    Armytek Wizard/Pro Thread

    Thank you for letting me known abut the gap and that it is still functional with it. The C switch is for sure defective. Mind you these are new out of the box. I just got them. The plastic bag they were shipped in is of course ok... It is a... plastic bag... No shipping protection from it the...

    Armytek Wizard/Pro Thread

    I have been wondering between ZL and AT lights for my running needs. After much reading and research, I chose AT and got all 3 lights today. I am actually a bit disappointed. I got all 3 in the pro version V2. The C model has a defective switch that you have to press and squeeze beyond the...

    Black Diamond Spot 2016 - Anybody try?

    Power tap is a missed use marketing term. I wrote "touch" for a reason. Tap is too quick you need to touch it. I haven't had a failed activation or deactivation even when I am bouncing all over the place. I originally used tap and it was intermittent and I was about to return it... Then I slowed...

    Black Diamond Spot 2016 - Anybody try?

    Exactly! Dorky omission! Flood is nice but it also does not turn back on to flood. Just main and red are remembered. Such a well designed light otherwise.

    Black Diamond Spot 2016 - Anybody try?

    I have one. I use it for running (on my head) as well as just general use around the house. I really like it. It is small. total weight with enloop/strap is 3.14 oz. and smaller than 1AA cell popular lamps here. Excellent angle adjustment and stays put on the head without over pressure...

    *NEW* Fenix HP12 (1x 18650/2x CR123, 900 lumens)

    can someone please weight the light portion and the battery portion separately? I would like to know how the weight is distributed. I am still searching for a bounce free lamp for running. It will be waist mounted. The all in one solution although nice, it is heavy and will bounce. I would...

    How to calculate runtime

    Thank you everyone! Awesome info/education. I wish my $$ resource is infinite... I would just buy all 4 lamps I am interested in and run comparisons for the most accurate real world use for me. Unfortunately, I can't. I just want to eyeball the published runtime/level to gauge which light...

    How to calculate runtime

    Thank you both for your explanations. Makes perfect sense. I bring up both 16340 and 18350 due to the armytek C1 spec mentioned a123 / 18350 while zerbralight h32 spec calls for a123/ 16340... I would have to make a decision on battery choice since both are new to me; hence my concern...

    How to calculate runtime

    Hello, I am new. I am looking at headlamps for running in the dark. I am not all that familiar with a123 rechargeable. I have a few questions I hope you all in the know can help out. 1) are 16340 the same as 18350? Which is better (higher cap)? 2) runtime published by makers that uses...

    Any lightweight and powerful recommendation of headlamp?

    I just got my HC30. Nice light. I didn't do research before this purchase. I was running with coast h7 in full flood and a DB spot15 on my head. This was purchased mainly for running and the perhaps replace both lights with just one to simplify my routine. The h7 batt is separate so the...

    *new* Nitecore T360 and HC30

    Just got mine HC30. My first "high end" lamp. With a piece of scotch tape, it diffuses very nicely! The rubber head mount thingy puts the lamp further from the head than it needs so when running (my main use) I need top strap so I don't have to over tighten the head band. I normally wear...
