    Surefire sues Pentagonlight

    My thoughts exactly. More than surprised, I'd be astounded. Local SF dealers aren't SF. In fact the closest they come to SF is some inside sales rep, who is pretty close to the lowest level of the food chain. That rep is highly unlikely to know SF's litigation stragety either.

    COAST Focusing LED Lenser.. w/pics

    Canuke: I don't have hard facts, but I believe these are NOT off the shelf lenses. Zweibruder goes into quite a bit of detail on optics design on their website: http://www.zweibrueder.com/ENG/technologie/technologie_index.php?id=tec_design

    COAST Focusing LED Lenser.. w/pics

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, but I think you do the Hokus Focus a disservice when you judge it by two factors, 80 lumens and direct-drive. Try one. Those 80 lumens are roped together and corralled by the optics like almost nothing else on the market. Judge it on a dark...

    Surefire sues Pentagonlight

    My thoughts exactly, JNewell. Talked it over a bit with my boss, in fact, just because I found the concept interesting. He suggested that perhaps DoD in the past has needed to procure items where their very best option, the "thing" they wanted the most, didn't quite meet FTC's Made In USA, so...

    COAST Focusing LED Lenser.. w/pics

    Hey Canuke, thanks for the post. In fact, I noticed the exact same thing in HD less than a week ago. 83 claimed lumens where it used to be...60? and the gray finish instead of black.

    123 Battery Shoot Out

    That's great news! Please post here (this thread, ideally, since I'm subscribed to it) if you get any more news on this firmware revision.

    123 Battery Shoot Out

    Here's how I get watt-hours from a CBA-II: 1) Export the data to a CSV file. 2) Pull CSV into Excel 3) The CBA-II takes data at fixed 1-second intervals (HINT to West Mountain Radio - Please make data interval a variable, and please create a constant-power routine...) 4) You have a column...

    123 Battery Shoot Out

    I read George's note and thought immediately... where did this "normal" person come into the picture? No normal people here; this is CPF!! :crackup: When I am asked to recommend a CR123A cell, I normally respond that my own testing has produced two VERY generalized observations: - all...

    Who EDC's spare battery?

    My EDC is a whole system based around both CR123A and AAA. On my person, I carry a P1D-CE plus a Battery Junction coin-cell LED on my key ring. I do not usually carry a spare CR123A on my person, but I do tend to watch the level with a ZTS-Mini and I do tend to use low mode quite a bit. In...

    New EDC - with clip?

    Order placed with Smokey Mt. Since I recently found a brand-new MiniMag in the back of a drawer, I also picked up a Nite-Ize LED module to push the order over $10. (Yeah, I know there are a zillion choices in modding a 2xAA MiniMag, but I just happen to like the floody pattern and runtime...

    New EDC - with clip?

    I was wondering when someone would suggest Novatac. I didn't really mention a budget, so it's certainly fair game. I am not as familiar with Novatac as I should be - mostly, I was unsure if they had a clip. The rest of the details I've picked up by osmosis on CPF.

    Mr. Shawn: Cool - I'm on the Smokey Mt. site right now.

    New EDC - with clip?

    Thanks, Marduke. I am ashamed to admit that I did not know the LOD comes with a pocket clip! Ah, OK, there it is: "Includes a spare o-ring, a split ring, and a pocket clip" My search might be over. A fact I did not mention in my original post is that my second choice after CR123A is AAA. Not...

    New EDC - with clip?

    I'm thinking about a new EDC. Right now, I've got a P1D-CE in my pocket and to be honest, it is everything I want in an EDC with one exception - a clip. I was recently doing a construction project in a remote location (on an island) and I neglected to bring any headlamps. The first time I...
