I have an old tikka plus that has served me better than any other headlamp. Such a simple and fantastic design. Sadly, it's outdated and has been relegated to the disused pile. The modding bug has hit me lately and I want to make it Red, Green, Blue, Amber for the fun of it. The actual mod will...
These are all some very interesting ideas! I have just gotten word from on high that a clip IS planned for the ezAA. It will be designed similar to that of the L0D and arc AAA clips. While not as elaborate as others mentioned here it is still effective and time tested.

Impressive! It even looks like the structural shape of the clip will overcome any softness of the aluminum. Is this true? It looks fairly rigid.
You are going to make 5 more right and give them to the first 5 posters on this thread right?
GREAT PICTURES STEVE! Is there a place I could aquire more high quality versions of them?
I had a great weekend as I am sure everyone else did as well. Some great lights were shown and with the cabin the rain didnt hurt things that much!
Yes. I will bring my air cannon. Its been sitting dormant in my car since last year actually. :P I'll have to remeber to grab some glowsticks to put in it. Its really spectactular with 4 of those coming out the end!

Nothing to worry about. Thats just how the led is and does not affect performance! I will admit upon getting my first cree I had this same question. :P Those xr-e just look so different :D

Re: Fenix EO1 Inperfections
5mm LEDs do not rely on reflected light from the sides so much as light focused through the dome on the front so I wouldn't worry about depth. Some manufacturers have that sucker completely surrounded in the head. :)
Regardless I'm very sorry to hear you are unhappy...
The preflash is due to the circuit dropping the power to the LED. In some lights it's longer than others but all have it. The newer lights seem to drop power quicker. When people refer to it being "fixed" this is it. One of them I just handled was so fast I could barely pick it up. But its...
