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.
The Hitachi was not meant to be. I said I wanted a brand NEW SMPS.Not a USED one like the Hitachi was.
However,along with a BLF members suggestion[can’t recall his name]and before my Cousin Settimio[Electrical engineer] convinced me, I emailed the Ebay Hitachi dealer to see if it was a 2.1mm connector:
Hitachi OEM Genuine 60W 12V 5A ADP-60WB AC Power Adapter Supply for LCD Monitor
New message from: usefulgadget Top Rated Seller(232,595RedShooting Star)
Sadly it is no longer available. We will be doing a sweep later to close these listings when we doublecheck the system for inventory count.
For this item, it was a 5.5mm outer by 2.1mm inner.
