    How Many Lumens Does the Sun Produce

    Re: How Many Lumens Does the Sun Produce? Forgive me for resurrecting an old thread, but. . . I'm trying to find out whether the latest LEDs approach, or surpass, the brightness of the sun for the equivalent surface area? Some of the current LEDs like the XHP35 are producing ridiculous...

    Acebeam's own 2,600mAh (Samsung) cell is equipped with a 3 MOSFET PCB, according to Chris at Acebeam.

    *new* Acebeam K70: max. 2600 lumens, 1300 meters throw

    I just did two run-time tests with my K70. With a set of well-used Keeppower 2,600mAh protected (Sanyo) batteries, it ran for 1:12 at full power before the PCB on one of the batteries cut out. The other cells measured around 3.4v after the test. With a set of fairly new Samsung INR 25R it ran...

    *new* Acebeam K70: max. 2600 lumens, 1300 meters throw

    FWIW, Acebeam told me: "K70 also need 2.5A current for the max current, so we suggest use Acebeam battery with 3MOS PCB".

    =the= - do you perhaps have your 280m beam shots for these lights, or perhaps the mouse-over version comparing the K60 and K70? Thank you!!

    Best head torch with flood and throw

    Re: Recommend me a head torch with excellent throw under $120 AnonymousShooter - have a look at Crelant's latest offering, the CH10. It uses an XM-L2 and the beam is powerful enough to use while cycling in the pitch dark (which is what I do with mine) but it can be ramped down to a single lumen...

    Tips for effective flashlight use?

    I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned mosquito hunting. I'm one of those unfortunate people who are extremely popular with the little blood suckers, and they really can ruin a good night's sleep. I find that shining a flashlight around the room picks them up quickly, on the walls or ceilings - or...

    "Flashlight Etiquette" for Cyclists

    As a cyclist on unlit roads, including some fast downhills, I need all the light I can get. However, I mount the front light under the handlebars, and shade it with my hand when a car is approaching, which works very well. If I forget, they often flash their headlights at me! I also wear...

    Why I Don't Have a Bug Out Bag

    Some great ideas here. I'd add a good slingshot - or at least the makings of one (latex bands, leather pouches) to the list. Good way to hunt small animals for the pot, using rocks for ammo, without drawing attention to yourself. Garbage bags have been mentioned - I keep a whole roll of them in...
