May 29, 2007: A couple of HID updates! Pacific Tactical Solutions has a new 24 Watt compact HID, and PowerLEDs.de will soon have available a new super compact 10 Watt HID.

I am still using the original Warrior 10W sent by PowerLEDs.de and have found both 4x123A and 8x123A battery compartments for it, allowing 1 or 2 hrs runtime with disposable cells for use in the field. I really like these lights because of their intensity, great spotting ability, compact size and surprisingly long runtimes relative to their enormous output.

May 27, 2007: Just recieved word that CandlePowerForums is still undergoing a major upgrade... in the meantime, you CPF regulars can can rest and relax with everyone at the "Temporary CPF Lounge" found on EDC Forums!

Here's a handy link: Flashlight Holsters compatability table from Ripoffs. (I still don't get why anyone would name their company "ripoffs"...).

May 26, 2007: Here's a cool video that was found on MetaCafe: "Make a $100 super bright cop Flashlight for less than $10" (The link to this video is for educational purposes only.

May 25, 2007: CandlePowerForums is down, in case you were wondering. They are performing some upgrades. It looks like the Underground is down as well. In the meantime you can visit the Flashlight Forums.

World Tools has contacted me about their offering of Inova flashlights. They are currently advertising 20% off their line of Inova flashlights if you would like to check them out.

May 09, 2007: Both the Fenix P3D and the LumaPower M3 Transformer have been received. Reviews are coming. First impressions are quite good. The P3D is very bright and the M3 (with optional turbohead and two reflectors) allows for 18 different possible configurations by swapping the heads, reflector, body tubes, and tailcaps.

May 02, 2007: I have recently been in contact with Lumapower and will be recieving one of their M3 Transformer lights for review. I'd call this a "kit light" because it has so many options due to its modular design. The M3 can morph into almost any light you need with its regular head, turbo head (smooth and textured reflectors), 1xAA, 2xAA, 1x123A body tubes, 2 stage tailcap, and single stage tactical tailcap. Internally it has 2 output levels, and using the two stage tailcap gives it a third level. Light is produced by a power module with integrated Cree XR-E LED.

Yo, Canadians! Pass the Molson, eh? I just received an email from Fenix Canada where you can get your Fenix flashlights, listed in CA$ and with free shipping. Ya crazy Canuks!

Apr 17 , 2007: The P2D came in and I was able to put together the review for this one rather quickly since it's really just an L1D/L2D powered with a 123A cell. Conditional rating of 5 Stars, pending runtimes. All that was needed were new pictures and the throw and output numbers updated, with runtimes coming soon. I really like the 123A body form factor since it provides the power of the L2D with a size that is smaller than an L1D, plus the versatility of the LxD circuitry. I do believe that this is THE light I've been waiting for. As far as I'm concerned, the quest is over for my perfect EDC (Every Day Carry) light. Sorry, Peak Caribbean, but I'm afraid you will finally be retired to the desk drawer!

Apr 11 , 2007: Reviews have come to a stand-still for now. Sorry! Too little time (and energy) to devote to this right now.

Mar 23, 2007: Finally - two new reviews added! Donations page updated - Thank you everyone!
