Welcome Melven. I've used Lighthound a few times now for various purchases, and like you stated all have been excellent experiences.
okwchin, those are some crazy maglight prices! I feel bad mentioning that I picked up a couple of 2D incans for mods for $16 each and a couple of 2aa mini mags for $3.50 each.
I have charged 32600s on a WF-139 charger. All you need is some wooden dowel of about 50mm in length. Screw a small wood screw into each end. Solder a red wire to one screw and a black wire to the other. Use some magnets with leads (Magtrix are the ones I have) to connect the wires to the cells. The dowel plus screws goes into the charger. Also works for measuring capacity of larger cells with an AA/AAA only charger like the Angeleyes ones i have.
It takes a very long time to charge them that way - 10-12 hours for the 32600s I have.
I ordered the SS bezel B5 and SS lanyard ring and 2 14500 cells from them on sunday and i received the items today. they have reasonable prices and shipping price was'nt bad. i would order from them again.
Its the shipping that gets me. Other than that, I have no complaints. They're as fast as anybody, I just usually talk myself into spending $75 when I shouldn't.
just realized last nite that the b5 bezel they sent was actually the b2. i contacted them by email and got a reply earlier saying that they had sent out the right part and to keep the original one they sent. I called them on the phone and somebody picked up right away to confrim that they had in fact sent the new correct item. Id say thats great customer service @ Lighthound.
I've been thinking about ordering a Solarforce body from them, it 9and they) get such great reviews.
Doesn't appear that they currently have any hi-performance drop-ins for the body, though.Am I just looking in the wrong place for the drop in on their site?
They usually stock everything for P60 drop-ins from solarforce, thrunite, even nailbender (although its a lot cheaper to get the nailbender ones right from the source)
I ordered a solarforce l2 from the source. solarforce-sales.com they have very good prices and shipping is only $2. it took them 10 days to get from HK to indiana.
I ordered some stuff and asked if they could make a discount code for budgetlightforum.com. So now you can use blf as coupon code for 2% off instead of having to use the code for the other place (starts with c, ends with f and p in the middle ).
My Lighthound edition of the Balder SE-1 started flickering (not PWM lol) finally died. I called them day before yesterday they were VERY nice & post haste sent me RMA & I should have the light back with in a week of RMA. They are on my short list of preferred vendors.
