    Recommendations for a headlamp for jungle hike under $100?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I had credit at B&H so I picked up a Fenix HP30R. I hope it works well..only thing I don't like is the headlamp cant swivel up any higher, only down. At least the H60R could swivel in either direction.

    Recommendations for a headlamp for jungle hike under $100?

    So its been just over a year since Ive made this post. Ive been on quite a few trips and have been using a Fenix TK35 flashlight and a Fenix HL60R headlamp. I am very happy with my flashlight...in fact I use it almost exclusively, and just use the headlamp when needed. One thing I noticed with...

    Recommendations for 4 battery 18650 compact charger?

    Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for a 4 battery 18650 charger. Id like it to be able to be used with an outlet (not usb), and provide a full charge to all batteries at the same time. I saw a nice Xtar one but based on the reviews, it only fully charges 2 at a time. I only use my...

    What settings on Xtar WP2H for AA Eneloop batteries?

    I got these at Costco, and I think they had a pack that included a charger for $30 or so including batteries, so may just get that instead and be done with it.

    What settings on Xtar WP2H for AA Eneloop batteries?

    I got a 10 pack of Eneloop batteries. Im just wondering on the WP2H charger, can I set both the amps and voltage to the middle settings, or should they be changed compared to charging my 18650 batteries? Thanks,

    2 battery wall charger and decent 18650 batteries?

    Thanks, I am very happy with the purchases minus the fact that the charger on ebay didnt ship until I emailed them a week later asking for tracking info. Batteries came half charged, I think, so I was able to test out the flashlight. Looking forward to using it in the field.

    2 battery wall charger and decent 18650 batteries?

    So I picked up the two 18650 batteries linked in the second post as welll as the xstar charger. I kept the voltage thing on the side in the middle position and did the amps at .50. I charged them overnight. One was green and the other battery was still red. Is it normal to take over 8 hours to...

    Recommendations for compact bright light under $100 for rainforest

    Too many options!! I actually work about 10 minutes away from B&H in NYC which has the light for $95...somehow even cheaper than ebay or amazon. I only have 1 18650, but since its such a no name brand that came with a $15 flashlight, I was looking at possibly getting a 4 pack of Panasonic 3400...

    Recommendations for compact bright light under $100 for rainforest

    I agree there's no rush... think I will end up with the zebralight 600w for sure.. seems like most well rounded option.

    Recommendations for a headlamp for jungle hike under $100?

    This is is very true, I usually find myself using my flashlight at the "widest" setting when hiking in the jungle. Perhaps a flood headlamp and a more beamy flashlight would be a good combo
