    Solid light for a daughter starting in college

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'm leaning towards the Nitecore MT10A, due to power, size and feature set and ability to run AA or LiIO battery as well.

    Solid light for a daughter starting in college

    Folks: My daughter starts college in the fall. She's staying on campus for her first year. I already have a nice sized carrying mace device for her. Would like her to also have, in her room and she is out in the evening, a small but solid light for emergency and other safety reasons. I prefer...

    Lost my PD 35 Fenix in the attic insulation......should I worry?

    Can you guys, who own the PD 35, confirm for me that only the clip is magnetic?

    Lost my PD 35 Fenix in the attic insulation......should I worry?

    I think you guys are on to something. Harbor Freight has a "Heavy Duty Magnetic Pickup Tool " for about 8.00 bucks. I could run that along the entire path of where I walked and probably come across it at some point. Thanks for the idea!!!

    Lost my PD 35 Fenix in the attic insulation......should I worry?

    Folks: Was looking for a minor leak in the roof; had a headlamp on and my PD35 in my pocket, in the event I needed more light. At some point it slipped out and fell into the 12 inch blown insulation. Trouble is, I don't know where. Two questions for everyone: 1) It has an L-Ion battery. I...

    Want to buy the Fenix HL-50, but will it run the 16340 when it calls for the CR123A?

    Folks: I have an XTAR MP2 for charging my 18650s I used in my lights. I am interested in buying a couple of HL-50s for a big backpacking trip with my boys. Since I already have a LIO charger that charges " 14500/14650/16340/17500/17670/18350/18500/18650/18700" I figured I would try to get a...

    Anyone have a list of headlamps that use the 16850 battery?

    Simple ask of the forum. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a list of headlamps that use the 16850. I know its a larger battery; however, I use it for my other torches and would love to know if I can transition it to headlamp use as well. Thx. TKH

    Help needed with La Crosse Technology BC-700 and Kodak Rechargeable batteries AA

    So is that what happens when a battery is on its way out? It can't be refreshed or it won't reach the max voltage? I've not yet had batteries get that old yet.

    Help needed with La Crosse Technology BC-700 and Kodak Rechargeable batteries AA

    Folks: I own the BC-700 and many Eneloop AA and AAA. All works well. However, when visiting my friend, I noticed an older AM/FM radio he leaves running in his office. He said he uses rechargeable batteries to power this older radio. I noticed he had Kodak 1.2V Ni-MH with a dumb charger. I...

    PD35 Tint and overall color

    For all of you who have the PD35, if you own the defuser, can you please tell me which one fits it? Fenix's website isn't clear on that. Also, for those of you using rechargeable 18650s, could you tell me which ones you use and if you like them?

    PD35 Tint and overall color

    Could either or both of you comment on why the 35 makes a better torch than the PD32 Ultimate? (thanks for your quick replies, by the way).

    PD35 Tint and overall color

    Folks: I'm considering the Fenix PD35. I have the Fenix TK60 from 3 years ago and have noticed I'm not really a fan of the green circle it produced on the inside. I'm not wanting to buy the PD35 if it also has that greenish tint to it. Thoughts? TKH.

    ArmyTek Predator 2.5 (XP-G2 R5 1x18650 2xCR123A/RCR) Regular and Pro Review: RUNTIME+

    Does anyone know if there is a defuser extension that would easily accommodate its use for use in tents? I'm so new to flash light research that I apologize for not knowing the proper term of these additions. For smaller lights they are the fogged, clear top that mounts on the top and makes...
