    New Thrunite HT20,,, or 10,,,??

    Was debating this myself. The TH10 is old/dated, and outperformed by other lights these days (due for update?). The TH20 sounds great, but spec-wise it's pretty heavy for what it is (a single AA headlamp). The 14500 compatibility is cool, but I'd have concerns regarding runtime at full output (I...

    Olight X7 coming 15.9.2016 (3x XHP70, 9000 lumens)

    They're definitely focused on hitting massive numbers lately (requiring stepdowns). No reason to think this would be any different. Hopefully there's a "high" mode that is sustainable for some length of time well above 3k lumens.

    P60 housing for bike light/aux light?

    Additionally - anyone know of any p60 drop ins that'll run on automotive voltage (9-14.4v)?

    P60 housing for bike light/aux light?

    Not a bad idea. A solarforce single cr123 host with a tape switch might be the way to go for this.... Would love a more purpose built housing that's even shorter than a single cr123, but my searching has turned up nothing so far.

    P60 housing for bike light/aux light?

    Anyone seen a P60 housing that would work for a motorcycle auxiliary light? I basically just need something to hold a p60 module with 2 wires coming out the back.

    Thrunite TN42

    What a fickle bunch. TN42 looks like a good bit higher intensity from that beam shot than the Acebeam.

    H4 LED Upgrade - Are there any good ones?

    Moderator Edit This is your second warning about Rule 3: Whining about the rules. This forum is ALREADY an EXCELLENT resource for vehicle lighting modifications; we shut down the conversation whenever someone comes in and tries do undo a thread full of solid information with a few glib words...

    H4 LED Upgrade - Are there any good ones?

    Philips makes a H4 LED replacement that's getting good reviews. Designed to have the same cut-off as halogen in reflectors designed for halogens.

    What 2 X 18650 LED Lights Have The Best Throw?

    I think you need 1000m to be in the club now. The above-mentioned Crelant 7g5cs is only rated at 521m throw. Acebeam has the T20 = 1050m throw (haven't seen this reviewed). http://acebeam.com/tactical-flashlight-acebeam-t20 Olight M3XS-UT = 1000m throw...

    25% discount 1 year e-commerce anniversary

    Yeah, it'd be great if they could import them to the UK at prices equivalent to US pricing, and I don't blame you for not wanting to pay ~$67 for it - it's not worth even $50 to me, but I'm considering it at 25% off. Hopefully your UK distributor will have a similar sale soon.

    25% discount 1 year e-commerce anniversary

    To be fair, they are the US distributor... you could complain to your UK distributor. Additionally... just because someone can get it cheaper, does that really change your perceived value? If it's not worth £50 to you, then don't buy it. There are several people getting them for free in...

    What 2 X 18650 LED Lights Have The Best Throw?

    I have one. Pretty awesome. More throw than I'll ever need. 1000m to be exact (it would be helpful if people posted the actual numbers along with their suggestions).

    Extender for M3XZ-UT?

    Regardless of the reason, the email stated it would be "on the site next week". That was two weeks ago. Is that no longer the case???? Quite simply, the fact that I don't have an extender is because when I sent my M3 in for warranty, it came back without an extender. So yeah, I need one. I'm...

    Olight S1A. A one click wonder! 600 lumen AA flashlight.

    I'm just looking at the raw efficiency/performance graphs for the LEDs... it just looks to me like the XP-L is better all around. Hard to tell from the graph, but visually at 1.5A the XP-L looks to have about a 50lm advantage over the XM-L2.
