    Nitecore P12 2015 Edition

    Yeah, I saw it. Was thinking the same thing. Still not sure. Also, the "2014" version is available in CW and NW. I still couldn't find any NW "2015"... I'll wait before pulling the trigger.

    "Gold" Mini Maglite questions

    Lucky you! That's a gold plated minimag indeed. I have one and I can tell both by the velvet case and pouch and by the high luster shine near the head. The anodized ones are not as shiny. not even close. :twothumbs congrats!! EDIT: Ow, and it is very easy for you to tell too, the gold plated...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    Thanks cue. Problem is I only have 1 battery pack at this moment. A modded one. After aditional testing, I've concluded it does have some drain issue even when disconnected. It is about 0,01V every 48 hours or so. I have a new battery pack in the mail. When I get it, I will test both the...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    I got the new version as well and have modded it the same way the old one was (Szemhazai's mod - see first post) The emmiters are now Nichia 219 and the battery is 3400mAh. Love it! This version drives the LEDs a bit harder indeed. When comparing both modded units, the new one is visibly...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    Hey CUE, GREAT news! Can't wait to see what's under the hood! Just love mine and it will be great to have an improved version. Just when I thought Petzl was going too slow with the reactive lighting...

    What's up with those Ghost Hunter (TAPS) Folks

    LOL! Yeah! I was thinking the same thing! Also, if you pay attention, they seem to use a different crappy light each episode. some of them are rediculous.

    Polishing Titanium - Not so hard after all.

    I was doing some research on this hoping to find the best way to polish my Ti and came across this video. This guy from Silvera Jewelry School teaches the different tools an techniques used to polish jewelry using a power tool. I think it would also apply to our flashaholic needs. He shows 2...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    Hello Esko, IMO, after using the NAO in a real world scenario, you will not regret it. As for your questions, Szemhazai is THE guy to get your answers from, but I fell that I can answer some of them correctly: - In order to use a generic 18650 you will need to fit a 18650 holder inside the...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    There is one factor that affects the battery life a LOT and that is the angle you select, because of the reactive lighting. Try to set an angle that is just high enough for the light to illuminate the area in front of you. If you set a too high angle, the light will run much brighter than you...

    Suitable replacement switch for Fireworm F1

    Found one! The Sunwayman V11R switch (you get one extra with the light) is an almost direct fit. All you have to do is make the spring longer so it will press against the battery the way it should. Works like a charm! :) And since the V11R can draw quite a current, it should be safe with most...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    You said it, Szemhazai! That is a great advice. I am having so much trouble trying to fit that 18650 holder inside the pack, I'm going crazy. I've reviwed your pictures a hundred times and I still can't believe you were able to fit the holder and the PCB in there just like that. Maybe the holder...
