive), booze, guns etc. Kidding. I've thought about taping my name and...

    Hot objects look the same as cool objects. (Especially if you just heated it up with a torch, fumbled around looking for a tool, then forgot you heated it up in the first place.)

    How do you keep from losing your flashlights?!

    I've lost 2 in the past 6 months. A $100 one & a $50 one. Can't imagine the paranoia I'd have if I ever bought a high dollar one. I'm looking at a single cr123a light. I have a key fob size keyringer on each of our sets of keys. Might put one of those on it. But that could be a bit of a pain. So...

    The World’s Most Powerful Single Searchlight Unit

    Ok. Gotta start with my smart a__ contribution: Will it be able to handle RCR123a's? Would hate to blow it up first time starting it. Non-Smart a__ reply: Great job of documenting your work. That's very time consuming and tedious. Tip o' the hat to you, good sir. WebRep currentVote noRating...

    Should I upgrade my Inova 1g T4 Flashlight?

    I suspect the battery because I'd leave it on the charger for days and it would never charge. I rigged up some wires to the charging points and the we're getting juice. Somewhere around 4v. It's been about 9 months so I can't remember exactly. But if perhaps the charger is faulty too or the...

    Currently using Cr123, can I switch to lithium?

    Ok. I understand it a bit better now. The chemistry necessary to make a rechargeable lithium battery puts out 3.7v and that's the case until someone comes up with some other "recipe" that ends up being 3.0v or whatever. I didn't even realize that batteries don't normal discharge all the way down...

    Currently using Cr123, can I switch to lithium?

    Why is that? All of the NiCad/NiMh batteries are rated lower than their alkaline counterparts. What would it serve to make rechargeable cr123's higher voltage? Thanks! rusto

    Should I upgrade my Inova 1g T4 Flashlight?

    My first generation, A-series (AD3753), T4 flashlight stopped charging. I suspect the battery. I called Nite Ize months ago. They said send it in with $40 and I'll get a new T4. Mine is rated (by them) at 100 lumens. New one, 341 lumens on high. Seems like a no-brainer, but I'm thinking I might...
