    Can you help me finding a spare HID Bulb?

    Thanks for answering! I don´t have the dive light at my hands, trying to help a friend over the net. I guess it blew up because of it´s age, it is several years old. I don´t know exactly, how much runtime it has. Good to know there can be several variations depending on the location of the...

    Is the AW 18650 battery worth the price?

    I have used Xtar 2600mAh cells in my single cell flashlights for long time. Ordered probably over 30 of them, yet to discover a single dud in them. Solid performers BUT they are pretty long in size. If used in 2 x 18650 lights, make sure first, you can fir 2 of them in one light ;)

    My new Zebralight H51 already crapped out.

    Yes, interesting indeed. Has this driver-issue been discussed here in other threads? Battery on my sample was full. Just to report, that now the H51 is completely dead. No light whatsoever :(

    My new Zebralight H51 already crapped out.

    Too lazy to make another thread, so here goes: Bought H51 for brother _13_ months ago. It´s somewhat busted now. Cleaned the threads, tailcap connection, + connection from driver. It gives me: H1 and if cycled, faint and flickering maybe something between L and M. That´s all modes it has now...

    Looking for high CRI LED

    Hi! Are there any options for High CRI LED at around 4500K? I´m a bit noob on these high CRI´s, so would like to try one. I know I don´t like warmish tints but high CRI with a bit higher temp could be just right for me. Planning to make a low output dropin, perhaps, so output is not so important.

    Any love for DQG II? (smallest 1xAAA flashlight in existence)

    Great light, my best AAA for sure and almost the best light - ever. Just fits my uses very well. Not too many modes, just perfect. Wide beam, excellent in close range. Small, really really small! Magnet is a good plus at tail. Excellent efficiency at driver. I get some 1h40min of runtime with...

    Thanks for your measurements, indeed a bit smaller diameter.

    just got ZL sc51, have a question

    Try the ceiling bounce test to see, how much there´s difference between fenix and sc51.

    Show your Solarforce

    Nice pics! Could you measure the inner diameter of your L2 and the new L2 matte?

    just got ZL sc51, have a question

    -Do you have fresh full battery? -If you are not using Eneloops, you won´t probably get the most out of it. -Try cleaning surfaces between battery positive & head, battery negative & tail + tailcap & body. This helped for me!

    Solarforce L2P battery died, now it won't come on at all

    I have had one bad driver in Solarforce R5 low voltage dropin. I used very depleted 3 x AAA when it shut down. I upgraded (or downgraded) driver to "AK-47" one to drive R5 at only 1A, suits very well for me since it has high PWM frequency and does not heat much at all :) Also: lower low :)
