    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    Capolini, I have no doubt of the superiority of the TK75 compared to BST, hence it's my next purchase. I found out that the XM-L2 is a better led compared to XM-L U2 through my Nitecore EA4 that I got from Illumination Supply and compared it to a "stock" EA4. All in all, it is more efficient and...

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    I am actually a Greek living in Greece. Great that you are getting the new TK-75 and we will have the opportunity to see a comparison between the new and the "old". I don't expect the TK-75 to beat the Blackshadow Terminator in raw output to be honest, especially the XML-U3 version that I...

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    I see the TK75 with its extensions and my stock of 18650s as a tool with huge run time, flood and throw. I also see a lot of fun in getting one with at least 2 extensions although I know they are not needed unless Doom Day arrives (heck 3 would be needed then LOL!). Honestly though, I have to...

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    LoL Capolini I am also relatively new to flashlights and damn it is addictive. In 9 months about 20 lights (including bike lights) and lots of batteries (over 100 rechargeables) as well as chargers in the likes of MAHA C9000, iCharger 106b and an XSTAR. Battery wise I am full of 18650s so...

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    Well also considering the great thermal characteristics of the TK75 it is easy. I have both Panasonic 3400s, LG Pinks 4.35v (with hobby charger), AWs and I am also waiting on some Sanyo cells to test. Maybe you are right about the third extension it is too much but it would look so huge it will...

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    Well I haven't bought a Fenix yet and was thinking about the TK75 so somehow I was lucky that I delayed! I was thinking of a FF4 next but since this is much more versatile I will postpone it and the TK75 with at least one extension (or 2 :D) will be my next purchase!

    Fenix TK75 vs. RC40

    Fenix seems to have updated the TK75 and the new one puts out 2900 Lumens with XM-L2 http://www.fenixlight.com/ProductMore.aspx?id=92&tid=8&cid=1#

    How many is enough?

    I just started 4 months ago and I already own about 15 lights and over 100 rechargeable batteries. They are not surefires of course (best are Blackshadow Terminator, 3 Nitecores) but I find fun in getting them for several uses. I also equipped the kids (6 and 2 years old) with cheap ones (NiMH)...

    Need Headlamp Advice

    Hehe you are right, I am new to flashlights (4 months in the hobby) but not new to LiPos. I actually have about 15 Flashlights already ranging from Blackshadow Terminator (lol that was my first) to the EA4, EA1, EC1, Tank 009 , Trustfires and Ultrafires. Yet. I also have bike lights with...

    Need Headlamp Advice

    Thanks petr9999! I had not paid attention to neither the Armytek nor the Zebralights to be hones and damn they are beasts of performance not to mention they have NW versions. I think I will go for the Armytek (W) and try mounting it on the chest as well.

    Need Headlamp Advice

    It is not wasted time. For example I am also looking at a Headlamp and although at the beginning I was carried away with the High-Lumens chinese ones after studying and reading threads like that I decided to go for a Fenix HP25, HP11 or another quality light. What I am trying to figure out is...

    Tech Tricks: Homemade Balance Charging Cradles.

    I know this is a thread resurrection but I have wasted so much time looking for a ready made "perfect" cradle that would accept all types of LiPo cells for charging that I honestly fed up. The easiest most convenient method up to now is LuxLuthor's method but I am not good with soldering and...

    Question about flashlight value

    Well JCD, it would indeed be great if there was an auto focus mechanism working through sensors but I don't think it could be cheap. Regarding the exposure light, you have to consider that it is targeted to Mountain rides and not straight street riding. Those riders want both throw and flood...

    Question about flashlight value

    Certainly, when one wants to get into DIY, yet gain serious flexibility as you say with P60 hosts. I was just talking about convenience and out of the box solutions. For example there is Exposure a bike light manufacturer that allows full programability through a PC of the light depending on the...
