Flashlights

Damn, RC40, 3500 lumen for over an hour...

That is stupidly awesome. Seriously, that's a lot of light.

I've always wanted a ridiculously unnecessary (for my uses) bright light, the RC40 could fit the bill, that thing looks legit.

It's harder to cause trouble with 1200 lumens in your face.

You, of course, have tested this on yourself... right?


... Sunburn from an LED.... hmmm sounds like fun.

I'll support a local guy. Added to my wish list. Great review!

Hahahahaha what? No! Of course not! ...Can somebody turn the lights on? .................. What do you mean "they're already on"??



In all seriousness, I did chase off a dumpster diver with 1200 lumens and he was whining like a baby. I only pointed it at his feet.

I have to comment here, because I commented on my own thread also. I know people hate ebay, but I just picked up a NIB Surefire 6P for $40 shipped. The original 65 lumen incandescent bulb isn't much light, but considering that there are 1000 lumen replacement lamps for $13 shipped with a supposed 1.5 hr run time, the total price isn't bad, and like I'm trying to point out, it's a Surefire.

If you have the 1000 lumen replacement lamp, can you tell us more about it?

Well I'm adding 2 of them to my order, PM me if you want one (or another Fenix brand flashlight since I can get most of them).

A friend on mine gives very high praise to Fenix flashlights. He is a mechanic so i know it is used and mishandled daily.

Love my TA21..

Uses the 18650's so I own two of those.. keep one on the charger one in the light .. and a spare set of cr123's just incase I somehow don't charge both bat's..

the 18650's last mad longer then cr123's ( well with the 3000mah one's I have)

I'd buy another fenix if I ever mange to break this one.. I dropped it.. thrown it .. used while making an unruly bar patron find his way out the door ( those "tactical" serrations really do work ... ) ... camping .. toured the country with it 3 times on rock tours dropped it once from about 20 feet to wood flooring other then dings and scrapes works just fine.

I've had my LD10 for close to 3 years now. It is amazing, worth the price and I've used it nearly every day for more than just a few minutes (engineering work around telescopes during the day in a dark enclosure and at night requires light).

It is starting to get to the point where it is finicky with the batteries I use in it. Sometimes it doesn't turn on and it takes multiple clicks. I don't know if it is the switch that needs replacing (it comes with a replacement rubber switch) or if the circuit is truly dying. Either way, I plan to replace it with either another LD10 or something with more lumens, although I love the LD10 because it uses AA batteries and I am supplied with AA batteries at work for flashlights.

I had a buddies act up like this and the switch was just coming loose inside ..

pop the tail cap off and you can see the plate for the switch just tighten it up a bit and it should fix it .. they were left hand threads if I recall correctly .. ( yeah you are supposed to use the proper spanner wrench.. I used a set of fine needle noses to do it )

Do you have an LD 10 mounted to an AR?
