    Is there really a difference between cheap generic $9-30 zoomable eBay headlamps, "T6", "XHP50", "XHP90", XHP160"? Has anyone compared them?

    Follow up, answering the question, in case this helps someone else. I bought two $9 head lights that each had a zoom mechanism where the length of the housing doesn't change, and both claimed to have a single T6 diode. There was definitely a noticeable difference between them. The green...

    Here is a Makita 18V incandescent DML185 contractor kit light, almost drop in LED bulb reflector upgrade mod.

    If anyone has one of those incandescent Makita work lights with the classic big heads laying around, there is a way to make it look like a stock big reflector LED light with the only power tool being a soldering iron. The Hitachi UB18DEL, which is the newer 500 luminous flux LED version of their...

    My question isn't answered, unless you are suggesting all the cheap lights have about the same output regardless of claimed included bulb. The cheap lights give insane numbers that can not be used as a reference, or considered close to the ball park of what I can realistically expect. Some of...

    I am looking at buying a few zoomable head lamps for a project or two. My concern is how the prices change a bit depending on the claimed bulb included. Are the generic "HXP90" lights actually brighter than the "HXP50" lights that sell for just a few bucks less, or just sucker bait?(ie a...

    Zippo pocket light

    I realize you probably have your answer by now, but if you're still looking, there is a LED light called the "Flip Light" that is an insert for the metal Zippo housings(replaces the lighter insert). It should fit your "Zippo pocket" perfectly. I've had one for a few years now without replacing...

    Where should I post a thread about a modified Makita light I put together, or similar such lights? Also, how to best photograph upgrade results?

    I don't see any categories like "work light," or "tool light," or "power tool battery" so I'm not sure if there is a specific place to post about either strange tool battery powered lights, like the Dr Suessian Worx brand lithium light I imported from Germany, or a Makita DML185 incandescent and...

    What is the best cheap zoom-able headlamp/bike lamp to modify 20V work lights with?

    I am disappointed that a lot of 20V work lights regardless of brand start at $40and have less features, and are often dimmer than a $10 flashlight. Sadly a $10 flashlight doesn't stand on it's own in the wind on a plank of wood. I would like to make a few have spot to flood zoom heads, and if...
