    Olight M20S with XP-G S2 LED

    Just received my M20S with S2 from Going Gear. I now have a chance to evaluate the possible flicker from the PWM drive myself! I do not see any flicker under normal usage conditions. It is easy to see the flicker with fast movement both in a mirror and on the floor if you move the light...

    White Package from 4Sevens arrived!

    A few days ago I received my first “Modern” flashlights from 4Sevens. A Neutral White Regular 123^2 for myself and a Neutral White AA Mini for my wife. For my use the regular operation has been great including starting on moonlight. The “Dreaded” pre-flash on moonlight is there, but on my...

    Ra Clicky (HDS Systems EDC) - Part 11

    Is this the new UI? http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...9&postcount=28 Following the logic of these two statements: If the light had some "Volume Control" somewhere in the middle of the light either the overhand or underhand grip would allow movement with just the index finger and thumb...

    Fenix LD25, LD40 (link to pic thread)

    Those looking for more grip on the LDxx lights consider small strips of skateboard tape either on the high spots or in the grooves. There are also a number of various grip solutions for other sports equipment such as hockey stick tape, tennis racket tape, motocross grip tape sheets, various...

    Who's not buying another light till the XM-L?

    Manufacturers are still bringing out XP-E lights as new offerings (Sunwayman) and many XP-E designs have yet to be converted to XP-G's. Manufacturers seem to be slow to offer LOP reflectors on Cree lights and as many have said where are all of the neutral white or high CRI LED's. Highly...

    A Mans Flashlight

    +1 on the LD40..... If you make a couple of posts over on the Marketplace forum you will have access to the CPF discounts. This would bring the LD40 into your range.

    "Die Light"

    Frankly I was looking at the Micro Probe Halogen Inspection Light At: http://www.titantoolsupply.com/productDetail.asp?id=26968&md=d&mode=showDetail The intra lights seem to meet your needs and are far less expensive than the Halogen! In fact they look like what I described as a home built...

    "Die Light"

    Titan Tool has a light that meets your needs but is about $330 to $400. Maybe you should consider a 12 volt wall wart, a piece of soft copper tubing and an automobile parking light bulb. Much less than $50 and easy to build. Some heat shrink tubing, electrical tape, shop made wood or...

    "Die Light"

    Please look at the Zebralight headlamps. These can light up a large area even when you are close and the included headlamp band might be very useful for for your work. Look at the H31W and the H501W lights. While these are more expensive than your original request they are bright and use...

    Opinions: Olight M20 R5 Special Ops Edition

    JCalvert - Slight correction PWM flicker may be visible on lower two levels, not visible on high per Selfbuilt M30 review. If side button is used to trigger strobe from off and lower levels are not used a lot this light should still be good to go.

    Opinions: Olight M20 R5 Special Ops Edition

    PWM - A number of lights use PWM technology to provide different brightness levels. If the frequency is high enough you will not see flickering. The lower levels of the Olight M20S and M30 are not high enough for many users. EDC (Every Day Carry) vs Tactical Lights - This has been a difficult...

    Opinions: Olight M20 R5 Special Ops Edition

    I believe you are speaking about the M20 version that has the mode button on the tail. If so this light uses PWM brightness control vs the regular version's current control. The PWM frequency is within the visual range for some users who will see the flicker. I was very interested until I...

    M21 What a disappointment!

    If the hot spot of a light beam is twice the size it will have 4 times the area and the beam would have to be 4 times as powerful to deliver equal "Brightness" to each square measure of the hot spot. If you said the first hot spot was 1 unit, then 1 unit squared is 1. If the second hot spot...
