In detail:
About Led and beam:
XM-L2 U2, smooth reflector,
2 gif for compare the beam, I will use another 3 good EDCs for me; Zebralight SC62w, Armytek Prime C2 warm and Nitecore P12GT
Simple Interface:
Reverse clicky, 3 modes. Low,Medium,High,Low,Medium….
The light has memory of last mode used.
Some about runtime and modes:
First of all, I test with my lux box calibrated with Fenix lights and this are my estimated lumens Vs Lumintop officail modes (my values are only estimated):
Now a short runtime without fan cooled for see the step in detail.
Only one step with Lumintop Prince, and the value after step down is over 500 lumens (good enough for this size)
Finally, a complete runtime with 3400 battery, first 18 minutes withou fan, but in this moment I prefer turn on the fan, more than 500 lumens for this size over 20 minutes and the light is now very hot: I turn off when light is on, I read voltage: 2.85V.
If you like it…;-), I appreciatte if you use the link of my Blog review (I have on the way now another unit Stainless steel , this bought by me)
I may I offer the good price, after a long and laborious review that has taken many hours. I do not like to put a price with Affiliates only get a few cents because if I think there before test flashlights and spend an effort to show them, of course this is just my opinion …. Greetings ….
