    Clarification sought on mAh vs. mWh...

    I think that an understanding of the fundamentals is what you are missing here. You need to understand the relationship between voltage, amperage and watts. Watts = Volts x Amps Mah = milliamperes per hour. This means that this battery can supply xxx amps for an hour (in theory). As others...

    Anodizing is probably the only reliable method.

    Color change due to hot leds/dies? (tri-led 20mm lenses)

    Is it possible that the extremely bright red die is burning an image into your vision? This will cause you to see green remnants in your vision for a short period of time. Sorry for my lack of a more technical description.

    Testing AW P18650 -31 High Current Draw

    Re: AW P18650 -31 not even able to supply 4.5A continuous... You may want to consider editing the title of this thread. Since the batteries are clearly not the problem.

    Quick Question about XM-L PCB Board

    Yes, they are bridged to the pads on the underside. But you would have to scrape away some of the silicone which covers them in order to test them.

    just smoke some leds

    If you wired them parallel then you gave them nearly 4 times too much voltage. You need to wire them with 3 in series and a resistor to drop the excess voltage.

    How do you guys add a clicky to the mag tailcap?

    Unfortunately, no I don't. But I can tell you that the bare aluminum area is a spacer which is threaded internally for the McClickie, and externally to thread into the inside of the tailcap (which was also threaded).

    Any other compulsive battery aligners here?

    NEWBIE question about XPE, XPG, XML and the Fenix Pd32

    The two most important components of any "Made in the USA" light are still produced overseas (the LED and the battery). I understand the importance of supporting the economy of the country in which I live (I think...), but then again maybe I don't. The point is: I'm not going to buy expensive...
