    ZebraLight's new 12-volt models require an **Unprotected Battery**

    Re: Does the low-voltage cutoff in this driver work when a flashlight is off? Everyone, thank you for a very enlightening and engaging discussion, so far.

    **__NEW__** Zebralight SC52 L2 & SC52w L2 !

    Marinemaster, thanks again!! If your CPF moniker is any indication of your activities/passions and their enjoyment, you certainly would be interested in "sealed" and "potted"! I'm basically a landlubber these days (wouldn't be using a light even if I were still surfing), doing a lot of...

    **__NEW__** Zebralight SC52 L2 & SC52w L2 !

    If you have a moment, please explain to me what those two terms - "sealed" and "potted" - mean, and how they affect function. Thanks!!

    Zebralight H600 MK II (Spot and Fill) vs H600F (Floody) vs H602 (no reflector) beams

    Great job, Stefano, especially with the slower animations!! This completely clarifies their output appearance and allows for an easy, accurate choice of models, based on one's needs and usual usage. This post of yours, #34, should be the go-to referral for any future questions regarding spill...

    Has your Fenix LD01 blown on a 10440 ?

    I received an LD01 today from a Fenix distributor. Though the box was torn and scotch-taped, and the plastic bag containing the spare parts and pocket clip obviously too crinkled to be never-before-opened, the light appeared unscathed (in other words, someone likely had returned this light to...

    Review: Fenix HP05 (Headlamp)

    Sandalian, Thank you for a very useful, hands-on (I should say ons-head), in-the-field review. In the Turbo mode, is there any kind of step-down, other than that due to normal battery drainage? In other words, can you get 350 lumens for an uninterrupted 2hr 35 min? Or, does it shift down to...

    Upcoming Fenix Headlamp HP-15

    This has the potential of being one heckuva light, as it appears to be the major upgrade on the HP11, which is an outstanding product. For me, a couple of important questions: 1) How stable and reliable is the extension cable and jack? 2) Does the Turbo mode of 500 lumens remain on...

    Cats Have Nine Lives - Topping Off Batteries ???

    Awhile back, I splurged and picked up several of the MAHA MH-C808M chargers for my NiMH collection and periodically run the cells through the conditioning cycle. That charger is top-shelf: years of hassle-free performance coming up. Good to know about how the Li-ion cells best function - I...

    Cats Have Nine Lives - Topping Off Batteries ???

    Anybody with a definitive answer (or reference) to a question that's been nagging at me for awhile: Does topping off a battery "count" as one of its finite recharges? Taken to the extreme, for example, if you were to let a NiMH sit for a couple of weeks without actually using it, then top off...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Knight Light, Thank you for your fascinating, ongoing posts. Couple of quick questions regarding the ArmyTek Wizard Pro: 1) Unless I overlooked this fact in the early parts of the thread, it seems the headlamp does not recall the battery type (protected vs. non-protected) when you...
