Is r3v into flashlights?

[oxymoron]

my stinger led falls onto the concrete shop floor daily and is fine and what everyone else said.

Currently building one. Using two 18650 batteries and a CREE MC-E emitter. Should be ~700 lumen when done. Here are some pics (though not up to date).

Inner battery holder.


Exterior view. The end with the heatsink will have a piece that more smoothly connects the heatsink to the tube.


Tailcap that unscrews. Clicky-switch and spring are mounted in the end. You can also see the heatsink and lens in the background.


As far as too bright goes, the LED driver I am using has high, medium, low, strobe and SOS modes.

I think the led flashlights go a bit overboard with the brightness. They should have two LED's in each flashlight (high/low)

But am afraid that the light beam is not enjoy concentrated

[Pantless Spency]

never leave home without mine!

also using a streamlight stinger LED. i finally got it after wanting one for like 3yrs. love it.

I have a Quark 123 and 123*2 4sevens and a 6p LED. I am also a huge fan of the Quark series. The fact that I can lego-build my 4sevens is a bonus too. Can't beat 175lumins in a 3.25in package either.

I carry a quark mini and a bigger one by 4 seven as well. Hands down the best flashlight on the market

Can someone esplain to me why a >$100 flashlight is better than the 3 for $20 LED flashlights at Costco? WTF makes a flashlight "tactical"?

120 lumen for 3 hours and then 80 lumen for 8 hours run time on one set of batteries with a single lED.

Made in OOOOOSSSSAAAAA

works under water

dose not flicker and turn off randomly when they get really cold

can be used as a bashing tool, and still work for years too come

will last years or decades, 20 dollar light from costco prolly not.

your not as likely to lose it when you know how much it will cost to replace

[ALYKZANDYR]

have a mini maglight in black it works good.

[MR 325]

Well, my Streamlight can slam on the ground from 10 feet up with no issues. It also comes with 2 rexhargable batteries and option to charge via wall socket or cigarette lighter plug.

:grin:

Sadly, I couldn't get away with carrying one of those in my car though.. :(:)

Self defense is illegal in the UK right??? I am suprised you can have anything over a 2 D cell maglite

[SimplyDope]

Streamlight TLR-1s. And when it's not in the car it's on the Glock.

on my road bike I use a "True Lumens" light. it's 500 lumens, enough for riding the city roads.

[Jhonno]

can't disagree with you on that. that's why you get one of these bad boys.
