    18650 Battery for Zebralight H600FC III

    Hey everyone, I just received a Zebralight H600FC III and a XTAR VC4 for my birthday, but I don't have any 18650 batteries. I am little overwhelmed by which battery to buy. Do I get protected or unprotected? I have heard mixed reviews on whether or not the Panasonic NCR18650B fits the...

    Help me pick a Zebralight headlamp (or other)

    Ohh build quality is a lot better on the Zebralight? Okay good to know. Maybe I will stick with Zebralight or look into Armytek. There's so many years options. Gahhh!

    Help me pick a Zebralight headlamp (or other)

    Thanks you for the response Chris! How do you find the HC50 for up close work? I'm an aircraft mechanic and I'm often in tight spots and need to be able to see details (wire codes etc.). Would the hotspot be too bright?

    Help me pick a Zebralight headlamp (or other)

    I really appreciate all the help guys. I am still indecisive of what I want. I was looking at the Nitecore headlamps and I really like the look and style of the the HC50 and HC60. Which one would be better for me (mainly up close work)? I know the HC60 is rechargeable, which is nice, but does it...

    Help me pick a Zebralight headlamp (or other)

    I am deciding between the Zebralight H52FW and the H502W, but I am not sure which one to pull the trigger on. I like the idea of having the option of more throw with the H52FW (if I ride my bike to work etc.), but I absolutely do not want an intense hot spot if I am working on something...

    Help me pick a Zebralight headlamp (or other)

    Hello everyone! I am an aircraft mechanic and am looking for a new headlamp to replace my old streamlight. From what I've seen around here, Zebralight seems to be the most recommended brand of headlamp. I want something that is fairly floody (with neutral white color) with a variety of...

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up buying a Streamlight Stylus Pro (love the size, and it's great for up-close work, still might buy a Preon 2 as well though). I am also looking at the Fenix LD22 as more of an EDC light, and for exterior inspections etc. I have read that Ni-Mh batteries...

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Thank you to everyone who responded to my thread! I really appreciate all the help. I think I'm going to buy 2 flashlights. One with a high CRI light like the IYP365 for up-close detailed inspections, and something brighter with more throw for inspections from a distance (eg. exterior stuff in...

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Thank you for the response! I already own a headlamp, and I like it. The Atom is a bit too stubby for my liking.

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Thank you for your suggestions! I definitely want something a little longer than the Lumintop Tool. The IYP365 looks like an awesome light, but I've heard it's very slippery. I deal with a lot of chemicals, oils etc. and I want something that is easy to grip. I didn't know anything about CRI...

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Thanks you for your response! I already have a headlamp which I use quite often. I am specifically looking for a replacement handheld flashlight, something like a penlight. I have heard a lot about the Preon 2, but it seems like it has problems with the switch. Any other good alternatives...

    Aircraft mechanic needs a new light!

    Hey guys! First time posting on the forum, but I've been lurking around on here for a while. I am an aircraft mechanic, and unfortunately yesterday, my 4 year old Fenix E25 flashlight started to flicker and ended up dying on me. So it's time for something new! I've been out of the loop on...
