Thanks for the suggestion tam17. I've tried changing modes at all sorts of speeds -- I'm fairly certain that it is cycling through the modes OK. It just seems that the modes first two modes are giving the wrong output. Whatever I do the first two settings are identical (and low) and the third...
Hi all
I have just bought a Fenix LD01 R4 from an online retailer here in the UK. The medium setting on the LD01 seems like it will be great for general use and hopefully night hiking, the low setting perfect for reading and the high setting has surprising wow factor for such a small light...
I like the concept. Whilst I loved the design of the Raw models -- a great hand carry -- it's not quite as convenient for those pesky tasks that need two hands (like putting up tents in cruddy weather). So +1 for the clip on the reverse (removable clip or no? not sure what is feasible or what...
I'm sorry to hear that a couple of people are have been unhappy with the service from Lummi. I sympathize. I hate waiting for internet orders to arrive by post especially when things are slower to arrive than I expect. I get particularly grumpy when there are delays and I feel that they could...
Re: Backpacking light ideas for new member?
I'm into ultralight backpacking. Technology has moved rapidly in the last few years. It wasn't so long ago I carried a heavy Petzl Zoom with incandescent halgon bulb.
These days I carry something much much lighter with a little less throw. I like...
Received my Raw Al today. I think it was worth the wait! Exceptionally bright and incredibly lightweight for the punch it can put out. Don't you just love something that really does the job it's supposed to?
I've just acquired a Wee Ti (definitely the highest price per gram I've paid for a light so I consider it too nice to put on a keychain at the moment – I carry mine in a shirt pocket. Maybe familiarity with it will change this, after all it is made from Ti so may be able to resist scratches...
I'm increasingly trying to hike ultralight. I tend to hike in for a wildcamp on a Friday night, so only need a few hours runtime although I usually carry a spare battery. The last weekend trip I went on a few weeks ago I used my L0D RB80 running on a 1AAA lithium primary (+spare) and a...
Cheers Mike, but I'm confused now! Are we talking about the convex/slightly bulbous new Raw Alu prototype Rob recently announced or is there going to be an aluminium (sorry, aluminum for the non-UK people) version of the Raw Ns? i.e. precisely same design but as the Raw Ns but made of aluminium...
Southam eh.. the beam from my Raw Ns could probably reach you from here!
I considered the original Raw for backpacking but understood that it lacked the o-rings of the Raw Ns series so wouldn't be sufficiently water resistant.
Now, if Rob made sure the new alu Raw was watertight then I'd...
