Very nice, thanks for the detailed review!
Any idea on parasitic drain from the e-switch?
Very nice, thanks for the detailed review!
Any idea on parasitic drain from the e-switch?
“_High (Efest 14500) : 42 minutes (until first “LVP” warning)
When battery voltage is below 3V drops to the lowest mode
High (Eneloop AA) : 55 minutes (until shutdown)
When battery voltage is equal or below 1V shuts down_”
Is it common for the LVP to keep on draining an unprotected Lithium Ion battery while a NiMh cell is simply shut down via the same LVP?
Thanks for the review! A few questions for you:
How much PWM with this one? I would also like to know if it has a lockout mode.
Thanks Matt
Syrbuff has a youtube review on this light.
sb56637 , as i mentioned on the review it it 0,014mA .
Freedom , it is designed from the factory like that i guess .
peteybaby , No there isn’t lock out mode . It has a fairly good regulation , no visible dimming , until battery is not able to provide the required current of course . Only if you press the switch for a second time exactly after you release the switch it enters strobe .
mattlward , i will measure PWM frequency tonight .
Thank you George.
No lockout mode? I thought the light would lockout if the head is half turned?
Yes , this is phusical lockout (if light has anodized threads , as ut01 has).
Thank you for all the info giorgoskok.
Would you know the lumen values for the different modes?
I might get a couple more while the price is good, if the spacing is to my liking.
Thanks
I’ll give you an estimation :
Lowest - 10-25 lm
Low - 70 lm
Medium - 270 lm
High - 775 lm
A little bit disappointed,
OP updated with runtime for Medium mode , with AA .
Why , if i may ask ?
Just saw your edit.
Since a 50.6mm cell fits & works, I don’t see why a 50.5mm protected XTAR 14500 wouldn’t.
Do you have any XTAR 14500s (or any other 14500 protected of about that size) to check if they fit?
I have the same cell you mentioned (xtar 14500 protected) , and it’s actually longer (50.9mm - 51mm) and it doesn’t work .
Can you just remove the protective pcb to make it fit?
I have several of those in transit to my place.
Battery’s pcb ? Yes (but not really good solution)
How about clip? I have a similar light with a similar clip, and I can not insert easy, is very closed for the flashlight
Regards
Clip is really hard to insert too.
