    NEW MecArmy PT16 3 X CREE XP-G2 single 16340 flashlight 1000 lumens

    Got mine from GG a couple of days ago. It is the V2. The 16340 included has a sleeve, to keep it from rattling? Anyway, take the sleeve out and all my 18xx batteries fit. I don't have an 18350 to try for length but the ID has plenty of clearance. Must have changed this on the V2 along with...

    S1 Baton COPPER

    Got my s1 copper raw today. Tiny heavy light. The battery goes in backwards. + toward tailcap. I am a warm white guy but I got the cw version as it was the only one available. The color is a little different than my other cw lights. Not warm but not quite as bright white. Could be the...

    *new* Olight S1 - XM-L2, (R)CR123

    I have a S10L2nw. I like the light but..... Compared to the ZL SC32nw, the S10 has a definite greenish tint while the SC32 is much warmer and no green. I use the S10 at night to get around in the house because I like it's UI better for this purpose than the SC32. When I EDC it's the SC32 and...

    Re: *new* Olight S11(R) - XM-L2, (R)CR123 When / if they release a nw version I may bite. Just hope they have taken care of the tint issue like ZL has.

    Thanks SB for another outstanding review. All my big lights are now outdated. They are 2-3 yrs. old. Technology keeps going.

    Zebralight SC5 (1xAA, XM-L2) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Oops! In my previous post I declared the sc32 the winner. I was wrong. The SC5 is still going, very dim, but going. I lost the track of time but it has been going for about 150 minutes and still going. The 32 does have more useable light for the longest period of time but the 5 is clearly...

    Zebralight SC5 (1xAA, XM-L2) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    I did a very unscientific test on my Zebra Lights. I wanted to see which one would last the longest before shutting down completely. I started all on H1 on hot of the charger batteries and let them go. Here are the results: SC5w Eneloop Pro 73 min SC52cw Nitecore 14500 86...

    Zebralight SC5 and SC5w First Impressions

    History will tell if the 14500 is extinct. The SC5 on an Elenloop Pro is one amazing light as well as the SC52 on a 14500. IMHO I believe they are for different purposes.

    Zebralight SC5 (1xAA, XM-L2) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    I to like the sc52 over the sc5 as an edc. Once I got the sc5 I tried to edc it for a few days and went back to the sc52. Then I got the sc32. The sc32 is my edc and the 52 & 5 just sit around. As amazing as the sc5 is the sc32 is just as amazing and tiny. Even smaller than my s10 l2 which...

    Zebralight SC5 (1xAA, XM-L2) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    One additional comment I for got to include in my previous post. Where the clip contacts the body is not dished out like the sc52 and sc32. This makes the clip on the sc5 a little harder to use and harder on the clothes. I carried the sc52 clipped to my front pocket on the inside and tried...
