    Surefire wish list

    Good point, I really regret giving my dad a Nitecore EA4 I had lying around, way too complicated for the old geezer to use as he only uses it a couple of times a year plus it become a potential fire hazard when the light turns on while tucked away as they become very hot very quickly. My...

    Surefire wish list

    Probably the wrong forum section but I would like to see a modern version of my beloved Saint headlamps: - MaxiVision Beam, preferably warm and hi cri - Compatible with IMR18350, IMR16340 and CR123 in compact Minumus configuration - Compatible with 18650 and AA with optional batterypack for...

Fun indeed but also very practical, I've noticed on several occasions that the afterglow provides enough light to put my Surefire away safely when I go asleep in really dark unfamiliar places like a tent, hotel...

    Test/Review of Charger Xtar VC4

    Because micro USB is limited to 1.8A and this charger needs more than that to run at full power. The logical step would be the DC 5.5x2.1mm plug but they already use that size for their 12V adapters, so for safety reasons Xtar went with the 5.5x2.5mm plug, both are very common plug sizes with a...

    XTAR VC4

    Received the VC4 yesterday and it turned out the plug is 5.5x2.5mm, also a very common size but usually reserved for the output port and not the input which is usually 5.5x2.1mm when a 5.5mm plug is used. Not really a problem but this does mean that the PortaPow DC Power Monitor can't be used...

    XTAR VC4

    USB-C is able to deliver 5A at 5 to 20V, so at 5V it can deliver 25W which is double of the current 2.4A / 12W iPad charger. But with USB-C one is no longer limited to just 5V, the mobile device can tell the charger what it needs in voltage and amps so the same charger can also deliver 12V if...

    XTAR VC4

    Because every smartphone and tablet (and most other mobile devices for that matter) comes packaged with such an USB wall charger so instead of using a 12V adapter I don't need for any of my other devices I can now use one of the USB chargers already plugged into the wall at home, or is already...

    XTAR VC4

    I was merely responding to an earlier post where somebody complained about the fact the VC4 doesn't have a micro USB connector. With a 1.6A charger the VC4 should be able to deliver 0.5A on four channels up to a charging voltage of 3.2V (1.6/2.1 times its 4.2V max voltage), my guess is you...

    SureFire St. Minimus headlamp does not turn off

    Choombak, you have the original Minimus where the battery cap is the battery compartment, later the battery compartment became part of the headlight itself with a smaller battery cap (see photo posted by cland72). The older model has a 15 lumen detent (don't know about newer model), sometimes...

    XTAR VC4

    About the cable, micro USB is limited to 1.8A so isn't suited to provide the needed 2.1A for the VC4 to go full throttle so they needed to use something else, just like Apple did with the lightning connector for the iPad which can handle at least 2.4A to charge the giant internal battery within...

    XTAR VC4

    I have the VC2 and will get the VC4 once my go-to-store has it in stock (nkon.nl) but as usual I read manuals / online specs before ordering. For me the choice to go with the VC4 over de D4 is a no-brainer: - Its more powerful - Easier to use - I prefer USB over AC or 12V input (compatible with...

    XTAR VC4

    Berneck, with all due respect I suggest that you read the manuals provided with both chargers as you clearly don't understand their specs and capabilities. Hint, the VC4 is the more powerful charger with a very consistent and controllable output if you A) use a 2.1A USB charger (like the 12W...

    XTAR VC4

    Capacity is measured by either completely discharging a full battery or charging an empty one, the VC2 and VC4 use the latter method.

    K2 LFP123 battery questions

    I think and hope that all their current lights are now compatible with ICR cells so there's no longer a need to sell low voltage LFP cells. For those with old LED lights (like my original Saint and Minimus) with the intention to use rechargeables can still get them on eBay.

    XTAR VC4

    Awesome news, thanks for the link. MSRP is $29.95, also couple of more pics here: http://www.xtardirect.com/collections/chargers/products/xtar-vc4-charger I really like my VC2 so can't wait to buy the VC4 for the extra channels and NiMH support.

    All their rechargeable batteries seem to have disappeared from the site, strange.

    *NEW* Surefire Titan-A (1*AAA, 15/125 lumen)

    In the GoingGear Shotshow video it looks like the Titan is Low/Off/High where the Titan Plus is High/Off/Low. In the vid SureFire also confirmed that the provided AAA will be a SureFire relabeled Eneloop, not mentioned but I expect the Pro 950mAh version.

    *NEW* Surefire Titan-A (1*AAA, 15/125 lumen)

    Ok, more confusing specs from Surefire in the 2015 catalogue: http://www.surefire.com/media/wysiwyg/main_site_pdfs/2015_Full_Line_Catalog_ps.pdf Both models do 2 hours on 15 lumen which makes sense, on high however things get weird as the Titan (product code Titan-A) does 125 lumen for 30...

    surefire 2015 catalog is up

    Wow, Surefire sneaked in a second 18650 light, besides the P1R Peacemaker the R2 Lawman can now also use off the shelf 18650's and even includes one at purchase. Thats not the only update of the 2014 specs however, it's now 600 lumen instead of 800 lumen which IMO is a nice tradeoff for the...
