    Black Diamond Apollo Pictures

    I'm tempted to grab an Apollo and outfit it with a neutral XM-L - I've noticed the Apollos on sale in a few places, and I also noticed that neutral XM-Ls are available at LEDgroupbuy.com. Any thoughts about this? Also: any advice for a first-timer at modding his own lights? I've been bitten by...

    The Fenix HP11 - a Review in Four Parts

    Just wanted to add that the Surefire FM34 diffuser which Therrin showed in Post #49 is now discontinued. I manage to get one on the cheap, and it's an awesome diffuser - sad to see it go. If you need a bomb-proof diffusion solution and you're lucky, you might find a dealer selling it for $40...

    You may want to check out Mountain Bike Review's Bike Lights Shootout: http://reviews.mtbr.com/2012-bike-lights-shootout I've read somewhere that for mountain biking, you need an absolute minimum of 400 lumens (in total, combined) from both handlebars and head (i.e.200 from bike mount, and...

    PT Remix or Remix Pro?

    My wife has the older 45-lumen version of the Remix that she still uses for camping/hiking. While we haven't experienced any battery door breakage issues (knock on wood), one issue that we've had is that the Remix is actually fairly easy to turn on by accident when tossed into a pack. I...

    Headlamp for Africa/Kilimanjaro Climb

    My wife and I did some similar high-altitude trekking almost 5 years ago, but we went to the base camp of Mt. Everest. We carried our basic headlamps - Petzl Tikka in her case and a PT Apex (first gen) in mine - with no issues. From friends that have done the Kili trip, you really don't need...

    New Black Diamond Icon 2012?

    Hi, I've just come to the realization that there seems to be a new version of the Black Diamond Icon - seem to have upped their game quite a bit. Does anyone have any more info? Not quite for the ultralight crowd, but for cavers/multi-day expedition types, I think this is a significant...

    Thrunite Ti - Impressions and Discussion

    Hi there, I ordered up 2 Thrunite TI's from Craig, and received them about a week ago. I've just discovered my latent flashaholic genes in shopping around for a new headlamp, and the Thrunites were a most enjoyable way to start the addiction. Here's a beamshot from my crappy camera phone -...

    Bring me up-to-date on serious bike lights

    Hi there, Long story short, my wife and I got Cygolites for our night riding - the Mitycross 480 OSP and the Expilion 400 USB - and I definitely recommend them. Backgrounder: My wife and I live in Vancouver, BC, and we do both road riding and what passes for XC here (think tight, technical...
