    Trontium Reactor

    For a second there I thought it was a reactor myself since it has a similar name to several isotopes and it's called reactor as well. Nice device but I don't think there are many laptops out in the market that use the USB Power Delivery spec, yours is the first device I've seen of it's kind as...

    Spark SX5 disassembly

    Anyone know if I can disassemble the end caps where the wire comes in of the Spark SX5? I seem to have a short somewhere and I'm trying to locate it.

    Spark SD6-500CW and Batteries

    Pity he didn't get you the Spark SX5, it's got a lower high mode but lasts a long time with the 18650 battery pack. Read the fine print on your light I use unprotected Sanyo's 18650 and I trust them more than protected cells since there's an increase risk of the PCB causing a short if you...

    Klarus st20 tail switch

    A couple of days ago the tail switch on my Klarus St20 seems to have gone bad, I say this after testing with a paper clip and seeing the light turn on without issues. I've tried emailing klarus to see if I could buy a replacement from them or if they could give me any specifications that might...

    Interesting read: Why Headlamp Claims are Deceptive

    I've always doubted some of the claims made on lights simply because they're too impressive. For example the Snow Peak SnowMiner has very good runtimes at 8 lumens on 3AAA's that supposedly lasts 140h, for comparison my Spark SX5 at 8 lumens with 3AAA's is rated to last 40 hours. The same thing...

    Camping Light

    I use a Spark SX5 which is pretty nice, wish I could find a diffuser like this light though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd52bTqsot4

    Jungle proof led front battery headlight

    I live near the beach and never had any problem with aluminum lights rusting, nor a bike for that matter. Neither of them have been dunked in salty water though, so alunimum should be fine as long as you don't dunk it in the ocean and it's a high enough grade. I use a Spark SX5 headlight which...

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    2nd what Shelm said, thanks for your review. I was considering buying it but found some pictures on the mode that I was looking forwards too and it didn't seem to be bright enough at that range. Left: SC52 AA 0.34 lumens, RIght: EC2 2 lumens Left: SC52 AA 2.7 lumens, RIght: EC2 2 lumens...

    Getting back into rechargeables -- advice needed

    There are plenty of decent chargers on the cheaper range, I use the Australian version of the duracell CEF23DX4N charger I bought from schnoop for $11 with 2 blacktops included. The expensive chargers are nice if you have a large collection of batteries that you'd like to keep for a long time...

    Would You TRUST a TrustFire 18650 after watching this video?

    Isn't that a safer way than using protected cells? I mean with the protected cells the circuitry can fail due to mishandling of the cell in shipping, getting tossed around or the spring on the light damaging the PCB. Without the protection the only thing that can fail is you, as long as you use...

    Help me decide which light for my bicycle.

    My reply got erased so here's the short version. You can use 18650 cells on it and I do so myself. I use a foam grip from a bike that I cut to fit inside the plastic sleeve that spark included for use with 26650 cells or 3AAA. The 18650 cells fits all nice and snuggly inside the plastic foam...

    1 aa light wanted

    Zebralight SC52 is all the rave in single AA format at the moment. Might be worth looking at, though the price is around $60
