    The Official Zebralight Thread .

    Yes, what DD said. A 20 second search finds evidence that in 2005, people were certainly complaining about LED color http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?92415-What-s-the-benefit-of-incandescent-over-LED. Its obvious from the snark in that thread that it was an old debate in...

    Sold/Expired Princeton Tec Corona

    Man, $50 and 1 lb for claimed 90 lumens for 70 hours--seems heavy to me. You might be able to slightly modify and use a headstrap from many headlamps if that's what you need, like http://www.zebralight.com/Black-silicone-holder-and-headband-with-removable-top-strap-for-H600-and-H60x_p_116.html...

    What was your prep for today?

    One of the many reasons to travel, and not just to the richest 30 countries on earth, but the other 160...one learns quickly that in most places on earth, t.p. isn't a right, it's a privilege. And, one quickly learns why it is so impolite in most places on earth to pick up food or reach towards...

    Charger Recs - March 2020

    Using a DMM is easy--just don't do this on a metal table! That's a Li-ion cell that I used a few times in my EDC light today, so it's down off of it's "full" 4.2v, but a long way from "empty" 2.8.

    Charger Recs - March 2020

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. To determine state of charge, I exclusively use a volt meter, because resting voltage is a roughly-accurate surrogate for state of charge. For alkaline round cells, the highest you'll get is around 1.6 V on a new cell; they are pretty close to empty at...

    Coronavirus

    For a few days in a row, my bike rides have been through a Mayberry-like series of neighborhoods and parks with 10x the numbers of people that I normally see. Parents are out with kids, kids are playing with siblings and other kids in non-organized groups, and in general people look relieved...

    Charger Recs - March 2020

    Search, sort, and read trustworthy tests/reviews, a ton of work by cpf member hjk: https://lygte-info.dk/info/roundCellChargerIndex%20UK.html What I use when I want to "shed ounces": https://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20Charger%20Folomov%20A1%20UK.html or...

    ACEBEAM X80 UVC 275nm LED

    Re: ACEBEAM X80 (UVC 3535 275nm LED) for antivirus, protect you from virus!! How embarrassing for Acebeam. Whoever at the company had the terrible judgement and taste to post "protect you from virus" (double exclamation points omitted) for a flashlight will hopefully soon be fired in...

    Lightweight 21700 Powered Headlamps?

    Good quality 18650's charge in just under an hour, and good quality 21700's in just over an hour for me--not a deciding factor when I choose a light: https://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20Charger%20Xtar%20Over%204%20Slim%20UK.html Weight, on the other hand, is--why I'd be willing to try a ZL...

    Sky Lumen Nguyen Pre-Order & Serial Reserve

    I still want a full set of red/white/ice-blue (whatever "full" ends up being), and would be happy to see a way to order the tailcap and trits at the skylumen store rather than by google docs.

    Pocketable Thrower w/ Minimal Spill?

    In very, very general terms, for single-LED reflector lights, the bigger the physical size of the LED, and the smaller the reflector, the more spill. Some LED are particularly small, and/or good at putting more of their light straight ahead. Since the OP didn't indicate a budget or prefered...

    P60vn Light Engines

    I was having a devil of a time with one of my P60vn's, getting it to change from one mode group to another. I adjusted the thermal regulation temp, and then couldn't get it to change to a different mode group. It took me 30 minutes before I tried toggling the programming lock (10-11-10)...

    Recommend me a AA/14500 or small 18650 flashlight for EDC

    Congrats on the PD25, nice deal inclu. the battery. If you ever want to play with 18650 for higher turbo lumens and a cell that has almost 5x the Wh as the 16340, at around the same price there are a couple of lights about the same length, slightly larger diameter (22mm vs 28mm). For about the...
