    Newbie Charger Questions

    Just purchased this Uniross charger (model UO148542). It’s my first charger, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m surprised at the lack of sophistication, regarding monitoring/regulating the charging. Maybe some sort of gauge to show charging progress? Nope. Or auto cut-off as soon as any one...

    Two Rear LED Bike Lights - A joint CPF Review

    Can you run these on lithiums? As I understand it, if a torch is regulated - it can, otherwise, no.

    Which front light?

    I’m dusting down my Hybrid/Shopper/City bike, to do some fitness training. Plan on sessions after work (6pm–7.30pm), so until the clocks go back, and we gain an extra hour’s daylight, I’ll be needing lighting for the next 7 weeks. All the mileage will be on quiet, unlit country lanes. I’ve...

    Modding PT Corona to 4.8v rechargables

    Sorry I’ve not replied earlier. I do appreciate both your replies. My reasoning for the mod was because the Corona was seriously eating Alkalines. However, I’ve since discovered it lasts 10 times longer on Lithiums, which makes it far more economic. Here are my sums: £1.25 - £1.50 for 3 x...

    Nuwai HLX-032L "3 Watt" Luxeon III Headlamp

    Re: Nuwai HLX-032L \"3 Watt\" Luxeon III Headlamp I had a chance to buy that 3W from Advancemart, last year, but 90 mins at 100% on 123’s was going to work out expensive. Good to hear you’re pleased with it. Couple of pics here: http://advancedmart.com/3WhwalampF.jpg...

    Modding PT Corona to 4.8v rechargables

    I posted this query in the batteries forum, but despite two bumps, I received no replies so I thought I’d try here. I’ve got a Princeton Tec Corona, that uses 3 x standard AA’s = 4.5v. Princeton Tec state that it’s okay to use lithium AA’s, if you wish. I’ve discovered lithiums can run at a...

    Modding head-torch to 4.8v rechargables HELP PLS!!

    I’ve got a Princeton Tec Corona head-torch, that uses 3 x standard AA’s = 4.5v. Princeton Tec state that it’s okay to use lithium AA’s, if you wish. I’ve discovered lithiums can run at a fractionally higher voltage, say 1.6v – 1.7v? So using 3 AA’s lithiums should equal 4.8v – 5.1v. The idea I...

    UK Police reflective material

    Thanks Double A, but I've only seen those retailers selling the usual fluorescent yellow reflective (by 3M etc.). I'm curious about the Police silver/grey version, which I'm sure, out-performs the usual retailed stuff.

    UK Police reflective material

    I’m not sure if this is the correct forum... What is the silver/grey reflective material that UK Police use on their clothing? Reflects as a bright white light. Very impressive. I’m looking for ankle/wrist bands and a Sam-Browne style belt, with this reflective. I was wondering if these...
