    Surefire L2 vs. L4 w/ 2stage tail

    How would an L4 modded with a 2 stage tailcap compare to an L2? I like the smaller form of the L4, and the ability to swap resistors to change the lower brightness level depending on my needs. However, I assume that the L4 on low would be unregulated since it is just a resistor? Thanks in...

    Trade HDS Basic 42 for Surefire L1?

    Well, after some thought I am actually leaning more towards an L4 with 2 stage tailcap. How would you stack that up agains the HDS 42? I know i cant trade straight across for that one, but it seems like it might be better suited to me than an L1. Thanks

    Trade HDS Basic 42 for Surefire L1?

    Thanks for all of the reply's and advice guys, and sorry for taking so long to respond. I was at school all day yesterday until 11pm so I never had a chance to respond. I still havent decided what I want to do, I was just thinking of an excuse for a new light that I cant afford right now ;). I...

    Trade HDS Basic 42 for Surefire L1?

    I am considering trading/selling my HDS basic 42 for a surefire L1. I do not need a light for EDC, as I carry a peak AAA and anything any larger is too big for me to EDC. I mainly want a light to keep with me when I know I will be needing it, such as for camping, night fising etc. Would this be...

    Flickering Peak matterhorn

    I have a 3LED peak matterhorn hi power that I purchased about three months ago, and I noticed the other day that it started to flicker while it was turned on. I replaced the battery, cleaned the contacts but the problem still is not fixed. I have not cleaned the contact that is in the bottom of...

    Rechargeable R123's in surefire L2?

    Rechargeable R123\'s in surefire L2? I am wondering if Li-Ion R123's will work in the surefire L2? I did a search and found that Pila's will not fit, but I didnt see anything about 123's. What is the consensus on this? Thanks Daniel

    HDS Basic or Ultimate 42?

    Well, Kevin at batterystation said that he was not sure whether their current stock of HDS lights has the new clip or not. I am tempted to just order one anyway, but I want to be sure and get the new clip so I will probably wait until I know. Does anyone know if any of the other HDS dealers...

    HDS Basic or Ultimate 42?

    Well I think I am going to go for the basic. Seems to fit my needs and it will save me a little bit of money. Now I just have to decided where to purchase from. I was going to order from batterystation for the 10 free batteries, but I just found out that HDS now ships their lights with the new...

    HDS Basic or Ultimate 42?

    Ty I like what you said about using the money you saved to purchase rechargeables and a holster. The more I think about it the better that idea sounds. Im still gonna think about it some more over the next few days before I order one though. Dan

    HDS Basic or Ultimate 42?

    Thanks for the input so far. I guess maybe a more specific question I have is whether or not you consider the 10 lumen "primary" setting to be bright enough for most uses or not. That is probably my biggest concern with the basic, that the primary setting may not be high enough and that I would...

    HDS Basic or Ultimate 42?

    I know this question has been asked before, and I have read all of the old threads but I just cant make up my mind. Right now I am leaning towards the Basic, as I do not think that I would use the button lock, tactical mode, auto off or any of that. Really the main features that I would use if I...

    ARC P AAA vs. PEAK Matterhorn AAA 3LED Ultra ???

    Re: ARC P AAA vs. PEAK Matterhorn AAA 3LED Ultra I agree. While I understand what TIN is trying to say, he went about it in an inappropriate manner IMHO. The searches are far from perfect and it is easy to miss something. I'll chime in and say that my new 3 led hi power matterhorn is a...
