    Longhorn Tactical for Fenix

    Good morning all - I searched CPF for some feedback on “Longhorn Tactical,” and found almost nothing. I wanted to pick up a few Fenix lights that are out of stock in the usual places, but wanted to check in here with the experts and see if anyone’s had any experience good or bad, and if it...

    Replacement/Alternative for AW 17500?

    I thought about this years ago, mostly b/c of the dramatic difference in capacity. The biggest downside of my 9p setup is how often I have to charge it (and since it goes from full lumens --> dead, I'm occassionally caught by surprise if I underestimated my usage). I know overready offers...

    Replacement/Alternative for AW 17500?

    Morning everyone - My go-to light is a Malkoff m91b in a surefire 9p with 2x17500 (protected AWs). The cells aren't super old, but today I went to charge them and I noticed that one of them is charging at about 20% of the usual rate. Changed chargers, same result. So it's time for new...

    Looking for reliable AAA clicky with moonlight/firefly mode

    Nice, where'd you find it with a 219C gunga? They're usually XP-L's, right? I would ideally try to find one in black, if possible, just so it stands out less at work. How do you like yours? That does look pretty good! If it was available as a standard light, without the right angle, it'd...

    What Is The Current Throw King Of 1 x 18650 Lights Available Today?

    This seemed like the ticket, at least for the "fits in pocket" class. Went over to skylumen to say "take my money!" and alas, no longer offered. Any runners-up in this size range?

    Looking for reliable AAA clicky with moonlight/firefly mode

    Hello All - does such a light exist? I did some searching/reading here and elsewhere and was just about to settle on an L3 L11C, until I saw the Nichia version wasn't available in 4-mode, and read numerous threads detailing failures of the light after mild drops/use. Which put me back at...

    Buying my first unprotected cells...am I doing this right? (Long read, sorry)

    ETA: it's long, so I highlighted questions in blue. Any tips appreciated. I recently picked up five Convoy s2+ hosts for different projects and now need 18650s for them. I have about 25 LIons on hand, but all have been protected cells (AW, Keeppower, EagleTac, etc.), except for 2 AW IMR...

    Black Glossy Resin Epoxy?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a black, high-gloss resin/epoxy? I think the material used for potting in Malkoff drop-ins looks great. I'm looking to use it in a totally flashlight-unrelated application (making cuff links), but I figured you guys might have a material in mind. Thanks!

    Duty Holder for SF C2

    Thank you guys! Nicrod, the Concealco looks great, but they appear to be out of business, unfortunately. Me+ and Forrest - unfortunately, the existing holder is a Thor's Hammer. The craftsmanship, leather, and finish quality are great - and the backing that attaches to the belt is perfect and...

    Duty Holder for SF C2

    Hi Everyone - I'm looking for a flashlight holder for a SF C2 to go on a 2.25" belt. Leather would be ideal but not necessary; bezel-down carry is an absolute must. Open-top/friction-fit would be better, but something with a retention flap would be OK too. For the last few years, I've used...

    What characteristics make a quality LED torch 'quality' to you?

    First off, credit to Chuckhov for suggesting that I ask this question as a separate thread. It started as a discussion of this ~$60 light: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RCATDJA/?tag=cpf0b6-20 (Solaray Pro ZX-1) Which is remarkably similar to these...

    Anyone know anything about Solaray Pro ZX-1

    Thought that might be a good idea :whistle: Thanks Chuck, will do.

    Anyone know anything about Solaray Pro ZX-1

    Thanks guys! You're right about the re-branding. Here appears to be another incarnation: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SGGFPZA/?tag=cpf0b6-20 So safe to say avoid it? Amazingly, the reviews on amazon are numerous and very good. And while it's less than our surefire and fenix lights...
