    Best rechargable headlamp?

    Originally I was hoping for a basic out of the box solution as charger and spares is just more stuff to carry and keep track of but you have a good idea. I have a Zebralight headlamp around somewhere so now I just have to get the rechargeable batteries.

    Best rechargable headlamp?

    I'm little sick of changing batteries on my headlamps. Sick because most of them don't have a lockout feature (or it is crap) and they ride in different parts of my gear and get turned on by accident. Sometimes I use a headlamp on every job and sometimes it just rides for weeks so discovering...

    Has anyone done a review for the Petzl Strix yet?

    I have one and here's my lowdown. Pros: Decent lockout system. You have to pull out the selector switch out in order to turn the light on. Life saver for me who finds a lot of dead lamps in my gear. Still not 100% proof but works better than others. Easy to use with gloved hands. AA...

    Is there anything better or the same in specs but cheaper than SF EB1?

    Thank you gents for your input. I saw that after being out of flashlight community for a while I missed quite a great deal of manufactures pumping out great lights for great prices. Lights I'm considering and reading reviews are: Sunwayman M11R U2 Nitecore MT1C and EC1 Fenix PD20/22 Thanks...

    Is there anything better or the same in specs but cheaper than SF EB1?

    I really don't know. I owned a e1l for a long time and about 2 years ago upgraded to e1b. I never cared for pattern or color or more accurate statement would be that I never noticed it. My thing is size and simplicity of use. I used to own arc4 that needed programing etc etc and that was a deal...

    Just for basic EDC. Whatever specs of EB1 are they were more than enough for me over last few years...

    Is there anything better or the same in specs but cheaper than SF EB1?

    Is there anything better than Surefire EB1 straight out of a box? Street price for SF is between $130-150 new and that gets you dual output with max of 200 lumens. And that basically what I'm looking for: dual output, small (1 cr123) and bright but cheaper than SF. Any ideas?

    foxfury lights - ramblings

    I recently had a chance to purchase few Foxfury Scout lights. I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. I didn't know what to expect as I never heard about the company but they seem to have a decent presence in the firefighting/ems/sar world (or so they make it seem). Their lights are on the...

    Pelican 9410

    If you are in the market for a solid lantern/spotlight/area light get yourself this light. I was sick and tired of hauling issued Streamlight (althou love their other lights) because of the weight so I ended doing a bit of a looking and found the Pelican. Light is smaller in comparison to other...

    ANy other options than SF E1B backup?

    I've been using E1L for years and love it but want something new. Natural way would be E1B since I'm used to SF from my other lights. But everytime I'm about to buy a new light I wonder if there is anything better and cheaper out there. I know that used E1B are running around $110 so that's my...

    Surefire M951 and M961 mod question

    I've been using old style m951 and m961 lights on my AR and was looking for upgrade. Don't want to buy another light but would love just fix it up with new LEDs. There are few threads put here but nobody mentions specific parts just brand names and that's where it gets confusing. One of the few...

    Best Lights For A Firefighter

    Streamlight C4 LED for your bunker gear. Awesome light. The end. Don't get the Knucklehead since even thou it is a great light in theory, in practice it sucks due to its size.
