    "Pre-Release" Lights Discussion

    Re: Prime / Prime Pro. Every Day Carry Lights. HI Woods Walker, this might sound like a blow prom the past, but due to recent issues still of importance to me: I had some problems with a non-pro where every time I used Li-O and had the flashlight on for a while, the PCB kicked in. Now, that is...

    problems with Armytek Tiara A1 Pro

    Thanks Chad, for a quick reply. I do have two boost modes, but only two firefly modes?! Strange. Thanks for the info with the non-existing features, this was from the manual in the pack, what a weird marketing strategy... I did confirm primary also in the first place, but let me do it twice...

    problems with Armytek Tiara A1 Pro

    Hi there, anyone out there having trouble with Armytek electronics, too? My A1 Pro (setting 1 for AA power) is only running as described in the manual when using 14500 cells (as they are protected I did not change the power setting to 2 and left it with AA). That means: cycling through all...

    "Pre-Release" Lights Discussion

    Re: Prime / Prime Pro. Every Day Carry Lights. Again, you are completely right. Armytek, though, says I could run unprotected ones in the standard model, what to my knowledge is a risky statement, having read quite a few posts on the Tiara. Anyhow, I will try ignore the shitty marketing...

    "Pre-Release" Lights Discussion

    Re: Prime / Prime Pro. Every Day Carry Lights. Hello, with my tiny post count and my newbie-knowledge I might not be the right to judge, but even after 14 days of flashaholic-infection and trying to circle down on a Tiara A1 I felt that most of the posts I read in this thread made me...

    Thanks, m4a1usr, for the thoughts. I have managed to open it, any clue what sort of SMD I should use to put in - and do I need a separate driver? Thanks! peter

    Petzl Tikka Gen. 1 - throw away or mod?

    Hello, thanks for the info, I have been successful opening the housing - with a little force I have to admit as I could not be bothered on such a crappy made lamp. Just for the forum documentation: you need most importantly lever the black plastic part opposite the longer hook (that sticks out)...

    Petzl Tikka Gen. 1 - throw away or mod?

    Hello, I have an old Tikka 1st generation lying around and wonder if it would be worth soldering some stronger led´s in or just chuck it into the bin as I might waste my time with something not worthy of modding. the problem is also, that I have no clue how to get to the circuit board from the...
