    Please Recommend: Arctic Circle Adventure Light

    Dear Thee Illuminated, My nephew is going on an school-sponsored adventure trip to the Arctic Circle and I would like to get him a high quality flashlight. He will be doing some camping and hiking (in freezing cold temperatures) but, beyond that, I'm not sure. Therefore, most of these criteria...

    When I throw my dummy, my mummy and daddy always find a nearby Toys 'R' Us or a... HEY, WAITAMINUTE I'm taking all the advice given here into consideration. I didn't mean to throw the place into an uproar! I'm just trying to learn a thing or two here...

    ...campsite flood

    Anyone of those that would suit the purpose is fine. I'd rather have a giant flashlight but form should follow function and I wouldn't be disappointed with a lantern or a diffuser, if that worked best. Thanks, zespectre! I would say that the overriding concern with the batteries would be...

    OK... I've made a couple of adjustments, hopefully that narrows it down. Can anyone please suggest a good one? Thanks in advance.

    Hope you can help! 1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? _X_This will be mail-order or Online (location doesn't matter). 2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! :-) _X_Up to $200. 3) Format: _X_I want a flashlight (hand held/self...

    Finding 10280s In The UK?

    Does anyone know alternative uses for the 10280 (I mean, besides powering a Draco)? Because I cannot seem to find any in the UK and I hope I can find one under other Google search criteria for whatever else it powers, if that makes sense (yes, I have already tried "10280," "10280 battery,"...

    'Analog' / Candle Lantern?

    Are there any quality lanterns out there that use candles (as in wax) as a source of light? I wanted one for emergencies, so I wouldn't have to rely on batteries (might go years between use) or oil/butane (flammable and my username isn't a coincidence). Every one I've found is cheaply made and...

    Not-So-Bright, High Color Rendering Rec?

    Many thanks, folks, a wealth of information! About these early LEDs and Luxeon LEDs: is there a particular product that's ideal, particularly low in brightness? I found a few products that said 3 watts and 5 watts -- I guess the lower the better? Also, what's a good price to pay? Thanks for...

    Not-So-Bright, High Color Rendering Rec?

    I need a flashlight that will allow me to select the day's clothes in the wee hours without flipping on the bedroom light (and, thus, waking my wife). I'm posting this in incandescent lights because Carrot's Guide says they're good for color: crucial when you're trying to differentiate between...

    Sold/Expired Wanted/WTB: Mag 2D to Flooder

    Just for future reference, I went right to the Elektrolumens gent and, instead of selling the drop-ins, he's now selling completed mods: suits me just fine.

    Sold/Expired Wanted/WTB: Mag 2D to Flooder

    Thanks for the tips! Now. I did a quick Google but couldn't find any of the products mentioned. Anybody know where I can score these? Thanks again.

    Sold/Expired Wanted/WTB: Mag 2D to Flooder

    Does anyone have anything, drop-in or otherwise, that will turn my Maglite 2D into an indoor/room flooder? Something more concentrated than a lantern but obviously not a focused beam. And, of course, something with more firepower than unmod stock. Please keep in mind, I am in no way...
