Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(MyWifeCar @ Nov 18 2019, 05:26 PM) Thanks for the recommendation. Actually when bro @Everdying reco :thrunite TT10, it got me thinking into having a unit with external battery. I like TIP2, compact and not so expensive. TUP, is slightly expensive but something nicer to have. But I am wondering if it is really suitable on cap, looks big. So I have set myself a budget of RM200 to find a replacement for my TIP. - Must be able to clip on cap. - Mid mode around 50 lumen. - Distance of 50m is more than enough. Yeah, slightly bigger than the TIP for sure. Comparison.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(epsilon_chinwk86 @ Nov 18 2019, 01:16 PM) As powerbank, as charger (leech from another friends/hikers actual powerbank:lol:) and as lantern. Currently using NiteCore HC30 as headlamp & Fenix PD32 as lantern (with cloth type lantern attachment from NatureHike) To illuminate camping area. Having headlamp on my head the entire night when camping kinda annoying though. Headlamp is good when you have task to focus on or when you need to go far away from campsite to shit etc but for general lounging at camp, lantern is the better option. Ahhh.... to illuminate camping area. I thought you wanted it inside your tent. QUOTE(power911 @ Nov 18 2019, 09:14 PM) I'm probably replying a question that has been answered but I'm no fan of headlight on other people despite how useful it is. Those people just don't realize they're blinding me when they try to see me. Especially when they own any 1000lm headlamps and run them 100% all the time killing battery. Lantern for them newbies to hang around is more pleasant to the eyes rather than having a high beam fest Or in my case just use torchlight with diffuser Maybe camping veterans will be more disciplined. Technicians like me just gets blinded all the time +1. Happens to all camping kaki when the person you're talking to doesn't shield their headlamp. But if amoi below shine in my eyes, I don't mind...

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(WingNut @ Nov 20 2019, 09:57 AM) that was one of my primary concerns before i decided to pull the trigger. the s2r ii was a very very close contender but it also uses customised batteries. so on that note, they both tied. klarus loss out on runtime since s2r ii had 3200 mah batteries compared to klarus' measly 2600 mah batteries (they really should have provided for a 3600mah option) and is that wee bit longer with the clicky switch... but its also that clicky switch that won me over. the klarus also looks sleek with its mild knurling compared to the the s2r ii's chunky knurling, but i suppose that's a personal preference (admittedly, the grip isn't great when paired with the clicky switch... but it's enough). Agreed on both torchlight are that close. Klarus paddle switch is really unique! And yeah, Klarus should have given a better battery than the included 2,600mAh.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(power911 @ Nov 28 2019, 09:01 PM) Personally never own one but if you are getting one, just don't lose the tailcap nipple. Or to be safe never open the tailcap as the switch will just fall apart. I wanted to get one but I had enough triples in my collection. +1 on the bolded. Read the online reviews who also said the same thing.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(RookieDaddy @ Nov 29 2019, 01:46 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes, on paper, it seems to be a step backwards, am waiting for local resellers to receive their stock to do a comparisons. The shorter runtime likely due to both power source and a different emitter being used, and likely causes of the lower lux and higher lumens as a result. The biggest improvement (yet to see in person) would be the "non-removable" head to address the biggest pain-point for lights of this form-factor. I believe they have also change the knurling for better grip (another yet to see...) not sure about the Micro-USB cable though, the official reason they give is "For environmental protection..." but not everyone has a Micro-USB cable... so... oh... and a new RED edition of S1R Baton II... I hope Olight and other manufacturers can consider doing more colourful torchlights.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(RookieDaddy @ Dec 24 2019, 07:17 PM) sharing here for your references... these are my own testing results, all cables are bought from retail shops or online retailers... the lower the reading, the better (which means it can potentially charges faster). the results are only testing the cable impedance, not durability in usage. I'm surprised that the Aukey gold plated has lower charging than the normal Aukey non-plated cable. This post has been edited by Justin.Loong: Dec 27 2019, 08:23 AM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(power911 @ Dec 27 2019, 03:26 PM) it's probably manufacturing tolerances difference in this case but in hifi world where they go nuts bout conductivity, gold is lower than copper in conductivity where silver still taking the lead So means majority of high end Hi-Fi cables have copper cores? QUOTE(empire23 @ Dec 28 2019, 06:27 PM) Haven’t cleaned out my flashlight collection for a while. Taken them all out for a battery refresh. Any other Surefire users out there? My last 2 Surefires were ED2. Too expensive to buy (in Malaysia).

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,304 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(empire23 @ Dec 30 2019, 11:02 AM) Nice! I haven't got an ED2 but when I first started working after graduation, I asked an ex special forces colleague what torch should I use, he answered, "if your life depends on it, Surefire." Honestly I've used these for night time shooting, camping and abused them quite heavily at work. I have Surefire Saint Minimus I've used at work on site for many years, even after hitting steel and concrete has functioned super well. Oh yah... also have an old E1e and G3D. True on the bolded parts. Both my E1e and ED2 were used without mercy. And still functions well till today. E1e is using the old incandescent bulb. Originally wanted to mod it to LED but didn't happen. Lol... Not sure why I bought the G3D though. Underused.
