    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Oh, and thanks to @jabe1 (better late than never 😉) for recommending the ThruNite TH20 Pro. I had to use it again yesterday and am very pleased with it.

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Tried it out around the house and it's pretty nice. We're rural so we have to scan the yard before letting the dogs out and keep an eye on them. Our go-to light for this is a Wuben L50. For the heck of it, I used the ThruNite TH20 Pro. For all practical purposes, one lit the yard up as good as...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    OK, she arrived yesterday and I charged up the cell. Simple, easy to use, very bright (for my needs), and seems comfortable to wear. I like it so far. I would like to get a backup 14500 cell or two. I think I'm going to like this style of headlamp and there may be a Zebralight in my future. I'd...

    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    Well Bob, to each his own. If you're happy with what you have and how you're doing things, far be it from me to tell you to change. As for myself, I wouldn't be without one. For me, it was like going from an outhouse, which worked perfectly well for many, many decades, to inside plumbing. They...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    You have the correct link except I bought mine on Bezos' Circus with a discount coupon. Less than $23 out the door. I do have a charger. The various built-in chargers in things are nice but I prefer a dedicated charger. To add, I got the neutral white. I do not like anything past 3 to 4,000 K.

    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    @Bob A This is just my 2¢ worth and I’m no portable light expert or flashlightaholic. I am just an end user who gets most of his tech info from the kind and knowledgeable folkshere. Honestly, the first time I tried one I said aloud “baby, where have you been all my life”. How many times I...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    @NRiyo3 I have no doubt that you're correct. Honestly, I ordered the ThruNite TH20 Pro because it was half the price and I'm not a heavy user. Now, if that doesn't hold up well, then I'll pop for the Zebralight and undoubtedly become sold on them. @PaladinNO I'll head over to that thread in a...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    @jabe1 thank you. Apparently my eyes are going as well as my mind. I ordered it and with a coupon got it for less than $23 out the door. @DaveTheDude the Zebra light looked great but for half the price I had to go with the ThruNite TH20 Pro. Perhaps the Zebra is better but I'm not a heavy duty...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Thanks for the assistance, there's a lot to look at. It would appear that I'm more accustomed to a lamp akin to the Fenix HL16 style. I have no experience with setups like the Zebralight and ThruNite. How well do the hold the light in place and how long does that last? (Reference pic below)...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Greetings. I'm looking for some input on headlamps as the switch on mine is starting to go. My uses are household repairs, reading, and some light mechanic work. I've had Black Diamond units before. My current one is an Astro, 150 lumens, dimmable, the light tilts (a must), one switch, and runs...

    UltraTac K1 Query

    Thank you, @Monocrom, that's exactly the info I was looking for. BTW, how do you like yous? I found the switch took a bit of getting used to, however I find it's certainly bright enough.

    UltraTac K1 Query

    I just picked up an UltraTac K1 Keychain Flashlight. According to the specs, it can use various AAA cells of 1.5v or 3.7v. What I cannot find is any information relating to the difference in brightness and possibly run time if a 10440 cell is used. Is it enough of a difference to make a...
