    Quick li-ion/Charging Question

    Whew! *Sigh of relief* Thanks again for the replies! I never use multicell flashlights or configurations with my RCR123s (or cr123 for that matter). Even though I have 2 sets of protected batts and a surefire 6P/3W dropin sitting close by... I haven't used any batts in it since the cr123a...

    Quick li-ion/Charging Question

    Hi SilverFox, Thanks for the reply. I was getting a bit nervous about using the RCR123 now that I stopped and started the recharging cycle on it. So the cell should be ok correct (Even though it did not complete the charge cycle on the first charger but did on the second)? And for that matter...

    Quick li-ion/Charging Question

    Hi All, Was curious about potential dangers of a power flicker or loss of power during a charging cycle. For example, I popped one of my protected RCR123 into a charger, powered it on, then realized it was not the DSD charger that it came with, so I then unplugged it. Popped the battery into...

    Cree and Flupic

    I was wondering about this very thing. From the cree data-sheets, IIRC, 750ma was the max under constant load, yet under pulsed I believe it was 1A. Newbie did some tests where he got some crees well over 1A but I haven't read the entire thread to see what the conditions were. The sad thing is...

    video card help needed

    Just a quick 0.02 Might want to check your bios and ensure that there is not a cap on the AGP slot. I know my 4200 is capable of running x8 but my slot can only give x4. That 256M card with the latest nvidia drivers should really be pushing pretty good... Sincerely, Shaman

    How to remove lens from Dorcy 1AAA?

    I use to different size sockets and then use a clamp to slowly press one out into the other. One socket(lets say socket A) will be for the wide bezel end, exact size. The other (lets say socket B) will be to push to lens/reflector out into the larger (socket A) when squeezed together. Make sure...

    Anyone use Axel or Tag colonge?

    I rotate the following... Just cause the wife digs em all. Hugo Boss Paul Sebastian Boss I have to agree with Virgo, Aqua di Gio as well as Paul Sebastian and Boss are all that strong. Even a single spray will drop a massive headache on me. On the strong ones, do like I do, take the sprayer...

    Ever done UPS (uninterrupted power supply) comparisons?

    I'm a APC follower. They are rugged, solid, and "just work". Not a whole lot to worry about on them. If a batt. or board goes out just get another and swap it out. Plus if you want features, you can download apcupsd and do all sorts of control conditions on your PC or server. Even if you go with...

    FB1 Switch problems

    Well here is the latest... I originally purchased the FB1 from Lighthound some time ago. I emailed Lighthound earlier today inquiring on the switch and well... Lighthound is sending me a new switch, shipping Monday, at no cost. What can I say, Lighthound is great! I am curious at this point if...

    FB1 Switch problems

    Hi cqbdude, It kinda gets like the "stone in my shoe" situation. Mine is not that bad but it sure does get annoying. Just as a general clear all statement, I am not blaming the maker nor am I upset with the product (or combo). I just noticed a problem on mine that I would like to get fixed if...

    FB1 Switch problems

    Cool, Thanks for the link schiesz. I actually just sent one to lighthound (asking for assistance & direction). I'll gladly send it back, or buy just a new switch board. Lighthound is great so I'll gear up another email for [email protected] to see if anything will come about. I tried...

    FB1 Switch problems

    Hi schiesz, That is one thing that I haven't done. Whom should I contact Vital Gear directly, or Lighthound. Plus I can't remember what the warranty is on these things. Sincerely, Shaman

    FB1 Switch problems

    Hi Seery, Don't get me wrong, I really do like the formfactor and combo itself. From my understanding they are definitely not all like this. Many have TW4 combos that they live by. If I could just replace the inner switch, I'd be happy with it. Don't let my example ruin the bunch...it is a...

    FB1 Switch problems

    Hi all, Just wanted to see if anyone has come across a VG FB1 switch problem such as this... I have a modded KL1 w/ FLuPIC and UW0J, which I love. I love the KL1 + FB1 combo as well, but the switch on my FB1 is really getting annoying. I can move the rubber cover around (roll it with my thumb)...
