That’s not what I meant. I was talking about the battery’s output, not the light’s output.
Click to expand…Ah, so it seems. I guess I should have read that more carefully.

If it’s a buck-boost thingy, that means it will lower too high voltage down to spec and boost a too low voltage. Therefore, in some cases, li-ion vs. lithium primary makes no difference whatsoever to brightness. On some lights, it does, though.
Click to expand…That’s not what I meant. I was talking about the battery’s output, not the light’s output. Rechargeable lithium cells can output substantially higher amperage than primaries can — sometimes at a rate that’s a multiple of their total capacity (i.e. 2 amps from a 1 amp-hour battery, etc.) — though that’s generally not advised, because it shortens their lifetime. The step-up converters you mentioned actually require that kind of amperage, because like any transformer, higher output voltage requires higher input amperage, and vice-versa.

I’m not an expert, but I gathered from CPF that when a cell vents, it’s likely to release some nasty chemicals. So be careful when you retrieve and open that cooled off light.
Click to expand…To be sure. My point was only that a reasonably well-made metal light isn’t going to explode in your hand just because the battery flares up.
I had the first note. I liked it but I didn’t like the old os so I sold it. Its something you have to get used to. Lol. The tab looks cool but for school use depends on what your doing.

I would only take it to the library to type up essays and such via Google Docs (it supports that, right? It does on my phone…). Light browsing between classes… but not for notetaking. I still prefer pen and paper. 🙂 Not much more than that, really. 🙂 I just need a basic, yet lightweight gadget to use at school. Since I’m biking, (and it shall be so for the next 3 years, at least), I would prefer it to be compact. The keyboard dock makes all the difference with the Tab. I don’t mind the screen size at all. I’m used to it since for a while I used Brother’s Nook daily for browsing and research.RogerStenning said: ↑
I like the idea of the Grease Monkey Wipes; pity we can’t get ’em here. Even Grime Boss have stopped doing individual wipes, it seems. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for similar kit. Having used Grime Boss wipes (in larger packs, not individual sachets), I can appreciate the need for a larger, industrial cleaning wipe, before an antiseptic wipe is deployed 🙂

They come in handy too if you’re a cyclist and need to change a rear flat ;).ballistic said: ↑
This is my minimalist FAK for small cuts & Ibuprofin that fits is a small Lok-Sak.

I was NOT amused. Never the less here’s a picture of me with one of my ar’s.
The note looks huge! I highly doubt I’d find any girl pockets that could fit that. 😳 Though I wouldn’t mind having the $239.00 white Tab 2.0 w/ dock and USB cradle thingie from Costco… It’d be great to have that to work on my schoolwork in the library without having to lug anything large around.

There have been lots of comments on now the iPhone 5 is too light. I like my phones with some heft. Thus waiting for the galaxy note 2!!
