    Review: Imalent HR20 XP-L HI Rechargeable Headlamp

    I recently bought two of these headlamps. First one was the "Neutral White" version and the tint was way too yellow-orangish - it was quite dramatic. I returned that one for the Cool White version and the tint is fine as far as I'm concerned. This is by no means a perfect headlamp but it seems...

    UNBELIEVABLE! 2,300 Lumen Head Lamp!

    Yes I wonder how the throw distance compares between these two lights. I realize the Olight is not designed to be a thrower, but with 2300 lumens can it do better than the HR20?

    Replacement for LED Lenser Headlamp?

    I see the clone you spoke of on the Dealextreme site as well - $17.90 is a great price and hopefully it is constructed better than the Lenser. Thanks for your help Mike.

    Replacement for LED Lenser Headlamp?

    I won two LED Lenser headlamps and like them a great deal in terms of the adjustable focus and variable brightness abilities. I also like their light weight and small profile. My wife and I both use them on a daily basis here in the rural hinterlands where we live. However these headlamps are...

    Trying to Mount Maelstrom G5 on Marlin 1894

    I have a Maelstrom G5 that I would like to mount under the mag tube on my Marlin 1894. I tried my Tacstar flashlight mount but the head of the light is too large in diameter for it to work, as in the mount doesn't hold the light away from the mag tube far enough for the head to clear. Are you...

    What's with Oracle/AAC Customer Service?

    I understand that perspective, but since this generation of batteries had known issues I thought it was a little tacky to not give my friend a grace period of a couple of days..

    What's with Oracle/AAC Customer Service?

    A good friend purchased an Oracle 24W on my recommendation last year and he just had the battery malfunction on him. Apparently the battery will not hold a charge. He called AAC to see about a replacement and was told the warranty had expired - it had just expired, within days. The salesman...

    Which Headlamp w/Green LED's for Hunting?

    I am looking for a headlamp with the option of green led's for walking to and from my hunting area. I seem to see after doing some web searching that green led's disturb deer the least. I suppose that is debatable by some but nonetheless what headlamp would you recommend with this option that is...

    Less expensive light similar to DBS V3R2 needed

    Hello - I happily own a DBS V3 R2 (I think I have that right..) that is mounted on my M1 carbine and would like to replace it with a less expensive but still very bright and rugged light. What would you recommend that has a similar body diameter, length and light output? Could be an MC-E, if it...

    FENIX HP10 (NEW HEADLAMP !?)

    I was really excited about this light, but it does not really seem to improve markedly on the Apex Pro that I already have. Oh well, I'll have to wait for Princeton Tec to upgrade the Apex again..

    I'll try this again... how does this light compare to the Apex in terms of light output / throw? Anyone?

    FENIX HP10 (NEW HEADLAMP !?)

    SO.. DOES THIS REALLY BLOW AWAY THE APEX PRO IN TERMS OF LIGHT OUTPUT / THROW DISTANCE? IS THIS THE ONE?
