    Zebralight SC52 & SC52w

    I had a H51r that flew off my bike a couple of times, once at 50kmh and it hit bitumen and it survived. Then a year later I dropped it 60cm to a concrete floor and it must have fallen the wrong way because now some of the modes don't work, including strobe which was the most important for me...

    Can I directly measure resistence/impedence of a battery?

    I just scored a hand me down fluke 179 multimeter. It has a resistance mode. I know I can calculate impedance using 2 voltage readings and a resistor and a formula etc, however was wondering if I can measure it directly on the multimeter. I'm a bit cautious though because I'm wondering if...

    Looking for a new 18650 thrower...

    Thanks all. Lol yeah that looks good but after converting from USD is going to be out of my budget :( A few people have suggested the M2X-UT for 1x18650 and it is looking like the best choice :) Questions... - What did the customise on the xp-l led? Dedome? Why not a xp-l hi? - The review...

    Looking for a new 18650 thrower...

    M3xs has a whole lotta lux! What is olight quality like compared to the other brands I mentioned? And are their stats reliable like fenix&eagletac? Just stumbled onto the eagletac M30LC2 as well.

    Looking for a new 18650 thrower...

    I'm looking for a very throwy light, mostly just for spotlighting stuff at night for fun. I already have a TK41 and a TK22. The 41 definitely throws better than the 22 (the 22 is a great general purpose walking light), but I'm looking for something hopefully at least as good as the 41, but in...

    *2016* New Fenix PD32 2016: 900 Lumens

    New Fenix PD32 2016 Wondering, what is are the main selling points/differences between a PD32 2016 and a PD35 Tactical? Outputs are pretty similar, runtimes are slightly different, UI slightly different, one is a shade smaller than the other. But they seem too similar to me? Not quite like...

    What is the best charger and 18650's for the money?

    Maybe the boxes were made in china? I've only just received my first 18650s - keepower Panasonic ga's. They said assembled in china from cell and protection circuit made in Japan.

    Recommend my first 18650 light?

    Got my tk22 today super fast delivery for this time of year, wasn't expecting it till after Xmas :) love the feel of it, and seems extremely well made. It's so beautiful I started crying ... when I looked into the beam ;). And now its getting wrapped up and I can't play with it till tomorrow...

    Need for warm vs. cool tint LEDs?

    Was going to start my own thread but hopefully its ok to necro this one??? To start with I think each individual's preferred tint is a combination of psychology (what you grew up with or are used to at home etc), physiology (different people see colours somewhat differently - old eyes are...

    Recommend my first 18650 light?

    Ok so I realised I want at least two lights (haha!!) and need to pick one to start with... My 1st priority is a non-compact 18650 with only modest throw and a wide beam, serious toughness, and a nasty looking bezel. I think I've picked the TK22 to meet these requirements :) The TK16 is also a...

    Recommend my first 18650 light?

    I was about to post and say I've added pd35 to the list. I suppose the p12 and tn12 have to go on too but generally I'd pick fenix over thrunight or have they stepped up their quality? Looked at eagletacs they seems to be very nice lights. Can't buy one of everything though :(

    Recommend my first 18650 light?

    Thanks celticcross, good to know which specs to believe, I like that fenix doesn't exaggerate its one of the reasons I trust them. I'll check out some eagletacs too. Kind of wish I could get the zebralight ui and levels including moon modes but in a tank body like tk22 :) Are the zebralight...
