Been ages since I’ve been on CPF except to check on new 18650 reviews - Vinh has covered all of my lighting needs along w my Zebra headlamps :)
I was gonna email Vinh directly but figured I’d post here n see if anyone knows where to purchase one of those super cheap compact single 18650...
Hmmmm
I’ve got an old Vanisledsm quad that Vinh modded to XPE2 ~4000K
The HiCRI SST20 might be pretty awesome in that set up.
The Van quad is aluminum and much lighter than The CQVN I have.
It’s set for max 4.2a output which is a sweet spot for the slightly inferior heat sinking of an...
Yah - I always end up loaning lights out to my friends on night rides or hikes.
Halloween is a great excuse to bust out some lumens!!
—-:——-/——/——:——-::/—-
Does anyone know if there’s anything brighter than an XPL in a single cell reflector P60 yet?
I’m hoping to replace my M2500VN with...
Went for a walk with some friends on Halloween to avoid everyone and avoid having to make costumes... bah humbug.
Had my R16VN H20VN and CQVN as we were hiking 10+ mi and nobody had their own lights besides some ghetto Princeton techs etc.
I’ll post some pics from summer adventures when...
Hey all! I haven’t been on CPF for a few months - just been busy on trips etc.
Genesis looks awesome.
I’m stoked that there are some new emitters out there - I’m gonna need a new p60 helmet light when daylight savings rolls back and most of our riding is after dark.
My M2500VN died and was...
1. Was into the mag & brinkman AA lights in the 80s :)
2. I was stuck lightless overnight waiting for the sun to come up on two occasions.
Once in Yosemite when a rayovac switched itself on in the pack and another time hiking off trail out a river gorge in Big Sur and couldn’t navigate down a...
Sooo stoked I found it :)
You were right NewLumen - keep the faith!
VINH-
I LOVED the yellowish floody dedomed MTG2 tint so much - it was my favorite in the fog on my helmet :)
It just flashed and went dead on a ride but I did get a bunch of use out of it.
The only drawback was needing 6volts...
Sooooo
I haven’t posted in a few month because I lost my CQVN and my M2500VN module stopped working and I’ve just beeen soooo bummed BUT! -
my CQVN was discovered buried in the couch at my moms (yay mom!) so I’m SUPER stoked to be back in the game and I’ve also got a little extra $ to have Vinh...
I think non “high drain” batteries are sagging so much under the heavy load that they’re hitting the low voltage cutoff earlier than many people expected on H1.
Try a fresh VTC6 or 30q etc.
Hey Lampe-
I replaced my beloved & waterlogged H600w MKII with an H600fc MKIII & have felt the beam pretty much universally better for anything I use a headlamp for - MTN bikes, backpacking, camping, cooking etc.
three of my friends whom frequently ride and backpack with me have h600w MKIII and...
Here’s a couple of older pics - I still cant find it but I’ve got a few places left to look.
The nitemods (fivemega) tubes are AWESOME with thick anodizing even on the threads (unlike solarforce:() for easy lockout.
The shorty zerorez is cool for having an 18650 in a 18500 body - twist of...
Nice!!
I’m so happy the p60 type module is still around :)
Such a cool way to be able to upgrade our favorite hosts and fine tune them to our personal tastes in tint, UI and beam shape.
I haven’t been able to find my CQVN for a while - I’m hoping it’s buried in my van somewhere....
Gutted if...
