Not sure why you would need to mechanically lock out this light. The button is low profile and needs a good amt of pressure to activate it. Even if turbo is activated, it knocks down to hi in 90 secs, and with a 0.012 mA parasitic drain, it would take about 38 years to drain a 4000 mAh cell.

Edit: I'm sure there's still a good reason for lockout to prevent activation. Suppose could still occur, just harder to get it to happen. Also gives you that piece of mind.

Man, I feel like I’m the only one who hasn’t received my light yet. I guess I’m just being impatient. :frowning:

I haven’t gotten mine yet eaither Dwantink. Ordered it on the 8th of Dec.

FREEME, You are so awesome, WOW That is a deal… Thank you for sending PM
This has to be the best deal all year,
Just looked back at my BG orders and this is actually a better price than what I paid for the DQG 4th Tiny 18650
If I hadn’t used a coupon with the 18650 the price would have been… Guess… ha ha :laughing: :+1: ,
Thanks again… G.

Got my grey nw today!! Man this thing really is tiny for a 26650 light, It’s awesome. Although, it is not as bright as my blf A6 in 5A tint is substantially brighter. So to verify, to get to turbo you just hold the button down?

When torch is off hold the button down to get go straight to turbo if its turned on then a quick double press will activate turbo.

Yes, hold down from OFF. Bright may have a couple meanings. If you mean distance - yes, the A6 probably out throws the Tiny 26650, but in total light output (i.e. lumens), the Tiny 26650 should easily beat the A6. At best, the A6 5A is maybe 1,300-1,500 lumens while the Tiny 26650 should be right there in the 2,500 range as spec'd and as I measured in Turbo mode. Maybe you are comparing hi mode to a max mode of the A6? If so, the Tiny is about 900 lumens in hi, so isn't as bright.

Ordered NW black, thanks Freeme appreciate your efforts.

My grey NW arrived yesterday. Very pleased, and amazed at how tiny it is! Barely larger than the Basen 4500mah cell I'm running it on.

Will be ordering a black CW today! Thank you freeme!!

Mine holds at over 900 lumens on hi for more than 2 hours of pretty much straight running. Nothing else can do this near it's size I know of.

I'm really lik'n this light the more I use and carry it. Just might go for the switch change to activate it easier, and I find the triple click to lo annoying. Think if I swap the 2.4 ohm (lo mode) with the 750 ohm (med mode), I could get 1 click to lo, 2 clicks to hi, 3 clicks to med, then the modes would cycle hi-med-lo, which isn't all that bad.

Hhmmm. Also might try stacking on the 0.3 ohm resistor to boost turbo, but not too crazy - maybe try a 0.75 on top of it.

I’d like to see price, thx freeme

You’re right Tom E, I took them both outside right now and wow. This thing is awesome I love it!! I also really like the gtd oring under the optic!! Thanks Freeme!!

hi guys! what 26650 battery can you recommend for this high performing light for maximum output?

freeme.
Please send me the purchase code for the DQG Tiny 26650.

Thanks

Got mine today (the order that wasn’t cancelled). These things are impressive from stock. I have some of the previous version, one or two that I modified. Waiting for nightfall but it looks like this version’s driver is much more powerful. The head gets hotter faster, overall output is higher as well as throw.

At least that’s what it looks like to my eyes in the day…

I still get the old “Your item has been processed through a facility in HANGZHOU EMS, CHINA at 9:48 pm on December 27, 2016.”

Anyone have both so we can see the difference between the NW and CW version? I have the NW, which is warm on lower settings and looks good on turbo but may also get the CW if it’s 5700k range. Thanks!

I feel your pain Dale, I’m usually one of the last to receive a light due to my location. Kinda odd really since Aus is closer to china than US.

Anyway I did some testing of current tonight, sorry no lux or output measurements. The stock standard version 2 that I initially used for some reason would not go into turbo after the first time so I went to the second and last stock DQG26650 I had available. Test is not super accurate as I used the power supply to give me the numbers. It was all visual so give or take 0.1a and 2seconds. Input voltage set at 4v. I used an IR temp gun on the outside of the head at 60 seconds also (all of the heads were uncomfortable to hold at 60 seconds… according to me)

The Line up -

  1. new model
  2. 4x xpl hi 2s2p original driver with turbo resistor bridged
  3. version 2 completely stock
  4. part 2 version 2 completely stock
  5. 4x xhp35 4p (I think neutral tint)

New
Low - 0.06a
Med - 0.57a
High - 1.78a
Turbo - 6.6a
Turbo at 30s - 6.15a
Turbo at 60s - 5.50a
Temp at 60s - 53 degrees C

Mod 1 - 4x xpl hi (2s2p), Driver has turbo resistor bridged
Low - 0.01a
Med - 0.15a
High - 0.62a
Turbo - 7.02a
Turbo at 30s - 5.80a
Turbo at 60s - 5.41a
Temp at 60s - 53 degrees C

Old version (v2?) completely stock
Low - 0.01a
Med - 0.28a
High - 1.14a
Turbo - 4.90
Turbo at 30s - 4.63a
Turbo at 60s - 4.47a

Mod 2 - 4x xhp35 hi (parallel), driver has turbo resistor bridged
Low - 0.01a
Med - 0.33a
High - 1.40a
Turbo - 5.32a
Turbo at 30s - 4.76a
Turbo at 60s - 4.53a

After doing this test I tried to resolder the jumper on the mod 2 turbo. When i retested the results were the same.

I was wondering if the driver draws more power when it’s boosting less…?? If the new driver is like that… :smiling_imp:

Received the light today!

Got mine today. Love it. Ui is not so bad. Wish turbo was in the mode sequence though. And if it actually had memory instead of always starting on medium, this light would have been one of my top purchase for a stock light! I’m diggin the glow in the dark inside the bezel too!
