    LOOP SK03 Pro EDC Torch Review

    LOOP GEAR kindly sent the aluminium LOOP SK03 Pro for review a few months ago. It's a fun AA/14500 EDC torch. Here is my review: https://timmcmahon.com.au/posts/loop-sk03-pro/

    XTAR MX4 Charger (1.2V Ni-MH, 1.5V Li-ion, 3.6/3.7V Li-ion, 3.2V LiFePO4)

    XTAR kindly sent the MX4 for review earlier in this year. The XTAR MX4 (Mini Mixer) can take a mix of four 1.2V Ni-MH, 1.5V Li-ion and 3.6/3.7V Li-ion batteries and charge them at the same time. There is also a special LiFePO4 Charging Mode for charging 3.2V LiFePO4 batteries. Please note: I...

    SkyRC MC3000 alternative? Gyrfalcon S8000

    Enova kindly sent the Gyrfalcon S8000 Battery Charger and Analyzer for review earlier in the year. There's a micro USB port that can be used to update the firmware. Enova has provided half a dozen updates while adding features and fixing things. I tried to follow HKJ's setup for testing...

    Recommend a practical LEP.

    LEP lights have a more intense beam. Here's a video that I made while visiting an LEP factory:

    Has Zebralight been supplanted flood headlamp?

    I'll see if I can do a review of the H600Fc Mk IV like my review of the H53FcN. It'll be after visiting China in April due to other commitments beforehand.

    ReyLight Pineapple Mini Orange Review

    It's worth noting that I enabled mode memory, selected 50% with one NiMH AAA and then swapped the battery before doing a runtime test.

    ReyLight Pineapple Mini Orange Review

    I'm using two eneloop pro AAA BK-4HCCE made in 2023. I have only been using these two batteries for runtime testing in the past 12 months. They haven't had much use. Here are some results of my older Pineapple Mini Green: Cell Mode Amps at start Lumens @turn on Lumens @30 sec Lumens @10 min...

    ReyLight Pineapple Mini Orange Review

    I bought the aluminium ReyLight Pineapple Mini as soon as I saw it available in orange (perfect for my orange EDC). The tailcap and driver have changed. It has a Nichia 519A. And the 10440 cell has a 350mAh capacity instead of 320mAh. Here's my review...

    NEXTORCH TA20 Tactical Torch Review

    NEXTORCH kindly sent the TA20 for review. It is a 16340 sized tactical torch with an orange-peel reflector and an OSRAM P9 emitter. The rotary switch on the head is for selecting the mode (Tactical, Duty, Lock) while the two-stage tail button allows direct access to High and for the level...

    Acebeam Terminator M2 EDC Torch Review

    Here are more photos of the spotlight emitter to help with identifying. My written review includes amateur test results from my DIY lumen tube for lumen measurements and runtimes, beam distance from a light metre, etc. I took the product photos using a white box and an old Sony RX100M2.

    Acebeam Terminator M2 EDC Torch Review

    Acebeam kindly sent the green Acebeam M2 (Cool White) for review. I asked for the cool white version (my bad). I was pretty happy with it until I did a side-by-side comparison with Darren Yeo's black Acebeam M2. The black version has three Nichia 519A 5000K emitters. The floodlight is much...
