    petzl Zipka SSC-p4 U Bin mod

    Szemhazai Thread "Tikka XP still dangerous" Is what got me started on playing with these little headlamps. His review on the Tikka plus2 and the tikka xp2 helped allot on getting started on the zipka mod. I was hoping since the Xp2 was brighter and used less power by using a better bin led that...

    petzl Zipka SSC-p4 U Bin mod

    Not sure what p4 came with the stock petzl but wanted to attempt the swap with a SSC - P4 U bin to see what a pita it would be and how well it works. Well I first cut the legs off the led and the pulled off the gel bulb - Used a set of wire cutters and carefully broke off the plastic. And then...

    Petzl Tactikka Xp + Cree XM-L T5 = :)

    Very true! You can see the before and after with a XP-G in the other thread listed above. The XM-L is going to give you more flood then the XP-G. I might change to the cool white XM-L due to the yellow tint of the NW XM-L. The yellow tint does go away with the light on boost.

    Inova X1 gen 5 possible neutral tint?

    This little nuetrual tint Inova gen5 is a great for night hiking. The 6 lumen's and good spill lights up the trail perfectly. I have owned several off the older gen lights and have always gave them away mainly due to only having one mode. I am a big fan off simple two mode light's and inova hit...
