    All my eneloop XX 2500 mAh batteries dropping like flies

    In March 2014 I purchased a pack of 8 new eneloop XXs (4HR‐3UWX) from "large online retailer" (before Panasonic rebranding). I have been using my Maha MH-C9000 to charge them at 1000ma for the past 16 months. I use all 8 batteries and then recharge them, so they are getting even wear. Within...

    Review: Zebralight H600

    I am very, very disappointed by the headband. I don't understand how ZL can produce such great headlamps with such terrible headbands. And I hate the NiteIze strap also, which is non elastic. My H31 bobs while I walk if I have the band set loose & comfortable (although its manageable) ... I...

    ZebraLight SC600

    Has anyone tried the Maxpedition 4" Flashlight Sheath (sku 1430) ? I like the idea of the elastic retainer.

    ZebraLight SC600

    Another option to the upgraded lanyard protrusion / loop thingy, would have been to simply make another removable clip with a loop that could be attached in the same way the existing removable belt clip can be attached.

    ZebraLight SC600

    Re: ZebraLight SC600 "upgrades" When you change something that everyone is happy with, you have to be pretty careful :D The few upgrades i would be interested in are (1) comes with holster (2) maybe a snap on diffusion filter (3) lanyard if the light can take one … especially for a light that...

    Battery tube machining imperfections destroying batteries

    I have a ZebraLight SC600 which has some machining imperfections inside the battery tube. There are two rings of sharp metal which are cutting through the outer sheath of my brand new AW2900s. I didn't notice this until recently, when I became suspicious that both of my AW2900s (which are...

    Zebralight SC80

    The preliminary specs are now available on the Zebralight website. "Oprating[sp] Voltage Range: 0.7V - 3.5V (14500s or 16340s are not supported)" Oh well, looks like I'll be picking up an SC31 instead I do wish Zebralight would give a H2 closer to the max. On the SC51, the two highest...

    She wants flood, not spot for the trail

    Bummer, this website expires sessions so quickly that I get logged out in the short amount of time I require just to type a response, and then it winds up losing the response in the process. I miss usenet. I use the floody handheld to illuminate trail from my feet to about 30-40 feet out, and...

    She wants flood, not spot for the trail

    Wrecked, I'm sorry your wife is still looking for a good trail running light system despite all the well intentioned advice. It took me quite a while to settle on something, years in fact. The lights changed often, but two things I learned: Headlamp: throw / spot for navigation (further down...

    Flashlight for running at night under $25?

    Hehe - ok, one of you guys are frugal, the other isn't. Might be time for marriage counseling :eek: The original budget was $25! But with the Quark AA($57), AA2($59), SC51($64), E21($38) and V10R($90) and Klarus ST20($62) we're looking at around $360. Your wife could have just gotten a Lupine...

    Flashlight for running at night under $25?

    All the races she is in let you have drop bags. All she has to do is make sure she has enough batteries to go from aid station to aid station. I would just use the light at the brightness necessary to go forward without getting lost and tripping over stuff, rather than fretting about making a...

    ZebraLight SC600

    My tint is greenish too. On the 500/750 settings its more yellow, but on lower settings its just green, no way around it. I have seen worse though. And i don't mean its green compared to my favorite XR-E WC 'pure white' - on the desert trail, it turns red clay into flat yellow/brown. I think...

    New Jetbeam products, RRT-15, RRT-21

    If they kept the existing reflector dimensions maybe ... but my M3 XM-L throws beautifully and its not that much bigger. I don't see why they could not make the reflector maybe another 7 mm wider.

    New Jetbeam products, RRT-15, RRT-21

    I'm hoping that JetBeam updates the RRT-1 with the XM-L and keeps the original styling. Maybe with a nice smooth reflector like my EagleTac M3 XM-L has.

    Flashlight for running at night under $25?

    I'm wondering how many folks run with their light in the 4seven finger loops. It seems pretty dangerous to fall on that hand if the light in the loops could torque your fingers. I always run with gloves on anyhow, so it would not work for me. I've had too many spills on the hard AZ soil which...
