    Flashlights that accept 1xCR123A or 1xAA

    I like having a 1xCR123A/1xAA light as duty backup and EDC primary. I recently lost my Quark X with 1xAA tube in Guam during FTX, and settled on a SRT3. In the process of searching for a suitable replacement for the Quark, I noticed the distinct lack of list showing flashlights that can feed...

    Any way to convert P60 reflector to TIR?

    I've been wondering if there is a way to swap the P60 reflector for a TIR optic. I like wider spot and narrower spill of the TIR, which makes the beam more usable for me. Is there a screw-on kit out there that will accomplish this? The ones that I've seen require gluing the optic holder and...

    Almost got into a car accident...

    I was taking the exit ramp through a parkway, until some clueless and impatient idiot in a white minivan decides to cut into it from the far left lane. The road was slick from the drizzle, so I couldn't brake hard enough to come to a halt fast enough, so I ended up swerving dangerously close to...

    Surefire P60 incan LA tint and LED drop-in that will match it

    I have a friend in LE who loves the tint of the Surefire incandescent P60 lamp assembly and will not use anything else because of it. I gave him a neutral white XP-E drop-in two years ago, but I don't think he liked it since he went back to the incan. I looked at the M61 219 and was wondering...

    Sold/Expired SOLD: milkyspit L1 Lumamax eXtreme

    After much deliberation, I have decided that I need to sell my milky L1 eXtreme. My family is moving soon, so I need to raise whatever money to ease the financial burden. The emitter has been swapped out for XP-E R2-WC, as well as the TIR to accomodate the new emitter. The resistor in the...

    1xAAA, forward clicky, multi-mode, "tactical" switching

    So, after looking around for a while, I have yet to come up with such a light. - 1xAAA - Forward clicky - Multiple modes, but no mode toggling via switch In the title, I've mentioned "tactical" switching. I couldn't find another term for it, so I used that. It means that the light does not...

    Sold/Expired WTB: McE2S or McC2S [FOUND]

    I'm in need of a two-stage tailcap for my C2. It doesn't matter if it's the kit or already assembled in a tailcap--although the tailcap should be C/P/M compatible. I'd prefer it to be equipped with 30 or 60 ohm resistor--the higher the better, as it will be used for a light with a high-power...

    Gap between the lens and drop-in in G2 Nitrolon

    One of my friends carries around his G2 with the original P60, so I decided to install a Dereelight XP-E R4 pill with Ultrafire reflector so that it will have higher output as well as ridiculous increase in lux. (Between 13,000 to 14,000 lux.) I inserted the drop-in, screwed the head back on...

    EDC'ing five different lights -- well-prepared or simply insane?

    I don't mean five small lights. I'm currently carrying a TN11 in my pocket; Javelin Shorty with Surefire FM34 and extender on my neck; Quark X Tactical with AA body with Fenix AD401, Ultrafire A3 3-mode AAA, and Arc-AAA UV on my keychain. Supporting all that is an A&P keyring with one AW...

    Dereelight C2H + XP-E R4 1.2A + UF XM-L reflector = The Little Light That Could...

    Back several months ago, another board member that goes by name of orbital has discovered that, by combining Dereelight XP-E pill and reflector from Ultrafire 3-mode XM-L, a tight beam can be produced. The original thread is located here. The photo that he was able to take was impressive, to say...

    Poor Man's Surefire FM54 diffuser

    Eh, not exactly "poor man's", but rather "I don't really want to pay $90 for it". There is a known trick that lets you convert the throwy L1, LX1, E1B or any other lights with 1 inch head into a floodlight... Which involves simply attaching a plastic bottle cap to the head. I always wanted to...

    It took me three years, but I finally caved in...

    Ever since I got into the flashlight game, most lights I've purchased were the inexpensive variety, rarely going past $100 mark. For two years, I deemed them to be good enough. But I couldn't look away from the two models that Surefire offered; E2DL and LX2. The former had one of the most...

    Put my ThruNite Scorpion V2 to a great use tonight

    It's only been a few days since I've started carrying around ThruNite Scorpion V2 with turbo head, but I've gotten a great use out of it tonight. I'm not sure how many people saw me using it, but I'm pretty sure that those who were involved would appreciate it if they realized it. So, after...

    How to remove water inside a sealed head?

    I was at a house party yesterday. Everything was great. They even had a pool. Several people saw my TD-15 and wanted to play with it. I said, why the heck not, I'm too drunk to care. Someone decided to go for deep-sea exploration with the light. That was fine, except the airhead decided to...

    Pleasantly surprised with TerraLUX LightStar 100

    I was looking to purchase several cheap lights to give out like candies to my friends, and saw that LightStar 100 was available at Battery Junction for $15 each, cheaper than iTP A3 EOS by about $5. I grabbed three of them, along with some fresh CR123's for my existing lights, and they threw in...
