    Mini UV dedicated torch ?

    I already investigated that option, but the technology seems unreliable. Besides, the IP rating would be superior with an all-in-one device.

    Mini UV dedicated torch ?

    More space conscious now I am looking to unify all my chord connected devices with a single standard, be that micro-USB or type C connector. Presently I rely on a TANK 007, which takes a single AA, and with a spare battery has become too bulky. Given how little I use it, this has pushed me...

    Wireless charging (UV)

    I also came across the "Nitecore R40" and "WR10", but for some reason they insist on proprietary batteries. Is this to better achieve the necessary burst of power (and endurance) for the strength of light ?

    Outer housing touch operable

    Disregarding the obvious restrictions that such a design would have, are there any examples of the outer casing of a flashlight being the "switch" for the flashlight, so that the hand completes the circuit to switch it on ? The idea being that the object need only be gripped in the palm of...

    Wireless charging (UV)

    Yes, open standards are a must, like the ubiquitous Qi, as you mention. Inductive charging.

    Wireless charging (UV)

    I cannot seem to find a torch (flashlight) of which can be re-charged wirelessly. My needs are in the 400nm spectrum (UV), but if an option exists in the "visible" light spectrum then I would like to know. I am looking for a space saving option, replacing my 007 Tank (L: 10cm/3.94", W...

    USB integrated AA battery for recharging

    One downside that instantly concerned me was the hole for the USB interface, not that batteries claim to be water resistant, but this would be an issue. Some of the reviews mention that certain appliances are too pedantic and don't take kindly to these energy banks trying to pass themselves off...

    USB integrated AA battery for recharging

    Has anybody got an opinion on AA batteries that have an internal USB interface for charging ? I am looking to unify all of my peripherals to charge via USB, and these seem like a brilliant idea, but what about practice ? USB-A USB-micro USB-C

    "Pro" Fujitsu batteries for Electronic Fly Racket?

    In teresting, I thought that the extra power would come in handy as it delivered a shock. You're likely right in that I would get more life from those batteries, sounds like good advice. Thanks!

    "Pro" Fujitsu batteries for Electronic Fly Racket?

    I thought that power consumption and discharge were the same thing? I have a PowerX MH-C9000 and know how to charge the batteries and discharge them to not stress the battery. But as for use in a fly swatting racket I know from previous ones that the power doesn't last long; typically the first...

    "Pro" Fujitsu batteries for Electronic Fly Racket?

    I learned a lot about Eneloop's history from this forum and would like to confirm the "Pro" line for Fujitsu AA's being suitable for electric fly swatting rackets? As I understand it the sudden power consumption of a fly racket is damaging to rechargeable batteries and so I thought that this...
