it's a D size.

yup. indeed it is. very secure gripping and comfortable to hold. had to cut out some rubber from the middle as it's too long for TK40 (otherwise it will cover the fins).


holding in hand...

a very good holster to have.

hey guys and gals, just uploaded some AA alkaline cells testing results here.
so don't throw away your alkaline cells just yet especially when you are using them in higher drain devices.
i may create a new thread here in LYN later with direct linking to pricing info.

from this original picture sent by ZL, it looks like a XP-G...


EDIT: but unlikely as they have a SC30w coming soon. so... XP-E is most probably right...

Seraph SP-6 Titanium

haha... indeed, indeed... if existing SP-6 is what indicate the Ti version built, then most of the cost goes into the raw materials. a collector item.

Guys and gals,
I've manage to get a small quantity of Krytox GPL203 grease and repack them into smaller containers. This is one of the higher performing lubricant and good for Anodized, Ti and SS light. I'm also using it in my G2.

Some useful information about this general purpose grade:
- Frequently Asked Questions - Krytox®
- MSDS Krytox® PFPE/PTFE Greases (GPL 20(X) Series)
- Experience of various grease shared by Luminescent in candlepowerforums

I've only manage to repack into 10 small containers (at 6g each) and 3 have already been spoken for. Please pm for details if you are interested (sorry, only COD is possible for now).

My experience with bare Aluminum thread has been consistent with Luminescent and I do not recommend this grease for use on bare Al thread (as it require some efforts to spread a really thin and even layer on these bare Al for it to work!). For bare Al and/or brass thread, you are better off using DeoxIT, silicone-based or automotive grease. You can get DeoxIt from polkiuj here and a pretty good grade of silicone grease from Philightsophy here.

You can also get most of the grease online which are linked in this post here, post #1 put together by Tekno_Cowboy.

guys/gals, if there are no last minute changes, if you are free, if you can wake up early, then... tune in to TV9 tomorrow for the show "Nasi Lemak Kopi O". There will be a section that may surprise some of you.
show starts at 8:00 am until 10:00 am. if the schedule remains, the section of interest is around 9:30 am.

haha... ok. ok. a special section call "Torch Light Gizmo" or something like that...

polkiuj, now you make me wanna get a DSLR.

Just received some IMR bulbs from Philightsophy... there are some lumen goodness...


Host is Seraph SP-9, 2 x AW IMR18500. SureFire P91 and LumensFactory IMR-9 is using standard D26 head, while LumensFactory IMR-9L is using D36 Mini-Turbo head.
Despite what some cpfers experienced, the IMR-9 is actually as bright as P91.
SureFire P91 beam is whiter compare to both Lumens Factory bulbs. IMR-9L on D36 Mini-Turbo head does not throw further, it's just brighter and floodier.

the camera settings are locked...
this might be due to image format conversion and dithering with gif.
Let's try another, this time in JPEG.

not just the hot spot, look at the surrounding. The IMR-9L in D36 head is not throwy, it's very floody.

let's make a date to test it outdoor, polkiuj, bring your P91 along ya. pseudoblue, are you in? anyone with any incan setup would like to do some comparison?

[EDIT]: i think i will use 2 x IMR 18650 when we meet as the voltage sag is lesser in this setup.

[EDIT 2]: i just refresh the whole page and notice the converted gif looks really really ugly... my bad...

Great idea! But I will need help with the histogram thingy.

cool... been wanting to see the WA1111 and WA1185 myself too. let's try to do some comparisons once you have your setup.

maybe a week or 2 before CNY? Need to get some extra IMR cells first.
hope to see hoongern's setup by then.

my-oh-my... glad that you are OK. join us for the gathering, we can do some experiments with the different modules. ACE h/w is selling some springs pack in different sizes and plating that you may wanna to take a look. I will also bring along a tube of OX-Gard for the gathering.

old newspaper, doing any GB for Ra? or Malkoff?

new EagleTac Flashlight... monitor this thread...

Philihghtsophy, remember my order?
