    Replacing cracked lens on Nitecore HC30?

    Has anyone attempted to replace a lens on an HC30? I searched the threads on lens replacement and found a string on people sending Zebralights back to the company for repairs, but nothing for Nitecore. Nitecores warranty does not cover excessive dropping. I dropped mine from about 3 feet and...

    Anyone have the Nitecore HC30W?

    First I'd like to say thanks for the bottle cap diffuser idea. It works great on my new HC30W. I need to find a way to make it more secure. A thicker bezel on the HC30W would make attachments a possibility. I've enjoyed comparing the Nitecore HC30W to my Zebralight H600W MKII. Here's some...

    Nitecore HC30 vs. Zebralight H600w MK II?

    I bought the HC30 this week as a gift for friend. I was too curious to not test the light before I deliver it :) . I have a Zebra light H600w to compare the two. With just my natural vision to compare the lights and no meters, I would say they both have similar throw and spill. The HC30's...

    Cateye Volt 6000

    Sweet light.....6000 lumens seems like overkill on mountain bike trails, so they could lighten it up quite a bit and still make a very bright light.

    Fenix BT30R

    What else can you tell me about the BC30 ? Based on what I saw on the L2D specs, the BC30 will be huge performance improvement. Your L2Ds give a max output of 215lumens. The BC30 does 1200 lumens sustained with 1800 burst (with the included remote). I ride with the 1200 mode almost always at...

    Fenix BT30R

    i ride with the Fenix BC30 on my handlebars as a flood. It has very similar specs as the BT30, and is $50 less expensive. I prefer using 18650 batteries and I carry a couple extra sets for longer rides. For fast night rides, I recommend complementing a flood light on your bars with a helmet...

    *new* Nitecore T360 and HC30

    Looks like the famous auction site is selling it for $59.99 with free shipping from China (+ a really long wait 3-4 weeks).

    Zebralight H600 MK II (Spot and Fill) vs H600F (Floody) vs H602 (no reflector) beams

    I'm looking to buy the H600 and read about the upcoming MKIII from CPF posts. I emailed Zebralights yesterday and received this update below. I tried to pin down a release date, but they don't have one yet. At least it should happen before November. User/Date Message Customer 8/17/2015...

    18650 Spot Headlamp suggestions for mountain biking ?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. It's good to know the compromises of with going to a single cell setup so I can set my expectations accordingly. I'll probably stick to what I have on my bike and deal with the cable on my helmet. I'll pick up powerful single cell headlamp as a backup...

    18650 Spot Headlamp suggestions for mountain biking ?

    Hi - I've learned to love headlamps for mountain biking. It's nice to have the freedom of light after a work in the winter. I currently use a Fenix BC-30 (1200 lumen flood) for my handlebars and a Fenix BT-20 (750 lumen) for my helmet both use 2x18650. From reading CPF, I learned about...
