    is your wife/girlfriend/significant other supportive of your flashlight addiction?

    My wife thought I was crazy spending what I do on lights, until she actually had to use one. Now she understands, almost. But she recently has gotten into salt water fish aquariums. She can't say another word about what I spend on lights/knives or guns. At least when I spend $100 on a light, it...

    How green are you with your "used" AA cells?

    I have seen them at Target and Best Buy for sure. But I'm sure most places that sell Duracell rechargable batteries will have them, Walmart, ect. The packages are marked, "precharged" and will of course have white tops. I have found a few white tops in with chargers. I'm personally watching to...

    Gas build up in my EagleTAC P20 A2

    I had this happen using Duracell alkaline batteries in a LD20 Fenix. I usually use lithium primaries with no problem but had to use the alkalines in an emergancy. I wasn't using it on high to conserve the batteries. I have duraloops and never had this issue with them.

    Damaged 18650 ?

    I tried my AW 2600mah 18650 in a new light and wouldn't work. Tried it in the light I normally keep it in and still no light. Thought it needed recharging and after putting it in the charger, only had green light. The charger is working, will charge other batteries. I tried other batteries in...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    I pulled the trigger on the G25C2 and it came in the mail Friday. I was wondering how it compared to my TK40 and went outside with both ASAP. The TK40 has a tighter beam, but to my eyes is no brighter. The G25C2 has a huge usefull spill. Both lights will light my neighbors shed three houses...

    How many lumens is your edc?

    Most of the time, 50-100 lumens is fine for me. I edc a quark 123 and love the 200+. If walking through a dark parking lot and you want to light up a big area, its great. Its like a car, extra power isn't always needed but when it is, it's there. I'm personally looking for a 300+ replacement...

    Help selecting a flashing for my son's boy scout camping

    I have the Fenix LD20 and love it, but I have a problem using alkaline batteries in it. I think an Eagletac P100A2 XPG would ba good choice, simple two mode, bright enough to scare bears and the occasional snipe hunt. Another idea to throw out is the Thrunite Ti to wear on a paracord, low power...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    Just curious, were you refering to the TK40 or TK41 ? The TK40 is rated at 630 lumens, while the TK41 is rated at 800. I don't know if the 770 claim on the GC25C2 is ANSI lumens or not, but I would expect the G253C2 to be at least equal to the TK40. I was hoping for at least that. Maybe the...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    I was thinking of replacing a Fenix TK40 with the G25C. Does anyone have both to compare ? Also, does anyone have an opinion on this plan. Have to justify buying another light by selling excess. The beam shots of the G25C look great, but not sure how much better than the Tk40 in person. Thanks...

    R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens

    The world lost a great think, auther and critic today. He noted for numerous books and articles dealing with many social issues. He came to the worlds attention after writing his book, "God Isn't Great". A man not afraid to speak his mind or live life to its fullest. The world will be a lesser...

    Potential Christmas Present Suggestions?

    I think the suggestion of the LD20 is good. I think the 4Sevens quark AA2 would also be a good idea. I don't if your going to find a light using AA's that will get over 2 hours on a turbo mode. Eagletac has come out with sevral good lights in the AA range. It will depend on prefered user...

    "Another" Duraloop question

    Thanks for the info. I did finally find one detail pointed out that, I didn't notice while staring at the Sanyo site. :ohgeez: The new Sanyos have a gray top while the old ones were white.

    "Another" Duraloop question

    I feel like every question has been asked regarding Duracell batteries and Sanyo batteries, but here's one more. I have searched and found nothing about the new Eneloops being repackaged as Duracells. What I am looking for is there anywhere to tell if the precharged Duracells are still the older...
