    I regret to inform you...

    My heart aches for the passing of this young American. Thank you for making us all aware of his sacrifice. These messages are not just lines on a webpage on some server somewhere but rather expressions of emotion by a grateful bunch of real people. :mecry:

    4Sevens Quark Round-up Review: Q123, QAA, Q123-2, QAA-2 - RUNTIMES, COMPARISONS, etc

    Thanks selfbuilt, superb job! A thorough and objective review with pros and cons, esp great runtime data. These lights aren't perfect but they do have some selling points. :goodjob: ... and the 17 min 'trip' time is odd with the 123x2... I'll probably grab a 123x1 as a new EDC but it looks...

    REVIEW. MANY REAL BEAMSHOTS: Surefire, Olight, JETBeam, Raidfire, Fenix, Zebralight.

    Fantastic work, thanks for the review ! :goodjob: Would love to know more about the diffusers - was not aware the Surefire F04 will work on Fenix lights like the P2D/P3D as the diameter is different, at least on paper (1.0" vs 0.8"). And I also am unable to find the Olight product(s) for...

    My new P1D CE Q5 Natural

    I doubt Fenix will d/c the P1D - an incredible and unique light that'd be hard to improve upon. The upgrades to the P2D and P3D (now PD20 and PD30) were due - better grip, better switches. But the P1D is just da bomb as it is. StarHalo I love that tritium attachment, very cool. And to the...

    Rechargeable batteries in Fenix single cell lights?

    I've been using the Tenergy RCR123a 3.0v batteries in my P1D Q5 and my P3D Q5 nearly every day for over a year, no problems. I get shorter runtimes than primaries, yeah, but obviously RCRs have their advantages. I get all modes no problem. My P3D on turbo isnt actually as bright as my P1D but...

    Fenix PD20 Comparison Review

    Thanks for the review and the pics ! :thanks: Been waiting to hear/see more about this light and kinda wondering why there isn't much excitement about the redesign - relative to the Nitecores for example. This looks like a great light to me ! Hoping someone is able to do some runtimes and...

    1xCR123A/RCR Round-up Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, & more!

    Re: Any news for us on the PD20 & 30 ? Sure hope 4sevens sent you a PD20 sample, selfbuilt. Anxious to read your take on the beam, runtime, grip... Hmm I guess that is a hint to do a review :poke: Thanks for all your great work !

    COMPARED!! New Fenix PD20 (Q5) vs. Old Fenix P2D-CE (P4/Q2?)

    Thanks for the early look ! :thumbsup: Amazing beamshots - I'm one of those folks that prefers a bit more spill so I don't jump up and down about the need for smooth reflectors. Doesn't that beam make smooth reflector pretty much unnecessary ? Glad you pointed out the rough spots on the...

    1xCR123A/RCR Round-up Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, & more!

    selfbuilt do you happen to have a P1D Q5 that you could add to the above comparison? Most interested in the diff btw that and the EX10. I realize the mechanisms are different but brightness, beam and runtime data would be interesting for these two mini-powerhouses. Keep up the great work ...

    NiteCore D10 & EX10 Reviews: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, COMPARISONS & more!

    Superb work, selfbuilt. You da greatest. :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: Hopefully the Nitecore folks will be addressing the brass ring-contact issue with the next batch. The lube issue we can all deal with ourselves. I'll be buying at least a couple of both lights. ...and waiting for the...

    NiteCore D10 Comparison Review

    Super job, great review. :kewlpics:

    Fenix P1D-CE - your opinions?

    I love my P1D Q5 - unbelieveably bright, basically indistinguishable from my P3D Q5 in brightness and throw (though I think I may have ended up with a subpar P3D). Had it on me every day for over a year, never disappointed, and lots of "wow"! by onlookers along the way. Works great with RCRs...

    1xCR123A/RCR Round-up Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, & more!

    Great stuff, selfbuilt, you've done it again ! :rock: I doubt I am alone in antipating the day when your post has an amendment to the title "Updated with EX10 info and runtimes" :thanks:
