    Fenix Rc40 charging problem

    Have a similar question on charging - brand new RC40, when charging, blue lights 1, 2 and 4 flash - but the third one doesn't. Is this normal behaviour to indicate what the current charge is, or is there something wrong with the third blue light for it to not flash? Just not sure if they should...

    Fenix E01 long-term reliability

    Hey! They're my keys! Except I've got an olive E01 - but damn that looks like my keys :) I'm the guy with the bottle opener on Fridays :)

    FENIX HP10 (NEW HEADLAMP !?)

    Re: Are there any updates on the feNIX headlamp? Cool - looks like a nice first headlamp from Fenix, but I agree with some of the other posters, I would like to see a smaller model, something to replace say my Tikka XP with 1 or 2 AAs. If I can replace that, I will have standardised almost...

    FENIX HP10 (NEW HEADLAMP !?)

    Re: Are there any updates on the feNIX headlamp? Are Fenix bringing out a headlamp? I haven't logged into CPF for a few months so I may have missed it. Any specs? Or is it just speculation at this time?

    Looking at flash memory Camcorders - suggestions please

    Looking to get a camcorder (baby on the way!) - but I've never owned one. From doing some reading, I would like one that records to flash media (SD cards etc) rather than DV or DVD. I like the look of the Canon FS11 (or the upcoming FS22), but apparently the video quality is crap judging from a...

    Energy required to recharge NiMH batteries?

    Does anyone know how to calculate, say in watt hours, the amount of energy required to recharge an average NiMH AA battery? Is there a formula applicable to NiMH, LiPo, etc?

    Jetbeam III Military arrived!

    Thanks for the mini-review - I'm tossing up between one of these or the Fenix TK20. I was set on a Pro-III ST, but am disappointed with the low/med runtimes compared to the regular Pro-III. Decided that if I was going to order a light this size, I'm not likely to EDC it so I don't need the slim...

    search for something better than a TK11

    Won't the upcoming JetBeam Jet-III M (Military) that can take 18650 and CR123s be a contender for an equivalent light to the TK11? They'd need to be properly reviewed to establish which is "better", and that's always subjective.

    Fenix PD30, PD20, LD10 and LD20

    Re: New Fenix models PD30 and PD20. Now why can't they release something like the TK20 with just those 3 levels and runtimes? "FENIX can you hear me"?

    Fenix E20...love or no love?

    Why a flashlight on a boat? I always use a headlamp when fishing in the dark. Two hands free. I would *not* want to be dealing with a thrashing shark on the back of a boat, and having a torch in one hand at the critical moment when you need more light! To the poster above, I don't think...

    Re: JetBeam Jet-II & *Jet-III PRO* IBS Review - RUNTIMES, COMPARISONS + FOCUS SHOTS! Still no review of the Jet-III ST and Ultra, or have I missed it?

    BEAMSHOTS ADDED How To Lose 3/4 Pound and Gain 7000 Lumens in a 5D BEAMSHOTS ADDED

    Re: How To Lose 3/4 Pound and Gain 7000 Lumens in a 5D Would a mod like this be possible for a 4D maglight? Found one the other day while cleaning out moving boxes - was going to through a plain LED upgrade module in it, then I discovered this thread :)
