hello all, new to this forum..
.. but if there is a flashlight discussion, I'm in.

yep, that's me -- not sure I'm the king, but thanks for the compliment nevertheless!

Glad to be here!

it's too bright in here! I demand some dark so I can get it bright
thanks guys!

This is heck of a thread here. o.O

thank you guys again.

I love little hideouts. sometimes, large forums can be too impersonal at times, so I seek out the little guys.

I found the site through looking at my site referrer logs.

edit: and lol, it appears that my post count will probably forever be at 0.

yup, polkiuj, I found it when someone linked my photos on the thread somewhere (I'm fine with that -- plenty of BW)

aw man, HIDs! I still have none!

someone say quark mini123 runtime?

it's always interesting when someone posts readings of the light you have on hand.

I believe the thrunite catapult is made of 7075-- tough! dropped the thing and it barely dented.
doesn't 6061 conduct heat better than 7075, though?

LOL, nice!

I thought nanolube's nanobots slowly transformed your lights into titanium.

sucks, susuman, gold is useless!!
I bought mine from kaidomain.

although -- I just realized that my lights are slowly transforming from titanium into cast iron... strange!!

curses... TI.......

at least TI is pretty hard, unlike soft gold!!

ooo.. where'd you get the zebralight proto pic from?

awww man, I want a CR2 mini

yikes! you can't get someone to forward them from the US? are shipping costs really that high?
broke student here.. I'd buy the CR2 mini if I had the funds.

vincenthsl, that catapult is an excellent light... I think my wee SS is getting jealous around all the sst-50 lights..





..poor, poor lummi.....


hey.. my automatic watermarking program is working..

depends on how much the focus is set at...


correct! it throws much better than the catapult.. . (and the eagletac M2XC4)


ouch. sorry to hear that.


hey... it takes plenty of work to write a review.. I get to keep most for future comparisons, etc....back to work.


yeah, agree, but that might actually kill the throw.
..although, with a HUGE head and active cooling.. you'd think they'd be able to drop a 90 in there and run it at full power.


oh, hey rookiedaddy-- I use a Turnigy Accucel-6.. it works very well and is very affordable.

my setup is somewhat of an oddity and not recommended.. I'm using a PC power supply for the turnigy's power supply as it also can power the fan which I use for runtimes (the luxmeter is elsewhere at the moment)



see the long grey TI bars? I actually sometimes use those for putting batteries in parallel to charge a bunch at a time. (I use magnets for conections) it's best to get some sort of 18650 holder and charge with those.

I plead the 5th....

the grey box is just where I shoved all the wires from the computer power supply in to make it more organized. (it's the power to the charger)
I believe lux luthor's magnet connectors are for balancing, not charging?

yep! the CC/CV algorithm will balance the cells even when they have a different capacity/charge.
my charger can only do 5A max.
