    Manker U11 and Nitecore MH20?

    My friend at work bought a soonfire light that is exactly the same as the MH20. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJJYZ78/?tag=cpf0b6-20 I can only guess that the Chinese factory making the Nitecores is selling these on the side. No customer service, no R&D, ect. makes them cheap.

    Triple S Cave in KY, illuminated with 21,000+ Lumens

    We brought a semi-pro photographer with us. He brought in a DSLR and some remote flashes and did some photography in the early part of the cave. I'm in the orange t-shirt and green gloves.

    Triple S Cave in KY, illuminated with 21,000+ Lumens

    Wow. I just did this cave again last weekend. Who knew there was someone else here who has been in that cave. I had my new Acebeam K60 with me and it was the brightest light in the cave that day. We had about 20 people with us. Dale

    Max throw from 1x18650?

    Is weight a consideration? I just ordered an MH20GT for my caving trip. It was the best weight/throw ratio I could find. 360 meters and under 90 grams. I plan to mount mine to my helmet to complement my Nitecore HC30 up front.

    Acebeam K60 (XHP70, 4x18650) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO +

    I ordered mine from Amazon and it didn't take the full month to get here. I got mine in less than 2 weeks. Not bad for coming from China.

    Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer SkyRC updated the product page yesterday. I'm not sure what's different, but the manual (V1.0) is back online. The PC software is still version 1.0.

    More interesting testing with apps. My LG G4 can't seem to do much monitoring, but it does connect in an odd way. I can end the charge cycle, but not much else. Just as an experiment, I loaded the app on my old Samsung S4 I have laying around it works fine. Hopefully the Android app gets...

    Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I got mine today and I can't get the Android app to work on my LG G4. The app installed fine, but won't connect to the charger. The PC Link won't work either, but I'm on Windows 10. I hope that gets fixed soon. The software installs and...

    Because the firmware can be updated, I didn't worry about being an early adopter.

    Mine arrived in MI today. I'm tracking it with USPS and I hope to have it next week. Indianapolis isn't that far.

    HKE charged my credit card already, I hope that's a good sign that they will be shipping soon.

    I tried to pre-order from HKE, but there is an issue with their payment selection. You can't select any type of payment. From the reports I've seen here, HKE is the better vendor than GB. I tried again using PayPal and it worked.
