    Questions on H602w

    The 600 series headlamps only take 1 x 18650 up to 69 mm long, i recently bought a h600FW Mk II, eagletac 3400mah or 3100mah 18650 work fine as they are the shortest protected batteries avaliable, any longer and the tailcap won't make electrical contact with the body, operating voltage is 2.7 -...

    Zebralight H600 MK II (Spot and Fill) vs H600F (Floody) vs H602 (no reflector) beams

    The H602 with no reflector will have a very wide beam with no hot spot, the led is closer to the lens than the H600 and H600f, the H600f has a reflector the same as the H600 but has a frosted lens to diffuse the hot spot so you will have a similar beam pattern but the bright center will get...

    mixing new batteries

    I think the nitecore NL189 3400mAh is a rewrapped panasonic ncr18650b, so they are the same batteries but may have different protection circuits on them, they may differ slightly in length too, here is a pic of a nitecore 3100 mah with nitecore wrapper removed...

    Fenix HL10 [XP-E R4, 1xAAA Ni-MH or Alkarine] Review

    I got mine a few days ago, love it great little light, low is good for reading a book or map, medium is enough for walking in the dark, i'm not worried about scratching it as i will be buying a few spares

    Help me with batteries please. I just don't get it.

    Hi, i have not seen any 3v rechargeable cr123 batteries, most are closer to 4v when freshly charged, the rechargeable 123a batteries will probably damage the led in a a surefire e1b, 1 have done it with a surefire l2 using 2 rechargeable cr123 batteries, it was a lot brighter for a few minutes...

    Fenix HL30 - Issue with NEW batteries? (low mode not working)

    A few new fenix lights don't get low mode with fresh alkalines, i was worried about low mode on my new ld20, popped in the alkalines i got with the flashlight, it went med, med, high and turbo, found a little slip in the instructions telling you this is normal.

    Which model did you buy several times and why?

    I buy more than one of lights i really like, in the last month i bought 2 fenix E05, 3 fenix E11, and 3 fenix LD20 flashlights, it's nice to have some spares, i will probably sell them in a few months when i need cash for some new ones that take my fancy.

    Restoring flashlights lettering (Surefire specifically)?

    You could try repainting the letters, get some white enamel modelling paint, the oil based stuff, let some flow into the lettering, leave for a couple of hours then run a moistened not wet q tip with some turpentine on it over the top of the lettering, this will take the excess paint off leaving...

    Do aesthetics matter?

    Aesthetics don't matter much to me unless it was hideous, i used to think spyderco knives were very ugly, never gave them a second look until i bought one, have had a few since then, they are more ergonomic than pretty.

    U2 ultra new or old model

    I removed plastic sleeve in a few minutes it was not glued. I first stuck a sharp knife between the sleeve and body to create a gap from the bezel end then hammered a thin bladed flat head screwdriver down between the two and continued to do this all the way round the sleeve, then after a bit...
