    solar mini-led?

    These things have been around for some time. The manufacturer's website is here: http://www.skylight-swiss.com/en/ There is an old thread on these here: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6210 Where some of the freelight's other uses were, eh, explored. Oh - and (despite some of...

    Fenix E0 v/s Arc AAA P

    Received my E0 today - Just over a week to get to me in Ireland I'm impressed. It's much brighter than my old ARC AAA LE - and much smaller. A question on the packaging. I's a nice blister card pack (better than ARC's plastic bag) but what's with all the "bulges"? There were 4 on my pack. 3...

    Review: LRI Proton is ***HERE***NiMH Runtime Added...

    Somebody? Suggesting everything being said is bad? Eh? I own one. I am delighted with it. There was a problem and LRI sorted it out in a very professional manner. No problems here. For the avoidance of doubt, this would represent "something good". I'm not alone

    This sounds similar to my fault. You don't mention if the light very briefly flickers when you now switch it on - mine did.

    Review: LRI Proton is ***HERE***NiMH Runtime Added...

    My replacement continues to work very well. My only comment would be that it is a lot noisier than the first one. It makes a buzzing noise both when on full and when on low using the white LEDS. However the level of noise is much reduced when using the single red LED. I would have thought that...

    Review: LRI Proton is ***HERE***NiMH Runtime Added...

    My Proton has just failed. I took it out from my pocket and put it aside. When I returned, I noticed it was switched on. There was lots of bright sunlight at the time, so it wasn't immediately obvious it was on. I switched it off and thought no more of it. Until the next day when I went to...

    Hello?

    Just noticed there are 730 posts and 29636 views in the Proton thread in the Reviews section. If you know David Allen that well, I'm sure he will hint at how that translates into $ business for LRI. I'm also sure that this light in a ARC AAA form factor would be an even bigger success. I'll...

    Hello?

    I suppose 3 reples in 49 minutes does show a sign of life. And the content of these replies would also indicate lots of behind the scenes development work. Having said that, if I am a typical user then this may not count for much. In the past, we have done business together on a number of...

    Hello?

    For some reason, I "tripped" over this http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4951 thread (I believe it was the first thread I started in the CPF!) earlier. It's dated 11-14-2001 and it got me thinking about how ARC in it's various guises has progressed in the last 5 years; not a lot...

    Review: LRI Proton is ***HERE***NiMH Runtime Added...

    If it ain't busted... I'd say if the light develops a fault, return it to LRI. I've used their warranty services in the past and can say they stand over what they make. If we are talking about product upgrades, these are completely normal with most products - be they Renaults or toasters -...

    Review: LRI Proton is ***HERE***NiMH Runtime Added...

    Sorry for the delayed answer ... I didn't use the Lithium it was supplied with! On the basis that I don't plan to buy these for ongoing use, I thought it best to do my initial "playing" with regular Alkalines. BTW, anyone else's Proton have an "unscrewable" tailpiece top?
