    Hiking at night: What do you EDC ?

    Depends. If it's an evening hike where I might be out a little after dark, I just carry my ET D25C and an extra battery. But if it's a planned hike that will involve some hours in the dark I bring the D25C and a larger/brighter light with longer runtime (was a Thrunite T30S but now a NW 4-mode...

    Hiking at night: What do you EDC ?

    I had a bear in camp at Rae Lakes once. My dog won't let me hike alone....;)

    Pocket Light Tripod?

    Hi guys. I think I once saw a small, positionable tripod (like a Joby) with a velcro strap on top so that you could position a small AA/123 light and point it at where you needed illumination. I've searched around the web (and here) and although there are a bunch of light/tripod combos, I...

    EagleTac D25C losing memory reset

    After toggling several times from both head positions it's working again. I think Shelm was correct: I was in "mode memory" but wasn't easily able to toggle out of it. I cleaned the contacts and now it seems to work fine (thanks, bad beams). Also, thanks LiteMe: I had forgotten about the soft...

    EagleTac D25C losing memory reset

    Yes, and I often toggle between the two modes, but even though I can still toggle to get either "low" or "moonlight" I still am not getting the standard reset to whichever "low" mode should be available. It worked fine for a few months of everyday use, but now it's stuck in moving on from...

    EagleTac D25C losing memory reset

    Hi all. My ET D25C, which I've been carrying daily for a couple of months, has evidently lost its memory reset. Whether on a 3.7v rechargeable or 3v primary, the light now remembers last mode, but no longer resets to low (or moon, if I'm in that mode) after being off for a few seconds. In...

    Mixing 18650s

    Hi all. A quick question: I am aware of the potential dangers of mixing Li-ion batteries of different age, charge state and capacities, but do you think mixing, for example, fresh ET 2500mAh and Trustfire 2500mAh (both protected) would be as risky? What about the same brand and capacity but a...

    Top 3 Single Cell AA lights

    It's probably worth keeping this thread alive since the 1xAA choices seem to change regularly. Mine: 1. EagleTac D25A (either clicky or twisty - I like both UIs). The quality of these little ETs is head and shulders above many of the 1XAAs I've owned (Thrunite T10, Maratc, Nitecore, etc.) 2...

    EagleTac USA domain expired??

    Isn't that just a reseller site (not officially EagleTac)?

    AA x2 EDC LIGHT What is working for you?

    My Quark X AA2 has a lot of flexibility with its many modes, my wife's Crelant V21A is a great 3-mode "tac" light, equally good for flashaholic and non-flashaholic, and the ShiningBeam Spark and Caveman (neutral) are nice.

    1xAA - NO more cool whites - L10 Nichia, D25A, SC52w

    Although I have a D25A, it's a regular XPG2 CW (nice tint, though), but I have also owned the D25C in neutral and liked that tint a great deal. Not as warm as my L10, but equally easy on the eyes and the color rendition was decent. Based on my experience with the "C" I wouldn't hesitate to try...

    Aren't ShiningBeam lights made by Olight, just like FourSevens?
