Many forums are full of trolls and,well…morons. People seem oddly normal here,helpfull

The work your top 3-5 top reviewers put in is frankly outstanding.
LONG, really detailed, GOOD HQ pics
Hardcore fans.

Shocked more dont own 1 or more of these lights

12

So any know / trust this vendor “Sky Ben” ?
He claims if you buy from him, he personally makes good on all lights he sells. Bypasses the MFG

13

It’s Skylumen, and yes, he does that.

14

No, not me. A friend of mine who makes a great knife & has done work in Baghdad several times with our troops. :+1:

15

Those Bark River’s you mentioned Semper Fi are all good knives that should serve you well…. as I’m sure you already know. :wink:

16

So, Olight got back to me
Odd how it worded the answer.
Claims the tailcap is safe now BUT it still says “Do not short”

18

That’s because there is still a very small current running through the contacts, and it’s a safety warning.

Two reasons for this reason:

  1. Even a very small current can drain the battery a bit faster. It’s negligible though.
  2. A diode can fail. When it fails, there is a chance it does not short out. If it does not short out, current can normally flow…

Blue sword do you own one of the above lights?

I’ve actually tried the H2R myself once one of my police friends actually showed me the problem with his H2R’s tailcap.

Luckily, we were able to contact Plight for a new tailcap, and she was able to use it again without the fear of the charging contact shorting out.

21

Can you ask him if it looked the same?
Wonder how you know if you have the old or revised version
Know how long ago this happened?

22

About the ROFIS R3 charging issue - yes, I saw the same thing about the resetable fuse, but due to bad english (translated from some comments in russian), I assumed the fuse is located in the cable magnetic head. Sent an email to manufacturer, perhaps they help me how to “bend” the fuse so the charging works properly again.

First step would be to locate the fuse, still not sure if it is in the cable or in the flashlight.

23

From what I was told : In the cable,near/touching the charge disc

24

I tested the cable with a DMM and there was 5 volts. Lets see what manufacturer comes up with.

25

I talked to a Marine who has the TH30. He told me many times he has left it on high (1200+lumens) for over 1 hour.
Never burnt out or melted or fizzled,yet.

Really a shock it can take this heat for that long,so many times.Perhaps it is just made well.\

Any here old enough to remember when the Surefire P60 was the OMFG mind blowing light at the time?
I remember this tiny thing owning my multi D cell maglight.
We joked :We have reached the zenith of lighting, in 100 years it will NEVER get any brighter then this.
I showed mine off to everyone and blew minds.

Now lights the same rough size are 2000-3500 !. Just insane
Seems lumens keep going up. Our ability to deal with heat was capped years ago.

lol I remember many many years ago on a site called “CPF” (still around?) When LEDS,the good kind had just come out. Cree I think.
The incan guys would always say how dumb silly LEDS would NEVER ever over power bulbs.
pages and pages about how bulbs would never die out.200+ Lumens out of a LED was just impossible.
Some talky guys would go on for pages about how in 50 years they would never own a LED light.
bet they all do now =P

*Home for a few days,then we head back out.
Eating my first “Sonic” food as I type this . I got a hot dog as long as my arm,no shit and the best tots.Cherry lime aid the woman suggested……necter of the gods.
Man,civi life is good
Funny what ya miss

Sorry I can’t help you with your headlamp search. I don’t use them much so my opinion would be relatively useless. I can comment on SkyBen though. They are a seller on Amazon that I have bought a few lights from. Never had a problem with anything purchased from them. I did message them with a few questions before I bought the lights. They got back to me in less than 24hrs and were very helpful. One light I ordered from them came with a USB light. I asked if they sold those separately and they stated they did but he would throw a few extras in the mail for me. Which he did. That super insignificant act of kindness earned my business for another light I was looking at. Now I always check his store on Amazon before I order something.

I hv both the Rofis R3 and also Skilhunt H03R. Both are good lights but I would prefer the R3 because of its flexibility. It can be angle to be a headlamp and also a flashlight. I hv not tested the magnetic charging as I always remove the batt to change. So can’t comment much about the magnetic charging. I like that you can hv direct access to moon mode and turbo mode.

28

That bendy head really is a great idea for a legit EDC
Wonder why the R3 doesnt have the crazy burst of lights from other MFG these days
Even the High is not that high
mode spacing puzzles me also,huge gap
bleh

I am gonna be called a jerk for this : I feel like If I told ANY decent MFG what light to make…it would be better then anything out now.
I mean as far as modes and options and such.What LED and such
All these light are almost what I want.None exact. I wonder “what are they thinking”

Why cant they get it right =P

Guys on this forum could design great lights.MFG should poll people here

Read about 50 reviews here, really impressed by your people.
No jackasses or trolls.Just friendly and helpfull folks.
Rare these days
Perhaps flashlights (unlike guns/knives) doesnt attract morons

29

Any last Rofis R3 owners that can chime in?

30

Wonder if the Rofis R series shorts out like the Olight H2R
