    Old Fenix HL55 - Runtime Curves?

    Yes, but only at the two higher outputs. I’m looking for the curves on the lower modes...

    Thanks, much appreciated.

    Old Fenix HL55 - Runtime Curves?

    Fenix did publish curves on their site for the HL55, it’s just that I can’t remember them... From my experience with the whole FL1 thing, the higher outputs of most lights deplete quite steeply (even though they claim some flat regulation). However, the lower outputs do tend to be regulated...

    Old Fenix HL55 - Runtime Curves?

    Hi all, I like my old HL55, but I was recently enlightened regarding FL1 standards not being “entirely accurate”(let’s say) regarding regulated runtime. I have searched the forums for some old runtime curves for this light, but can’t seem to find the ones I want, the lower outputs. I saw that...

    Zebralight SC5 mk2 - great useless flashlight

    If I put my light(s) in my pack for trail use, I do get concerned that the lenses will get scratched due to contact with other items. So I use a small mesh bag with a draw-string for the light, as the bag is flexible it takes the shape of the light and doesn't take up any extra space in the...

    Looking for Run-time Data on this basic flashlight...can anyone help?

    @stephenk - many thanks for that. So 75 min is around 30% of the claimed runtime. This might be un-scientific thinking, but if I assumed the same type of 'discharge curve shape' for operation on low mode, I might expect around 15 hours before noticeable drop-off in mine. Actually, that's a...

    Looking for Run-time Data on this basic flashlight...can anyone help?

    @ stephenk - thanks, yes, I have tried the CPF search, but the runtime data posts on this light seem to be from about 10 years ago and the images of the curves are no longer there unfortunately. @TCY Problem with LL is that their stated run-times are down to 1 lumen, which is not very...

    Looking for Run-time Data on this basic flashlight...can anyone help?

    So.....I own some nice lights from Fenix, Armytek, Zebralight.....some nice Flashaholic lights with which I am very pleased with. They each haver their own dedicated use for me. But on Saturday I saw an LED Lenser P7.2 going being sold at "the right price"....that is to say it was being sold...

    Best EDC torch/flashlight

    Just throwing another one in there....I've EDC'd the Fenix E12 for about a year now. It's AA, which gives bit more punch. I personally feel that a 'good' level of light for walking around without any dark eye adaption is 50 lumens and the E12 has this level so works very well for me. The...

    Fenix HL35 and other Fenix headlamps - long term experience?

    Plus 1. HL55 is superb for all general tasks and neutral white tint outdoors is great. Wide beam, lights up everything in front of you. HL60R is same (but rechargeable). To be honest, can't go wrong with a Fenix, great lights. Just wait till you compare it to Black Diamond / Petzl. Totally new...

    It has a Square Beam.. - Review of the Bushnell T300L HD

    Thanks for that, nice review. Bit like an aspheric lens? I don't know if I could get used to that square beam profile, shame that it just 'stops' at the edges....might be better in use if it somehow kept that beam shape but then had an extra square spill area around it and blending into it...

    New 2017 black Diamond head lamps

    Have to admit I am not too keen...just seem like B.D (and Petzl) won't drop the 3 x AAA format for commercial reasons (cheap to produce direct drive, PWM etc)....it's all just old technology for me I regret. All plastic construction too.... They market the prices too high for what they...

    Nite Ize LED Mini Glowsticks

    I bought some, very useful indeed. When we go camping and it gets busy, we have had a couple of silly people walk into our tent as they are not carrying flashlights (!) These are just the ticket, clip one to the tent and we are easily seen.

    Skilhunt H03: CW or NW for trail running?

    Yes! NW all the way for outdoors....colors will pop out at you, green leaves and brown trees look er....green and brown! CW on the other hand...all looks rather...drab....and 'cold'. Hope you enjoy the NW!

    Users, not collectors...what handheld flashlights do you use for what?

    Petzl Tikka, first headlamp, hanging in cellar for finding my tools. PT Eos 50L version, first regulated headlamp, nice tint. Wife uses it when we go walking and darkness descends. Fenix HL21, my running headlamp. Light, with good throw, but spill could be better. Fenix HL55, absolutely the...
