    Fenix LxD/P2D boost driver revealed. 7/16: more (good) pictures of inside the driver.

    Wow lot of great work there. You may in the future might want to cover up some of the numbers on the parts if you dont want to protect the trade secrets. Those are great pics you can see so much detail! I am not sure anyone is going to make a cheap copy that is not a cheap design though from...

    light for a motorcycle

    I like to run 85-100W in my bikes. I have not seen many problems with using high watts It is a rare bike that wont do it. Simply feel the outside of the wire after riding the bike. Yamaha and Kawasaki never have had a problem but they use relays. Honda and Suzuky can rarly ahve a problem but it...

    light for a motorcycle

    I hate to say it but LED's would not be my first choice or even my second for multiple reasons. Simply a higher watt stock bulb can do wonders if your wiring is up to it. For some bikes a HID would also be a good option in place of the normal bulb. Also note that bike's often let their volts go...

    What old light would you like to see remade/updated?

    Yup I would love one of the UK 2AAA that is just a little brighter.(Trauma Nurse) True waterproof is a huge bonis. Just a little more light and a little more run time by using a under drived Cree perhaps. Just about any waterproof cree with dual AAA would be sweet even at very low amps.

    Any nice 2x AAA pen-style lights?

    I have one of these in the twisty format and it is a near perfect light except it could be brighter but really it has more light than I need for anything I ever use it for. Dispite the lower rating the LED version seems much brighter than the Incandesent. I am a nurse and love the fact you can...

    thermal-epoxy

    No you can only test one thing at a time and I doubt it even occured to him that Epoxy alone would be enough. His test was a home made compound aganst a control and it worked OK. Here is another test but I doubt they used enough samples to prove the results. Epoxy for CPU Cooling Another...

    cree xre vs domeless cree xre vs Lumileds K2 and Lux3 in 3D Maglites! Lotsa pics!

    You might want to avoid the term "obvious" bad mental hygene. Almost a sure way to make sure you are wrong. Taking off the cap changes the color of the beam or at least of the spill. I pulled off the dome from one of these XR-E lights too. I was able to put it back on and off to see that I...

    Cree XR-E's in transit for modding.

    Yup 15min is all some really need in a EDC. If you need more get a biger light than a AAA. I am interested too subscribing to thread. I cant wait to see what these things do also.

    Recommend me a good work light for my dad

    LED's are great for working in the dark as long but really it is going to be very hard to beat a incanesent especaly the ones with the larg work rechargers like those that are on the protable electrice drills. Those are very nice even though they are not very sexy. Until they get a little more...

    Arc-P AAA or UK 2AAA Mini Pocket LED

    The dual AAA UL light that is end to end is very durable had it for a wile now very nice side for a pocket not heavy like most led's so the extra bulk is not an issue in real use- for me at least. It has survved in my tool box and pocket for about a year others have not lasted a month. Not...
