    Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely

    Yes, that is the problem for US based suppliers, USPS Shipping charges are high for them, which places them at a disadvantage compared to Chinese sellers for sending products to foreign clients.

    Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely

    It's a good idea to be mindful that 50 18650 cells arriving in Canada from a foreign destination will place that shipment into the realm of a commercial shipment. That means it needs to be accompanied by a commercial invoice which is then used in the preparation of a 'B3' Canada Customs form. It...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    This fall, our Visitor Safety Specialists, got a dozen of the new model NAO for avalanche rescue. A few weeks ago some the Human Wildlife Conflict Specialists tried them and did not like the tint, so they went for Spark headlamps with T5 emitters instead. Given that Gear Lab does not appear to...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    Based on my experience, which is more than casual, , I'd disagree.

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    I've been curious regarding the following: 1: Has reactive lighting become something that other headlamp engineers have adopted, or is it unique to this model only? (If so, it makes me wonder why the other high end brands have not jumped on the reactive band wagon?) 2: Are wavelengths that...

    IMALENT EMT16 Remote + Touch Screen (XM-L2, laser - 1x18650, 2xCR123A) Review: RUNS+

    The Picatinny Rail is a feature of your retaining device (firearm, helmet, or airsoft). You just need to place the light into a standard Weaver Mount to achieve that. The remote uses a 12v 27A cell Imalent has indicated that the remote uses DTMF tones. I was rather disappointed to find that...

    Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely

    No I didn't know that, that's interesting. They sure seem to waffle depending on what week or day it is. When that happened, the manufacturer said they could still send UPS for $25.00 less, which I did not want to happen under any circumstances because we all know that that cheap UPS shipment...

    Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely

    That shipping requirement still seems to be correct. Malaysia Post is one that still seems to takes bateries, and I think we also got a shipment via Sweden Post. Most of the Chinese sellers list on their websites which postal methods you can get batteries sent by, and those are commonly...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    Re: Attaching CREE LEDs on NAO PCB Many people enjoy using that model, and swear by it. I don't want to start a diatribe about one light being better than another. In my case I prefer the higher CRI of other LED Bin's, and I found it very easy to upgrade the Spark LED's to T3 and T4 emitters...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    FWIW, I use 2 lights for the trail at night. To see the trail at my feet and all around, I use a flood lens that is mounted on my hip belt (a SPark SD6 with Flood lens and a T3 XM-L2 emitter). On my head I normally use a spot lens with a T4 emitter (I have several, but my normal go-to is a Spark...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    As you can't really solder to those batteries, and magnets will slide off, probably have to insert it into a carrier. Although FT does also sell carriers with protection circuits built into them (which in turn would allow you to use the unprotected version of the NCR18650B), I assume that is not...

    Petzl NAO - high-tech headlamp review.

    zirit, I may not understand correctly, perhaps you need those PCB's to be outside your battery? Otherwise these cells from the same supplier and recommended above, are available with the PCB already integrated...

    IMALENT DD4R (4xXM-L2 - 4x18650, 8xCR123A) Touch Screen Review: RUNTIME, VIDEO+

    Re: IMALENT DD4R (4xXM-L2 - 4x18605, 8xCR123A/RCR) Touch Screen Review: RUNTIME, VIDE Thanks for taking the time to answer. There are a number of flashlights with a switch that is known as side mount switch. Some of them have a 'ramping' driver, some have a feature called 'clicky'. With this...
