    Fenix TK35 2018 Ultimate Edition, Neutral LED or not?

    Fenix considers 5000K to be "neutral" when it is cool-white.

    Anything new in the world of D4S bulbs?

    Thanks, that Osram looks nice, if a bit pricey (two for $150 would be better) What is Philips thinking, pushing that CCT to 4800K...

    Anything new in the world of D4S bulbs?

    Anything improvements, besides that claimed 10 year Osram Ultra Life. Or has all development ceased? Thanks

    Are we to see the XP-L2 HI?

    I would imagine Cree will do a big brother to the XD16. Something like an XB-H high intensity, before an XP-L2 high intensity.

    Cool White vs Neutral white

    I wish that someone in the corrupt Chicago-land governments would have read about the differences between warm/neutral/cool white before they spent who knows how much on LED street lights. 5000k (and low CRI) has ruined everything. I think that a 4000K 80CRI would have been acceptable, if the...

    Article: the switch to outdoor LED lighting has completely backfired

    They changed the street lights, without any opinion sought from the public, to LED retrofit drop-ins. Cheapest & dumbest implementation: exposed LED array (two of them) so if you happen to look at it, very very high intensity. They didn't even bother to use some sort of diffuser. Now there is a...

    Fenix TK75 2018

    A bit disappointing. I would like quad xhp-50.2 powered by '21-70' with a nice turbo mode of 10,000 lumens. This is a nice-ish 2,500 lumes (after stepdown) with decent throw from the xhp-35 HI.

    New Products from Eagtac????

    I hope they are moving toward 21700 sized cells, with sleeves for 18650 (and thick sleeves for cr123A). Fenix has a new TK35UE 2018, and it doesn't use "21-70", their loss.

    Say hello to Lumintop Tool AA!

    If someone makes a 2x AA body, what would the output levels likely be? Somewhere in the neighborhood of: 300, 60, 8 lumens

    Review: Energizer Vision HD 2xAA Flashlight

    I wonder just how bad the 'regulation' will be. Maybe they could have done 150 lumens flat regulated (with three LEDs)

    NEW and PROTOTYPE Eagtac lights at SHOT Show 2017

    Well, it looks as if it is almost here. The DX30B-MR No xhp50.2, but the xhp35-HD or -HI, in flood & throw-your choice. I hope the circuit is smart enough to skip the 'turbo boost' period when you are using 2x cr123a. Attempting to draw ~12 watts from two cells, doesn't do anyone any favors, for...

    How Can Great Get Better? Fenix BC30R 2017 Edition LED Bike Light

    This looks great: neutral-white, 80CRI minimum, interface, etc. For the future products, can you relay to Fenix, that they should make a reflex bicycle headlight. Aim the LED downward into a reflector(s). They can control the distribution of light in the beam, and get a nice sharp cutoff. They...

    Review: Manker E11: EDC-light, XP-L, 800 lumens, AA/14500; (beam)shots, compare

    Manker's neutral-white [5300K or so] is actually cool-white. So it is very unlikely that they have shipped a product with an actual warm-white.

    10k LM led bulb specs, Worth it?

    The larger base would not be for heat. It would be for size, weight, and stability. The 300 watt equiv. yard lamp is large, this is huge.
