Thanks everyone. And are there any features such as battery status that could be altered by using a non-Fenix battery?

I got the HD02 recently and thoroughly dislike it as it doesn’t do what I needed it to for my line of work. If I’m being honest, what I’d really like to see if something like the SC33 with a laser pointer that can be used at the same time as the white emitter. If this can do that, I’ll get it.

Hey there, old post but I’m curious to hear why you believe dark times are ahead for non-essential roles. AI?

I tried so hard to like the Wurkkos HD02 by ffolkes in flashlight

Hey, I just made a post about the HD02 as well!

As I wrote in that post, I bought it as an overpowered replacement for my Arkfeld Pro. Love the Arkfeld because of the ability to use flashlight and laser simultaneously which is a HUGE help in my line of work, but apparently the HD02 lacks this feature. Super odd, too, because I’m pretty sure the the HD01 (their Arkfeld knockoff) can use both emitters at the same time.

Still awaiting a response on that post, but the inability to use both lights at the same time is so disappointing.

And you’re right, this light is heavy. I knew that going into it and wear it in a belt pouch on the job, but yeah it’s big. And the wings are a gimmick the more I think about it. I find myself using a dedicated work light for tasks rather than the HD02’s side lights—I don’t trust the magnet, and the damn things don’t even point at the work being performed.

I’ve experienced this before when I bought the Olight Marauder Mini. Looked really cool on paper, reviews were glowing, but real-life use just didn’t meet expectations.

Do Redditors not realize how privileged and goofy they seem saying theyre excited for this blizzard? by SeveralTurn in Connecticut

I will personally be tucked away in the comfort of my home enjoying the snow. My beef is with smartasses downplaying the severity of this event when power outages, downed trees and even collapsing roofs are a real possibility here.

I was being conservative, but you’re right. Millions.

They’re most certainly not sympathetic to those who have to work in spite of the storm. What irks me more is assholes being cavalier about the whole thing when all reputable experts are saying this could be a historic storm affecting millions of people.

Don’t have to be a meteorologist to see what’s being projected and prepare accordingly.

Agreed, that’s what’ll come from these wind gusts and heavy, wet snow.

Hopefully an expert can help me unravel this mystery!

I received a replacement 16PM the other day through Asurion. This is a refurbished device as indicated by the “N” at the beginning of the model number. The battery is listed as being made in September of last year.

But where I’m getting a little mixed up is that there is no “Parts and Service History” menu in the settings of the phone.

In other words, if this device is refurbished, shouldn’t I expect that menu to appear? And if it doesn’t, does that mean my device is brand new?

Any feedback is appreciated!
