    Is there a defuser that will fit the Thrunite TN42?

    It can be for any light as long as it fits, for instance the defuser for the Olight SR91 fits the Thrunite TN31.

    I want the durability of an Elzetta, with the throw of a Vinh mod!!

    What flashlight would be the closest that I can get? I know that my title is actually a pipe dream because here's the dilemma, when talking about Elzetta type durability we are talking about mandatory potted electronics, yet as far as I know modders like Vinh do not mod potted electronics...

    Are single 18650 throwers not popular in here anymore??

    I haven't been in in awhile they used to be all over the place, seems to mostly be multi cell monsters that all the posts are about now. What is the king of throw in single 18650 now a days? Also what would be the king of single cell throw in a larger battery size? I'm so rusty maybe that is...

    So can you place a pre-paid order for Elzetta AVS Bravo?

    I've never dealt with Elzetta before, I thought about ordering this but it's out of stock... http://www.oveready.com/elzetta-flashlights/custom-elzetta-avs-bravo-18650-900l/prod_374.html So...is this an item that I can simply order, or is this one of those products where it is a pipe dream to...

    Beam shot comparison request!!

    THere aren't many people who can do this but I'll ask anyway, for a long time I've been dying for side by side beamshot comparisons of Deft-X and Maxa Beam. If anyone could post them that would be awesome. Deft-X is 1.4 degrees I believe and Maxa Beam's tightest setting is 1 degree. I'd love...

    Are Lithium Iron Phosphates gonna start replacing Lithium Ions?

    The only reason I'm even asking is because I noticed that the Maxa Beam recently replaced their Lith-Ion battery with Lith-Iron Phosphate, and I was reading how the later is safer. So just wondering if in the future a lot of 18650s will be Iron Phosphates too?

    Maxa Beam question??

    Correct me if I'm wrong please, all the model advancements for the Maxa Beam has been for the battery advancement and not the light itself correct? I've seen the 1207 battery, I've seen the 1307, and now they have the LifePO4 1308 & 1310...However, for all the lights for sale that I see with...

    Been gone awhile...Is Deft-X still king of throw?

    Or has it at least been matched? It's pretty much dead in OMG Lumens thread, matter of fact there was a post from Saab that he has gotten into photography very heavily, we need a Saab successor in here he may be virtually retired from the flashlight scene. No advancements have been made in the...

    My Li-ion readings don't make sense??

    I never really check the voltage on my Orbtronic 18650s. After reading about the dangers of running them too low i decided to start checking. I had them all in my refrigerator, i do not recharge them after using i just put them in the fridge and charge before use. So i checked and they all...

    Does 1 MTG2 cause more heat then 2 XML2s?

    I heard MTG2 causes lots of heat but not sure what 'Lots' means. Someone made a good point to me that doubling the voltage cuts the current (heat) in half. Well then surely 1 MTG2 at 7.4 volts has to be cooler than 2 XML2s at 3.7 volts correct? And how about 1 XHP70 vs 2 XML2s? And how about...

    So confused about IMRs

    I was under the impression that amp ratings on batteries was basically like a circuit breaker, if you buy a high performance flashlight that will call for more current than you require batteries that can withstand more current (IMR). I was under the impression that the driver dictates the...

    How durable can LEDs get before they're dangerous?

    Last week i was reading that XML2 U3 can be driven harder then all former XMLs. Today i read that Cree's new XHPs could be driven much harder. It's so dangerous if the LEDs compete with the lithium batteries for the ability to handle amps. I had a high output flood light that fried the...

    Can you swap XML2s for triple XPLs?

    I have a host that I love it's completely stuffed with heatsink and is a 4-XML2 (4-18650). It's one mode only and regulated at 3,200 lumens, it's so solid that I can run it for 20 minutes straight before it starts getting too hot. I'm wondering if i can swap each of the 4 XML2s with triple...

    Looking for the best 'Fit in your pocket' 1 x 18650

    Ok i know 'The best' is relative. I just lost my Fenix PD32UE. Absolutely loved it EXCEPT i thought it was too long. The length and the reviews on the Zebralight SC600 MK II has always impressed me BUT whereas the length of the Fenix bothered me the over complicated UI of the SC600 bothers...

    MTG2 flashlight question

    Just was curious about something...if I remember correctly for a long time MTG2 was out but nobody figured out how to regulate it, i guess for awhile they were all direct drive. Does anyone know who figured it out and when?
