    Travel and camping lights of choice

    Originally Posted by Charlie Hustle Lightweight 18650 lights are probably what I would choose for camping. I'm curious why an 18650 light would not be as good as AA primaries for an extended stay in a remote area. If you bring extra 18650s, wouldn't they work just as well?

    Headlamp for Backpacking

    I've never owned an 18650 format flashlight nor have I ever recharged a battery. I didn't want to jump into it until I had some experience with a flashlight. I just got a Zebralight SC600Fc and will play around with recharging batteries. Once I'm comfortable with that, I'll consider an...

    ZL SC600w vs SC600Fc beam profile

    Thanks everyone. I ended up with the SC600Fc because I have a thrower (Tiablo A9) that's always with me in the woods. Who knows, maybe I'll get the SC600w at some point. Thanks again!

    What lights do you consider the most epic or influential on your hobby

    Mine revolve around being in the woods. An HDS Executive for absolute reliability in any weather condition and a Tiablo A9 (with aspheric lens) for throw to see what is making all that noise.

    Flashlight with long throw.

    Re: Flashlight with long useable throw. I'm a dinosaur just getting into higher-powered batteries. I have a Tiablo A9 with an aspheric lens which stills projects a pretty good concentrated and narrow beam. CR123 format. I can only imagine what some of the flamethrowers of today will produce.

    Nitecore D4 authentic?

    Thanks, I appreciate. I pivoted at the last second and just ordered the Nitecore UMS 2 from them. It looked to have a few more formats that the D4 didn't such as 21,700. I'm just beginning to migrate from primary CR123 to a rechargable 18650 for a Zebralight SC600Fc so my need to recharge a...

    Nitecore D4 authentic?

    Can I assume that if I buy the D4 from Nitecorestore.com that it is legitimate? Is there any other reseller that I can be sure it is legit?

    The Official Zebralight Thread .

    You guys are fantastic and thank you for your thoughtful help. I'm doing something wrong because I can't a setting in either G5 or G6. After I double-click to begin the programming mode, I can not get the light level to go up or down no matter what I do. I tried double-clicking to get it to go...

    Going from left to right with High, H1=276lm, H2=230Lm. How do access the 165Lm or 102Lm that are listed? Light Output (runtimes) High: H1 276 Lm (0.9 hr) or H2 230 Lm (1.6 hr) / 165 Lm (2.3 hrs) / 102 Lm (4.2 hrs) Medium: M1 55 Lm (8.5 hrs) or M2 25Lm (21 hrs) / 10 Lm (41 hrs) / 3.4 Lm (4.5...

    Thank you, an excellent video. I'm using the H53Fc. Its modes are listed below. If I want to access and use the 102 lumens, is that what is preprogrammed in G7? If so, do I click 7 times and now I can use 102 Lm in Hi, 3.4Lm in Medium and .001Lm in Low? Light Output (runtimes) High: H1 276 Lm...

    I just received a ZL headlamp and a flashlight is on the way. I'm new to ZL and was hoping to find a video that shows how to access the pre-programmed light levels but didn't find one on YouTube. Lots of reviews of flashlights. Is there a YT video or other source you could recommend that shows...

    ZL SC600w vs SC600Fc beam profile

    I'm looking for a flashlight for trail use at night in the woods. Is there much difference in the beam of 600Fc 90-degree floody compared to the 600w 80-degree spill with the 10 degree hotspot? Which would be better for woods use?

    Tail Clicky 18650

    Who makes a tail clicky in 18650? I'm looking for one that has high-medium-low and maybe several within each. I know I can get an HDS custom in that format. What other companies/models are out there?

    Headlamp for Backpacking

    That's a sweet setup. I've consider the tarp route but have always been concerned about venomous snakes and them visiting my camp while sleeping. How do you avoid that issue...a bivy?

    Charger for an 18650

    Is there a charger that uses a USB connection to charge? That would be helpful as I carry a power bank when backpacking. On it's website, Zebralight recommends this battery for the H600Fc. Is this a decent battery to order...
