    Love the headlamps, hate the headbands

    Re: Love the headlamps, hate the headbands PRROBLEM SOLVED Vortus--what does a silicone band, no fabric, feel like? I see one is made for a Petzyl pixa is offered and I'm tempted.

    Zebralight H52 anyone?

    Nick, I just got a blip from ZL that my 52fw was shipped from China this week so maybe that means it will be in stock next week assuming others are coming with it. Let us know what you find out and if you get one and how you like it, please. Pray tell, where did you see the $1k one? Possibly...

    Zebralight H52 anyone?

    Well okay, I'll copt to the possibility of being partially wrong here. Just went to their site to confirm my belief that the original ad said nothing about stock status either way, which of course means it is in stock. I see now that I could have missed it, but if so that is because it is easy...

    New HL from Petzl: Pixa series

    Check in time everyone! Well now its been 2 1/2 years and time I'd say time for everyone who bought one of these to belly up to the bar and ladle out their complaints and praise for this light, prefaced perhaps by how much you have actually used and abused it. Especially since there have not...

    Reccomend a floody headlamp

    Please keep us posted J, about any new ideas you get or if you settle on anything. I just started looking at the Petzl Pixa 2aa series tonight. Not a lot of info on it. Everyone seems to agree it seems to be built like a tank tho. A "toolbox light" supposedly. Not sure if switch is electronic...

    Zebralight H52 anyone?

    Looks like we have duplicate experiences here Binky. They took my money on the 4th and when I contacted them a week later they said there was a "2 week lead time" which should mean shipment on 18th but no word so guess i'm supposed to contact them again and be told what you were. Thinking of...

    Zebralight H52 anyone?

    Those lights are not listed as out of stock on the site. Nor is the H52fw i ordered on 4th for which they took money but no shipment notice yet. How does ZL do things? They don't tell you before you order that stuff is out of stock? Seem to vaquely remember there were items listed as back...

    Zebralight H52 anyone?

    Little wary of buying an H52W right off the boat in case their are any kinks they are waiting for us to find. Anyone bought one yet and put it thru enough trial to have an opinion?

    Headlamp for pro mechanic use.

    Thanks for that. I guess someone must have thought the reflector looked like the color of a mule or something. Yeh, you would hope it's in the papers after you buy. My concern was they don't want to tell you before the leap, or (to put them in the most favorable light) they simply forgot, just...

    Summary:what was your 3 best flashlights purchases for year 2013?

    Could you please elaborate on whatever aspects there are to this "fiasco"? I was thinking of getting a H52w. Why the shipping issue? I thought I saw them on the ZL site few days ago. What do you mean a complete disaster from a marketing standpoint? Should I back off? Does ZL suck? :confused:

    Headlamp for pro mechanic use.

    Ri Chev-- I've seen this term before. What is a Mule reflector and what does it have to do with a mule? Personally i got pretty turned off by Spark in my search by 2 things. * no warranty mentioned on Spark site. maybe they got one but that's a bad sign in my book. * Their recent SG5 was...

    Headlamp for pro mechanic use.

    I've used the fenix band with small 2 aa torch and found it clunky and adjusting angles is not very smooth and quick like a real headlamp. Also does not put light exactly where you are looking. And imo if you mounted light on each side you really wouldn't like having on your head for hours as...
