    Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision"

    Re: Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision" Two quick clarifications: 1) I can attest that the difference between the OEM halogen bulbs and the LED DRLs as depicted in the video which I posted is completely accurate. I have a 2016 Accord sitting in my driveway and mine is every...

    Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision"

    Re: Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision" You've kind of answered the meat of my question...based on my previous experience with the Osram Night Breaker Unlimited, I was planning to go that route. But read the buzz about the X-treme Vision, which lead me to rethink my decision...

    Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision"

    Re: Philips "Vision" vs "VisionPlus" vs "X-treme Vision" Bumping this older thread as I'm looking to upgrade my low beam headlight bulbs.... I have a 2016 Accord which uses an H11 halogen bulb in a projector housing. Being that the car is new, the housings are in perfect condition. I'd like...

    EDC for use with concealed pistol

    I just got an Olight S1 Baton from Dazed1's group buy thread here. It might be a good option because it's super tiny and super easy to use. The button is on the side and has a simple on/off. To change modes, press and hold the button to cycle through the 3 brightness levels. And there's a quick...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    Final update: DXsoul is sending me a replacement Sipik. They first offered me a $2 refund but I really just want a light that works. I'm glad that they were willing to ship a replacement and I hope the replacement isn't damaged/defective too. Those are pretty amazing lights for the price. I...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    Another update: I received the Sipik SK6 lights today. That shipping time wasn't too bad from DXsoul.com. Except one of them is DOA. The zoom doesn't quite work right and there's a rattle inside. So it seems that there's something broken with the lens. We'll see how they handle the RMA on...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    Another update... The Eagletac D25C arrived today. What a cool little light! It's super light and the shiny Ti finish will make it easy to find in the center console. I almost wanted my wife to hate it so that I could keep it for myself. :D The UI isn't too bad to use. I think my wife is...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    I understand that. I think I'd rather have a pile of lithium batteries on hand instead, though. It's been my experience that the portable battery packs tend to discharge by themselves pretty easily. I don't feel confident just letting them sit for years without being topped off every few...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    As a follow up, I received my Amazon package yesterday! In it was the Olight T25 and the Nitecore Tube. My initial impressions of the Olight are disappointing, though. In terms of build quality and beam, it seems like a really nice light. But I don't like the UI at all. I thought that it...

    Anything better than these? Inexpensive LED for car/house

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    DXSoul showed shipping in ~15 days. I think it's like a US based site, and maybe US based warehouse for DX. So I'm hoping for a shorter wait. But if it winds up being a month, so be it. They had the black Sipik SK68 for $4.xx. I decided I wanted the blue instead and was ok with an extra few...

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    Orders placed! Thanks all! I wound up ordering the following: Eagletac D25C Ti from GoingGear for the wife's car (a little over budget at $40 but still a great price). I like the bright silver color to make it easier to find and the reports of durability. Also I like the CR123 battery for...

    PMed - Thank you!

    Thanks for saving me from Ultrafire danger. :) I didn't know that DX has a new US-based site that seems to have faster shipping estimates. Would this be the ticket? http://www.dxsoul.com/product/sipik-sk68-cree-q3-wc-120-lumen-convex-lens-led-flashlight-black-1-aa-1-14500-901039585#.VhQ-BvkzaUm

    Inexpensive emergency lights

    I search Amazon for that and get this Ultrafire result: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006E0QAFY/?tag=cpf0b6-20 Is there a difference between the Sipik and Ultrafire? Or is it just labeling? I like that $3-6 price for the emergency bags. And for that price, I'd buy a bunch to scatter around too.
