    OE Vehicle Lighting That Makes You Go "Ugh"

    That is true, there's some annoying regs over there and in general it seems, a lot more regulations overall that influence design. Virgil's explanation of the Audi swipe is excellent. The issue is not the color, intensity, position or the swiping motion. The issue is the dimension as he...

    Cars, Man

    Just upgraded to a bigger/nicer TDI. Comfy, quick and 35mpg. The Jetta Cup car looks/drives great, just wanted something nicer.

    OE Vehicle Lighting That Makes You Go "Ugh"

    My "ugh" is the US lighting regulations. They're are so many lighting technologies/designs that are available across the pond but not legal in the US simply due to some sort of law that only looks at one dimension. One example is Audis "swipe" amber rear turn signals. The swipe is...

    Stream light

    Made to a higher standard? Please, I'm let down by more American products than anything. Made in America is nothing more than marketing to many companies, to save money they hire mouth breathers but the package can still say Made in USA so everyone feels good inside. People act like workers in...

    Disassembling Zebralight w/o damage.

    I'm not too good with these little things, bigger stuff is okay but when I need my magnifier it gets tricky. I'll post a picture up. The grey stuff came off no problem, theres a blob of red in the center though that does not come off easily. I use NCR18650B Panasonics in mine. It does get...

    Disassembling Zebralight w/o damage.

    I originally used an ultrafire 18650 that measured shorter than Zebralights limit. Later I tried panasonic unprotected 18650's with no luck. The light does not run on the bench for me. The light itself will if you bypass everything, but otherwise I can't get anything. Have 3.75v coming from...

    Disassembling Zebralight w/o damage.

    I don't know what went wrong. I bought the light just before we got busy in fields and such. I was going to return it but ZL wouldn't until I bought batteries from them and tried them first. I didn't feel like dealing with all of the hassle at that time, wasn't a high priority. Things dont slow...

    Disassembling Zebralight w/o damage.

    I purchased an H600w Zebralight a little over a year ago. After a week or two it started getting pretty finnicky and quit before I got to use it for a month. I wasn't a heavy user at the time. Talked with Zebralight and they said the batteries were likely the issue, they said to buy some...

    UL Listed CFL's start plenty of fires.

    Ordering LEDs direct from China (AliBaba/AliExpress)

    Yeah its pretty easy to get a feel for it all, at least with the 12v stuff there isn't a lot of variation. Most are offering the same stuff. If you were really getting into it with big orders or having things built for you then a couple hundred bucks will hire an inspector to go and check up on...

    Buying LED displays from Shenzhen - need guidance!

    I deal with the Chinese companies making 12v work lights and the quality is actually pretty impressive when you consider what someone like Rigid or Vision X gets for one. Finding a true manufacturer to deal with is the best. Many of the people are just resellers and don't have the best...

    Ordering LEDs direct from China (AliBaba/AliExpress)

    I do a lot with Chinese LED work lights for 12v stuff. The quality there is worse than something like rigid only vision X but also 20 times less money. It's not poor to the point of unsafe IMO it's just a little crude around the edges. I took apart an 80w one tonite. I'll need to get more...

    Zebralight H600w Issues

    Thanks for the response, thats what I was afraid of somewhat. I ended up getting an H602W in the meantime, it works fine with both batteries. I swapped the tailcap to the H600w and nothing changed. Guess I'll have to send it out. The H602 works better for a lot of my stuff but I'd still like the...

    PD35 — P12 — TN12

    Just got a P12 today because I wanted an EDC 18650 light. It's a little big for what I wanted but I was okay with that however the clip is located too low to fit in my pocket and let me close the flap, this along with the clip being pretty weak and the light just being bulky to begin with kinda...

    Haven't received my order from Zebralight!? [Resolved]

    Re: Zebralight stole from me!? I agree with the others about asking paypal for help possibly. I would also send a link to this thread to Zebralight. Many companies could care less if joe blow is pissed, but if he's on the internet suddenly they resolve the issue quickly. Doesn't matter if...
