    Turning Your Favourite EDC light into a headlamp

    My headlamp is very comfortable and the adjustability of the lamp elevation angle is good to have so it still clearly has a place with things. OTOH my EDC with the backwards clip is always with me and works very well. They made the clip with a dimple that makes it extremely secure, I've done...

    Turning Your Favourite EDC light into a headlamp

    I really like that my EDC has a clip that switches around for this very reason:

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    The droplets in fog act like the little spheres in the reflective paint the use on the roads and reflect a good portion of light straight back to the source. It's why fog lights on cars and motos are mounted way down low...

    keychain flashlight EDC

    My EDC does red and I don't really need a keychain light. If I did I'd consider the Thumb just because I really like the dual white/reds. I ordered a half dozen [white] Tubes at <$10ea with shipping and gave them away - I've been more than compensated for them in beer alone

    keychain flashlight EDC

    +1 on the Nitecore Tube. They are very inexpensive ($10), very slim and small, internal recharger that uses the micro-USB everybody has and what I give away to people knowing they will have them for a long time, always find them useful and appreciate them. I am a sucker for any light that will...

    Creation of a revolutionary flashlight - Sydney Australia

    You should probably be looking at in W(atts) and Wh's instead of A(mps) and Ah's. For 4000lm on XHP-70 you need about 30W (28.8W = 4.8 A @ 6 V or 2.4 A @ 12 V) so to run for 3.6h you'll need >100Wh. A 3500mAh (@ 3.7V) 18650 will give you ~13Wh per cell or about 8 cells (8 x 3.5Ah x 3.7V =...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Although I wrapped some silicone tape around the end of my EDC (MT10C w/ EC11 tail cap), that will only prevent teeth from chipping not drool. However I have *really* come to appreciate the reversible pocket clip on this. Put it on backwards and it clips very nicely to a hat brim and while not...

    Ain't that the truth! Every time I revisit after some time away my wallet ends up lighter...:shrug:

    Creation of a revolutionary flashlight - Sydney Australia

    I'm presently a contract electrical engineer that's done a lot of work with power - everything from micropower to hundreds of amps and many thousands of volts. I'm no stranger to lighting and been in industry for 35years. I've also managed projects, etc. Being in Arizona I'm pretty far away...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    We are heavy into the monsoon season. It's very humid for out here right now - dew point is 26C (79F) but we had another storm last night so the ground is saturated making it a lot higher than the ~20C (68F) it was most of the week and either way, it's still lower than most of the rest of the...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Definitely fun, I ride the heck out of it even in the AZ heat - prolly 80+mi/wk. Running with power-assist gives a very superhuman feel to it. I'm an old guy with one leg (well the other one is made of graphite and titanium) so pedaling the tank on pedal power only is....... slow. But it will...

    Knife & Light pics. (Identify your images!)

    Barrage sounds right - but I don't think it's the mini, it's got a 3.9" blade. I went though several knives and got this other Benchmade - it's super thin with about a 3" blade and I really like it, especially how it is almost nothing in your pocket and it's the one I will travel with. I was...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Rode electric bike Friday and got slammed in a major thunderstorm (3/4" in 45 min! :eek:). Had minor electrical issues and ended up turning off the electric assist and rode several miles home on pedal power only. Decided I needed to put dielectric grease in all the little connectors, silicone...

    Knife & Light pics. (Identify your images!)

    Nitecore MT10C (on EC11 body), Benchmade something or other - I've long forgotten which one. It's gotta be ten years ago it was acquired and I still *really like it*...

    EC11/EA11 MT10C/MT10A - can we swap bodies and heads?

    I got my MT10C. The head works as expected on the EC11 body and for me at least the EC11 head is working on the MT10C body although the UI is sort of nonsensical - sort of. I really like the MT10C head a *lot* better than the EC11. I haven't got a lot of time on the MT10C yet but the red...
