    new Romisen RC-T601 U2 ??

    Sno4life I have read somewhere that it is 1.8 amps on high. This is not my info I have no way to test. So take this with a grain of salt so to speak. I'm not sure what that would be in lumens for a X-ML U2 but I can say it really is a useful light for walking. This is becoming my favorite...

    new Romisen RC-T601 U2 ??

    Hope you enjoy the light as much as I do Hotwire. BTW it has pretty good throw even on low which I like alot. I live in Oregon and like camping in the woods not the camp grounds so I wanted a light that would light up dark areas at a (What was that noise) distance...(LoL) I think this is going...

    new Romisen RC-T601 U2 ??

    I just got this a few days ago and it is fantastic!!! Well made and Great Throw. It also has a very useful low unlike the other romisens I have. I would say low is about a third as bright and should last a while. Not sure about the run times. It is regulated and not PWM big plus. Only works with...

    Any mfrs with quality LED lights in the Maglite price range?

    I don't know much about the new mag leds. That probably was a buy for the 2 D Mags if it is a newer version. If your just looking for budget lights the Romisen RC-N3 from Shinningbeam is under 20 dollars and comes in a neutral white R4 or a white R5 LED runs on 2 AA batteries or can run on one...

    Looking for a 14500 thrower

    ITP SA1 with the R2 is one of the best every day carry lights I've seen. Throw is rated up with the best & great regulation on AA or 14500. really a no brainer for around 30 bucks at Shiningbeam. I got sick of my Romisen RC-N3 going out on me when I needed it. It works great on 2 AA but to big...

    Recommend me some Headphones.

    Your welcome glad I could help!!! If your interested in the Koss porta pros they have them at Best Buy for 29.99 right now and they come with a new improved cloth covered cord. Hard to pass up for the price. I'm sure you could use them as a knock around pair or gift in the unlikely event you...

    Recommend me some Headphones.

    I've got a pair of Grado SR80s and the ipod doesn't push them that well. So I really like my Koss porta pros because they are still portable and sound great or I hear the Sennheiser PX100s are nice as well. both are only around 40 bucks. There is an easy mod for the Porta pros that brightens...

    Best budget light for my purpose?

    The Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 from shinningbeam I think sounds like the best match as far as most of your needs. It is around 300 lumens, Great to 100ft, high mode will last 3 hours with economy mode that lasts even longer & is still plenty bright. It uses 18650 batteries, is under 25 with CPFuser...

    Reviews on Shining Beam Romisen RC-2R4 II R5

    This light is awesome. I have one and love it. I got a 18650 trustfire battery also. I have had the light for almost two month's now and through the new light stage and a power outage of a few of hours it still is on it's first charge. I don't use it every day but I have used it quite a bit...

    Romisen RC-N3 - Model Questions

    I have the Q5 single mode and I would bet you won't notice much difference between the R4 and Q5 as far as throw. The R4 is the way to go with primaries. It Has Longer run time, Nicer beam, and lights up a larger area. However if your going to use a Rechargeable CR123 then you would want the...

    Any kind of comparison between Romison lights?

    I have the RC-N3 Q5 & the RC-2R4 II R5 and the main difference is throw if you want a light for lighting up a large area within 100 ft then the R5 is the way to go. I think the R2 and Q5 lights are still better for outdoor use just for the throw. As for the runtimes they are going to be real...

    Opinions on budget XP-G torches (the hosts in particular)?

    I just got one of the Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 lights from Shiningbeam it would be a great light for a bike it has two modes, built like a tank, and doesn't seem to get hot. The two modes are pretty close in brightness but it should burn quite a while on the low setting. I got might for under 35...

    Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 LED flashlight

    Ok i took a look at it compared to the 6090 drop in and it is the same diameter but at least a 1/4 inch longer with reflector not counting springs. So It would not fit in my Brinkman. Might fit a light with more room. It does appear to take the 17mm driver board which would make it easy to mod...

    Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 LED flashlight

    I'm sure you have been switching modes and didn't even know it. It switches on either momentary on within three seconds or by clicking it full on within three seconds. Just look real close at the hotspot you should see a slight change in brightness. It is hard to see even though the battery...

    Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 LED flashlight

    Ok done a few tests with it at night. First let me say it is bright. It however is not a throw monster. I would say awesome to about 50 yards then it really will only light signs and white objects beyond that. Pretty much same as the 6090 maybe a touch farther. I'm in the northwest so lots of...
