    Zebralight headlamp H600w, H600c, or H600d

    I got the H600c recently. First got the H600d, but it was too cold and green for my taste (I like warm tints). I got a H600c instead, but I had to order 3 to get a good one. On 2 samples, the beam had a nice neutral/warmish hotspot, but just at the very center of the hotspot there was a tiny but...

    Olight i3S

    I found some new Olight i3s's on ledscherp.nl. Just bought one, definitely old new-stock, the included alkaline batt had already leaked (BBF date: 2019), but luckily it isn't installed in the light, so no harm done. The site is in Dutch only, so let Google translate be your guide. "Zoek" means...

    Fenix LD01 Hazy Lens

    If you don't want to dissassemble it, put the head in a ziplock bag with some of those silica packets you get with new electronics. Usualy the head isn't completly airtight when unscrewed from the body. Leave it in the bag for a while, a few days or a week if you can wait that long and see if...

    Looking for a mid level flashlight to recommend to my uncle.

    How about the Manker U22 (or U21). They are rated 500m and 700m throw respectively. More than your uncle requiers, but in real life you need to divide the rated manufacturers spec by 2 to get useable throw. It depends on if your uncle wants to see roughly or clearly what is at 300m. The UI has...

    [review] Fenix ​​BC35R (1800lm, pilot) - a flashlight intended for a bicycle

    Re: [review] Fenix ​​BC35R (1800lm, pilot) - a flashlight intended for a bicycle Excellent review :thumbsup:. I have the BC30 and wanted to see what the beam on the bc 35 is like, so thank you for the wallshots. My BC30 already limits the beam to prevent blinding opposing trafic, but not...

    can a zebralight UI be reset?

    What probably happened is you changed the H2 level. The tutorial from nimdabew doesn't work for the sc62w, only later models. To change it again, start the light on high with 1 short click(doesn't matter which high you are on), then double click 6 times. After 6 double clicks you will start...

    Old Maglite 3D with lots of corrosion...want to keep

    DO NOT USE BAKING SODA!!!!:caution: Baking soda in warm water will disolve aluminium. (As I have found out to my cost trying to clean old greasy crud from aluminium cooker hobs). The Aluminium will start fizzing and bubbling slightly and you'll be left with a dull mat coating, which can be...

    HELP!! I JUST DROPPED MY S1R in a Fire!! Update: It’s working!

    Re: HELP!! I JUST DROPPED MY Olight S1R IN A FIRE! I'd remove the battery and regard it as a possible explosive. Li-ion is to be catious with at the best of times. If it's been in a fire, never use it again and dispose of in a safe place. You can try the torch again, but best with another...

    Lenser L7 - my perfect torch, until...

    :welcome: If you are looking for a well built, multiple AA light with focussing check out the Fenix FD45. Much higher output, 5 different output levels and water proof. The only downside I can think of is the lack of momentairy on, meaning you have to hold the button for half a second for the...

    A better (floody) snake light?

    Had a good 700m thrower but now it's a flood

    With fine grit (maybe go even as far as 5000, don't if they have sandpaper this fine) and good polishing you can get things to a mirror finish (sharpened my knife with 5000 grit and polished it. I can see myself in the cutting edge). You could possibly even get it better than factory. In the...

    LED efficiency

    Very roughly speaking: yes. More correctly speaking, for double the current it'll probably be about 90% brighter instead of the full 100%. But the voltage will increase, more than doubling the consumed power. And unless you've got really good cooling, the extra heat is going to mean a hotter...

    LED efficiency

    You would gain some runtime because newer, more efficient leds are not only brighter at the same current, they also have a lower forward voltage. Thus the total consumed power will decrease. Replacing your LED with the most efficient equivalent (the XP-E2 R4) would almost double the output, but...

    Best 18650 Flashlight at the moment Under $30?

    I'll try to get it back on topic. Laptop batteries are often low capacity (2200mAh or so) and not particularly high drain, so if you have a high performance single cell light like the BLF A6, you might want to go for a better battery. Especially if you want to use the high mode much. If you use...

    Seriously looking into buying one. What is the Colour temperature of the NW version? Is the output less than the CW version?
