    alternative to supplied bands?

    Fabric store. Get heavest elastic webbing they have in the correct width (usually 1 inch). Usually available in darker colors such as navy and black. Usually not quite as heavy but it works. I find that the elastic in the webbing in most headlamps slowly but very surely loses its...

    Underwater Kinetics: vizion?

    Bought the Vizion awhile back at REI. Seems pretty solid and well made. Comfortable to wear. However, the beam, when using the clear part of the rotating filter is a bit crappy. The diffuser and the red part of the filter are fine. Since I mostly use the diffuser section of the filter...

    Upgrading my PT Solo?

    I believe that the PT Solo is the same as the PT Matrix and PT Quest, which I have. If so, go to Sears and get the Sears Craftman PR drop-in. Good for 1.5-8 volts. About $15. My reflectors are textured. Very floody beam, with a somewhat soft hot spot. I tend to like a fairly floody beam in...

    stenlight headband

    For foam just go to Wally World, in the craft section, and get a sheet of 2mm self-adhesive foam. Just cut a chunk to shape, peel the paper and stick it on. If you want it thicker, cut 2 chunks, stick them together (sticky side to non-sticky side) and cut to shape. I've done this on a couple...

    Any 1 cell headlamps??

    If you have a CMG Infinity or Infinity Ultra just get a Ray-O-Vac Kid's Adventure headlamp. Unscrew the pivot bolt for the lamp. Take off the lamp. What you want to do is put the pivot bolt through the hole for the lanyard lug along with some spacers on each side of the lanyard lug. I used 4...

    River Rock 0.5W headlamp still available?

    I was in in a local Target store (Minneapolis area) last night and they had one River Rock headlamp hanging on the peg, so, because of the above posts, I thought I'd better snap it up. Probably still available in some Target stores until stock sold out. Too bad, because it's a great little...

    Convert Petzel 4.5Volt to LED

    I have the same problem. A few years ago I picked up a somewhat worn Petzl Mega at a thrift store for 80 cents, complete with 3 dead C cells (hadn't leaked fortunately). Had the standard bulb, kind of dim, but not a bad beam, and focusing. I found out, at that time, that REI carried a high...

    I bought a Aurora Headlamp last night

    I have the same problem with the Aurora, especially when reading. I stuck a piece of black electrical tape across the bottom, about even with the bottom of the LED's. This helped a fair amount. Also try moving the light up and down your forehead to see if a different position helps. Just...

    What I would like to see in a flashlight

    Long time reader, 1st post. An Attitude, with an Aurora switch would do it for me. Also like the low, medum,high order, instead of the high, medium, low of the Aurora. Keep the two flash modes. I find them useful on occasion. Would be nice to be able to change the intensity of the flash...
