    Will two 18350 batteries fit in a c6 host? Yes!

    I did a search for this subject and found mixed info on it. Some said yes some said no. Some said only flat tops would fit some said button tops would fit. I was surprised to only find one thread on lpf about it and it ended with no conclusion. I didnt want to buy some batteries online only to...

    Looking for a good 3.7-4.2 Volt 16340 battery

    I bought some gtl 2300mah 16340 batteries a few months back in preparation for my first laser build. I didnt know anything about the batteries and figured I would give them a try. Well as some of you might know these batteries are pieces of shit. I think they actually hold about 150ma of power...

    Why do Lasers leave trails?

    I searched the same question here and on google. Other people had asked the same question but the people that answered it didnt understand the question. They answered it with things like dust in the air reflecting the light. But that explains the beam, not the trails from the a moving laser. So...

    So my 4 d cell mag lite that I have had for 20 years got stolen, Yes I am very sad. But because of that I was willing to buy a new one. I bought a 3 cell and I believe it specs out to be brighter than the old bulb style. I took it apart and was looking at the emitter, I believe that is what the...

    Seeing things at night. Why can some things be seen out of the corner of your eye?

    I started a thread asking about how high visually one can one see a laser in the night sky and it made me think of something else. I was shining my laser straight up and my buddy who lives about 4 miles away could barely see it but only if he was not trying to focus on it. He had to look to the...

    Laser into the night sky, How far am I seeing it?

    I have a 5mw green pointer and 1.7w+- 445nm pointer. When I shine them both into the night sky they both seem to go on until a certain point. The point is the same with the both of them. How far is it? I have a theory that its the intersection of a straight line from my eye versus a straight...
