    Need a peak eiger clip

    Can't speak to the others, but the Dark Sucks clip is fantastic.

    how to contact Peak?

    No - at least not without some effort or compromise. Options are (1) drill a small hole in the momentary button to accommodate a small ring, or (2) install a pocket clip with a hole drilled for the same purpose. Neither of these works all that well. A short, tightly wound (Stormdrane quality)...

    Logan Battery question

    Lithium Ion batteries are a nominal 3.7v but actually come off a charger at around 4.2v. All of these 16340's (or RCR123's) are fine for the Logan, except for IMR batteries which have reduced internal resistance and therefore allow a much higher current drain at the same voltage. You'll love...

    EDC Flashlight That Supports AA, CR123 & 18650?

    Peak Night Patrol (with an extension) can take multiple AA's, 14500's, CR123's and the 18650. But "fairly compact" won't permit such flexibility. A single 1.5v AA might not provide much output (if any) in some lights built around LiIon's.

    Peak Eiger and 10440 question What do you use?

    The AW 10440's were undoubtedly the best thing ever to happen to the Eiger. I keep hoping that enough noise on CPF will bring them back. That being said, the Eiger still deserves a LiIon battery - any Lithium Ion is better than none. I've used them all, IMR's included. At either the lower (old...

    Eiger / Eiger X Protected Lithium cells

    Voltage is everything when higher output is desired. Eneloops typically start out well below 1.5v; Energizer Lithiums usually start out at around 1.7v; 10440's, although nominally 3.7v actually charge up to 4.2v. Any two cell penlight body will allow for voltage between 2.4v and 3.4v. A single...

    Peak Eiger - Guidance needed!

    Also note that batteries can vary considerably in overall length. With a shorter battery it is necessary to turn down the twisty a bit further so that the total momentary travel covers the range from off to high. With a longer length 10440, you can still get a ton of light even without reaching...

    Anything new?

    Peak Shoe Lights! 800 lumen throwers over each big toe; red leds with a programmable tap three times user interface in the heels; and maybe a couple of hi cri yellow suckers on the sides. Available in men's sizes 11-13. Or maybe something better.

    Eiger or Eiger Ultra ?

    There is quite a bit of difference between these two Eiger heads, but that difference is really most significant only when higher performance 3.7v lithium ion batteries are used - or when voltage is doubled in the incredible penlight body. At the lower 1.5v alkaline or 1.2v Eneloop voltage...

    Where can I get a Peak Eiger Ultra X ?

    The IMR10440 also drives the UltraX just fine. And until the voltage drops off, the X will also run in a Peak penlight with two Energizer Lithiums although their combined voltage is still too low to allow full performance.

    Quality LED Penlight Suggestions?

    Need "penlight" with a lot of lumens!

    Consider a Peak Eiger 2XAAA Penlight fitted with an Eiger Ultra head and a momentary switch. Plenty of lumens and very good throw for a compact light - more than adequate for easily lighting up house numbers, street signs, etc. Fits nicely in a shirtpocket next to an Iphone. I believe Bob at...

    Peak Eiger QTC Nichia 219 w/ Momentary -- checking Pupil Reflexes

    Exactly. And although the "pill" in which the QTC material is enclosed is significantly larger, the QTC material itself (which is all that is compressed) measures only about 1mm in thickness. Using the lower voltage Eneloops will certainly keep the maximum light output down. And specifying the...
