    REVIEW: Fenix HL23 headlamp

    When I bought the HL23, the HL50 wasn't on the market yet. AA has by the way some specific advantages over CR123. If you are for instance somewhere deep in Africa or something, you can better have a light that runs on the well available AA battery. @Joseph Mosser: check...

    REVIEW: Sigma Sport Speedster frontlight

    Now that you say it I think it's a combination of the optics, it's quite thick plastic, and the heatsink (including the outer aluminium of the head). What I noticed is that all the weight is in the aluminium head. I do not know what li-ion battery is used, but looking at the output and runtime...

    REVIEW: Sigma Sport Speedster frontlight

    Nice to hear you appreciate it. Well that's the thing, for example the B&M Ixon IQ premium, which has about the same output and runs on 4 AA's, weighs only ~60 grams more and has 3x the runtime. So the Speedster is I think a bit heavy for what you get.

    REVIEW: Fenix HL23 headlamp

    I have almost finished a review of a well known bicycle headlight, that has by the way also not been reviewed before. Look for it in the bicycle section.

    REVIEW: Fenix HL23 headlamp

    Thanks! I indeed have been reading it for some time. I used CPF mainly as a source for reviews now and then. Then I saw no one had reviewed this light, and someone even complained about it. I am quite a gadget freak and focus on the product details, so I thought heck I make a review about it.:grin2:

    REVIEW: Fenix HL23 headlamp

    I use firefox and just dragged and dropped the images into the post. But it seems that doesn't go very well. I'd love to edit my post and fix it, but editing is impossible! :duh2: EDIT: first post fixed :grin2:
