    Niteye Zip 20?

    The only reason why we would stop buying Niteye is to send a message and I think if we keep it limited to Niteye, the message will be as clear as it can be. We can't start boycotting other brands that might or might not be affiliated with Niteye. Not only because we might hit the wrong people...

    Are you a member of the Zebra herd?

    Nope, I'm not going to join the herd. Ordered an H502 for my sister. Works with alkalines (with reduced output) but not with most of my Eneloops (does not even turn on). Dealextreme offers better customer service for their 10$ "Crapfire" lights. Prices in Germany are ridiculous. That was my...

    Good headlamps?

    Depends on what you need. I have a Magicshine MJ-808E which is really great for skating and any other occasion that requires LOTS of light. But it's virtually useless for close-up work. That's why I'm probably going to order the Ultrafire H1, which has a good reputation and should be just right...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    I went for the neutral white version. Because of the different tints, it was impossible for me to see whether there is any difference in brightness. Maybe in direct comparison with the same tints it would have been visible. So in the end, the decision was more about which tint I like better. I...

    Running Rechargeables in the Qmini CR2

    They don't have any protection. After all, this is a pretty small cell so there is not much space for a PCB. The highest mode is quite sensitive to a decreasing battery voltage, so you should notice in time, when it's time to charge your cells. I usually charge my batteries whenever I used the...

    Predator arrived today. Why am I disappointed?

    I have a 5€ laserpointer with 5mW that throws further than my 340€ Olight SR90 with 30000mW. So what? Throw alone is useless. A focusable flashlight will always throw further and will always be less practical. You need both, good throw and good illumination of the surroundings. Your Maglite can...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    I also couldn't decide between the two versions, so I ordered them both. As soon as they arrive, I can compare them side by side and send back one of them. Why don't you just order the neutral, compare it to the U2 version and send it back or sell it if you don't like it?!

    Was I expecting too much?

    It was about a month old and there was definitely a problem with the switch (checked it with a multimeter). However, today I got an email that a new switch is already on its way. So custumer support is great.

    Was I expecting too much?

    I own several 4sevens lights and my experience is similar. They have many really good ideas and on paper these lights are just awesome. I love my Preons or my Qmini CR2 (bought it three times, because I lost it twice), there are no comparable lights out there. Build quality, however, has always...

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    Thanks. I think I should send them an email.

    The Official EagleTac G25C2 thread.

    Just saw that on Eagletac's website it says that the neutral white version has 12lm low as opposed to the 2lm of the cold white version. Is that a typo? Does anyone have the nw version?

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Eagletac G25C2 because I don't want to wait forever for an XM-L-version of the Armytek Predator.

    What Is The Longest You Have Ever Used An LED Flashlight?

    I once used my iTP C8 for several hours when I was trying to find water in a dark forest. Had to change the batteries twice. That was probably the longest time I ever used a flashlight, since we don't have power failures here in Germany.
