Princeton Tec Byte headlamp review
super zombie bump, but I just looked up the referred to fix with the door for the Byte that WingNut posted about. I emailed PT, hopefully I can get one to make the four of these drawer sitters into useful devices again! -

ZeroHour XD (XM-L2, 3x18650 3400mAh, USB charging) Review: RUNTIME, BEAMSHOTS+more
They seem to be going after some of the TAC market with the light now, which is probably a good thing for reaching a wider market. The XDR seems like a very nice light but the but I was hoping to find more commentary here on the beam switching options. For most people who want the strobe and...- ROKIT88

It's fer real alright :) I probably joined just to get pm & email access to other members. I only drop in once in a while, mainly for research. I remember when I first got into premium lights the Photon II was the bee's knees! SF hadn't crenelated anything yet and I was so excited when... -

I'm curious about the runtime test on low. Given the PT stated criteria for runtime (0.2 lumens at 2 meters) it is hard to tell how that really translates. I picked up four for the family today while browsing at Sports Chalet, they had them 25% off so 14.99 before tax. Played with it at the...
