    looking for a higher-quality replacement to a Jetbeam BA20

    Thanks, I think he's going to buy the LD22. I couldn't talk him into Li-ion batteries.

    looking for a higher-quality replacement to a Jetbeam BA20

    My dad's BA20 bit the dust and he's looking for something better to replace it with. In his words, "I want to still be working 10 years from now." I had him fill out CPF questionnaire. Any recs you all can make are appreciated! 1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? ____I would...

    Zebralight SC51 mounted on Nikon DSLR

    I thought you guys might like this. I bought a hotshoe-mountable microphone holder and by miraculous coincidence a zebralight fits it perfectly. I haven't taken any shots with it yet. Maybe I'll wander around tonight after dark and take a few test photos. Apologies for the poor quality. I...

    What should I do with my 2D MagLite?

    Those FiveMega 2D->6AA adapters are spendy. What makes them better than just a cheap-o version from battery junction? I do like the idea of the cell conversion though. I've invested in eneloops and an AA smart charger and I don't want to (a) buy another charger and more cells or (b) worry...

    What should I do with my 2D MagLite?

    That sounds incredibly impractical. So of course I want to do it.

    What should I do with my 2D MagLite?

    On the advice of CPFers, I've acquired a Zebralight and Jetbeam, both of which are amazing lights. But now I have an old 2 D-cell MagLite that just sitting around collecting dust. It used to be my "good" light, but now it doesn't seem to have a purpose. Any ideas what I can use it for?

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    Do you know if the Nite Ize strap works well to turn the SC51 into a headlamp? Seems like it would. I used to use one for my minimag about 15 years ago when I was a Boy Scout.

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    I went running last night with the H51c. I love the beam and the UI and the size/weight. But you and I must really hold our hands differently when we run because the 90-degree angle thing did not work for me. So I'm still deciding between the warm tint and the high-CRI tint but when I...

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    The headlight I've been running with the last couple years is pretty spotty and it doesn't bother me. I've run with my Jetbeam (hand held) and it's been fine too. And seeing as how I've ordered the non-floody zebralights, I think I'll see how I like them before trying a diffuser.

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    I just ordered one H51c and one H51w to see which I like better. I plan to return the unfavored light. I hope ZL's return policy is really as good as their website would have me believe. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'd hoped to stay under $50 since my "nice" light is a $40...

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    Interesting. I had just about pulled the trigger last night on the SC51c but I like the idea of the headlamp version for the 90 degree head. I'm specifically looking for a handheld light because I usually wear a baseball cap while running at night to shield my eyes from the headlights of...

    in the market for a hand-carried light for running

    Hi all -- in a previous thread you encouraged me to get a JetBeam BA20 as my first "real" flashlight and I'm very happy with it. So now I'm back to ask for some help in selecting a light to carry with me on my nighttime runs this winter. 90% of my night miles are along sidewalks and...

    Outdoor running - max Lumen for about 200 USD?

    I may be a little late to this thread but I've done a lot of running in the woods after dark so I thought I'd add my $0.02. Running in the woods, especially off trail, is an example of a situation where more light isn't necessarily a good thing. Say you had a 300 lumen flood lamp that filled...
