    Thoughts on new Petzl Tikka Series

    +1 on d1337's comment The beam pattern is too narrow for hiking with little spill... with the diffuser, its just doesn't seem bright enough. There are much better options out there. The rebel eos was visibly brighter than my XP Tikka Plus 2 and the tint was much more outdoor friendly. Add...

    Petzl Tikka XP 2?

    Just picked one of these up. Here's the bottom line before you read-on.... If I didn't have a $40 credit at a local store I wouldn't have picked one up. Now that I've had a chance to use it I would honestly say that I would NOT recommend purchasing one. The GOOD: Small form factor Built in...

    New Quark Prism Kit

    While we're on this subject... another member put some feelers out about two years ago for a similar prism kit... . Fast-forward to today and we see that both fenix and 4sevens are producing angle light "headlamps" although he didn't pioneer the idea... I believe some credit is due. At the...

    NEW Black Diamond Sprinter

    After checking the black diamond website... looks to be fully regulated for 5 hours on high ! I wouldn't mind having more output for shorter runtime. It also looks like it might Ramp up/down like the BD lanterns. I'm gonna check the retail store tomorrow, but may have to pull the trigger...

    Multi-purpose Aluminum Headlamp Design

    looks to be coming along nicely.:naughty: I might be in the minority, but like the original mount better. If the gimball mount were optional accessory it would be nice, but simple is usually better (cheaper), and providing fewer points of potential failure. Good work either way!

    Flashlights for flashing at ghost?

    Just watched ghost adventures last night on the travel channel. The host used something called a "dark light" to attracts ghosts. Google pulls up random threads that lead to nothing... Any ideas... speculation?

    EZ AA - Vote for your clip or etc

    Snap on clips suck... I went through two of the d10 d20 style clips because of other mfg. issues. I like modoo's design... it would allow the light to sit nice and low. ...

    Newbie help - PZ MYOXP with Li/NiMh

    Replied to your other thread, You could also consider just popping two Lithium AA in the battery pack, and using a "bridge/ dummy battery" to take the place of the third. Not an expert myself, but done it in practice a couple of times.

    “MYO” and “MYO Belt” Headlamps RECALL

    Mike, I can't recall where it is, but if you do a search here for the myoxp (grey version), there were a couple of users that modified their battery packs to work with a 2AA lithiums. They even posted pics. I modded a 4AA Battery pack to work, when out riding my bike. The mod was pretty easy...

    Princeton Tec Corona Inquiry

    after about 8 hours constant high last night, the overall light output dropped somewhere between the medium and low setting with fresh batteries. for my dark adjusted eyes, Low is plenty of light for walking-speed navigation. As far as I know there is no PWM on the new MYO XP, and I'm...

    Princeton Tec Corona Inquiry

    No prob, my EDCF username is B.S., It is the new version. Can't remember how the output was, but definitely still good for navigation and hands free use. If I remember I'll take some pics tonight with some fresh NIMH and run the same test.

    Princeton Tec Corona Inquiry

    I'm recently a fan of the Myo XP with Seoul p4 LED. It gets outstanding run time, and has a slightly yellow/white tint which renders greens and outdoor colors really well. I'll try the lamp on my hard hat later tonight and repost tomorrow. I'd say yes to the 10-15 feet of flood. I've...
