    Loving all of my neutral and HiCRI emitters more than ever. Especially in muddy situations where u need that contrast. And in the coastal mist.

    Cheers guys! Used my lights a bunch this winter in Baja and of course for night rides on my mountain bike. Lots of trail maintenance nights at well.

    Been ages since I’ve been on CPF except to check on new 18650 reviews - Vinh has covered all of my lighting needs along w my Zebra headlamps :) I was gonna email Vinh directly but figured I’d post here n see if anyone knows where to purchase one of those super cheap compact single 18650...

    Hmmmm I’ve got an old Vanisledsm quad that Vinh modded to XPE2 ~4000K The HiCRI SST20 might be pretty awesome in that set up. The Van quad is aluminum and much lighter than The CQVN I have. It’s set for max 4.2a output which is a sweet spot for the slightly inferior heat sinking of an...

    Yah - I always end up loaning lights out to my friends on night rides or hikes. Halloween is a great excuse to bust out some lumens!! —-:——-/——/——:——-::/—- Does anyone know if there’s anything brighter than an XPL in a single cell reflector P60 yet? I’m hoping to replace my M2500VN with...

    Went for a walk with some friends on Halloween to avoid everyone and avoid having to make costumes... bah humbug. Had my R16VN H20VN and CQVN as we were hiking 10+ mi and nobody had their own lights besides some ghetto Princeton techs etc. I’ll post some pics from summer adventures when...

    Hey all! I haven’t been on CPF for a few months - just been busy on trips etc. Genesis looks awesome. I’m stoked that there are some new emitters out there - I’m gonna need a new p60 helmet light when daylight savings rolls back and most of our riding is after dark. My M2500VN died and was...

    V54 Monthly Giveaway

    1. Was into the mag & brinkman AA lights in the 80s :) 2. I was stuck lightless overnight waiting for the sun to come up on two occasions. Once in Yosemite when a rayovac switched itself on in the pack and another time hiking off trail out a river gorge in Big Sur and couldn’t navigate down a...

    Sooo stoked I found it :) You were right NewLumen - keep the faith! VINH- I LOVED the yellowish floody dedomed MTG2 tint so much - it was my favorite in the fog on my helmet :) It just flashed and went dead on a ride but I did get a bunch of use out of it. The only drawback was needing 6volts...

    Sooooo I haven’t posted in a few month because I lost my CQVN and my M2500VN module stopped working and I’ve just beeen soooo bummed BUT! - my CQVN was discovered buried in the couch at my moms (yay mom!) so I’m SUPER stoked to be back in the game and I’ve also got a little extra $ to have Vinh...

    Zebralight H600Fc Mk IV - First Impressions

    I think non “high drain” batteries are sagging so much under the heavy load that they’re hitting the low voltage cutoff earlier than many people expected on H1. Try a fresh VTC6 or 30q etc.

    Zebralight H600Fc Mk IV - First Impressions

    Hey Lampe- I replaced my beloved & waterlogged H600w MKII with an H600fc MKIII & have felt the beam pretty much universally better for anything I use a headlamp for - MTN bikes, backpacking, camping, cooking etc. three of my friends whom frequently ride and backpack with me have h600w MKIII and...

    Here’s a couple of older pics - I still cant find it but I’ve got a few places left to look. The nitemods (fivemega) tubes are AWESOME with thick anodizing even on the threads (unlike solarforce:() for easy lockout. The shorty zerorez is cool for having an 18650 in a 18500 body - twist of...

    Nice!! I’m so happy the p60 type module is still around :) Such a cool way to be able to upgrade our favorite hosts and fine tune them to our personal tastes in tint, UI and beam shape. I haven’t been able to find my CQVN for a while - I’m hoping it’s buried in my van somewhere.... Gutted if...
