    "Budget" 18650 Batteries

    I have 4 blue and 2 grey unprotected trustfires, the only thing I've had gone wrong is one of the blue ones go dead around a year after purchase.

    Amybody ever go Spider Hunting?

    I have sometimes when I'm outdoors or camping, just to see how many reflections of Wolf-Spider eyes I can see. I've gone unintentional spider hunting with some orb-weaver spiders a few times, definitely the scariest-looking spiders I've come across although upon closer inspection they're just...

    Re: 4sevens Quark Mini Tint Options: A Quick Look. csshih, if you have the time could you take some 3200K outdoor shots as well?

    different LED's (MC-E, SST-90,XR-E, Rebell, P7..) UV exposed

    I tried this myself as well, it's weird how the SSC's are so yellow compared to the Crees of similar tint. And how orange anything remotely warm is.

    Bad Review for Romisen RC-T6

    Unforunately the Chinese P7s and MCE's still seem to be derived from incandescent designs and have heat transfer problems. I bought an Aurora 2x18650 P7 from DX but it just sits on my shelf gathering dust as the LED probably runs too hot on high and the resistor might burn out on low. I think...

    Fenix E01 unpotted & driver efficiency data

    What's the maximum input voltage the driver can handle, I was just running a Li-ion 10440 (4.09 V) but to my surprise found that it is not supported and that I could not find any mention of someone having tested one.

    Rayovac Sportsman Extreme 300 Lumen Lantern - MORE INFO ???

    I wanted to improve the tint of mine and after 2 months got DealExtreme to send me an MC-E WG. I almost bought an XR-E 5A from Dereelight but for US$7 more I thought I could live with the cool white tint as it would theoretically be brighter and run cooler. Having fitted it (tip: drill out the...

    My first flashaholic camping trip

    I've thought of replacing the LEDs on a cheap headlamp with yellow 5mm LEDs, direct driving an (amber) power LED in a 2xAA headlamp housing which I already have is another option. The third option is buying a pair of 3D glasses and making a filter for my RC-N3 which I can clip onto a hat.

    My first flashaholic camping trip

    I've been on a few flashaholic camping trips with progressively more toys, I invested in a H60W and found that high (91 lm) and Medium-high (37 lm) were the most useful, these lumens are spread out evently though. Now with a decent headlamp I find that I no longer need lanterns quite so much to...

    EastwardYJ YJ-XGR2 ( First impressions )

    I have a different model from EastwardYJ and noticed a couple of faults: the LED has no heatsink paste and the non-collapsible spring attatched to the driver was being crushed (I removed the brass riser from the tailcap just leaving the bare spring).

    Zebralight H60

    Not sure what you're talking about specifically, but I am aware that the ZL will turn itself off when the battery runs low, but will still work for a while on lower modes. Just trying to relate the experience of using it as my only source of illumination, sort of like a shake-down cruise.

    Anybody here like cats?

    I'm glad your cat's okay but that's freaky for a non-photoshopped cat photo. This cat is an umpteenth generation garbage dump cat that my brother got from a dump next to the factory where he works. She's small, acrobatic and single-minded (snatched food out of our hand on a couple of occasions...

    Zebralight H60

    Finally tested my H60W on a camping trip, lanterns have become secondary. I should note that I added a strap that goes over the top of the head (should come like this from the factory). With the 5A there's no issues with the colour rendition. Using the default second-to-highest mode drained my...

    Zebralight H60

    I would never intentionally dunk mine, just in case things like the above take place. The only issue I've had is that it sometimes turns itself back on (maybe 1 out of 10 times) between 0 and 5 seconds after being switched off. I haven't been able to reproduce it on cue so I'm still not sure if...
