    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    Yes I did. It's a little brass pill that you screw onto the body of the flashlight, and then plug in a micro USB cable. I used a charger from one of my old LG phones, it's that very common micro USB. I believe you could plug it into a computer if all you had was a cord, but haven't tried it yet...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    Just did an informal runtime test on level 1. After 4 and 1/2 hours I would guestimate it was still putting out 3 to 5 lumens, and amazingly the 2'nd level still worked.. The 2'nd level was considerably brighter and a wild *** guess would put it at 30 lumens, with the emphasis on really wild...

    Sorry for the weird glitchy edit on the last post. Not sure what happened between relogging in and cutting and pasting. Oh well stuff happens.

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    The Spy did arrive on Friday. I can't believe how small this is! All the pics i've seen and it still is smaller than I expected. This is awesome! It is easy to turn on with one hand, very easy to hold with the lips, don't even need teeth, and love the flood for what i use it for mostly, which is...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    Wow that is crazy. Is it due to the batteries? Or does it just look dangerous? I feel for you, and hope they get it to you somehow. I ordered some rechargeable 10120's or something like that, don't remember, along with the Spy and started thinking, are they dangerous cargo? What particular...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    Just got my first update, after thinking I'm going to escalate the paypal claim. It is sorted through the New York post office. I can't believe how long this is taking.

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    I ended up filing a Paypal dispute a couple days ago after not getting any E-mails from CNQ. They immediately responded with a tracking no. which I assume is the USPS. When I enter it into their tracking system the status comes back as "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". I check the status...

    Tmack, thats a spectacular looking upgrade! Crazy Eddy, thank you. I am a very impatient man and was about to file a dispute. I'll let it ride some more.

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    I'm thinking if the battery will last a month it shouldn't be too much hassle. I'll just stick in a fresh battery every 2 weeks, and if I forget for a week it will still be good. The A3 Eos lasted easily 3 months and I had plenty of time after that where it would come on low, but not high...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    So I ordered the DGQ Spy from CNQualitygoods.com and its been five days and I haven't recieved any E-mail from them. It was a paypal transaction and that went through in moments. The recipients name was in Chinese. Is it normal to not hear anything? I have tried to log into my account there but...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    OK, I ordered a DQG Spy, and the USB charger also from CNQualitygoods. Is Cottonpicker's charger better, or safer than that USB one they sell? I also ordered a couple spare batteries batteries, are they good quality and capacity? I figured for 2 bucks I'd try them, but if there is better I might...

    Looking to upgrade my necklace light.

    Looking to upgrade my Eos a3, that's hung on my neck for 1 1/2 years. I would actually like as small as possible light with at least 2, or 3 outputs, maybe 5 lumens and a high. My EOS comes on in low, which I prefer. Really don't want rechargeable, but would consider it. The perfect light in my...

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    I have had an ITP a3 on my necklace for over 1 1/2 years, 24 - 7, shower and bed, and it has held up great. Use it quite often, but not for long and a lot on low so the battery can last 3 months easy.. great light. Going to upgrade someday, is a Peak eiger lug as small? Does the Peak eiger...

    The NEW H502 "Wet Poll" - Is Your H502 Waterproof?

    My wife sent my 502D through the washer and dryer in my shorts pocket. It survived. When I opened the battery compartment it was dry inside and there was no sign of moisture in the len's area either, but its possible the dryer had something to do with that. That was about a month ago and so far...

    ZebraLight H502 XM-L

    Re: ZebraLight H502 X-ML A little off topic, but my H502 survived a trip through the washer and dryer in my shorts pocket. It looks and works fine. The tailcap was locked out at least a half turn. There was no moisture in the battery compartment or lens area, but again, it did go through the...
