    What is up with WTS info disappearing?

    I was looking for a post in WTS that was only months old, pretty sure the sale was not complete. FWIW, older Hellfire for $600 last I saw. Can't find it. It's not coming up on searches, and I scoured the forums for an hour looking at every title going back months, and I can't find it. Maybe it's...

    Lion incidents average once a week on US flights since 2021

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hazardous-materials-airplanes/ FAA: Lithium Battery Incidents IATA: Three Incidents Involving Lithium Batteries (pdf) (Maybe this could go in Batteries Included, but I figured it'd be more comfortable in Cafe) I suspect most of the recent Liion incidents are...

    QPQ

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quench_polish_quench Many if not most of you know what this is. At least one of the regulars, I forget who, in an old post from years ago that I can't find now, was critical of it, saying it wasn't worth it. I'd been pretty careful with an LF QPQ smoothie since it...

    Andúril 2 UI

    So, Zebralights are pretty great. I got my first Zebralight, an SC63c, in 2015. But my favorites so are the SC5c Mk II and the SC53c. I really like the Zebralight interface. I wouldn't say it is superior to all known flashlight UI, but it is a nice compromise, easy to learn, and it is consistant...

    The 14500 space.

    There are Ultrafire, Trustfire, Tenergy, EBL, Orbtronic, Imren and there used to be AW. But I think most today will choose Vapcell INR H10 and F12, and there was another Vapcell without a designation other than "INR14500," sometimes called "Goldtops," which is confusing because the F12 are also...

    What drives a 14V drop-in?

    What cell configuration would drive a D26 drop-in at 14V? And what does the light it's intended for look like?

    Show your dim incans

    I somehow slipped into a nap around 4:30PM, woke 3 hours later in the dark, but with really nice dark adaptation. Normally, I carry, and use constantly after dark, an LF E2 Classic LF Elite with SF diffuser and LF twisty z52 w/ NH1832 button top running SF "6V" 0.51A MN02 for about 4 hours of...

    Surefire lamps on LiFePO4

    Not much fear underdriving 2xCR123A "6V" lamps like MN03 or P60 on one Li-ion 3.6V or 3.7V. Many times it's ok to drive "9V" lamps on 2x Li-ion. Everyone seems to use 3.2V LiFePO4 (RCR123A) as a direct replacement for CR123A in LED lights. But does this translate well to incan bulbs? I would...

    Tailstanding C tailcaps

    E has z68, and it works well. There are others, like the Defender tailcap, and probably even more than a few others. Though my favorite C tailcap is z41, what about C tail-standing? What tailstanding C tailcaps have their been? Are there any tailstanding C tailcaps?

    35E group buy?

    I just received an email from Voltaplex rep concerning a mistaken shipment to the US of 100x Samsung 35E, and he wants to know if I'm interested. I already had intentions to get 6-8 35E, not 100. I responded to ask what the minimum order was and cost per cell. As many are aware, 35E is INR18650...

    Sold/Expired fivemega G4 D26 SUNLIGHT

    fivemega G4 D26 SUNLIGHT These were all gone four years before I joined CPF. I contacted a member who told me he had six of them a couple years ago, but they will need to be pried from his cold, dead hands before any will be circulated. His was the only screen name in the thread I recognized...

    Surefire MN21

    According to one of my favorite and most consulted posts (by rikvee, last seen Feb. 2016), the MN21 (for M6 KT4) draws 4.9A on 6x CR123A for 20 minutes. Everywhere I have looked says the lamp is 500Lm. What I was wondering, first of all, is if one 500Lm incan the same as the next? Or is this...

    Surefire M3 / z46 lamps

    May I please get a list of all Surefire lamps that fit the M3 z46 bezel? Lumens Factory and Tad Customs options are easy to compile, so I'll do that here, but the Surefire MN numbered lamps are inscrutable, and I don't see a list anywhere. I am aware of two, but I have a sinking suspicion there...

    LeeF M head C tail 2x18650

    Slightly different from my other recent WTB, LeeF M head 2 cell 18650. Wanted for some time, and I figured I better ask because I only see old pictures and old sales threads that I missed, and at least one post long ago elsewhere that claims the venerable Lighthound once had many available for...

    wtb fivemega or LeeF 2x18650 body Surefire C head C tailcap (P60 host)

    These fivemega bodies exist. At least 80 of them were sold, probably more. I'd really like to get my hands on one for a dedicated build. But I am really ravenous for LeeF 2x 18650 C head C tail body, and a LeeF 2x 18650 M head C tail body, and I would happily buy yours if you can spare it...

    2x 18650 P bodies

    I know Solarforce has (er, had) a 2x 18650 M head C/P tail, the L2-D18, and I know that one can add a cell extender to a bored 9P, or longer extender to bored 6P. But I was curious what extended bodies may have existed that took 2x 18650 with a P head and tail. LeeF made one like that, I think...

    Focusing lamps

    I have a lot of trouble focusing lamps. I know there was an old post that explained focusing in detail, included a cutaway diagram, but I can't seem to find it. I wish there was a sticky for focusing. Most of my problem is not recognizing which way the lamp is unfocused, whether too deep in the...

    what is it?

    3K tone (dL mp3 attachment 10s sample) constant for 3 weeks straight, about 50dB where I am, coming from across the creek, coming from one of two directions 60° apart to the left to the right It isn't a mole deterrent, they're higher frequency and not as loud. I have heard a dryer exhaust...
