    A McGizmo Haiku XP-G review...is this the new standard for EDC Lights? You decide!

    Why did you sell your Haiku? In my understanding, the new HIVE does not change much the clicky UI of original Haiku or the whole portfolio of McGizmo. What makes Haiku so different is the material used, mechanical works, design, and especially the lens. I have one Haiku XP-G AA. Even I don't...

    Your thoughts on Malkoff MDC AA

    I have MDC 2AA. I posted my comments here before, and I will repeat them briefly here: Negatives: 1. three notches on the head will project into the beam. This you will never see from any other popular cheap Chinese made AA lights. You may tolerate it or hate it. I hate it in the beginning, but...

    Designing an LED flashlight for Kickstarter

    What concerns me most is the new design to make vials switchable. It makes the thread smaller, which makes me feeling the light is not so strong. Tint aspect, I really like 219B, but I have quite a few lights with this LED. What attracted me with the original design was that low CCT high CRI...

    [Review] Manker T01 (XP-L HI V3, 1x AA / 14500)

    CPF allows us to define the location as we want. I am afraid some ID is playing with this. That "brucejiang" says he is located in England. But his post showed clearly he was in China when reviewing Manker T01. And he did not even care to hide the screen shots of his China mobile phone.:party:

    [Review] Manker T01 (XP-L HI V3, 1x AA / 14500)

    the international and national confuse me a lot. Is the reviewer located at Barcelona or not? Is he a Chinese or not? Referring the Chinese reviews here as "national" sounds a very seriously mistakenly play for me. Oh, just found out the first response was not coming from the reviewer. How...

    Firefly Prototype Review (the "Kickstarter light")

    Thanks for the review! And look forward to the pictures. I like Gatling looking and I don't care about Tritium, so I will always choose the S/S rod version. And I do share your concern about the low CCT and orange cast. I do want a low CCT light as a complementary to my 4000k, 4500k, 5000k and...

    But that option seems to be only one with tritium which I actually don't prefer.

    Designing an LED flashlight for Kickstarter

    Video or photo are sometimes very misleading or disguising the truth. For example, the CCT can never be displayed corrected in a photo since the picture is taken by a camera with whatever CCT setting you may never know. So I would rather to trust some famous CPF flasholics instead of some...

    Designing an LED flashlight for Kickstarter

    I backed Ti without Tritium with clip. I chose not Tritium due to two reasons: 1. S/S tubes look more cool to me, more looking like that old school Gatling gun with all metal design and this is the biggest attracting point of this light to me. 2. yes, the vials in glass may be fragile. So I...

    New Malkoff MDC in the works.

    Same problem with my MDC 2AA body. Hope Malkoff is going to do something by adding some knurling or whatever.

    Designing an LED flashlight for Kickstarter

    I am really interested with the option of titanium without tritium with clip. How to be listed/qualified in that 50 pcs ($135) only? I don't know sure about it. But the GITD green rubber I saw before looked a bit cheap to me compared to the normal black ones. And I like the rubber of McClick...
