    looking for a beamy headlamp high lumens

    I would second the advice on the Fenix Hp-10. I use it for work when working under houses and in attic space when doing plumbing jobs. The beam is very tight with good throw and spill. For the price you will not be disappointed.

    LX2 uneven discharge on cr123 batteries

    So it is safe to assume that when your 2 cell cr123 light goes dim, the batteries may not be discharged to the same level and may still have use in another 1 cell light. That may or may not be the case when the batteries are closely matched. Always good to check batteries before disposal! :thumbsup:

    LX2 uneven discharge on cr123 batteries

    I recently bought a LX2 and went thru my first set of batteries. The light was strobing and the light would dim when turned on. I used Surefire brand batteries to replace the original ones. I don't have a battery tester yet, but I recently put the used batteries in a single cr123 light to see...

    javelin and solarforce R2 drop in problem

    I recently bought a javelin and a Solarforce R2 drop in and have had the light flickering on and off sometimes. I was wondering if the contact points on the drop-in in the head may be the problem or loose batteries also? The Dereelight XPG R5 module that came with the light works great. Thanks...

    can a damaged led still work?

    Thanks John, I believe you are right it is a Q5 emitter. When I look at it with the light not turned on, the led has a dark amber color to it. In another thread someone talked about the same thing and said that the led was damaged by heat. Right now it has the brightness of a night light so I...

    can a damaged led still work?

    I did a search and found out why the light is so yellow. I probably cooked the led by using turbo all the time for long periods. Can another head fit on the l2d?

    can a damaged led still work?

    I have a Fenix L2d with a cree r5 and it just does'nt seem that bright any more. This was my first LED light over a year ago and now that I have other brighter lights, this one seems very dim. The hot spot is yellow and the turbo mode should be 180 lumens but does not even look like 80. Could...

    broke my lx2 pocket clip

    I have only had my lx2 for about a month now and the clip just broke today. I have worn it everyday since I bought it and broke it when I was adjusting it in my pocket. Is this something that is under warrenty? If not then where do I buy one? Should I just get a holster instead and carry it on...

    Is Life Worth Living?

    No doubt that we are living in some exciting and uncertain times. I believe that the history of the World as we know it is written from beginning to end in the Bible. In it, you can find examples of people who had great success and terrible failures in every area of life. There is no other book...

    what $ amount WAS "too much?"

    I was wondering, when you started your flashaholic addiction what was the $ amount that a light sold for that you thought was "way too much." And now, you have passed that mark by many $ and have no second thoughts about that $ amount that used to make you shake your head. So, what was the...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Crawled under a house with my Nitecore SR3 to inspect and cap 1/2" copper water lines. Looked in an attic to see the space for rerouting new water lines to bath and kitchen fixtures.:)

    new member new lights

    Hi I just became a member after reading all the interesting information regarding flashlights. I recently bought a Nitecore SR3 and a Fenix HP10 from 4Sevens. I like the SR3 that I use for work to light up the darkness under houses and attics and stuff like that. I am waiting on the HP10 to use...
