    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    Well it’s been a couple weeks now and all I can say is it’s great. The light gets used nightly and always on high. I recharge about once a week or so. It’s exactly what I/we wanted and man, does it light up the place. Thanks, again, everyone.

    Has EBL Improved?

    Thanks. I just bit the bullet and bought some Eneloops. I figured why screw around.

    FYI, I am awaiting the arrival of the Convoy M21F 21700 flashlight as I write this. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful input.

    Li-Ion D Cells

    I may do that some day. I can also see how flashaholism can be addictive 😁

    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    @PaladinNO The details I have assembled so far are as follows: So far, this is what I have: Convoy M21F gray 21700 flashlight LPH73B emitter 4000K color temp. Reliance INR21700-RS50 5000mAh battery. Now I’m guessing I’d want the orange peel reflector? I finally found beam shot of the M21F...

    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    Thank you, @PaladinNO I'm currently contemplating a Convoy M21F, which was recommended to me as well. They seem to be very popular lights.

    What's your point?

    Li-Ion D Cells

    @Schokokeks no autographs, please 😁 Very cool, I'll watch it in a few. BTW, I follow @Lumencraft (Matt) on YouTube. His video, Stop Using Alkalines in Your Maglite (Here’s What to Use Instead), is what reminded me to check mine and here we are.

    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 😁 @snakebite that's why I ask questions. I'm not up on flashlight technology; I'm simply an end user.

    XTAR BC8 Does Not Indicate Full Charge

    Solif red. I've never gotten a flashing llight, red, green, or otherwise. .

    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    Just for the heck of it, I was looking at reasonably priced ($50 or less), somewhat powerful (3,000 lumens or more), flashlights with a decent throw (200 yards or more). Now my missus and I are seniors, meaning technical complexity is not our thing. We would, however, be using this light every...

    Li-Ion D Cells

    To add, on Google calendar I set up a reminder at a six-month interval to test/charge these batteries. So the lights and radios should always be good to go.

    XTAR BC8 Does Not Indicate Full Charge

    I have a XTAR BC8 charger I bought a couple of years ago. It's well kept and used maybe once a month at most. All of the sudden, it seems the green full charge lights never come on. If they do, they go back to red after a bit. I tried to charge six, old, Eneloop Pros and they never charged...

    Li-Ion D Cells

    @Macgravy thanks for going to all that trouble to assist me, much obliged. Previously, I believe I said I picked 18650s because I had two spares for my Wuben lights and wouldn’t have to buy batteries. I did find a 2x 18650 Li-Ion to 3D-Cell Maglite Adapter - conversion w/ LED bulb on Ebay for...
