The new best headlight

[soundwave]

my action cam is naff in low light but it goes further than my other light.

the lens is lots better tho at throwing the beam, both around the same power tho.

Only winding you up after all the time and effort you put in setting it up.

Thankfully with SW on ignore I can't see any of that crap, but in any event.... I'd rather be out actually riding a bike off road at night using a reliable set up, than staying indoors trying to achieve something that can be bettered for less than a tenner.

All that doomed effort just to ride on a poxy public footpath!

yet you use shite fake cells to run ur lights pmsl at least i have made my own battery pack with adjustable voltage and got parts on order to even make my own light with more high power leds.

at the end of the day you are just a boring old fart and a slow one at that as well

Second light turned up and am a happy man!

I have found trying to find and press the flat buttons is difficult when wearing gloves and continue cycling, so came up with a solution to punch/cut tiny bits of thick plastic rubbish and superglue onto the buttons. Different thickness for each button so is easy to find through thick gloves in the dark.
et voila.

Anyone had one apart yet?, my don't work anymore but I can't get it apart

 

[soundwave]

if it has stopped working then the led and the driver will be toast so not much point tbh.

did the seller give you a refund?

 

[STEVEMANFA]

Yep no probs I had a full refund.

Get a pipe wrench on that collar and make it have it.

 

[soundwave]

they might have glued it on mind and that white stuff is a pita to remove as heat resistant as well.

Best place will be the bin I think,

View attachment 16159 bugger it i thought i got it the wrong way round after i paid for it lol.

the new light is more focused better lens but brightness wise there both the same.

i got some 18650 cell holders coming so can use 4 cells and then use the step down converter for that.

this is what the cree uses power wise

Quick question . . How much do the genuine Panasonic batteries weigh.

 

[soundwave]

the spec says 48.5g ill weigh one in a bit but just have kitchen scales so might be out a bit.

Thanks . . I ordered D8veh's new best headlight which has now arrived and followed your recommendation for the batteries and battery box which have been delivered this week. So would like to compare the battery weight as a difference in weight would indicate them as being fakes.

yeah you can sort of tell buy the waight but the only way for sure is to discharge test them but they should be fine tho
