    walked into Kragen's this morning and picked up 2 more ($37 each with tax). had to replace the batt on one, otherwise looks good I have no data to compare Osram / Phillips with the kit bulbs yet. Will advise.

    Giving a Flashlight as a gift, opinions.

    I can't keep a Romi N3 or N3II for more than a couple months before family and friends detach them from me. In fact I'm trolling for one now...

    romisen rc n3 ii vs rc n3

    I've had a couple of both (hint), the single-mode is a little brighter. N3 II's dual-mode was more useful.:hitit: bogey out

    has anyone tried this light?

    I hate my T6 I love my T6 I hate my T6 I love my T6 a wall of light that you can't beat without HID or WA1185 (haven't seen Luminus) - OLight M30 can't hold it's photon jock and requires more maintenance than my boat your money, your call... bogey out

    can't hurt to try - you may also want to research "desulfation" and "battery minder"...I'm considering investing in that technology.

    Don't have a 'sphere to give you quantifiable figures. Here's qualitative: ETEK (middle 3 beams) has more spill than Stanley (bottom right) or POB (bottom left). The shape of ETEK reflector plus frosted bulb scatters light. Stanley's beamshape looks brighter regardless of total light output...

    Solarforce L2 "Argentine" model

    Re: Solarforce L2 "Argentine" model from KD argentum = "silver" in latin, argent = "silver" in Old French I think the KD description is a translation artifact from mandarin to english watch out for counterfeits, telltales are if the price is out of line and the tailcap is recessed. bogey out

    yes, the price is right and modification is well documented if you can pick up a used POB or Amondo in good shape, that would be better bogey out

    L2p, L2m and L2m 2009

    great start, exact configuration that started my SolarForce huffing habit... personally: I'd ditch the tailcap (kinda spendy) until you've had a chance to play around a bit. Put the money into a flat bezel (makes the light more pocketable - the stock one is aggressive and is a little pokey in...

    L2p, L2m and L2m 2009

    :welcome: L2m 2009 is bored out to accept 18650 batts (with an additional extension tube) unlike L2m. Neither are HA, both accomodate RCR123 and CR123 L2p is HA and is sized for 2x CR123/RCR123 or 18650 Jake @ sbcflashlights is my go-to guy for SolarForce, there a a couple others I like...

    sample size, 3 lights: n=3 4) significant variation in color temp from unit to unit 5) contact points on charger connectors (male and female) slightly oxidized, a little "wiggle" or de-oxit may be in order 6) batteries are shelf worn, (edit 3/21) initially zero to 20 min runtime, now 2 units...
