    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2016 Anyone aware of upcoming special editions or any that I might have missed for the current generation? All I see are tropical tones and forrest tones. There have been some really cool ones in the past, ex. glitter, disney, rouge tones. I've been...

    Its official. I'm a C2-HA addict..... *part 2*

    I've got a nailbender XML dropin w/orange peel reflector, and SureFire FM34 flip up diffuser in my bored C2. Super bright, and floody when needed. I was thinking that a triple hCRI Nichia would be the perfect setup with the diffuser.

    Trail running headlamp

    Interesting to find the ZL H600 was picked as "editors choice" in the April 2013 US issue of TrailRunner magazine! The review mentioned its flimsy strap and that there's to be a redesign/upgrade to it (the strap) this summer. Great to see ZL get some mainstream recognition, and that they're...

    vinhnguyen64 Custom Modded Lights Work, XPG-G2 Neutral V10R? XML-U3 De-Dome? ;-)

    After the fantastic job Vinh did on what had to be a very difficult Ti Preon-I mod, I was just about to have two more lights (much easier/basic) modded. Looks like I missed the boat though. Sidenote: If anyone knows where I can get a couple Nichia HCRI 219s on 16mm rounds, or boards re-flowed...

    Where to buy Eneloop batteries? Are they the best?

    The Eneloop XX AAA are 950mAh (HR-4UWXA4A). They're listed on US amazon as available soon. I have a order in for two packs when they ship. It seems like some people like to bash the Eneloop XX line because of the lower cycle life which is the negative side of the additional capacity, plus...

    Its official. I'm a C2-HA addict..... *part 2*

    Thanks for the clear explanation NoGas, I've been wondering about that. I have a C2-HA bored, w/Nailbender 3-mode XM-L neutral dropin, smooth stainless steel bezel ring, and SF FM-34 diffuser. Mcclicky switch is the next, possilby final upgrade ... except maybe a Triple Nichia 219 dropin 2-mode.

    Would someone mind explaining the purpose of the notch/indent on the tailcap and the body on the tailcap side? Thanks [edit] example can be seen in the 1st pic post #728

    Leatherman Skeletool

    Just realized this thread was resurrected. Still a good tool. Apparently there was a recall at one point? The URL posted doesn't work anymore so no detail.

    Leatherman Skeletool

    You can copy the item link from amazon, and go to camel camel camel dot com ... paste your link, and have a look at the price change over the past year plus. A nice tool. I've had the skeletool since a couple months of release, and there is not a fault I can find with it.

    Best way to long-term store li-ion battery`s

    Re: How do you store away 18650 ? that 20-40% range must be under heavy use in extreme conditions. anecdotally, i've got a pair 18650's that are still sold performers in there 4th year ... ultrafires (pink) no less. [edit] or maybe i read that wrong. could be loss of power during storage...

    Fell over into the 'HI-CRI' side (Nichia 219) Now my XML beams feel garish and fugly.

    I keep waiting for the 219 to be introduced on a mainstream light, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Only small, one-off batches of drop-ins or small builder lights. I think a 18650 light w/magnetic control ring using the 219 would do it for me.
