    Jetbeam RRT01 2020 - Now it has a clicky!

    Thanks for the photo and explanation. I think I will put a small piece of tape over the hole - one less path for grit to enter. It was fun changing the light output by waving a neo magnet around the body of the light!

    Jetbeam RRT01 2020 - Now it has a clicky!

    I just got this light and am loving the ability to control the output down to having to squint in a dark room to see any light come out of it, while holding it directly in front of my eyes. I noticed a small oval shaped hole in the ring. I assume that's a grease port, but shouldn't it be...

    Quick review of JETBeam IIM Tactical Flashlight - CREE XP-L HI LED - 1100 Lumens

    These are being offered at a great price by Battery Junction for their Black Friday sale. I found very little to no information on it so here are my initial impressions of the light. The tailcap lockout feature is pretty cool - it is much more than simply unscrewing the tailcap to break the...

    Which charger, Klarus CH4s or Nitecore SC4?

    Does anyone know if either of these will (accurately) display a battery's capacity as a numerical figure instead of just a bar graph? Or is that not even possible to do without running the cell through a discharge cycle? I have a Xtar VP2 that has performed well but now I'm looking to get a...

    Surefire UM2 price lowered to $150 shipped

    ... advertising link removed ... I've been on the fence about getting this light when it was at $200 for a while, but now I'm powerless to resist. There's about 380 units remaining. 600 lumens may be a bit outdated, but if it's as bright as my 600 lumen SF X300 I'll be pretty happy.

    Nitecore SRT6 battery options

    I did send an email to Nitecore and they seemed willing to help, but it was just easier and quicker for me just to return the light and exchange it for another. On my third one now, and I have not dared to squeak every last bit of performance out of it. I decided after my second one that I...

    Nitecore SRT7 Revenger, is it worth it?

    Thanks for sharing your experience, Pharmbob. With the water pressure-induced button pushing, it's a good thing the control ring is there to put the light on standby. I guess you'd want to make sure the light was not turned on (or in standby) before getting too deep, otherwise you may not be...

    Nitecore SRT7 Revenger, is it worth it?

    Pharmbob, that is pretty amazing considering it is not rated as a diving light. Did the pressure cause the button to be clicked on or off at all? Approximately how much time would you say the SRT7 has spent at that depth? How useful is the light under water in terms of tint, beam pattern or...

    Nitecore SRT7 Revenger, is it worth it?

    For the reasons you cited, I think you would enjoy the Nitecore. You will definitely notice the increased output and throw of the SRT7 in the woods. The adjustment ring is just awesome for getting the perfect amount of light - both during and before you turn on the light. I paid $70 for the...

    Fenix TK61

    I think so, if I'm understanding your question correctly. I have both the TK75 and TK61, and what I know is that I can remove the body from one, and attach it (along with the battery carrier) to the other. You have to ditch the tailcap on one of the tubes to make it work. I don't have enough...

    Corvette Stingray Deposit Sale

    Yes, good point on checking insurance premiums, charlie. That could be quite expensive. It sounds like Vinh has this purchase pretty well figured out though.

    Corvette Stingray Deposit Sale

    If you are certain you will never upgrade to an aftermarket coilover suspension, I would get the MRC option.

    Eagletac S200C2vn (XP-G2, 1x18650/2xCR123A) Dedome Modded Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIME+

    Another awesome review. Thanks, SB. Waiting for your reviews of vn54 flashlights (the two so far) has caused me to be more restless than with any other flashlight review.

    WTS: S200C2vn - Baby Throw King 122K Lux - 690 OTF Lumen

    I definitely noticed that the head turns more smoothly with an AW flattop 3100 than with a Keeppower 2900 button top.
