    Spartanian II and Legion Ii

    I have had a Spartanian II and a Legion II for a while and really like them both. I don't know about other owners/users but for my purposes the UI is ideal. I remember having some problems getting Neofab to reply to e-mails when I was trying to buy them, but now I can't even find any trace of...

    BMW developing laser headlights

    Laser lights I just read a publicity squib that says Laser headlights will be introduced within a couple or three years, that the lights themselves are "1000 times brighter and 100 times smaller" than the traditionally square cells used in LED lights. That's a lot of zeros..... what does anyone...

    Sunwayled V10R Ti or Nitecore EX11.2

    According to the printed specs, for what they're worth, the Sunwayled, Thrunite and Nitecore all have pretty much the same max output, 210, 255 and 200 lumens respectively. Are they all three about the same in max? If they are, it comes down to how easy and convenient they are to use, and for...

    LumensFactory Seraph P7 - would you choose multi-level or single output?

    Without knowing that particular light, or how the different levels are selected, I would suggest that one advantage of the single level light would be that you always know exactly what to expect and would quickly develop the habit of turning it on in such a way as not to blind yourself and to...

    Can the iTP a1 eos take 3.7v RCR123's?

    My A1 has been run on RCRs since it was new and it hasn't complained. But as has been pointed out elsewhere, it gets hot faster than on CR123s when it's on full bore. I haven't found this to be much of a disadvantage because I don't often need to run it on high for more than a few minutes. If it...

    LED vs incandescent considerations

    It appears (and I may well be wrong, here) that LEDs are more efficient in turning watts into lumens... I've read that with LEDs heat is a byproduct of light while with incans, light is a byproduct of heat. Should I draw the conclusion from this that an LED of a given physical size is likely to...

    Seeking incan education

    Please forgive a stranger in a foreign land! I've been dabbling in the LED pool for a couple of years, laboring under impression that, other things being equal (and I know they hardly ever are), LEDs produced more light than incans. I don't know whether this is right or not, or whether it is...

    Forward facing LED lights

    I know car lights aren't flashlights but I thought some people might be interested. I found what I think is the first example of all the forward facing lights on a car being LEDs. This includes turn lights, running lights, daylight running lights (I think), high- and low-beam lights. Each...

    Jetbeam RRT1 or RRT2

    I've got an RRT0 and an RRT 1 and an M2S. For my night walks, if I take any of the Jetbeams, I take the RRT 1 because the RRT 0 just doesn't deliver as much light as I want (not "need", I don't think) and the M2S is a bit longer than I like. Also I particularly like the standby position on the...

    Can Peak make me this?

    How about carrying two Eigers, one with each light level you want? I carry two, both #8s but one with a narrow beam and one with a medium. It's astonishing how pointy the #8 narrow is...... and how quickly they both get hot with 10440 batteries!

    How difficult to turn on/off the 10180/10280 bodies?

    I think the only way it would be possible to turn an Eiger on or off one-handed is it it's on a key ring that holds the battery tube still while you turn the head against the key ring. I've got two of them and it ain't easy even two handed!

    SR 450 A "volume control"

    Hi Curt. Thank you for your nice clear explanation, which I understand. I guess I'm not worrying about normal use, but more about dropping the light, or bashing it against something, in a way that would have no ill effect if there were no volume control or if the volume control were a control...

    SR 450 A "volume control"

    I've just received my SR 450A and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same concern? The knob that controls the light level, the volume control so to speak, seems vulnerable to me. I have no idea how stalwart the spindle is but the knob sticks out a lot and I'm afraid of breaking it off...
