    Is there any reason not to run a Fenix PD22 G2 with LiFePO4 RCR123's?

    Just to add to this old thread since I got one recently. On the packaging it specifically mentions "Banned" under LiFePO4 never mind not supported. With a fully charged Tenergy I lose the difference between medium and high. Low works and Turbo is visibly higher too. So it becomes...

    ZebraLight H502 XM-L

    Hi there, I use the H502c on the medium settings the most while camping. M1 when I need to setup camp and erect my tent M2 set to 9 lumen for all other outside tasks like cooking and sitting around camp. Inside the tent I use the L1 setting the most. Those three types of activity used to be...

    Led Lenser L6 - any comments?

    BUT! People must know that the L6 has such a narrow battery tube that it can only take alkaline and lithium cells. I cannot fit a single LSD NiMh in it.

    Led Lenser L6 - any comments?

    Actually the L6 would be one of the better Led Lensers for duty use. It uses 2x AA cells so its better than any multi AAA setup and the direct drive leaves nothing to really go wrong. The switch is not a clicky, its a momentary twisty and these are of the most reliable designs out there. So...

    newbie seeks ulta reliable led for 6p body

    I have personally had no hassles from the Lumens Factory dropins. One turned up with a pleasent tint tending towards neutral and they put out similar levels to other dropins with the same LED.

    4Sevens Quark X 123² Tactical Review - A Layman's Perspective

    I have seen this on my high volatage 123^2 Quark. In low and medium modes. All my low voltage quarks do not have this. In moonlight, high and turbo there is no visible flickering.

    Is there an EDC that can use all these batteries? CR123/Rcr123/AA/18650 batteries

    Just use 2xAA. Add a single cell extender to the L2 and then wrap paper or make a special plastic sleeve to stop the AA's from rattling. And just to add, I have the 18650 Quark body along with all the rest, AA, 2xAA and 123. All work on the low voltage heads, either tactical or regular. The...

    Looking for headlamp for motorcycle touring

    I use a Zebralight H501w and a lot of my camping is from my motorcycle. Its great on high to pitch a tent in the dark and runs long enough on medium to do all cooking and repair/maintenance on the bike. Inside the tent the low is great.

    Regular Quark AA - a forgotten gem

    Sometimes a light just works. I have a neutral Quark head that overheats and overdraws a Li-Ion. I should have sent it back but it works so well on a single AA body that its become my favourite light. The colour is also a sort of dirty neutral that is just perfect. Because I was forced to use...

    Flashlights, Pistols, and Blades... :)

    Hmmm, Kruger Rands , the only thing I like as much as firearms, torches and knives.

    Just got my TK20! Reveiwishy

    The TK20 works so well alongside a Zebralight H501w for camping. The headlamp for everything around camp and the TK20 for looking past the immediate area. My favourite combo. This is what you will find on me in the bush these days.

    What USA light for me?

    I was at Sharp Edge over the weekend ;) If you are in NV we could trade a blade or two. I will be carrying them via the UK but wrapped up they should be fine. I know many of the custom makers personally.

    What USA light for me?

    Yeah, there is an optional Hi-Lo tailcap. Having a warm option along with the 18650 benefits is almost like my ideal light. I'll get that along with a M60 or two. Of course I'll go over budget, anyone got comments on the two Surefires?

    Sad and angry at the same time

    Joy has returned to my household, I have my new H501w and a twin as backup. They look quite stylish in their new colour, more natural olive gold than brown on the previous one. They also have a different UI from the first one, a low-low and low freq strobe in the 2nd mode. Cant see PWM on...

    What USA light for me?

    Thanks man, my Elzetta is 2-modes but not 18650 capable. I will get a MD2 for sure. Dropped a line to Craig and will see about details.
