    It's all yours! I'm very happy with my FWAA, and don't need another Hi-CRI Titanium EDC light just yet.

    Thanks! I see all the D25 and D3 options on Ali. They didn't come up in my global search, and I never think of that site for flashlights. Next time... I think the IlluminationGear problem is a software issue. It doesn't appear to be resolved as yet. The work-around to simply eMail them hadn't...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    I typically use Nyogel 760 on my aluminum lights, and CRK Krytox on the titanium ones. Lately it appears Nyogel is better for the Ti, as well. Can anyone confirm or deny? I used 760 on my new FWAA. But it's a bit rough, and I'll need to clean it off, polish the threads a bit, and reapply. I...

    Uploading photos from my phone is killing me. AL D25c with SureFire CR123a is 48g on the kitchen scale; Ti FWAA with VapCell F12 is 68g. 1.7oz vs 2.4oz. Since it is stable and works, I turned the D25c on "Hi" (head-tight), then held down the FWAA switch until I thought the brightness looked...

    D3c, another D25c MKII, or...

    My first "High Performance" flashlight was (and still is) a LuminTop TD15x. My wife grabbed it for walking the dog last week, and totally unprompted commented on what a nice light it is. I have dozens of lights, but never went back to LuminTop. (And never get positive comments about them from...

    D3c, another D25c MKII, or...

    Hey! Someone else who thinks the D25c is just about the perfect EDC light! Let's see if I can address some of your points. I like Ti lights, and have a few. Also a couple Copper, which are better on the conductivity side, but much worse for weight. In most cases AL is the most sensible option...

    D3c, another D25c MKII, or...

    I could only find the 519A at IlluminationGear, and for some reason they can't seem to ship to me. Stumbled upon the FWAA. Looks pretty amazing for the price. Nearly the same size, with a 14500 battery. I don't really need 3 emitters. I can't foresee a use case for such a bright Turbo mode in a...

    I used to have a Titanium EagleTac D25c with 219c. Loved that thing. Took it swimming one to many times. Even with a replacement tail switch, I could not bring it back to life. In 2021 (after losing my HDS Clicky) I replaced it with a D25c Clicky MKII, also with 219. Also a great light, though...

    Help Replace My Peak Eiger

    Best bet is probably another Eiger. But if you want to try something different, yet similar, maybe look at the ReyLight (Pineapple Mini) AAA/10440. Available with Nichia 219b 4500k R9080, and in brass (which yours wasn't, but is a Peak family value) or titanium. I'm very happy with my copper...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    From the freeme release page: Emitter: 3 CREE XP-G3 (6500K) / Nichia 219C (3000K/4000K/5000K@70CRI) / SST20 (4000K) LED Is the 5000k CRI-70 but the other 219C's Hi-CRI? Is the SST20 4000k the CRI-95 version? I don't see it on the LuminTop site yet. FW3A doesn't seem to specify there...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Very happy with my brace of Hi-CRI EDC lights of various sizes and beams. 3 of the 4 found off-the-shelf in the past month, because of this thread. ReyLight (Cu) Pineapple with Nichia 219B 4500k R9080 Hi CRI EagleTac D25C Clicky MkII with Nichia 219C R9050 CRI-92 McGizmo SunDrop XR-U with...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Have you looked at the EagleTac D25LC2 Clicky with CRI-92 4000k Nichia 219b? 4.5" long with a .9" diameter. 18650 lights don't come much slimmer than that. I've been carrying the D25C2 (single CR123) 219b since it came in. Great EDC platform. Looks like the FW3A on 18650 has the same...

    Battery operated charger for Solar Watch

    Looks cool, and a creative solution to an annoying problem. But, no battery worries is the reason I moved to mostly solar and automatic watches. (Just wrecked my second Skagen trying to swap a battery out.) I have 3 solar Citizens. The oldest one (Titanium) takes and holds the best charge. Just...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    One more shot of Hi-CRI beams. Thrunite Ti (freebie - not Hi-CRI); ZebraLight H53Fc Neutral Hi-CRI; MBI HF-RT with Zoom head and undefined neutral emitter (looks like maybe an XM-L); ReyLight Pineapple 219b sw45k R9080; McGizmo SunDrop XR-U.

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Okay. So, the IMR 10440 charged up quick, and runs just fine in the ReyLight. So, basically, I’m all set but have no idea why the nameless blue 320mAh 10440 that came with the ReyLight won’t run in it, even though it’s just fine in the MBI. Wierdness. Update: I took a few measurements (just one...
