    Your Dream Low Draw/Low Power P60 Drop-in?

    So, I know several of use were devastated when we learned that Malkoff won't be making any of the low low low M31 drop-ins. I half joked that maybe someone should reach out to @Mark@LF and see if he could make us one. I may or may not have done just that, and have been having a pretty fun...

    My new pair of Peak Eigers in 3500k and 4000K - My favorite LED and my Favorite AAA light meet

    On Friday, I had received my pair of new stainless Peak Eigers. I sent off some SST-20's in 4000K (right) in the FA3 bin, and a 519A in 3500K (left). Both are the lug body. With such a close CCT, they look pretty similar, but in person the 3500K is clearly warm, and the SST-20 is clearly...

    Manta Ray M6. A $15 P6/P60 host for <$15 in 2026.

    I had some shopping credits to burn on AliExpress recently, so I decided to risk my own $7 to acquire a cheap P6 host. Without the credits, it's about $7.50, with about another $7 in shipping from "Lighting Parts Store" as the "DIY Flashlight Shell Aluminum Alloy M5 M6 Torch Lantern Case Body...

    Why do insects fly towards lights? Alternatively, what lights help keep bugs out of your face?

    So, this is a presentation by entomologist Doug Tallamy, and he is going through some questions, where "Why do insects fly towards lights?" was asked. The answer was surprisingly simple, but he expanded a bit, and mentions that nocturnal insects respond to the UV spectrum from the light...

    Reylight's New Green Finish is (Maybe Literally) Magical

    I saw Reylight has a new color of green for the LANapple and Pineapple Mini, so I rolled the dice on them. I had a LANapple previously, but gifted it away. I have both a smooth (green and then copper) and frag (grey) Pineapple Mini, so I like those well enough. They're a bit too easy to turn...

    Project Farm's 7 year Eneloop update

    So, he just posted this (Timestamp takes you to the 7 year old daily cycling Eneloop): It's STILL performing similar to new. The low resistance is absolutely amazing. I know I saw some people recently wondering if Eneloops are worth paying extra for, and they absolutely blew their competition...

    Goofiest Headband Yet?

    So, I got in an amber headlamp from Sportac, the PH10LC2. I know the Zebralight headband is (rightly) unpopular, and Sofirn used to use a similar style to ZL. Those are just floppy, and tend to roll on themselves if you try to adjust it. I have the hilarious "turn ANY flashlight into a...

    Dr. Martin Moore-Ede and his research on how the light spectrum affects health.

    I came across this video, and though it was kind of neat: I'd recently read some research of the discovery of being able to use red light therapy to treat a few forms of cancer. It was nice to hear that it's not LEDs, per se, that are the issue, and using lower CCT emitters seems to help...

    Cheers to Rstype

    I received my Malkoff MDC AA 1800K today from @Rstype. Everything is as described, and he was prompt and pleasant to interact with!

    Cheers to Seasam

    @seasam shipped the light out faster than I can believe. I claimed it Saturday, and it arrived today. Item was as described.

    We're going on 2026. Let's say you just are getting interested, what's still around?

    I know the legacy around here is to kind of just search through old threads, but when poking around about incandescent lights...my word...the threads are CRAZY old. Some of the companies discussed have been out of business so long, that a kid born when they disappeared could drive you to the...

    Probably a Dumb Question - Charging WITH a Dummy Cell?

    So, I got some LiFePO4 CR2 cells for a rangefinder, but I do not have a single charger that fits these. I DO have some dummy CR123A cells (just the wire inside) as well as a Malkoff dummy (Brass center rod surrounded by plastic). Would it be safe to charge these using the dummy cells to make...

    Rewrapping NiMH; Necessary or not?

    Now that my Storacell holders have torn some of the wrappers on some of my Eneloops, I've been looking into the idea of re-wrapping them. NiMH batteries seem to not use the same wrapper as Li-ion cells; it's more of a sticker than a PVC shrinkwrap. I've seen some folks online say that NiMH...

    More cheers (more beers) for ILikeGuns40

    @ilikeguns40 got me with yet another Peak Eiger. It arrived faster than I can comprehend, as per usual. "A++++ #1" as we'd say on eBay, haha.

    Encore Cheets to ILikeGuns40

    @ilikeguns40 lured me in with another Eiger, this one in 4000K. Either this guy is the Post Master General, the CEO of Jimmy Johns, or revitalizing the Pony Express, because I simply cannot understand how fast he gets things to me. If this were Ebay, he'd 100% get an...

    Cheers (and beers) for Ilikeguns40

    This guy must work for LuckyGunner and have a weekend job at Jimmy Johns. I ordered the Eiger head this weekend, and it's Wednesday, and it's in my hands. I vote this guy become the new US Postmaster General, haha.

    Be honest: How disappointed were you with your first LEP?

    So, I got my first LEP, a Lumintop Thor3. Don't get me wrong, this does EXACTLY what it advertised. It has absolutely insane throw...for the couple of feet of light, haha. All things considered, I was way more impressed with the SFT70 Convoy Z1 Zoomie I had, and the Surefire EDC1-DFT. Do...
