    My Olight Collection

    Thanks

    Anyone else completely against lights with built in batteries?

    Interesting. You condemn Olight for making a 3-connection cell so that it can be replaced. Mot makers just wire up internal. And then you condemn them for internal cells. My advice for Olight users that dislike having a proprietary cell just glue the battery in, put on a little sticker "No...

    Olight CR123 batteries

    That is a one cell light, 18350 ([email protected]) / CR123. Some other lights like the S2R Batons use an 18650 or two CR123 cells. I would avoid the double CR123 configurations as they might explode in your mouth. Any other models, tell me and I'll look in my database.

    Brass & Copper -- Have your cake and eat it too

    That is nicely polished! Put it in a tube and it will stay that way.

    Brass & Copper -- Have your cake and eat it too

    You bought a raw copper or brass light, sealed in some shrink wrap. You'd love to open it and get a good look at it -- polished brass is awesome. But it will tarnish, never look that good again. I'll tell you how to see it out of the bag, yet keep it shinny and bright. First off, buy a pack...

    Storing Lithium Ion batteries at full charge

    All I can add is Tesla, who is hot for capacity, doesn't charge up to 4.2 volts. And note the amount of additional energy stored from charging from 3.7V to 4.2V is rather small, not worth the stress. 4.2 isn't some magic voltage. It is the engineering compromise, how high could they go vs...

    What USB-C To 12 Volt Converters Are Available?

    Yes, just saw them on EBay. Select any voltage the USB-C can run.

    Li Primary Cells in Series = Bad Idea

    You said: Interesting. I have thousands of dollars of ruined equipment. I now only use them in an application that is in constant use and drained cells are obvious. Otherwise Li if possible. But this brings up another problem. The world has yet to understand what I have discovered -- using Li...

    Olight i5R high CRI

    Yes, I'd be careful even calling it a 14500, because that is not what it is. It is a AA-sized 2.4V output cell.

    Olight Warrior X (the OG model) question

    There are few electrical failures, only mechanical failures that break or short circuits. After a while you realize that most problems are. likely the cell or the connections to it. These are the ones made by hand and subject to abuse.

    A Note to Foreign LED Flashlight Makers -- Red & Blue Flash

    There is always some basic law they can charge you with if you mess with cops. Interfering with governmental functions, loitering,... In any case if some cop brought a case to the DA and showed him/her the little winky light they would be laughed out of the office.

    A Note to Foreign LED Flashlight Makers -- Red & Blue Flash

    Every state in the USA has different rules. I have a blue neon (real neon) license plate frame, it has a small switch on it to turn off the blue should I cross the border to Indiana. One nice thing in Ohio -- if a car is 20 years old or older you can get "Classic Car" plates. Can't be...

    A Note to Foreign LED Flashlight Makers -- Red & Blue Flash

    Ohio says you can have any color light you want on your vehicle, but it must not flash. Any color flashing, illegal -- with an exception for turn indicators and brake lights.

    A Note to Foreign LED Flashlight Makers -- Red & Blue Flash

    It all ways comes down to intentions. You can wear a hat that says police -- just as long as you don't use it to pretend to be a cop. The vehicle code doesn't apply to you unless you have a VIN plate stapled somewhere. :cool:

    Olight Progression

    Hi. First there was the S1, CR123A cell. Then the first rechargeable version came out, the S1R. It had problems as did a few following versions like the Baton Turbo. When the S1R Baton II came out they finally had it nailed. Perhaps it was this light with magnetic charging that made many a...

    A Note to Foreign LED Flashlight Makers -- Red & Blue Flash

    Seems like every one of these new lights I see with the color LED chips on the side does a Red & Blue flash. Some say it is for emergency use. The problem is there is no valid use for it. A police officer wouldn't try and do any law enforcement with a little light. And for any of us...
