Gimme the Ti-lan please. This one is perfect with the upgraded reflector. Just give an option without any hidden carnival modes ;). Mine. Moonlight-low-med-high-(turbo). comes on in low or med. PWM doesnât matter as long as the frequency is high enough for the PWM-Taliban not able to detect it without camera settings etc ;). CRI doesnât matter much on this kins of light as long as it isnât obviously reddish (mistaken by some for âhigh CRIâ, the CRI Taliban). Just 5000-5500 proper ânatural whiteâ LED please.
Itâs true. Olightâs 14500 is about 1-2 mm longer than my Eneloop.
Btw hereâs my investigation:
Spring Swap
Pineappleâs back spring is a bit thick and long. So I suspected that this may caused the problem. It even made my Olight battery a bit dented inside (see picture).
So I swapped the spring with another one taken from dead driver. Itâs shorter and slimmer, I think itâs better than original one because it has golden color :laughing:
It works BUT only when the tail is not fully tightened.
FAILED.
More insulation
I thought that the problem was short circuit with the retainer ring at its tailcap. So I added nail paint into the retainer ring as well as around the negative pole of the battery to avoid short contact.
The result is still the same as above. Only working when the head or tailcap is a bit loosen.
FAILED
Magical Stuff
Just when I didnât know what to do, I tried to loosen the retainer ring for driver a bit. Just in case it will work.
Some times Iâve had to cut the wrap from the neg end of the cell back even with edge of the cell to make contact on some lights and some cells,
Iâm using the WindyFire 14500 cells with this pineapp and they are perfect in flat and button, that cell looks sort of scuffed up on the wrap so, just a thought.
