gonzo, my opinion is very sided.
the reason my opinion is one sided is because your products really are inferior, and because of the way you act.
my review however was very subjective. i was quick to point out the flaws, but i was also quick to point out the sucesses.
i pointed out that your focusing mechanism and machining were very good.
and i pointed out that i wasn't very fond of surefires water resistance.

i do have a high-school diploma, just got it last year in fact, being only 18 years old.
you're saying that from my posts?
have you read your posts? i admit that while some of my postings may not be all to clear to some, they're 10times better than yours are.

why modify it?
i'm modifying it as a favor for a friend, because it's never been done, and a little bit just to stick it to ya.
also, i didn't think it would be that difficult. after seeing it in person and discovering that the reflector, switch, bulb housing, and orings were so poorly designed, i now realise that this will not be a simple project, but require a lot of work.
when it's done, it will be a very good light, because i am modifying all aspects of the design that i felt weren't suitable. (switch, reflector, bulb mechanism, orings).
in fact, i'd like to send it to you after i'm done, maybe you could impliment some of the changes, but i wouldn't trust you to return it to its rightful owner afterwards :(
 
ROTH...

It is accepted, You are just a Kid, and got among adult and pretend to be an adult...

So if you have a High School Diploma proof it to me and I will send You the $100.00

Upon finishing University, You may return to this Thread again and if You smart, I may even hire You!!!

Remember what is in Your Head, that is Your only "wealth" all others come and go!!!

The informative Thread!!!!
 
The SHOT Show will be February 12 - 15, 2004 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Time is running out!!

I will be at the Shot Show...

Groncz, why should Roth wait until after completing college? I have three college majors under my belt and do you know what? It really does not mean that much. I can tell you that Roth knows more about lights than I do. I would hope that you would realize that a great many people are well educated and quite capable without the benefit of a formal education. If this is the attitude you are going to take, then I know something is very wrong with you.


It is odd that you never address any of my questions.
 
Ste,

Thanks for reminding me of the Shotshow. Is any special Law Enforcement demo etc.

Thanks,

The informative Thread!!!
 
g.b.:

Are you advising that you intend to provide an L.E. demo or are you asking if there will be any L.E. demos?

Will you have a booth, etc?



Stuart
 
Ste,

Yes if there is possible for demo, we are interessted to provide some lights for testing etc.

Thanks

The informative Thread!!!!
 
g.b.:

I would recommend that you contact the SHOT Show administrators at the earliest possible time at www.shotshow.org (Moderators, if it is not permissible to post the link please remove with my apologies) and request booth space for your products. I am sure that several other manufacturer's lights can be provided by either the manufacturers themselves or by other interested parties.

You should either attend yourself or have a suitable representative attend to insure that there are no allegations of tampering/altering of your lights.

If you are unable to secure a suitable testing location I will be willing to attempt to assist with that regard.

yes, i am still very young. i know it and i admit it.
however i don't believe that a person can be judged by age alone. i've been through and done more and know more for my age than some people ever will.

anyway, as i was taking a picture of my diploma, i figured i might as well take a couple shots of the mod progress thus far.
heres's the diploma:

here's a shot of the tail-end, modded with a kroll clicky switch:

here's a shot of the front end. it's been dug out a bit to allow the deeper pelican reflector to fully engage, and to allow more convienent mounting of the heatsink module:

and here's a shot of the head. the stock reflector was bored out, and the spanner holes and threading were preserved to hold the modified pelican reflctor firmly in place:

as i said, it's a lot of work, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end :)

is that satisfactory goncz?

*edited to add*
i had hoped to make it to the shotshow, but it looks as if i won't be able to make it now :(
if anyone is able to go (especially goncz) i would strongly encourage them to go!
it's going to be a blast :(
 
OOOFFAA! Now THATS why I rarely engage in betting!

Will that be sent as check or money order?

Stuart
 
How does the greatest knife, guna nd flashlight designer of our time(or so he seems to claim) not knwo about the SHOT show?
 
"Star engine" appaears to refer to a type of engine used in aircraft. e.g. "Centauras XXI star engine" was used in the UK's WWII Sea Fury fighter; "Pratt and Whitney star engine" used in WWII U.S. military aircraft.
 
Found those references to Thomas, but no further explanation in the quick search I made before work. Can't say that I everheard of such an engine during ground school, and that prof was(is still, I'm sure) big on history,a nd big on the mechaics of it, as he built at least 5 different kit planes and also taught auto shop classes, so can't really see him skipping any major engine type. Heck, even went over wankel rotaries, which weren't in any plane I know of.
 
and now owes $100.00

I wonder if that will be in the form of cash or ten of his flashlights.

His 'good' ones are $10.00 a piece, right?

My bet is that he won't pay!!!!
 
Lets give Goncz some time to pay up as quick as he was to bet. It would be a shame if he even attempts to welsh on the bet with so many witness to the bet and the proof of a high school diploma visible to all on this never ending thread. Hey! John Goncz. Pay off on the bet so people don't consider you to be lower than a Scabbed Over Bleeding Hemorrhoid. Currently you are easily the equal of a SOBH. IMHO
 
PROOF NEEDED,

The thing I see is a Diploma, no name no veryfication of the person and the diploma. Ones the name person, address is verifyed, the check goes out!

Bet 1 lost!!!!

The informative Thread!!!!
 
John, you are so full of $HIT!!

Here is someone who told you that he just graduated, and the date on the diploma suggests that.

Rothrandir has one of your flashlights.. You sent it to him!!

He takes a picture of your flashlight with the diploma in the background.

Rothrandir got you!!

I can understand him not wanting his full name posted on the internet for security issues.

Pay up!!

Then maybe you should keep your trap shut before it costs you a lot more.

We're getting awful tired of all your whistling down in the Dixie land...
 
The prototype Hawker Sea Fury was built "with a Centarus XXI 'star engine.'"

The Vought F4U Corsair was equipped with a "K/W/ Pratt and Whitney XR-2800 Double Wasp 'star engine.'"

In both cases, "star engine" was placed in quotation marks.
