    Zebralight H600w vs. Spark nw-460

    I'm lookingfor a headlamp. Currently I have ZebralightH31w which is nicebut does have couple of shortcomings. The runtime with RCR123 isreally short and I would like a beam to throw little further. I've seen Fenix HP11, I believe it was Q5 version and I liked a lot how great throw it had. I...

    Solarforce MPP-1. Not the brightest one out there but still puts around 35K lux with 1x18650 and is under 60$.

    For a Mechanic

    +1 for getting rechargeable batteries for your current light. You can invest 1x17670 but there HAVE been some issues with those fitting to 6PX. You might have to remove the label of batteries or worst case scenario the battery won't fit at all. I have used 2xRCR123 with Surefire G2X Pro (same...

    New to the Flashlight world LOL Trying to find a flash light.

    If you're working under the cars I would recommend to get a headlamp. Get both your hands free when working. And +1 that you need a floodlight. Check Zebralight H600W it is about the same as SC600W but with headstrap. I have Surefire G2X Pro and yes, it has Surefire guarantee if you're in the...

    Too much choice, need advice.

    I would forget unprotected 18650's. When using unprotected li-ion batteries you rely on flashlight's circuit board not to over discharge the battery. When charging batteries you rely on your charger not to overcharge the battery. Potential risks using unprotected batteries are risk of fire when...

    Solar Force vs SureFire hosts?

    These Surefire vs XXX threads tend to be short-lived but.... my 2cents With Surefire you get better quality host but you pay for what you get. Surefire has great guarantee where Solarforce has no guarantee. But with price of one Surefire you can get a box of Solarforce hosts. Since you are...

    Looking for a great thrower.

    Dereelight DBS will match to each of your preferences. You can choose neutral or warm XML or neutral XP-E. I would opt DBS with Nailbender drop-in. XR-E if you want max throw or XML if you want max output. Nailbender offers warm and neutral tints for both leds. If you are looking for throw the...

    Recommendation for rechargeable flashlight for rural/ranch?

    This goes over your budget but Sunwayman V60C plus charging cradle. 728 lumens XML so quite wide beam, variable brightness, uses 3x18650s BUT you can buy cradle charger for light. Other than that I think cheap HIDs are your best bet.

    Had a pretty bad experience, need more power!

    Somebody really wants to find a reason for purchasing new light... :-D So situation was that you have 3 flashlights, car headlights and about 5meters distance where you thought that you dropped stuff? No lumens will save you from that. So what you want? A light that will look bright in the car...

    18650 with reverse clickie - 3 mode

    Number of modes depends from drop-in. The way to switch between modes depends from the switch. You can buy L2P with reverse or forward clicky. Since L2P is so called P60 host all Solarforce parts are interchangeable. As well Surefire 6P parts.

    18650 with reverse clickie - 3 mode

    If you want max lumens with budget of 100$ go with L2P host and Nailbender 3-mode XML drop-in. The Solarforce XMLs are not bad but they are not 820 lumens. With Nailbender you get better quality and more power, if I remember correctly Nailbender states his XML drop-ins 650 OTF lumens measured in...
