flashlights

I have a Lenova that uses the CR123's and they dont last very long. It does have the 5 LED head, not sure of thats why it uses up batteries and they are expensive. Im was going to buy the Streamlight but I think Im going to hold off and buy the TerraLux 300 since it uses two AA's and they are alot cheaper. The TerraLux also has 100 and 300 option and for under $50.00 im in...

Henry, if that light is plenty bright for you consider buying some rechargeable CR123's. I have maybe $15-20 in my setup and don't have to worry about buying more batteries (the ones I do have I keep as a backup).

without rechargable batteries, I would be screwed. I'll look into some rechargeable cr123.

I just posted up the ad if anyone is interested.
Will do $55 picked up, $60 shipped.

I've got a Surefire G2 that I upgraded to a LED with a P60L change out. Surefire quit making them, but you can find a few. There's tons of clones out there, too.

I've been curious about the Bushnell - HD Torch

I have two of the Bushnells and love them. My cousin works in the IT department at Bushness in KC so got them ridiculously cheap. Only negative is battery life so I will have to check into the rechargeable CR123.

Hook up?

I'd love to get my hands on a Torch but "ridiculously cheap" would be my goal. lol

BTW, I think you might have meant Inova. Lenova is a brand of laptops. Make sure your light will work with rechargeables, I know some do not.

This thread is one of the reasons that I purchased one from you.
Thank you for the excellent deal!

Yes thats the one I was referring too. Also did you get the rechargable cr123's at Radio shack?

I can't think of anywhere locally to buy rechargeable ones. You have an incoming PM sir.

buy your cr123's. CR-2032's, etc. etc. all on ebay or amazon... you can get them cheap as shit in bulk. I think I bought 100 CR-2032's for like 10 bucks. Radio shack charges $5 each.

40 CR123's for 40 bucks - $1 each.

I received my light from chopped54 yesterday. It's a nice light. Thanks again Robert.

Ok here it is, be sure to turn up the quality to at least 480p

Cool vid. The modded Maglite works nicely. How long to you expect the batteries to last - guesstimate?

And the laser is tits, dangerous as hell but bad ass nonetheless.

Oh, and did your neighbor freak out with the UFO inspections? lol

The guy who turned me on to this mod is a pretty sharp dude. He did a bunch of test on the light measuring all sorts of parameters I built my lite exactly like the lites he builds using the same parts so I would expect nothing to be any different. Here are the specs...

Measured at the tail: (battery current draw from 2 X 32600 Li-Ion's)
* High - 1575mA's... Estimated run time - Over 3 hours!
* Medium - 525mA's... Estimated run time - 9 1/2 hours at about 350 lumens
* Low - 114mA's - Estimated run time - 43 hours!

I will say that on the low setting it is not quite as bright as the stock led maglite but it is very close. On the other hand it will run for near 2 days straight. I left my lite on in the garage last night for 2 hours on the high setting and went back to check on it before I crashed and it was still going strong with no noticable drop in output. With that said I believe it would go 3 hours no problem with the 32600 or 32650 cells. These cells are 6000mah each so they have plenty of gas in the tank. Also the emitters I am using are some new type that are super efficient.
