    Olight i3S (1xAAA, XP-G2)

    My own test on medium gave me 8:12 on a 2nd gen Eneloop, where it started to dim noticeably at about 7:45 and coasted down to sub-lumens.

    Nitecore EA4 Pioneer - Updated Switch Cover Material!

    Please let us know what Nitecore comes up with for the existing owners. I've left the cap on mine partially unscrewed and I'm scared to take it anywhere because I don't want to melt the switch cover. I bought my EA4 for camping but it sits in a drawer. I'm also waiting to see what they do before...

    Thoughts on Streamlight products?

    I've only owned the Microstream, but it's a solid light.

    LED lights that double as portable USB charger/Convert 18650 to to USB power?

    Yep, the DIY version is just the unit without batteries included. I had some harvested Sony batteries from a laptop battery, so I wanted to supply my own.

    LED lights that double as portable USB charger/Convert 18650 to to USB power?

    I have the version of the Ruinovo without the bank of LEDs and so far it's just outstanding. It feels really upscale with the brushed Aluminum case, and it's one of the few chargers to charge my ZTE smartphone. It's a little heavy though, but it's not a deal breaker. But the real gem I ran...

    Why is there a short pause before my XML flashlight lights up

    I have a few lights with the so-called "soft start": Sunwayman M20C Sunwayman V11R Nitecore MT1A It's a little bit annoying, but not a deal breaker for me.

    Sunwayman V11R Mirage: First Impressions & Problems with AA extender other issues

    Re: Sunwayman V11R Mirage: First Impressions & Problems with AA extender other issu Mine had the grease fail after about a year of heavy use. Now there's no resistance on the ring. Does anyone know how to repack the grease? I think I read it here somewhere... The AA extender on mine has been...

    LED lights that double as portable USB charger/Convert 18650 to to USB power?

    Hah, I guess the one I built about a half hour ago is the DIY version of the Ruinovo. I only paid like $14 for it. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1332106 So far I'm very impressed. The build quality is good (the screws are a little cheap though) and it's the only one so far that charges my...

    LED lights that double as portable USB charger/Convert 18650 to to USB power?

    This one looks interesting. It's a real flashlight and I think I saw a decent review of it (HKJ maybe?) http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10002464/1181701-jinheng-2-in-1-cree-t6-5-mode-900-lumen-rechargeab I have a few USB battery packs from fasttech as well, but they don't have very powerful...

    Firefly mode, Olight i3s and Thrunite T10. Are there any direct comparisons

    Hmm, off the top of my head: The T10 AA and the I3S is AAA, so there is a size and run time difference. The T10 probably has a lower low, and also has a mode memory and different mode order. The I3S has a hidden strobe, which the T10 does not have. The I3S has a reversible clip where the T10...
