    Recommendations for logging light meter

    I use the Exetech SDL400, but it's actually more expensive now than it was when I bought it.

    Does the Tecsun require a button-top cell?

    *** Maelstrom MXS 2nd Run

    I don't think that is what Mr Tone is referring to. I think he's saying that if you have Low/Medium memorized and go to Burst, when Burst switches to High after 30 seconds, High becomes memorized.

    SOLVED: Maha Powerex MH-C9000 fails start test!

    I'm curious to hear if you end up getting it working. I ended up scrapping mine, which was a bummer.

    How to remove Zebralight clip?

    Thanks. I found a set of small screwdriver ones at Amazon. I'll add them to my next order.

    How to remove Zebralight clip?

    What tool do I need to remove the new style Zebralight clip with the three holes? Nothing I have around the house works. Not that I'm looking forward to buying a tool for one thing, but this clip is annoying. (I'm not sure this is a great place to ask this, but nothing better jumped out.)

    Hurry up new Quarks!

    You might already have found out, but it arrives in Config 3. I'm surprised how warm High will get. Based on the fact that mode memory is widely used, I assume it's liked by most people, right, and that I'm the odd-ball who isn't a fan?

    THE light, none of you have (I think) ACR FA-

    I can separate the two halves of the head, but can't unscrew the light module from the bezel. I see what you're saying about the battery tube. Maybe brass mates with itself *very* well, but I wouldn't count on it being more than water resistant.

    THE light, none of you have (I think) ACR FA-

    I was over confident. Looks like the LED module is bound with loctite. On the plus side, I assume it really is waterproof, but that negates most of my plans. Looks like d-c-fix it is.

    V-04 is a mule with 12 Refond 2835 0.5 watt 4000K 85 CRI. U-04 is a a cool white XP-L HI driven at ~4amps. Both run on an 18650. They're both good lights, but completely different. While the U-04 runs longer than the thrower I have, and is smaller (though not narrower at the body), I have no...

    Peak's website?

    Can someone help me out with what I assume is common knowledge for folks around here? RMSK is not Peak, even though that lists a host of Peak flashlights (https://em-mgt.com/newsite/peak-led-solutions/)? Meanwhile, the Peak site I can find seemingly hasn't been updated in five years...

    Yeah. It arrived today. I thought only the Kickstarter ones had the reflector. Javier really needs to update his website. And I was sent a U-04 instead of a V-04, so I'm 0 for 2. This day just keeps not being a good one.

    Bones vs Bravo thread

    Going back to the first post, I'm surprised that the Bones has its own optic. I wonder how well the wide optic works in it.

    Prometheans Sign Up Thread

    Please sign me up. $750 is out of my budget, but kudos for the Tron. That's awesome.

    I have one on the way. I can't believe I haven't been able to find out which bulb the FA-5 used. It looks like most of the bulbs of that size and voltage are 6-10 lumens. The FA-5 seems to have had a short reflector of sots, but I assume the beam would be mostly a mule.
