    Petzl Tikka XP why so little exposure?

    Me too, struggled between getting the 5 stars rated EOS or the Tikka XP until I saw the TacTikka XP. Running with NiMH with the flood *RED light* option, I couldn't be happier (regulation perhaps?) IMO, regulation is great, but the spot/flood, colored filter options shouldn't be overlook when...

    Advice about Surefire L1

    My L1 on high is obviously brighter than a X5T...I would say two times more in lumen. On human eyes it may not appeared as twice as bright. The low setting with new batteries is 1/3 lower than an ArcAAA, IMO. It's a very useful little light since the low setting won't spoil your dark-adapted...

    some new chinese flashlight

    the emt-4 1W flashlight runs for <2hrs bright and then goes dimmer and dimmer for another couple of hrs. It is brighter than my two KL1 and even my L1...for less than $10 It's an inexpensive way for the general public to access the territory of LED, IMO. The main problem of the light is...

    Final debate between L1 and L4

    I strongly suggest the L1. A super bright 5W is tempting, but practically most campers don't have lights that's brighter than a L1...a mini-mag or something similar are considered very adequate. Besides the L1, I will also bring me a brighter incandescant(i.e. D3 Defender with high output lamp)

    E2D Beam... what an improvement!

    I had similar 'shadow' problem in my E2e bezel. Although it could hardly be seen except in a white wall test, it was quite annoying. So, I contacted Surefire several times explaining what's wrong with the beam and they sent me another bezel. Now, it is 'Surefire' quality!

    2D or 6D

    A 4D or a 6C would be lighter(length about equal). I would recommend 6C for it is lighter than a 4D while as bright as a 6D. It can also swing faster than a 6D... For smaller hands 6C definitely serves better as a club.

    Chinese LEDs

    Since I live in HK and tried those light. I can give you an idea about these inexpensive LED lights. They are useful and economical. But a 'three' LED light provide LESS light than an Arc AAA-P. The old saying is right - you get what you pay for. For a flashaholic, these flashlight are...

    Unimpressed with Surefire G2

    I found my 6P(P60 lamp) about equal in brightness with my 6C Maglite(new Magnum Star lamp) ...in a bathroom ceiling test - which means shining the flashlight beam towards the ceiling and see how well the room is lited, their lumens are very close. I like the extra reach of the tiny hotspot...
