    Nitecore hc30

    Glad I was able to shed some light on the subject! :grin2: Thanks for your kind words of praise. Is your C8 one of the new clear annodized ones with the upgraded firmware and lighted tail switches? Been jonesing to get one of those, but I need another light about as much as I need another hole...

    Most reliable: Fenix, Nitecore, Olight, or other?

    I've several Nitecores (HC20, MT10A), a few Thrunites (TN20..) Olights (S1, S10RII), a few Xtars (H2, WK42), some Klarus, Convoys, etc.. Haven't really had much problems with any of them, but I'm careful not to drop them, use lanyards/leashes with quick disconnects, etc.. The Thrunites are well...

    Anyone else ever had this problem with an olight?

    I'd check the older posts. I seem to recall people having issues with Olights and removing the tail cap (simulating a battery change) resolving the issue. I don't recall if Olights have under-voltage protection, but if they do and since they support both rechargeable and primary batteries, I...

    Nitecore hc30

    I run unprotected cells in my HC30. Some work, some don't. My unprotected cells are all pulls from battery packs. The cells I currently have are either Sony or Moli. I've tested about 6 Sony SF US18650GR and all of them worked. I also tested 2 Moli FSPE.80043.1377 ICR-18650H and they didn't...

    Best IMR 14500 cell for Nitecore MT10A?

    Great post, very well written. Personally, I love my MT10A and find it back in my EDC rotation because of it's versatility. I think your post hit on most (if not all) of the reasons I purchased it. When I switched from 18650 lights to AA/14500 for EDC I purchased a lot of different lights to see...

    Hey Dazed1. Is this still active? If so, can you send me a PM? Interested in both. Thanks

    Your EDC Battery

    Short answer: Depends on the lights I'm carrying. I usually EDC an AA/14500 light (Nitecore MT10a or more recently Klarus Mi7) that I use to burn through "AA batteries of questionable capacity" which seem to multiply in my junk drawer. I like that both of these allow me to check battery levels...

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

    Thanks for the info! Hopefully it's to allow for the installation of a magnet? Another potential option is, if the head and tail are threaded identically, the body could be reversed, allowing head-up carry or use as an impromptu headlamp on a ball cap? Is the body reversible? Constant...

    Review: Manker E11 - AA/14500 XP-L

    Nice review. Thanks for sharing. Personally, I'm disappointed that the low mode with 14500 is as high as it is. I'm considering this vs. the Klarus Mi7. I like the extra non-blinky mode in the Manker and the pocket clip, but I also like the battery check, electronic lockout and modes of the...

    Olight S1 Baton Review

    Not sure if OLight made a change to their programming, but unlike the OP, my S1 (which I've had for 3-4 months) does not remember moonlight mode. To me, it's not a problem, since moonlight is accessible from the off position with a long press. Personally, I like the deep pocket clip in either...
