Eneloops can surprisingly handle a huge amount of current for a lot of power. But capacity is limited, so more lumens means little runtime. Not to mention heat will become a problem as well. However, another overlooked issue is compatibility with alkaline in case of emergency for example. A 1000 lumen 4xAA light like the Thrunite TN4A is probably too demanding for alkaline resulting in wasting batteries at turbo level.
So about 500 lumens for this Jetbeam is really nice. Light intensity is also not perceived linearly, so it’s not going to be a huge difference with 1000 lumens as well.
The forward clicky switch means no parasitic drain. This will benefit the low self discharge property of Eneloops for a care free storing of the light. It’s a winner!
(Oh… I am playing with my SRT9 since 3 or 4 days ago…and really, the flashlight have not doubt, best things of EC 4 series,……and best of SRT series in this design)
information on screen: Voltage, Time of charge, mA inserted, resistence (mR), speed of charge.
Each channel have his button, clic on it for change between voltage, time of charge,….
There are also other 2 buttons: for change speed charge and mode.
Nitecore TUBE:
Around 3 years ago I present one of my first review….yes, not a perfect review, but there are interesting information about Nitecore TUBE. The actual version of this implement the lock out option for avoid accidental turn on events… My old review nitecore TUBE (in 2014)
There are 3 colours in promotion now. Blue and black are my preferred!, transparent …less….
Rofis TR10, XP-L Hi V3. Really mini…mini. I love it. Is a EDC capable for a headband, for hook into a pocket,…
L shapped and not L shapped, you choose in any moment!
1xCR123a / 1x16340
XP-L Hi V3
Clip
Alert for low voltaje on switch
Turbo 900 lumens (ovbiously step down)
Magnet (of course removable)
I relation with this TR10, I like it, but I have checked that the advise for low battery in the side switch is for indicate voltage is 2,6V…. This means that is useful for a primary CR123a, but for 16340 protected have no sense…
Other option, today I have bought 2 items of 3pcs refill (total 6 refill) + 1 Pen Xiaomi Mijia (2.11$): shipping cost registered for Spain 0 USD...(and I use some points of discount of my account!).
Now I have a Nitecore Concept 1, and I feel I can comment the coupon with the forum, I prefer to make sure that a product is decent before recommending.
True, the Nitecore Concept 1 has a “different or odd” style design … but it has elegance and is pretty …. on the other hand it is a devil with a good battery IMR inside ….
The clip and interface is also different from what I’ve seen so far, but for classic switch I already have a dozen flashlights (really many more than that, you know) …. It’s original and comfortable in use, Remember to block, there are many lumens locked in this strange but beautiful flashlight.
Let’s not forget the powerful magnet and clip … (well, the clip is another story, it’s strong enough, although I would have preferred a little more to the end of the body
I have the E10R sometime ago. Is a perfect EDC, runs with NiMH and 14500, powerful, and can recharge 14500 correctly (the NiMH charge function, is not really useful). For the price one of the recomended at this moment as EDC 1xAA-14500, and with the plus of recharge the 14500.
