    pd35

    Here's the guy's review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R269U01CW6KLAP/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1 He says it's a 1" grommet like you'd find for putting cables through a desk panel. I think you should be able to find one in your hardware store.

    pd35

    It took mine to charge the partial battery 4 hours out of the box. By the time the 3rd light is blinking you are likely around 3000/3400 full, but the last bit will take longer as the charger slows things down. In terms of rough math: The charger puts out 500mA; the battery is 3400mAh. if...

    pd35

    Corrected for you. My strategy would be to get at most only 1 spare 18650 that you can swap it in and have 1 on standby. And of course, you don't have to wait until the battery is used up before charging again. Don't get too crazy buying too many spare rechargeable batteries, the whole point...

    pd35

    I think the circuitry is very flexible, and can take the energy even at lower 18650 voltage. From Fenix, the manual says on 123 primaries, the first few minutes on fresh batteries will results in a turbo rating of 900lumens (versus the 850 recorded on 18650s). However, once the battery wears a...

    pd35

    My thoughts are the factor that matters is if it is a "fulfilled by amazon" purchase. Then my guess would be the consignment arrangement that you brought up; where all the stuff is stored in the amazon warehouse, versus the order being forwarded to the vendor. Price back up to $75. hope at...

    CROSSING THE LINE-"WHEN IS TOO MUCH TOO MUCH???!!!

    Depends on every person's personality; But a test I run for myself for commodity possessions; if you don't use an item for a year, you should think why you are still holding onto that item. I do not consider any of my lights as artistic or emotional possessions that have value sitting on a...

    pd35

    for what it's worth; the pd35 on amazon (sold by amazon) right now seems to have gone on sale for $55.. At least for me and my account, although this could have been my refreshing and browsing flashlights on amazon a bunch the last few days. Dynamic pricing eat your heart out. Maybe against...

    Fenix HL30 Review (2xAA)

    Great review. After a long hiatus from flashlights in general, bought this light. One thing to note is that I loaded it with 2 alkaline duracells, the low is almost as bright as the medium and overly bright then what you need for a low. Perhaps when the voltage drops this will adjust to a...

    Bouncer needs New Flashlight

    I think one more thing you should add to your requirements is that the button press doesn't control the modes which seems to be the thing to do these days. From what I've seen from most flashlight usage in da club, Most of the time it seems you're just going to flash-on for a few seconds to...

    need some input , company wants to buy 30 lights 1AA or 2AA and of course "cheap"

    Re: need some input , company wants to buy 30 lights 1AA or 2AA and of course "cheap" Emergency light is likely going to be spending 100% of it's life in a small box in a trunk. Even if the kit gets used, the light is maybe only going to be helpful it's nighttime. So I would agree that...

    New here - Suggestions for upgrades/mods for Maglite 3D LED

    Set your budget first. If you've budgeting in the range of $65+ on a light engine upgrade, it makes no sense to constrain yourself down to reuse your existing flashlight body that costs 1/3rd as much. If you are doing this, your perspective should be you're building around the malkoff dropin and...

    Cleaning a.r. coated lenses

    Or you can get the Lenspen like you mentioned which uses the same principle without the complicated science experiment. It's not that expensive. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006JN3G/?tag=cpf0b6-20 I have it and it works really well

    4d maglite bulb replacement

    Agree that it might not be worth it to update that host. While there may be some preceived value in reusing the existing flashlights, there's really not much value of the mag body, especially considering if you are planning on budget is going to be in the range of $50+ or more/light. One...

    excellent throw light 50 dollers and under

    Off topic, but the "almost" of your statement came true for me. My SL PP4AA died after the provided Energizer batteries leaked (no strange conditions, just sitting on the shelf). Battery fluids made some strange chemical brew that reacted and etched the metal in the reflector, the lens and the...

    Why do i need a flashlight?

    To each their own, but my closets have lights, and halogen lights in my house give off up to 500watts(I also have CFLs for most lamps for those energy consious ppl)! Probably will light up the dog just fine! At worse just bring that lamp over and boom 100watts of light. Has anyone done a...

    Why aren't better LED flashlights sold in local retail stores?

    Needed? or just think you need it, and really just a nice to have? Again it probably depends on your location and exact situations (e.g. we have lights in my "town" and electricity is stable). But at least for me, I think that I could go a full year without "needing" a flashlight more then a...

    Why aren't better LED flashlights sold in local retail stores?

    To be honest, I don't think the typical public (not job related) has a need for the expensive lights. To be realistic, $5 lights or even incan. lights from 10yrs ago are fully sufficient for the realistic needs that the typical public person would need a flashlight for. I just posted here...

    Why do i need a flashlight?

    I will be honest with myself, this is just an entertainment hobby and I know I really don't need them. I don't expect to be in any "tactical" situation ever in my lifetime. I don't live out in the wilderness, and at night, every street where I am at has streetlamps. Even without electricity...

    Anyone fry their L0D Q4 with a 10440 li-ion yet?

    This was the kind of response that puzzled me why L0D supporters are still so gungho about their light in this combo. Why would you want to "compromise" and settle for a mode that doesn't work so good, to the point where you recommend using a completely different light; while the liteflux (as...
