And several questions…
I’ve read somewhere that H03 are not glued recently, is that right?
Will XHP50.2 fit the optic? If no, are there suggested replacements?
How about driver height?
Any other potential problems?
I’ve seen reports that the newer versions were not glued.
On the head threads there was little glue, I forced it with my hands (unlike unglued Emisar bezel ). But I see glue out of the driver edges…
How do u “install” the headband? we have been 2 people now at this for 2 hours, Is the instructions even right? man they are hard to understand. This should not be sold as a flashlight but as a puzzle. How to do it?
I got this pictures to look at: Imgur: The magic of the Internet But still, I dont understand. I can build computers, rcplanes, choppers, repair cars, u name it, but F”#%” this is hard.
Edit: Done, became a bit easier when u knew somehow how to do it… Thanks for the information! :innocent:
Yeah I was struggling with that a bit too two days ago. Best thing is to google for some pictures. One clue is that you do not need to insert one plastic end to another plastic end to make a loop (like you do with a belt for your pants). You insert the rubber band via the centre spliced part of the plastic thingy.
I ordered two of these to replace my aging(10+ years old) camping headlights. Needless to say the HO3’s are brighter on medium low tier setting than old lights on high, and with longer run time.
They are amazing for the money. I dropped Nichia 219C 4000k 90+ CRI LED’s into mine as for a headlamp especially i care about tint/CRI alot more than throw or total output. Turned out great.
Hello Chris , I’m not sure that I’m understanding what you mean by quickly double clicking to get to mode 2 , it sounds to me that you think you can set it to either mode 1 or mode two.
The way I understand how mine works is that it is very similar to zebra lights UI ,
Eg it has low ,medium ,high & turbo , & it has a sub setting on each which will be remembered ,in other words it has 4 settings with a choice of 2 outputs for each one.
Is this what you were saying or have I misunderstood ?
I still use mine, although not often. I use it for close up work in the house (with the head band), so the diffused beam is really a requirement. This is also the reason that I haven’t purchased another angle light with a regular reflector. No issues so far.
Issues, none so far. But it now has a LH351D 4000K and a Lexel driver running Anduril.
Hint: 16mm MCPCBs fit VERY snugly from the driver-side. Better sand them down to 15mm
The only thing I would also upgrade is the magnet. While it works, it doesn’t have “too much” like the Emisar D4
