    John B. Goodenough passes at age 100

    The man that led the development of lithium-ion battery technology, and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for that work, has died at the age of 100. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/science/john-goodenough-dead.html

    *Vintage* RS 22-174B DMM - Refurb possible?

    Bought this meter back when for measuring outputs from oxygen sensors for mixing breathing gases for diving. Thirty years service about and just recently showing signs of age. Can barely measure a voltage. Replaced with an Extech 355 for time being. Fluke 87 be nice but the price, ugh, although...

    Where are all the 1AA flashlights these days?

    Have had a Sofirn SP10 for a few months and think that is a nice light. Others mentioned above, my faves also, Fenix HM23 headlamp and the ProTac 90 1L/1AA.

    SF 6P - multi-mode P60 drop-in & McClicky upgrade?

    The D26 XP-L WW 90 CRI is what I was interested in. I have 4 SFs that run P60. Got some cheap XM-L2s cheap off big river, and, yeah, overkill at 1000lum. Happy to have them running, but can do with 100 lum for the ones in the house. If can have 100-200 lum at MID on a clicky 6P, that be cool...

    SF 6P - multi-mode P60 drop-in & McClicky upgrade?

    Thanks chillinn, will follow up with LF on the low volt D26 specs. edit: Any McClicky fans out there know how that switch does with multi-mode drop-ins? From ON, does the switch cut out on gentle depress, trigger BOD, and count up next level/mode? McClicky says it has moment ON, at least, and...

    any of you ever google your old places you lived drive thru on youtube?

    Bought a 75-yo house in the 90s for 15k. Neighboring props were yards for rusting machinery. Gutted, rewired, walls, and roof. Only barely worth my efforts when sold. Ten years later it was surrounded by yuppie town homes, and still best looking house on the street. Patience would have paid off.

    SF 6P - multi-mode P60 drop-in & McClicky upgrade?

    Been doing some reading and am probably asking on an oft trod topic...upgrading a Surefire 6P. Would the McClicky Z41 insert offer mode switching of an appropriate P60 drop-in, like the Lumens Factory D26? If so, then... Wanting to move over to 16650s from CR123 primaries, what would...

    Are there open source flashlight UIs?

    Looks like pointy pogos, and springs in case hand wobbles while flashing. I guess other hand hits the enter key, then crosses fingers.

    Are there open source flashlight UIs?

    Ok got it now. Found this on the Noctigon Emisar site, a USB FTDI dongle and the pin jig. I get it now. I prolly going look at one of these lights running Anduril.

    Fenix HM60R - bye bye Minimus

    There's no shortcut to LOWEST white light, but from OFF or ON is easy to get straight to RED at 5lum. That might be nifty feature to have, but am wholly unfamiliar with what other modern headlamps come featured with to offer any suggestions.

    Charging the 1.5V rechargeable AA/AAA Li-ion batteries properly

    Yes this is good info, and thank you for posting. I been a AA/123 user for so long, and have little knowledge of newer batt chemistries and charger technologies.

    Fenix HM60R - bye bye Minimus

    To be honest, in the first 5 seconds thought I broke the thing. Then re-read the mode switching diagram and then was good to go. Now seems just plainly straightforward. From OFF is a single click into spot mode. There is memory hold on the spot, no cycling through levels. That's convenient...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Certainly not the last, rather the most recent...Fenix UC35 v2. It's my decennial flashlight upgrade year. Why? Tail click, side mode button, 18650, 1 lum moonlight, 1k lum high mode...pretty standard fare these days, but all new to me. Pretty much what I was hoping for in a new EDC light been...
