    Surefire Fury

    I use Keeppower 16650 with no problems. Runtime should be about the same.

    Show us some beams!

    Here is a beamshot I really like of a hotwired 20W 3C.

    Your 'feelgood' beam - lets see it!

    My feelgood beam is candle light. In a dark room its enough to read by.

    Surefire Fury

    I had the Intellibeam and was not happy with it in the long term. The automatic dimming feature is really more of a gimmick, plus the regulation on the new Fury's is also not great. I ended up selling it. The classic 500lm Fury's are great and will run perfectly on a single 16650 at full...

    Small hobbies

    I've gotten into making my own beeswax candles. I just made my first two yesterday; two 10" taper candles out of bleached beeswax. It's very easy to do, now I'm just figuring out what the ideal wick size is to maximise burn time. I'm keeping track of how long they've been lit. 12h 30m is the...

    Den Haan Dutch Brass Lantern

    Duplex burners Kosmos burners Flame disk burners Ones with a disk are hard to find these days. I think they may still be in production as there is a website selling them, but it might be NOS. I dont know of any finished lamps using these styles any more (aside from Aladdin mantle lamps). The...

    Den Haan Dutch Brass Lantern

    Among others I've been looking at this brand for wick style indoor petroleum lamps. Ive looked primarily at DHR (Den Haan Rotterdam), E.S.Sørensen and Delite. From what I can tell the biggest difference compared to cheaper lamps is that these will use round wick Kosmos style burners or double...

    UltraStinger Bulb Upgrade

    There are also these slit lamp microscope bulbs available that come up when googling the Carley 1499. There are 12V ones available but seemingly only at 30W or 50W. Mostly quite expensive. I wonder if these would fit better?

    UltraStinger Bulb Upgrade

    When clipping the pins of my 10W 64410 I am able to insert and focus it correctly. But it doesn't sit very securely of course. If I were to bump the head against something it might shift or even fall out. But it does work. I could do the same with any 20W bulb of course. I would likely be able...

    UltraStinger Bulb Upgrade

    Thanks! The WA1160 seems to be discontinued. I'm guessing this was a 6V bulb, which might make it difficult to use with my planned 2xli-ion setup. What made the 1160 different from other G4 bulbs? I do have 10W Osram 64410 aswell as 20W 64250 laying around. In my 3C Maglite in which I use these...

    UltraStinger Bulb Upgrade

    It's a 5x sub C pack, so I can only fit 2x21700. I might be able to fit 3x18650s, but there wouldn't be any space for additional electronics. I wouldn't be able to construct such a regulator pill myself anyway, so I'd rather go with the simpler solution of finding a bulb that can handle the...

    UltraStinger Bulb Upgrade

    Hi everyone! Been gone for a little while due to personal matters but I'm back now! I've got this Ultrastinger and been wondering if there are any halogen bulbs currently still available that would give a little extra brightness. In truth I'm looking to build a battery carrier for 2x 21700s, so...

    Thought I'd lost a light

    I once lost a 14k gold screw from the case back of a ladies watch. After two hours or so of searching, I found it in one of the cuffs of my trousers. Imagine how I felt!

    Streamlight Stinger Color Rite

    Regular Xenon bulb. Prob about 3200-3400k on a full charge.

    Streamlight Stinger Color Rite

    Looks nice. Its good to see them offering HCRI options. I like to use my xenon Strion from time to time, or my ultra stinger and Maglite around the house. But my 3000k HCRI LED lights do pretty much just as good of a job. When switching between a M61WLL & a LF incan head on my MDC, its almost...
