    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    I mountain bike with a headlamp. I ski with a headlamp. Why would I hike or even walk with a handheld when my hands are my major line of defense should I fall? 95% of the time I need light I don't need immense flood or throw, why would I want to burden my hands? In short, I use headlamps at...

    Please Recommend a 4000K-4100K High-CRI *Throwy/Spot* Headlamp

    Yes, the TH10 V2 I recommended is discontinued.

    Please Recommend a 4000K-4100K High-CRI *Throwy/Spot* Headlamp

    Find yourself a used thrunite th10 v2. Better runtime and regulation than the Thrower. Despite having awkward interface, my 2nd favorite headlamp--because of its impressive throw (for a headlamp), 1x18650 form factor, and NW emitter--a very rare combo in a headlamp.

    Nitecore website specifies that warranty service should be sought via retailer. Nevertheless, Banggood refuses to honor their warranty. Buyers beware!

    keychain attachment strength Maratac AAA vs ITP A3

    Decided one of these will be my new EDC keychain light. I like the looks of the Maratac better, but am concerned about selfbuilt's assessment of its keychain attachment point: "frankly seems a little thin and fragile to me". Anyone have any real-world experience to help me determine whether the...

    quark tactical question

    I prefer a super low mode for myself (just gotta see where to put my foot down in front of me while night hiking while maintaining as much night vision as possible), then I need one notch up for others who need a bit more light, then I of course want a bright beam occasionally, so... I opted for...

    quark tactical question

    During normal operation do you have access to only the 2 modes you've programmed for twist operation, or can you access all 5 modes (without entering programming mode)?

    big problems with dx- which forum?

    Dx has blatantly ripped me off (haven't refunded $ for unsent merchandise after several months and are not answering my emails). I feel somewhat of an obligation to let others know about this- which is the right forum to post the details to?

    Fenix E01 Simulated Beamshot

    OK then. Forget about whatever color purple you're seeing on your monitor, and I'll forget about whatever color I'm seeing on mine. Instead, let me just state that my E01 has an extremely purple tint. It is significantly more purple than any LED I own. Nothing else even comes close. Not my other...

    Fenix E01 Simulated Beamshot

    We have 3 people (including me) thus far reporting that their E01s have an extremely violet tint, and thus far 3 people have tried to blame it on our monitors! In other words, the implication is that our monitors are displaying a color much less violet than what's appearing on others'. I doubt...

    Fenix E01 Simulated Beamshot

    I recently received an olive E01 from the fenix store, and mine too has a tint just as violet as the simulated one above. I find the light completely useless. I'm particularly peeved since my request to the fenix store to make a return has gone unanswered now for several days.

    Is there an 18650 light with a floody, P3D-type beam?

    The VB16 w/SSC is about $30 and has a really nice floody beam. Great light for the dough.

    LEGION II: A 3*18650 SSC P7 light with advanced UI [COMING]

    My interest has suddenly waned substantially. I imagine that allowing for CR123A operation will negatively impact both regulation and efficiency for 18650. I also imagine that many/most of the people who'd be willing to fork out the dough for this kind of light are also interested in having the...

    good low power flood LEDs?

    Fixing to replace the luxeon (with a SSC) in my BD icon, and figure there must be some floods available too that will outperform the stock ones. ie more light for same current. Any suggestions on what LEDs I should use and where I can find them?
