    Sold/Expired Sold: Hotwire minimag

    This is a minimag customized with the AuroraLite Hotwire Kit that was popular a few years ago. This light is intended to be a super bright incan, built for output, not runtime (which is ~30 mins). Great "sleeper" light... quite fun to tell your friend that you're not sure why his light is so...

    Nuwai Q3 - needs an update

    So back in 2005/2006 I started out with a stock nuwai q3, and slowly upgraded the LED, driver board (fluPIC), reflector, bought Li-ion batteries and added glow paint and glow o-rings. I don't often actually use this light because of the noticeable flickering/shuttering because the PWM on the...

    Best and Brightest Headlamp Available

    I have to start off by saying, I've never been caving, so I might be completely off base here but.... why would you want something that bright in a completely dark environment? If you'd have something that is super bright with tons of throw, you'd basically only have a tunnel of ~10 degrees...

    Looking for some Antenna HDTV help...

    Out of his links, I'd say the TVfool.com website would be your best bet... especially if you have a directional antenna (generally anything other than rabbit ears). You may very well not have your antenna pointed in the correct direction, thus picking up a reflection of the signal + not the...

    Sanyo eneloop 800 mAh or 2000 mAh

    low discharge is referring to how rechargable batteries generally loose charge even when not in use. This can be fairly high in "regular" rechargables - loosing 1/2 the charge in a week is not unheard of. (its generally around 20%). The low discharge rechargables will have less mAh capacity...

    Best Single AA/AAA Flashlight?

    I've EDC'ed several different AA flashlights over the last few years. Started with a Fenix (forget model), then a Jetbeam Jet 1, the dexlight, the Nitecore Defender infinity, and now the NiteCore D10. My problem with each light as I progressed was that I couldn't find one with an interface...

    RCR123, low mode, Cree, bright, small, cheap

    I think you misunderstand how these 5 mode lights generally work. You don't need to cycle all of the modes... they work like this. Full click for on - usually the brightest setting tap the button for the next setting, etc, etc. Full click For OFF If you just want the high mode - click on +...

    PT Apex Pro - Protected Li-ion too big?

    I've done a bit of searching for rechargable protected li-ion cells for my Princeton Tec Apex Pro headlamp. I have not yet found a protected cr123 cell that doesn't have some disclaimer that it is longer than a normal cell. I really want to use protected cells, but I don't think the extra...

I would guess that if it doesn't turn on at all, or the...
