    Sold/Expired SOLD: Surefire E1B with U bin XM-L!

    Re: FS: Surefire E1B with U bin XM-L! This does look like an excellent set-up... it's got me interested! So what's the tint like? I realise warmer XM-L tints are hard to come by at the moment. And what's the lumens output on the lowest level, in your estimation? Thanks!

    "Being seen" front light

    In view of my recent previous thread where I was debating buying quite a high-powered front light I have decided that what I really need is not a replacement for the "Fenix in lockblock" arrangement but rather a small, relatively cheap bike-specific front light that will provide some broad...

    Hope Vision 1 - opinions?

    pe2er thanks for pointing out the other thread. I realise the EOS has rather limited side illumination but I can live with that even if it is not ideal. The fact is no light not designed specifically for cycling is going to provide much light sideways, and certainly the EOS is no worse than a...

    Hope Vision 1 - opinions?

    Thanks for the replies! :thumbsup: spankone, I'd ideally like a light designed to be mounted on a bike. I've admittedly only tried the TwoFish Lockblock, but so far I'm not convinced by flashlight-to-handlebar mounts: fiddly, likely to move when you don't want it to etc. In view of the rather...

    Hope Vision 1 - opinions?

    Hi, Looking into getting a new front bike light for around town duties - lost my SSC modded PT EOS Bike a while ago :banghead: and have been making do with a small Fenix on a lock block. New light should be compact, self-contained, not that expensive and of course adequately bright, i.e...

    Nitecore EZ switch tweak or mod?

    Hi, I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I almost assume it has - but my searching efforts did not turn up anything... I recently bought a Nitecore EZ123. It's a nice light with a great form factor. But I really don't like the force required to reach the high mode. Has anyone done a mod...

    Sold/Expired P7, MC-E, UV & Night vision IR !!! P60/D26 style drop-ins for Sf products (part 2)

    Re: P7, MC-E, UV & Night vision IR !!! P60/D26 style drop-ins for Sf products (part 2 I have a reasonable understanding of physics but my knowledge of electronics is limited. Must admit the statement above to me sounds like the wattage of the LED & driver (and hence the output) varies...

    Re: P7, MC-E, UV & Night vision IR !!! P60/D26 style drop-ins for Sf products (part 2 Thanks for the previous reply. The 2.8amps figure, is that with a 3.7 or 6V supply? Also, what neutral or warm-white MC-E bins do you (/will you in the coming weeks) have available? I'm getting very close to...

    Tint comparison K2 tffc UWOE vs TVOD and others - modded 120P

    Well, had another tinker with the light, taking the view that I didn't have much to lose since the light was not functional anyway and IT NOW WORKS!!! :D I hate to admit this :o, especially as I was convinced I got it right first time, but it looks like I got the LED polarity wrong... It is...

    Tint comparison K2 tffc UWOE vs TVOD and others - modded 120P

    Thanks for the PMs tx101 and Nailbender! I'll have another tinker with the light tonight, and if it still doesn't work after that it'll be time to get in touch with one of the forum's expert modders...

    Tint comparison K2 tffc UWOE vs TVOD and others - modded 120P

    Well, I finally got around to trying this mod. All went just about ok until the very end - turning the light on. Nothing. No response whatsoever. :mecry: Any suggestions as to what I should check before I send the light off to one of CPF's great modders to save my light from a future as nothing...

    **SOLVED** ...someone to do Novatac emitter swap

    Just to let you know: I've actually now solved the problem! Following some advice from tx101 I was convinced I had the right tool for the job and so had another go at battling the loctite - and won! (The trick turned out to be to use one hand to force the pliers apart into the retaining ring...

    **SOLVED** ...someone to do Novatac emitter swap

    Re: Looking for someone to do Novatac emitter swap No, that sort of treatment is what I meant by "more radical methods" - the sort of thing that I'd like to leave to others with more experience of these things... Thanks for advice anyway! :thumbsup:

    **SOLVED** ...someone to do Novatac emitter swap

    I was going to do this mod myself and have already bought the K2TFFC I would like to use. However, despite my best efforts and having even bought an additional tool I have not managed to remove the retaining ring in my 85P's head. So rather than resorting to more force or radical methods of...
