    *NEW* Nitecore TM16

    I dont believe the TM16 needs high discharge batteries, so save your money and buy 3-5A 18650's.

    *NEW* Nitecore TM16

    I'm loving how they've adopted the EC11 dual rubber switches for this tiny monster. Other tiny monsters use those dual-stage single buttons which have varied in quality between models, so I like that they're trying something new.

    Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens Another pic, was on unofficial nitecore facebook: http://s16.postimg.org/5n6cnc7c5/10653827_364121693794929_8396154066556965852.jpg

    Dropped a handful of batteries about 1 ft. Keep em or toss em?

    I've started to unwrap the batteries based on HKJ's guide. They're purty looking underneath :hitit:

    The wrapper seems to get progressively more rigid over time, as I recall them being fairly soft when I bought them two years ago. Perhaps the heat generated by usage in a high powered light (like my TM26) makes the wrapper more rigid over time.

    Wow, these 18650 shrink wraps are really cheap. I can get 50 for less than $2 on FT. I'm gonna do it, and I'll use a hair dryer per your guide HKJ. Thanks again

    Hmm, so you guys think they're all good. I was expecting a bunch of "dump em and run" comments. Alright, I'll look into rewrapping them, thanks. Naw, it's not a disrespectful title! He's old, but he's still the man! :grin2:

    Dropped a handful of batteries about 1 ft. Keep em or toss em?

    Hi guys, I have a bit of a weird situation that I am unsure about. I accidentally dropped 4 Keeppower 3400 18650 batteries about 1 foot onto a tile floor. I had them all in my lap as I was organizing some stuff in my closet and I sort of stood up and they all fell out and hit the ground fairly...

    PD35 and P12 and Surefire E1D real test

    All I could pull from this "real test" were a bunch of personal opinions which conclude with "Chinese lights are inferior". Well, guess what- though Surefire is "American Made", they are not classified as "Made in the USA". The distinction is because Surefire has parts made in places other...

    **NEW** Nitecore TM26

    I assume he was talking about the thread being dead. Anyhow, has anyone gotten their hands on a 4000 lumen TM26? Anything noteworthy?

    SRT7 reliability

    So...funny story. I felt like my SRT7 ring was getting a bit slow about a year ago, so I dug through my house to find some kind of oil. I found what I THOUGHT was sewing machine oil and poured a whole ton of it in the groove above and below the magnetic ring. I then moved the ring through all...

    Nitecore P12 (XM-L2; 950 Lumens)

    So you sent an MH10 back... wrong battery too? :D:D:D

    Nitecore EA21 beamshot

    +1 Yeah the MT21A actually looks like a pretty good thrower. I was a bit skeptical because of how small the reflector looks, but I guess it's got a bit of depth too.

    *NEW* Nitecore EC4 & EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens

    Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens It looks as if the the EC4S is going to be a smaller version of the P36 with similar output. The circular red switch looks to possibly be an adaptation (or improvement) of the P36's rotary switch. I see a dual side switch on the body of...

    Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens I've seen a lot of the reviews in the review sub-forum...Selfbuilt in particular generally has good things to say about the Nitecore lights he tests.

    *NEW* Nitecore EC4 & EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens

    Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4S: (Possible) 2x18650, 2000 Lumens I personally think Nitecore makes a good product. I don't fully understand why people still talk about them as this lowly chinese brand that lacks quality control. I've had my TM36 for a few months, TM26 for about a year, and my SRT7 for...

    Think I'm going to abandon lithium ion batteries

    CR123A's can be dangerous as well. I think the best way to avoid any unfortunate situation is to buy reputable batteries and equipment, with as many safety devices as possible. So protection circuits, intelligent chargers, flashlights with high/low discharge cutoff, multimeter for testing...

    Nitecore Tube

    Re: Nitecore TUBE - a brief overview. The TUBE is a nice little light. It's a problem because it fulfills my lighting needs so well that I have been carrying my SRT7 edc so much less...
