My Charger has both.
It has 4 battery contacts and is time based with a display showing the remaining charging time.
Its a “18V Ferm Premium Power” Charger.
I have to charge my new build Samsung 30Q Pack two times. If I charge it a third time, the display shows only 3-5 Minutes remaining time.
I think good and relative cheap equipment from the Netherlands.
Here is some crappy beam shots taken with my phone
Sofirn C8 Luxeon V
Thorfire C8S XP-L HI
Sofirn C8 Luxeon V (left) Thorfire C8S XP-L HI (right)
Both with a MTN-DDm driver and a VTC5. The XP-L HI draws 5.78A on high, and the Luxeon V 10.22 A, dropping to 9.33 @30 seconds.
The XP-L HI has the most throw and the Luxeon V has the most output. I am not the best photographer, but I will describe the beamprofile of the Luxeon V as a XM-L2 turned up to 11.
The Luxeon V puts out quite a bit of heat , I have just taken my old dog for a small walk maybe 10-15 min . I started out with a fresh VTC5 and ran it on high the whole time it did get hot but not to hot to hold. When I came home the battery was @ 3.66V and it pulled 6.22A on high.
I like the Luxeon V the tint and output is really great, but I don’t think a DD driver is best suited this LED. I have build a Eagle Eye X6 with a LD-B4 6A driver and I think it’s the perfect match for the Luxeon V because it gives you the ability to adjust the current in UI and chose between CC and DD on high mode.
Swapped the driver in mu Tool AA !
Big thanks to Giorgoskok for sending me a 15mm driver rocking Biscotti firmware !
Now all my Tool AA is missing is a decent clip to become my new EDC :
Based on this comment on another thread I got an Eagle Eye 18350 tube and tested with my HC30. It didn’t make contact, so I used thin strips of aluminium foil roled in positioned around the driver contact edge and a strop on the tail for it to work.
What it looses in waterproofness it gains in cuteness
Hey guys, need advice, have here JetBeam RRT-2 Raptor that I need to open (driver craped out). I have general idea how to do this but that implies applying force and I wouldnt want to screw something up (wrong way)
Grey Convoy S3 with 45 degree lens. Produces beautiful light from four E21A 5000K mounted on vr16sp4. Inside AMC7135*8 105C (3.04A) running on customized bistro-HD. One AMC7135 is connected to second star (PB0 pin) and firmware is built with support for double PWM, so really low-low moonlight and 380mA mode without PWM.
Looks like fun, I happen to have a Ti3 sitting in a draw somehwhere, great AAA host. Details please, what driver did you use to squeeze 6/12V out for the XHP50?
This is an old titanium Christmas edition from a few years ago UPz Review
I see there is now a completely different light called the Ti4.
There is a thread for it with some more info, click the picture
