Posted by Skich1137 I use a Cree headlamp that I ordered from ebay. I haven't had one bit of issues with it. Uses an 18650 rechargeable battery. I usually carry several, maybe 5. First time I went exploring I went draining with my fenix, it over heated and failed and that was my only light!! ended up using my phone until the battery went dead, the light cooled off enough to get us out of the drain. I've carried several light since then. |
Posted by Therrin A lesson well learned. We don't usually go underground with any less than 3 sources of light. Usually a few more. Which Fenix overheated on you? I have an HP10, have had three HP20's, and have two HP11's. The HP10 still works great. All three HP20's broke/died, and are a shit design. (makes me wonder why I kept buying more of them, money down the drain) The HP20's are awesome. I've used one of my HP20's at work every single day for over 6 months without any trouble so far. I use a clamp-on surefire diffuser on it, and it has never had any problems with overheating. |

Posted by SuchundFind They are cheaper than most flashlights that I know. |
Posted by hummer61 For the 2 flashlights that i posted here i payed 140€ = 179$. The B7 or P7 is around 75€ = 96$. The H7 is around 65€ = 83$. Like i said, not so cheap , for just 2 flashlights. |
Posted by AnAppleSnail Lights are getting bright. I found my Jetbeam RRT-01 again and was reminded how bright 500, lumen is. In 1990, 100 lumen was a high performance search and rescue spotlight. Now it's medium-low on the thumb-sized light in my pocket. I'm starting to appreciate a useful beam pattern and runtime options. What do you run that Predator on? 110 lumen while walking around? |
Posted by Therrin You could also do A LOT better for that kinda money. |

Posted by Therrin For $76 you can get: Solarforce L2p flashlight platform, HA-III anodized A protected Li-ion rechargeable 18650 battery A 2-bay charger A 3 mode xml dropin 500lm max output with that dropin But since it's a platform system, you can change to whatever kind of dropin you want, for whatever kind of light output, profile, intensity, or technology you want. With the same flashlight body you could run incandescent, IR, UV, halogen, or LED. And in the LED spectrum there's dozens and dozens of different types to choose from. All without having to purchase a new entire flashlight each time. |
