    Candelabra bulbs?

    Good idea, especially a "toggler", but that would actually cost more than what I ended up doing. You're misunderstanding what I was trying to do, I think, I do not need MORE light I need LESS. this is going by the front door of a row house and the front yard is literally smaller than my office...

    Candelabra bulbs?

    Good evening all I think I may have done messed up. Basically I need a wall mounted outdoor light fixture to go next to a front door. I've been stopping at ReStore maybe twice a week for a while now and today they had one. It looks very nice although it is significantly larger than any of...

    Got my care package from Malkoff today - questions and comments (MDX2)

    Unfortunately the reason that I was replacing the 6P was because the bag that it was in disappeared when I moved :( That light didn't get a lot of use but it was in the trunk of my car for years "just in case". yes, was thinking of sleeves for anti-rattle... Looks like Lumens Factory's web...

    Got my care package from Malkoff today - questions and comments (MDX2)

    as I just posted elsewhere I finally bit the bullet and replaced the emergency flashlight that was in my car bag - that was a Surefire 6P with a Malkoff tailcap and M61L 219. Now that 6Ps are collectible it didn't make sense to get another, I got a MDX2 with a M61N and hi/low switch which is...

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    Odd that this thread should bubble up to the top today... I *used* to have an old duffel bag with a change of clothes, toothpaste, soap, etc. and an old SOG knife, Cammenga compass, and a Surefire 6P with a Malkoff drop in. Unfortunately I think it grew feet when I moved. I'm most annoyed...

    Alkaline D cell vs. 3x Energizer Lithium AA in parallel?

    I don't know, I don't have any D cells handy, or really where to buy them. Maybe they have them at Lowe's?

    NiMH N cell and adapter?

    Got the first four "Tectra" brand NiMH N cells off the charger last night, they were all around 525 mAh. Second four are going through their break in cycle, to be nicer to them I set the break in cycle to 550 mAh capacity rather than the 700 mAh printed on the label. They were all pretty...

    Alkaline D cell vs. 3x Energizer Lithium AA in parallel?

    Good evening folks had a reason to try to take a very low resistance reading (actually bought some cheap neodymium magnets from Hazard Fraught, wanted to see if they'd be suitable for use in a battery charger) I can't zero my Simpson 260-6XLPM (best thrift store find ever!) on Rx1 scale...

    NiMH N cell and adapter?

    Stopped and bought those magnets because hey, $3. The stack of 10 reads 0.1 ohms on my Fluke 87 (limit of resolution) About the same on my Simpson 260-6XLPM although I couldn't get it to zero on the Rx1 scale meaning it either needs some Deoxit or some calibration. (I tried it on low power...

    NiMH N cell and adapter?

    Got a package of 8 of the AliExpress N cells in the mail today. Got off to a bad start; they don't fit in the Radio Shack N to AA adapters; I had to use the little magnets to fit them in the charger. I hope that doesn't mean they won't fit in my HP 28C (it's on my desk at work, so I can't...

    NiMH N cell and adapter?

    I found these https://www.amazon.com/PowerTrust-700mAh-Battery-Charger-Rechargeable/dp/B098761ZCP?th=1 but I didn't buy, I bought from AliExpress instead because I didn't want/need the charger https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804705847154.html I'm guessing those are the exact same products...

    NiMH N cell and adapter?

    I'm running "Emu48" on Android which has a 48GX mode, despite the name it has other emulators as well but I am not sure if it has an 11C or not. It is awful handy although the 28C that prompted this thread usually is what I reach for when I'm at my desk. I have a thrift store TI-85 in my...

    Need another light - replacement for Streamlight Night Com UV?

    Ah, thanks for that. I may go ahead and pick that up even though I'm looking at other options. I didn't poke around the site enough as I was at work when I saw your last post.

    Gyrfalcon S8000 possibly dumb question

    Got a Gyrfalcon S800 last week on the recommendation of someone here. It was $68 plus shipping here https://liionwholesale.com/products/gyrfalcon-s8000-battery-charger-wholesale-discount I received the older non updated version but for the price it's fine. Gonna spray some silicone lube in...

    Need another light - replacement for Streamlight Night Com UV?

    Been thinking about this some more Am starting to think I might be able to replace both my missing lights with a Malkoff MD2. Original 6Ps like the one I had in my now missing emergency kit are now just as expensive, and the MD2 takes 18650. I could get one with hi/low and two drop ins. One...

    Need another light - replacement for Streamlight Night Com UV?

    So it looks like I can't get any Convoy UV lights in the YooEss. "Due to patent restrictions, UV flashlights with filters cannot be sent to the United States!" then it looks like I could get the Acebeam K1 or the Nitecore P20UV V2. Acebeam UI looks better but is a single AA/14500. K1 looks...

    Need another light - replacement for Streamlight Night Com UV?

    Good morning I need another flashlight as I have a nasty feeling that both my Surefire 6P with Malkoff drop in and my Streamlight Night Com UV are never going to be seen again (sticky fingers, they were in a duffel bag that I believe was "appropriated" when I moved, along with two Snap-On...

    Current recommendation for 16350/18350?

    yeah sorry tons of typos. I intended to say 16350 (but really I guess it's 16340 - cells only say "ICR123", these are old AWs) 18350 (this is the Jetbeam cell that came with flashlight) flashlight only takes those cells, and 123 primaries. I don't have the extender to use 18650 nor would I...
