    Old Petzl Zoom

    Or you could remove all the bulb innards, buy one of the DealExtreme surefire clone drop-in modules for around $8-10 and hardwire it together with a on/off switch in the head, and foam the open voids. Quite a few of the DE units accept a wide range of voltages which, if you add an extra...

    Calling all Torontonians: Silicone grease for lights in Toronto?

    As DFred mentioned - any SCUBA shop should have stock. I've been using my scuba grease more for flashlights than scuba! A tad more expensive than normal grease though.

    Any EDCable headlights?

    Or you can go back to basics and use the original MiniMag type headband strap with the side loop and fit the EDC of your choice. A Fenix PiD fits comfortably in the loop, . A loop takes no space, so you can velcro it over your belt, around your wrist (a few times), your pocket...

    Best Illumination for Running - Accident Avoidance

    Jeremy Try the reflective cross-over belts used at construction sites. Not the vest type, the belt. Gives you a cross in front & back, and a ring around the waist. It allows wearing your other layers (winter) underneath, and is acceptably cool for summer evenings. For lights try the Glo-Toob...

    the best headlamp for jogging?

    Try a PT Matrix 2. Unless you have eyes like a cat, a smaller handheld works better. Headlamp puts the light in the same plane as your eyes. You can therefore not easily see differences in the running surface. Small handheld, and you can maintain almost daylight type pace - unless terrain is...

    Looking for an LED diving light

    If you just want to see your instruments, any of the 1W and up lights from Princeton Tec or UK will do. If you are looking for penetration/reach, nothing really available. There incandescent/HID still rules.

    Need help bending copper pipe

    Lux You could also try the bismuth-type low melting point metal available from (for instance) Small Parts Inc. Two types - most expensive type melts at around 40 degrees C, so you can use boiling/hot water. Fill up the pipes, bend, put in hot water to remove. Have used it to bend some s/s...

    Headlamp for ORIENTEERING

    Commander Doing the same over here! Try a Princeton Tec Matrix, old 3-module low intensity LED (or any other brand) on the head. Other lights are blinding on the map. Then use a nice wide angle 1-3W LED in your hand for the running (just add a wrist strap). That is now for the expert...

    Mountain Bike Lights

    Tom See a similar thread in "General Light Discussion" - Best Bike lights. In short: If you want LIGHT - go HID, if the terrain is such that you are forced to go very slow - uphill etc, LED 3W+ will work. I have both - a 10W NiteRider HID and a 3W LED headlamp/bikelight. Both can use the same...

    Looking for the Best Bike Light

    I use a older NiteRider version, the 10W Storm. 4 hours straight, no add hype. A mite expensive though and for AR you'd require at least 2 more batteries and the in-vehicle charger for your crew to recharge (assuming multi-day races). The Cyclone is supposed to give you 6 hours, so you might...

    BLT LED bike lights

    Anybody used or seen the BLT high end LED bike lights? (www.blt-lights.com) They claim a light equivalent to 50W with a 12W LED system, 13.2V 4.5Ah NiMH. 6 hour runtime @full power. Sounds to good to be true. If that is the case, maybe I should retire my "small" 10W HID...
