    Streamlight Sidewinder Compact II Review

    Nine years later and still, quite possibly, the only AA capable headlamp out there with red (or green) color function. I have two of the Aviator model. I really hate AAA option, and not just that but triple AAA batteries required!

    A blast from the past: Whatever happened to your Fenix L1P?

    necropost: I was curious what the net might say about the L1P these days. I still have mine. I'm looking at it right now. Works great. Even after letting a regular alkaline leak inside of it and it having sat that way for who knows how many years lol. Inside it now is an Energizer lithium...

    Review: Streamlight Sidewinder Rescue (2xAA)

    2020 would like to point out :D that, yes, the double tap will make it flash. But then you hold the power button briefly and that puts it into true strobe mode.

    More durable, water resistant headlamp?

    I really like the Energizer 3-LED headlamp. Lightweight swivel head excellent white runtime and excellent red light runtime. But it's a bit fragile. Looking for something more durable and also water resistant that is otherwise just like the E-3-LED. Recommendations?

    Smallest headlamp?

    The SF is nice but it costs .............. well, you know. Given the goals for this request, the ones in the running so far are the Mammut S-Lite and the PT Scout and the Petzl e+lite, despite those two being button cell lights.

    Smallest headlamp?

    Smallest headlamp?

    New Rayovac LED industrial lights at Home Depot

    they had these at the entrance to Home Depot and I couldn't resist when I saw the power ratings: 100/15hr, 18/35hr and on AA batteries to boot! Pretty smooth light. About 15% larger than a Maglight 2AA then with the rubber overmolds it becomes about 25% larger overall in volume.
