    [Review] - Magicshine Allty 1000 Bike Light 1000 lm CW + NW 21700 4000mAh - by Lock

    Great review. The only problem I can see is that it doesn't have a great beam pattern for on-road cycling.

    Headlamp

    Hi All, My old Black Diamond Storm died and I need a new light. LED: neutral tint and high cri would be great. And a red LED. Lumens: 150 would be sufficient. Run time matters more to me than 1000s of lumens. Batteries: AAA, AA or 18650. USB charging. Weight: Not too heavy, but no need for it...

    Fenix BC21R replacement mount, and rear light question

    Hello All! I have a fenix BC21R and the mount is, I suspect, about to snap. What can I use to replace it? Is there a screw-on version that's more secure? I like the light a lot, but the mount isn't great... Also, I need a new rear light. I want something bright, and with an irregular flash that...

    Keychain light

    This looks interesting, but I'm concerned about the lockout problem that people have been discussing.

    Keychain light

    This looks ok. Is is better than the Fenix e99 (it was an E99 not an E05 (I have an e05) that I bought before, sorry for the confusion)? I really want something that's good quality.

    Keychain light

    Hello All! I bought a Fenix E05 titanium for someone and it seems to have failed (battery drains even when the light isn't on). I also have an E05 that I'm happy with, but I'm now looking for a better quality AAA to replace the gift that stopped working. 1) How would you prefer to purchase the...

    4xAA Round-up Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEOS, PROS & CONS, and more!

    Thanks so much for this. I've been reading through all your AA reviews, so this is perfect. I've pretty much narrowed my choice to the Sunwayman D40A or the Nitecore EA41. Is the better runtime of the Nitecore due entirely to being less bright? I wonder if I can live with the Fenix's turbo mode...

    New EagleTac Lights for this holiday season

    1x10440 with the D25AAA could be what I need.

    *new* Olight S10R, S15R and S20R

    My friend's an engineer, so maybe not a flashaholic, but I'm not too worried about the battery aspect.

    Bumping my question... :)

    Keychain?

    Thanks all. I went for a Fenix e05 which finally arrived. Works very nicely indeed. I can imagine in a while I might want something a step up, but it's so small I can forget about it on my keychain, and that's exactly what I wanted. Many thanks for all the advice.

    *new* Olight S10R, S15R and S20R

    I'm looking to buy a light for a friend's present. Is the s10r small enough to use as a keychain? I know it's no Fenix e05, but does anyone have an s10r on their keychain? Does it charge ok attached to a keyring? Also, any advice on avoiding the problems with the early models' charger when it...

    Keychain?

    Ah yes I see the problem about the missing mid-range mode. So in terms of light and runtime: Maratac AAA: 138/40/1/.5 for 1/7/55 Thrunite Ti3: 120/12/.04 for .5/6/115 Fenix LD02: 100/25/8 for .75/4/14 Fenix E05: 85/25/8 for 1/4.25/14.5 Preon P1: 84/8/2 for 1/6/23 Olight i3s: 80/20/.5 for...

    Keychain?

    I've been reading for a day or so, so let me ask this differently. I want a keychain torch. AAA or smaller. Is there anything better than ThruNite Ti3 for the price, or nearly the price? Also, can I run the ThruNite Ti3 with 10440s? And can I charge 10440s with the Nitecore i2? I've read some...

    Keychain?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm probably looking for something a step up from the Tube Keychain light. And even if I can't get it on Amazon, I could probably use the voucher to get something else. I guess I'm wondering where small but not crazy small is going at the moment. (The DQG Spy is probably...
