Your pics are good as I have a tree around 400 yards away and the V6 lights it up strongly. I was really surprised and purchased another V6 after that. One thing I like about the USB port is that it allows the battery to vent if there is a battery problem instead of pressurizing the battery tube. I know this because every time I put the battery in the charging port flap pops open.
I got to studying the pictures on my computer screen and then went out and shined the light at that same spot again (from the tripod) , using binoculars to see the treeline and marker.
The reflection up closer does make the light look brighter up close in the photo with the white sand , but at the treeline , in the picture that I enlarged , it is actually fairly close from what I can tell with the binoculars and standing right where I had the camera sitting to take the photo.
I guess what I am saying is , the picture is a little deceiving as far as the up close spill in the 400 yard shot because of reflection off the sand , but at the same time the light on target is represented fairly close to what I see in the enlarged photo at 400 yards.
From your pics, it's easy to see the reflection off the sand and doesn't take away from the actual brightness of the trees at 400 yards. I knew right away when I saw your pic it was very close to what I am seeing with my V6 at that distance. The V6 is a keeper, that's all I can say!
Wow I didn’t know shipping was that expensive to get things there. Hopefully HKE will get a few in stock soon.
I know what ya mean about don’t “NEED” another flashlight………I am at 140 now I think , or pretty close , but never have too many……
At least that’s my theory , wife has different thoughts at times I do believe. :innocent:
Have you tried Amazon.de yet? A marketplace seller „HoPE GmbH“ sells it for € 79,95 plus shipping. I don‘t know if they would ship to Denmark but maybe it’s worth a try.
No I didn’t even think about that to be honest. I did the run time test listed in the charts in OP , starting in Turbo and just let the light run from there until it shut down.
It may take a while to get the result , but I can discharge the cell on my Opus charger to around 3.7 and then start checking Turbo mode from there I guess.
Thank a lot. Since you’re going to discharge your cell, I think you should test from higher voltage, like from 4.0, 3.9, 3.8….until you can’t activate turbo mode.
OK I have the results from my testing of the voltage needed for Turbo mode to activate. I turned the light on in Turbo mode each time I checked the voltage and lumens , let it stay on for 30 seconds , turned the light off and then discharged the cell a little more to do the next step.
I made a simple chart as to what the cell voltage was and also noted the lumens at each voltage or step of the testing.
Of course as would be expected , the lumens are much lower than what you will get from a fully charged cell.
Here is the chart with those results and I am also editing the OP and the chart will be there as well.
