    Olight Seeker 4 mini question

    I picked one of these up and am quite happy with it, but have a UI question I’m hoping someone here can answer. It has to do with getting out of turbo mode. If I am in low, double click to turbo, and then double click again, it brings me back to low. Same with medium - start with medium, double...

    Battery discharge rate and heat

    I picked up a Zebralight SC600fd Mk IV plus and a Sanyo NCR18650GA at the same time, also from Zebralight. The light is great and we use it for night walks. But on level H2 (1032 lm), it was too hot to hold after a few minutes. The next night I set it to H3 (557 lm) and it was much better, but...

    battery for garage light

    I have an Olight S1 that I like to keep in my garage and want to know if I should leave a primary CR123a in it or a rechargeable. I live in South Florida, so it does get up to about 95 degrees inside the garage in the summer. Is a rechargeable OK at those temps or should I keep a primary in it...

    Zebralight SC62w flickering

    A little more information that I have learned is that if I put it on H1 for a short enough time to feel warm, then the flickering goes away at th 326 lm mode. Would that type of behavior be a clue to anyone about what may be wrong? (Aside from it simply being defective)

    Zebralight SC62w flickering

    I have an SC62w that is only about 2 months old and I get a constant flickering on the 326 lm level for H2. I have tried 3 different batteries and cleaned all the contact points with alcohol. It's less noticeable on a fully charged battery, but once it gets to about 4 volts, the flickering...

    Olight Smini

    Re: *new* Olight Smini This may not help with actual scratches, but if you have scuffs or dullness on a bead blasted Ti surface, try cleaning it with lemon Pledge. I have a titanium bike and the manufacturer tells you to clean it with Pledge. Four years and many, many thousands of miles later...

    Excellent. Thank you for the clear answer.

    Hi discharge vs low discharge 18650

    Somewhat new to this whole thing, so could someone clarify this for me? I assume a battery that says 30 amp discharge is higher than a 10 amp discharge. But why would I want one over the other for a light such as a Zebralight sc62w or a Nitecore MH20?

    Zebralight SC62w - am I seeing what PID looks like?

    I just received an SC62w (direct from Zebralight) and can actually see the step down as it heats up. If I turn it on to H1, within 1 minute or so it begins to dim and I can actually see tiny step downs. The step downs almost look like a flicker. I tried 3 different fully charged batteries (an...

    Problem with Fenix PD35

    Here is a link to how to tighten the ring inside the tail cap in case that is your problem. I have done it before with a strong paper clip and it solved a flickering problem. http://www.fenix-store.com/troubleshooting-your-flashlight/

    Zebralight SC600w Mk III HI am I the only one having a bad experience?

    If you are just looking for daytime strobe while cycling, pick up something like a Niterider Lumina Micro 350 for less than $40.00. I have one that I use for daytime cycling in strobe mode and I get about 6 hours out of a charge. And it's simple usb rechargeable. If you also want to use it as a...

    Mountain bike headlight

    I use a Niterider Lumina 750 for road riding at night, but it may not be bright enough for fast trails. Have you looked at the Dinotte XPL-3? I purchased a Dinotte Quad Red last year for a blinking tail light and the thing is outstanding. I've had several riders (and a cop) ask me what it is...

    Zebralight SC32w vs. SC52w L2 tint

    So it sounds like you are saying somewhere in between the 2 that I show. Am I correct? Because I think I would be very happy with that.

    Zebralight SC32w vs. SC52w L2 tint

    Probably impossible for you to tell, but do you think yours looks closer to the beam of my 52 (left) or 32 (right)? Just curious.
