Mules anyone?

Decided to get new "hats" for my Eigers. Really like their High CRI Mules. Beautiful floody light.
Lucky to have gotten the copper.

Had one on the little guy too.

I love the Mules lights so much one of my favorites setup. Those looks awesome specially the copper one!

Yep fan here, just some of mine

I like the form factory of this little guy. Is he still available and what does Peak call it?

I don't use mules too often, but I do have a few interesting ones.



I like this one especially because of the CR2 form factor.



And this one has an interesting RGBW emitter.

Them are nice. Love peak

Not sure if they still have leftovers. Need to contact them.
It's a 10180 body. Heads are all the same. Before you jump in, make sure you can find a way to charge the battery.
I'm still trying to figure out.

Likewise, thank you.

Got to love a bit of SS L2T

I have a Zebralight H502c that I use as my night-stand light... works perfectly for that.

Always wodered why they are called "mules"?

JUST saw that ZL has a H503c model... but no specs yet other than Samsung LH351D emitter. Interesting...

fortean101,
I coined the term mule a while back because I needed a name for a light and I wanted that name to reflect the nature of the light. I perceive the mule as an animal that just does its work with no glamor. Nothing to brag about. Unlikely to be any contestant; what contest? ....

I EDC one H502w for whenever I want a 40watt bulb worth of smooth even brightness, running off a 14500 or an AA.

I also use an H502r (with the XPE red color) as an extra Blinky-light on my ankle when I am riding my bike. Wide beam so that cars can see me from many angles.

I love mules and the quality of light that they put out. Unfortunately, they lack versatility: if I can have only *one* light, it would never be a mule. That's why I EDC the H502w along with an H52w and an SC64wHI. And the mule is the first I leave behind if I have to slim it down.

(Then again, if I could restrict myself to one light, I would not be on this forum.)

I have not found a use for my Atom AL Mule, the beam is too wide for the applications I have tried.. tailstanding on a table the sidelight gets in my eyes. At close range it throws sidelight that is unnecessary.
mule left, aspheric similar to sundrop right


I like a beam with no hotspot, as a headlamp and for close range.
I seem to prefer a lens that pulls the edges in, like the McGizmo Sundrop.

and some of the Sofirn C01 w Yuji:
(the ones with less reflective cones (left), that do not produce a hotspot
