SIMON LEONE
Newly Enlightened
Greetings all
I have always been in love with my Petzl Duo.We survived a couple of adventures in the past.
Because of it's ultra rugged body it could keep up much longer
than lots of other headlamps. I saw lots of headlamps fail during the years.
Also I have been in love with it I was a little sad ... everyone who has ever seen the poor halogen beam knows what I mean.
But I accepted all those disadvantages just because it's the most durable headlamp I know (and that will not bankrupt you)
I was looking for other headlamps but I wasn't able to find one I would accept as a legal successor for my DUO.
So I decided to mod my DUO. This was also the beginning of my serious awakening interest to flashlights.
I moded it last year a long time before I found the CPF ... it would have been a lots easier for me if came across this amazing forum here before.
I was an absolute newbie and I still think I'm one but at least I know what you are all talking about and it's not like Chinese if you were talking about "Q5" and 18650's
... enought introduction
It's a CREE XR-E P4 LED Module on the right side (facing the engine)
that offers 7 different lighting modes: 5 levels of dimming and both SOS and Strobe modes.
On the left is a 14 Led Module that offers 3 different lighting models
All is powered by 4X AA Lithium Batteries or 3000 mAh rechargeables
for the runtimes of the Cree Module just check out... yeah it's the one I used... http://www.huntlight.net/en/displayproduct.html?proID=604916
And also I use AA's I have pretty much the same results
The Duo is awesome now to me it's the best Headlight I have owned so far
It's ultra solid and therefore a lightweight it's waterproof and so far it has survived all the exertions it was set out ....
just thought to tell you this
Later that week I'll add some beam shots of the two modules and I also want to give some more precise information about the runtime
best regards !!
and sorry for my poor English
