    What am I missing: Why does my 300 lumens light seems brighter than my 550 lumens light?

    Are you running an AA or 14500 in the Archer? It will not put out 550 with a regular AA. If you are running it with a 14500, then it’s probably beam profile as said already.

    Sunwayman V10r Ti+ mod to 519a 3000K

    Looks great. I knew you wouldn’t have it long before going to a HCRI and not surprised you went with the 519a. So much better than before.

    what was the first led flashlight you owned?

    Streamlight Sidewinder Military Model With white, red, blue, and infrared light. At the time, I preferred my issue Surefire incandescent. My preference for LEDs began when I purchased a Fenix LD01. So much brightness and runtime from such a small light. Wish I still had it, but loaned it out...

    Best AA edc flashlight?

    I know the !alkoff MDC AA has been mentioned, as well as the low being really low. I thought the same, even though I absolutely like the medium and high, plus the fact that it throws better than any AA I am aware of. I wasn’t happy with the sub-lumen low, but stumbled on an easy fix that...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    I picked up two Foursevens Quarks during the 30% off sale on April 7th. Like the ability to change up battery tubes to match up with the priority for pocketability or runtime.

    Best AA edc flashlight?

    Update: just realized my versions of the lights are V3s, not the PROs (thanks Jonathan!). My comments are valid for the V3, but I have no experience with the PRO. The Sofirn Sp10 Pro (actually V3, not the PRO) is a very nice light, but has a rather significant standby drain issue in my...

    ZL H53 on 14500?

    Thanks for the additional testing Fireclaw. While I will probably use standard AAs more than 14500s in my SC53, it’s good to have additional indications that 14500s are safe to use. I much prefer my lights to multiple chemistry capable and this bumps the SC53 up a few notches in ranking among...

    ZL H53 on 14500?

    Seems more than a few of us were wondering if 14500s were viable in the SC53/H53. Picked up mine new from their website about six months a ago. So assuming they haven't updated the driver or firmware update since, it should be current. Had been meaning to try it with a14500 for a while, but...

    ZL H53 on 14500?

    Some mixed results for your consideration. Don't have an H53 on hand to try it with a 14500, tried a 14500 in the SC53c (should be same driver) and it performed similar to my SC52 and SC52 L2. High was definitely brighter running a 14500 than running with either an NIMH or a 1.5v lithium...

    What's your most trusted light?

    My HDS Clicky or my lightly modded Zebralight SC64w Hi. Inserted a metal ring in the tail cap of the Zebralight and now it will run just about any length 18650, plus now it also fits and works well with two CR123As.

    【Discussion】What's your favorite flashlight and why?

    My most carried is any one of the Olight S minis or S1 minis because they disappear in the pocket, have a good U/I and can provide hours of use at medium or below settings. That said, if I know I am going into the night, it’s normally an HDS Executive it’s 18650 battery tube or a Wurkkos FC11.

    i need a 1 cell aa light!

    As far as the beam profile, the i5T is nearly all flood. I am an unabashed Olight fan, but the i5T’s beam profile (similar to that of my Olight H1R) lacks much in the way of useful throw.

    Single Cell CR123A Lights: What do you use?

    Eagtac D25C mini, a twisty that is happiest with 3.0v (loses medium mode with more than 3.0v), so seldom run rechargeables in it. Swapped the LED to a high CRI LH351D, which also provides a much larger hotspot. Nice for night walks.

    Eagtac DX3B MKII

    I don’t have the DX3B MKII, but have the DX3B, which has the same U/I, so a couple of thoughts. Like a lot of newer tactical lights that try to offer multiple modes, it is really a single mode flashlight for one hand use with the tail cap. That mode can be preprogrammed to either high or the...

    Any suggestion for a Olight SR1 Baton alternative without magnets?

    You might also consider the Acebeam TK16. Very similar interface through a tail switch. No magnet. Just a little bit larger. Choice of three different LEDs depending on your desire (HCRI, Throw or super bright).

    Protected 14500s- what do they fit? Constant Current regulation?

    The keeppower 14500 1000mAh fit in and work in my Frelux Synergy 2 and my EAGTAC D25As. I have both the Keeppower and the Vapecell 1000mAh and prefer the Vapecell as the Keeppowers length (longer than most other AAs and 14500s) limit their compatibility with different lights.

    14500 flashlight? Is this one good?

    The ReyLight is a nice light and is relatively bright on a 14500 on high (about 500 lumens). It has a fairly small reflector, so don’t expect to throw all that far. I have one that I rotate with my other lights and enjoy it for use around the house. More than enough inside or working in the...

    XPL HI 6000K VS 219C?, Concern of low CRI

    I think it comes down to your words, “It has a very good beam and tint however.” If you like it and it works for you, don’t worry about the CRI rating. I used to obsess over that and made many purchases base on CRI rating. However, unless I am trying to differentiate between multiple and...

    I'm searching for a bright zoomie light with an excellent lamp option that's defused

    The only thing that comes to mind is the Nitecore LR12. 18650’s, built-in diffuser that works great, good battery life, and a reasonable amount of throw. However, it is not a zoomie and while the 18650 batteries are all rechargeable, you can’t recharge them while in the LR12.

    4Sevens Mini Turbo MKIII

    I have both the MKII and the MKIII Turbos. While I can’t detect a significant performance difference in outside use, the MKIII wins for edc because of U/I. To get L-M-H with the MKII, you have to select a configuration with strobe, SOS and I don’t want to twist through five modes when all I...
