I already have 2 power cords. SUPERINGHT and the faulty SMPS one where they do not want it back,I guess shipping a faulty piece of junk would be more of a loss for them. No complaints,free power cord and reimbursed in 3 hours!
OK,Thanks,glad I asked. It is confusing because when I saw 5.5mm/2.5mm to 5.5mm to 2.1mm I thought it was right. the female/male part was what Screwed[!] me up!
Is Lite-on as good as Hitachi? I am glad the lite on is new.
Thanks Gausse,Your intelligence is comparable to My Friend Dr. Eissler whose mom was from Germany!!,still a step behind from my 1/8 German and Italian people!!!
EDIT: GAUSSE,that adapetr is coming from China!!
Item location:
guangzhou,guangdong, China Delivery:
Estimated between Fri. May. 5 and Mon. Jun. 12
Nice!! Can you put a link to where you got it Wolfdog please.
Was the barrel plug the right size or did you get an adapter?
Thanks for your research & testing on this.
Sorry,can not provide the info,u never answered my email!!! :smiling_imp:
I do not have the adapters yet. However, it fits fine,you can barely tell it is slightly bigger. Adapter really is not needed but since I ordered a few I will probably us them. Mr. Opus is happy.
Settimio told me about it. $10.45 ,3 days from Calif. to Suburban Philly. :+1:
If you decide to get barrel connector adapters I would recommend the ones below.
They are at a right angle which saves me room because my Fenix ARE-C2 is right in front of the Opus.
Plus its arrival date is anywhere b/w 10 and 26 days earlier than the first Two I got which are straight. I could get mine next week. These are coming from China like the first two I ordered.
Keep in mind, Wolfdog1226/Capolini and others that the Inside temp. was:
EDIT: It is 84F outside and 77F in my condo. The SUPERNIGHT MAX TEMP. was 94F.
The indoor temp for yesterdays initial test was 67F and today is 66F. The Lite-on has the pleasure of being in 10 and 11 degree cooler testing environment.
With that said, I doubt if the Lite-on would reach 94F under the same circumstances as the Supernight in 77F degree flashlight laboratory temperatures!
My 4 X 18650 Orbtronics are at 3.70V now,charging after the discharge test. The external temp. of the Lite-on is 68F. The peak temp is ~ 4.10v .I will re check it then.
ALL in all this is not a fair test until Flashlight laboratory is the same temp. for the Lite-on! It does give an indication that Lite-on is working well and not under stress! :sunglasses:
Supernight
Indoor temperature- 77F/25C
Max external temp.–94F/34C
Difference:17F/9C
Lite-on
Indoor temperature:66F/19C
Max external temp.–69F/20C
Difference:3F/1C
When The temperature reaches 77F/25C in my condo I will do another test w/ the Lite-on. MY guess is that its external temperature will not exceed 84F/29C. :sunglasses:
Photos of the S’night 2.1mm Barrel Connector and the Lite-on 2.5mm Barrel connectors.
The holes themselves seem identical in SIZE. The smaller S’night 2.1mm seems to use a spring loaded pin/clip, almost like a flexible cotter pin to reduce the size.
Supernight 2.1mm
Lite-on 2.5mm-Angle shot I turned this around in Post image,it will Not display that way on here???
Lite-on on TOP-Sorry for the blurry picture.
Side by side. Lite-on is on top. It has a shorter :exposed” barrel.
Upon further review I would definitely get the adapters. It works but connectivity can be a problem at times. I just moved the unit slightly and it shut off. A proper 2.1mm connection will make it much more secure.
I got a 10’ cable 5.5mm X 2.5m female to 5.5mm X 2.1mm Male coming on Friday!!! :sunglasses: YES,IT IS 10’!! But I can use it for a few weeks at least until the single pieces come from China!
Wolf-dawg…… I crown you—— Power Supply & Adapter Connector —- Finder & Tester Extraordinaire. …. With the help of your willing & worthy assistant guass163 giving technical advice of course. :+1:
AFAIK You should be good to go as long as they send “Us” the right ones!! :+1:
The right angle ones are more beneficial for my use[mentioned in earlier post] and according to their time line and my calculations they will be here 10 to 26 days sooner than the Straight ones from China.
