    Why can't flashlight manufacturers design decent clips?

    This is a real mystery to me. How hard can it be to come up with a decent clip for a flashlight? And yet over and over again they seem to get it wrong. Its a pretty simple thing - isnt it? :thinking:

    120P behaving badly

    Hey guys, I just got a used 120P that I bought from a guy on EDCForums. The thing is I can't get this light to do anything I want it to. I'm not entirely new to these lights, having had an 85P for some time, but this light just doesn't want to cooperate. At the moment I have somehow managed...

    Am I retarded?

    I have a Novatac 85P and a 120P on the way.... I have studied the manual and so far have figured out how to set two brightness levels and I can also get a third setting, currently the SOS option. Aren't there meant to be four settings available on this light? Am I missing something here? Why...

    Gray foam ring inside Novatac tailcap

    Hiya, Does anyone know what the purpose of the gray foam ring inside the tail cap? I just grabbed a 120P from a guy and he has two tailcaps, one with the ring and one without. My 85P which I bought new has it, so its obviously meant to be there. Anyone know what its purpose is and does its...

    L2D to L1D

    Hiya all, For a bit of fun I thought I'd get a L1D tube to convert my L2D to a single cell AA. The tube arrived today but its not cooperating... when I stick the cell in the light doesn't turn on. When I twist the head around a bit, it does turn on and then it wont turn on again. Is it...

    Ra Clicky VS Novatac 120P for EDC

    Hey freaks, I'm trying to decide between the above two lights. My chief concern about the Ra range is that they look pretty big compared to the Novatacs, and with the stainless bezel I'm assuming they're heavier as well. I already own a Novatac 85P and I find it a real good size and weight...

    Fenix E1 - mods?

    Hey, The Fenix E1 is the ideal size for my keychain but the tint and beam are nasty! Does anyone mod this little guy here? The output is fine I'm just after a nice white tint and a beam without all the rings of Saturn. :sick2: Thanks!

    Programming a 'P' Novatac

    Hey, I just got my first Novatac - the 85P. I'm having a bit of a torrid time trying to figure out how to programme the thing. I manage to get one level OK, but then everything goes haywire after that. I don't know how the hell I'm going to get the strobe, or SOS functions to work. I was...

    Is Novatac really HAIII?

    hey, I just received my first Novatac light - a 85P in the standard pewter finish - and while the light is great in most respects, I'm a little concerned about the anodising. First off, its not an even battleship gray across the whole light, the middle section is darker than the top and tail...

    Matterhorn 3LED kudos

    I just wanted to post here about my Peak Matterhorn 3LED HA III. I've had this light for well over a year now and I carry it every day in my pocket on the end of a fancy coil lanyard that is a pretty danged useful bit of kit I picked up on another forum... Its clipped to the lanyard next to a...

    Pacific anyone?

    Hey, I'm looking to take advantage of Peak's sale and pick up a AA light. I'm thinking the Pacific. Can I get some input from users of this light? I like a good runtime so it doesn't have to be a pocket rocket. Is the Pacific a good choice? Thanks

    One-cell, multi-mode, rechargeable friendly, affordable

    What is the list of lights that meets this criteria? Novatac I know about... Is that it? Surely there are others... aren't there?

    Carribean GTG with rechargeables

    Hey guys, FYI I just received a recharger kit which was WAY overdue but anyway... I ordered it with two AW protected cells (black ones). I wanted to use rechargeables in my Caribbean and HDS 42XR. I knew the HDS would accept but wasn't sure about the Caribbean. Good news is the cell fits...

    Rechargeable R123a's - preference?

    hey guys, I'm at long last getting a recharging set-up for R123a cells. I have the recharger nailed down but not sure which cells to go with. I'm getting protected ones cos I don't want to take a chance and blow my rather expensive lights, but which brand is recommended? I can choose between...

    Caribbean not well

    hey guys, Had occasion to use my brass Caribbean last night and something is not right. The LED is flickering very rapidly. I cleaned the contacts, but it didn't help. The battery is a fresh Energiser, so I don't know what the cause is. Haven't dropped it recently or anything. I've written...

    First new light in a long while!

    After waiting patiently for all the excitement around the Cree LEDs to settle down I finally pulled the trigger on a new light. I decided on the new P1D CE - with a difference. I ordered the Leef body to go with it, as that sounded like a way cool combo. So whaddaya think? Mark

    AA pocket light on a budget

    Hi guys, I've long been keen on getting a AA light. My thoughts first turned to the L1T and then wandered off to the Jetbeam, then to Peak LED... and I realised I was maybe getting too close to the triple figure mark. I also don't really want a multi-mode whizzbang that I need to fiddle with...

    Want new Peak, but which one?

    Hey guys, I am getting that old itch again and I'm pretty sure I want a new Peak. I have a Matterhorn 3 LED in HA and a Carribbean in brass, so I'd like to get something in stainless steel, just for fun. But which one? I like the output of the Carribbean and the size is handy, so maybe a...

    Arc LS

    Hey guys, The other day I was in one of my local outdoor supply stores and noticed a rather interesting looking flashlight in a display cupboard. I didn't have a lot of time to investigate but I took a peek and saw the Arc logo on the side. Now, I'm familiar with the Arc AAA lights of course...

    Brass Caribbean and ostrich sleeping bag

    My brass Caribbean is a great little light and the brass is so unique I figured it could use a nice little carry pouch in a special material. A family member had some ostrich offcuts and I thought that would do nicely. Ostrich is real good leather and the two pieces I had were quite different...
