    Favorite budget light 2020

    Haven't bought a light for at least 5 years (with the exception of a cheap, COB-type, rechargeable light in the last year), but got an Astrolux FT03 using an XHP50.2 LED in neutral white (5700K) and (not so budget in my opinion), Astrolux MF01 Mini Copper with XPL-HI LEDs (5000K). I wanted...

    High CRI options

    If you're up for it. Make your own or mod one of your existing lights with a high CRI LED.

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    I ended up getting MH1 cells with my one and they are so much better than the NCR18650BE cells (unprotected) I used before the MH1 cells arrived. With the MH1, the light is visibly brighter on turbo and it gets hot quicker than using NCR18650BE cells. To get that maximum light output it...

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    These cells came in the other day and man, they do make a difference. The NCR18650BE cells simply was not able to feed the power this light needed in its high and turbo modes. When I use the LG cells, on turbo, I can feel the heat coming out from the front of the light and the head getting...

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    Correction. The cells are LG 18650MH1 as tested by HKJ here: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/LG%2018650%20MH1%203200mAh%20%28Cyan%29%20UK.html They're not made by Samsung. :oops:

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    You have the option to have it to the left or right of the button. In that picture it was on the left. But after trying it out for a bit, I didn't like it and moved it to the left. Yup, that's the one. I bought 10 of them from an Aliexpress dealer. I'm not sure if it is a hybrid cell, but...

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    I got the Nichia 219B version. The beam profile is truly, a wall of light. I thought the S6330vn was a wall of light, but this thing beats it handily in terms of light output. Through a simple ceiling bounce test, the Meteor is simply brighter. However, in terms of throw, the S6330vn still...

    Size comparison. S6330vn and Meteor M43.

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    Nope. Got the Nichia version. I don't have enough high drain cells, which this thing is recommended to have, so I got myself 10 of LGINR18650HG2 cells.

    1 Mode 8x AMC7135 board

    http://intl-outdoor.com/amc71358-1mode-circuit-board-nanjg-105c-p-643.html Use them to buy LEDs, drivers and other components. A bit slow on the shipping as they're not state-side.

    ZL S6330 update

    I've always wondered why they never released a neutral white version of this light. I had to go and buy a customised version from Vinh in order to get the neutral tint I wanted. The light itself and its features were typical ZL quality. IIRC, the only hang-up I read about it was here in CPF...

    Carrying Spare Batteries

    I did a search on this and, from the pictures, they are exactly like the ones I have linked in my post. The only exception is that the ones in my link do not contain any branding and it is US$1.60 each. I have done testing on its waterproofness with 3 of the 15 or so cases that I have of...

    Carrying Spare Batteries

    I had them shipped with other items, including cells, so they took longer than the typical 20 days I usually expect from them. But yeah, 20 days should be their delivery times.

    Carrying Spare Batteries

    These are the cases that I use: - 26650 cells - 18650 cells - note, not very waterproof, but splashproof ok - AA/AAA/14500 cells I EDC an SC52w and CNQG Brass AA lights. They take a 14500 and AA respectively. If I know that I won't be spending much time out in the evening then there's no...

    MT-G2 driver with 2 cell light. (26650/18650)

    I'm pretty sure I had a more detailed response, but this was the only thing I was able to find regarding the LD-29 not being able to work with an MT-G2.
