Nitecore concept 2 with power boost and upgrade led xhp 35 hi

Just received my all-time favorite P60 light. I’m really excited because the light isn’t produced anymore and the threads of my previous one (from 2010) started to wear. So I e-mailed Alan from Dereelight if he still sells the DBS v3. Luckily he still had some laying around.

The light I received isn’t completely a DBS v3 (the tube is probably form an DBS 5s) but I can’t complain because it looks even better in my opinion.
I asked him also for a OP reflector, but he said he didn’t have one. But to my surprise there was an OP reflector installed :sunglasses: .



Nice vid. :slight_smile:
Nice music. :slight_smile:

The head is somewhat dusty inside. Bezel is very thick. I spotted no issues larger than this.

Throw? :slight_smile:

That O-ring was driving me buggy.

Every time I unscrew my Q8 and try to rescrew it back, I always end up with a little black “tongue” sticking out.

If I ain’t careful, I could tighten it to the point of lopping it off.

Always gotta loosen it, poke it in, tighten a little, poke some more, tighten, poke, tighten, poke, etc., about a dozen times by the time it’s tucked in enough that it ain’t gonna pop out again. :confounded:

I picked up a Utorch Q2 under another name from the thrift store for a buck .18leds@250 lumens Hi/Med/Low rechargeable desk lamp with the blue green red colors in the base for no apparent reason and a cool see thru clock date temp alarm etc .

Considering it cost me next to nothing I'd say I'm kind of impressed .I agree with the reviewers opinion that it seems a little lightweight ... but whether that is an issue or actually a plus remains to be seen .

Hi all, new here, Phillip from South Africa. Hope im writing in the right place.
The Fenix range torches is my favorite, except for a few silly ones. My issue is
after my TK11 got stolen, i went and got a replacement, but the new one does not have the smooth reflector,
instead it has like a orange peel surface, and its notably dimmer than my old one
does anybody know the thinking behind this please?

Thank you. :slight_smile:

I need this

They are on a flash sale at Gearbest right now . I didn't realize it was rechargeable when I got it so imagine my surprise when the light stayed on after I unplugged it .Mine came with a regular 5v.wall wort so I didn't expect that.

Received my first BLF Q8 yesterday. This light is amazing! The “BLF” inscription fits perfectly because it’s cheap and does not fail in making you have fun!

As a friend of mine said after using it, “this is the coolest flashlight you ever bought”.

Today I received a headlamp; a cheapy similar to the D25 that has been reviewed a few times here. Mine is the single LED version, also available under some other names. Mine was from an Aliexpress seller.

I bought it without a cell as I have plenty of known quality ones already.

I have already done the simplest mod. I replaced the reflector with an optic I had. The optic was one of those 20mm diameter types that come with a white or black plastic holder. I removed the holder and after filing down the diameter a small amount, the optic fits very well. When the lens cap/ring is screwed back on with the stock glass lens in place it is a nice tight fit. The optic is a 60-degree type IIRC. The beam is nicer, for my purposes than the original with the reflector that has a pronounced hot spot.

The UI is actually not bad at all. I may not touch the driver, but I may swap the emitter for something a little warmer. Have to look through the parts on hand.

Hard to beat for about $10.

FWIW….

We have almost no bare light or white colored walls. If I had a wider optic I would even try it. They make 90 and 120 degree versions.

My second son…

Congratulations! :partying_face:
