    Time to Make a Fenix LD01 Neutral

    Thanks so much for the reply. That tutorial was very well done and should prove useful. It gives me some ideas for my old Fenix L2P head...an old friend that deserves a new lease on life. John

    Time to Make a Fenix LD01 Neutral

    Sorry for dredging up an old thread, but I'm sure there are many LDO1s that still live on. I've EDC'd mine for over a year now. Love the light - but I'm not as fond of the tint. An emitter swap would be just the thing. My question to those who've done it: How hard is it to separate the head...

    Lumintop Tool AAA Switch Removal?

    Greetings, I just received a Lumintop Tool AAA light (that I like rather well so far...), and I have question. I tried to remove the tailswitch retainer and it doesn't seem to want to uncrew. Not wanting to damage anything by being overly forceful, I thought I would ask if anyone knows...

    User Configurable Single / Multi Mode 7135 drivers Mod

    It comes to mind that this mod might possibly (likely?) disable any low voltage warning/cutoff functionality of the driver. John

    User Configurable Single / Multi Mode 7135 drivers Mod

    Interesting...so, this might also work on the Qlite Rev.A 7135*8 driver? I don't have one yet (enroute) to investigate. Magnetic (or other) switch to change between single/multiple mode comes to mind... Thanks for sharing this. John

    XM-L2 in an XR-E 7090 Reflector?

    How would an XM-L2 perform in a reflector designed for the XR-E 7090 (EZ900)? I have a (3-4 year old?) 2AA light that's decent, but the tint is too blue for my liking. The beam profile is nice due to the textured reflector, and has a smallish hotspot with smooth transition to the spill area...

    Qlite Rev.A/XM-L2 Drive level and 2 x CR123's ?

    Greetings, I’m trying to configure a new multi-mode Qlite Rev.A driver board for an XM-L2 P60 Drop-in, and I’m taking a conservative approach. I’ll be using a Panasonic NCR18650 3100 mah unprotected cell *most* of the time, but I want to retain the ability to use 2 x CR123 primaries in...

    Fenix LD01 XP-E R4 vs XP-G R4

    I just received a new LD01 (ser# F4HYMT01944). Box says XP-E R4. Seller advertised XP-G R4, so I contacted them about it. They checked their inventory and also with their supplier, and said XP-E R4 is current production version. Tint on this one leans towards the greenish side, but it's not...

    Shadow VG-10?

    This Shadow VG-10 has piqued my interest, but I can’t seem to find much info other than what’s on the website. Has anyone here seen/bought/used one? I’d like to know more before making any decisions. Thanks - John

    McE2S for C/M bodies - prototype evaluated !!!

    I made a new button top for mine because a fat O-ring just didn't seem to work the best for me in the G2 rubber cap. YMMV... John

    Flying squirels and Surefire M6/M6R

    Interesting subject! I've recently discovered them in SuperiorNational Forest in northeastern Minnesota. We’ve been going there for over 20 years and never knew they existed before. The ground squirrels and chipmunks are so used to campers that they'll scamper right up and chew through just...

    Hi Whorton5, Welcome to CPF! While I'm not an expert, my wife and I have done several backpacking excursions in Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota, and here's what we've learned: A small lightewight headlamp is essential for hands-free task lighting - especially for eating...
