    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    It does have wheels though they aren't very sturdy and don't provide a lot of ground clearance, works for me :) I'm a warm-water diver though in Hawaii with a 3mm full wetsuit which is more than enough for here, can really get away with a shorty or not even wear a wetsuit in the water here.

    Intova IFL 660 Mod.. XML U2 approx 930 lumens per specsheets PICS!!

    I got my Intova IFL 660 and just finished modifying it like I did my wide-angle Nova light, I took lots of pictures this time.

    Intova Nova Wide Angle Mod

    Ok, so I got a Intova Nova WA from a friend at work to modify after he saw the other lights that I've modified so far.

    Nemo torches

    Stock they suck only 33 lumens. So bad my work was throwing one away and I took it home and modified it to use a CREE XR-E R2 LED that I had. Pretty good with the mod, but stock not so much.
