Great review, I have one on the way to meā¦
I agree that the price of Rofis lights are a little bit higher than others, but I believe that there is a coupon that brings ti price of MR70 to 50$ā¦
Canāt remember who have a coupon for it, maybe
M4DM4X??
Is that a mistake? Could you please double check it because on their site it says that discharging current is 2.2A. If it is only 0,75A, it will be disappointingly slow!
Received my MR70, and I am so impressed with quality and simplicity of this multifunctional flashlight.
Also I can confirm that power bank function will deliver more power then stated in OP, but it will mainly depend on device you are charging,and how much power it needā¦
At least it has charging capability, but if it didnāt use the OTG cable, youād need a full-size USB A port on it. But yeah, one more thing to keep track of.
I just finished testing of Rofis 26650 battery, and results are more then good !!
First of all, manufacturer of cell is definitely same as one of the best cells out there Littokala 5000mah and 5500mah. As you can see from the picture cells are identical, only wrapping is different.
And now the best part! After I completely discharged Rofis battery to 2.75V, I put it on a slow rate charge with 500mA on Zanflare charger, and got nearly 6000mAh !!!
I donāt know about you guys but this is the highest capacity high drain battery I have ever seen!!
A while back I communicated that sentiment to Rofis and they decided to offer NW versions in their new line of angle lights, so now their latest release, the R3 is available in either NW 5000K or CW6500K.
I also referenced the MR70 in my inquiry and it wasnāt excluded in their reply, so maybe they eventually will offer the a NW option for it too.
And now thereās yet another new light in the category of the MR70 thatās available in CW only: The Lumintop ODF30
So between the three, TC20, MR70 and ODF30, the TC20 is the only one currently available with a NW option.
You can have the same CRI at any temp, and CW LEDs are more efficient so youāll get longer runtimes providing you cap the lumens at the same levels. I.e. an Emisar running at 1000 lumens in both CW and NW flavours will see the NW run out of juice first.
Thanks, I donāt recall ever reading any discussion of the heat or runtime thing of CW vs NW, just a lot about color rendering for NW.
Not saying it hasnāt been discussed, but I personally donāt recall anyone raving about a great High CRI cool white either. I do have a High CRI triple Nichia 219C R9050 in 5700K, and itās a bit too cold for my liking, but it does have great color rendering.
I think deciding on a NW or CW is completely subjective to the users preference of light color, much more than a decision based on minor brightness, heat or runtime differences.
For example Iād gladly sacrifice a few lumens, a bit less runtime and a bit more heat to have NW. For someone who truly prefers a NW tint I doubt they would change to a CW because it āgives (edit:slightly) brighter light, cooler temps and longer runtimesā. JMTC
