Hi …
Just ordered.
One of each and two short tubes.

Thanks

Just ordered one NW and a short tube and a Samsung battery.

Neal clarified :

following countries need to add shipping difference:

Serbia, Uruguay, Crotia, Saudi Arabia, south Africa,Indonesia
india,Russian,Brazil,Bulgaria,Macedonia,Oman,Slovenia

Not sure if this has already been discussed somewhere, but is this a limited run or are there plenty available? I put down for one originally and have received my email but I need to get one for a friend as well, can I just order two straight away or do I need to wait to order the second one?

there are several available

just order them

Just bought 1 x NW, 1 x short tube, 1 x holster

Thanks!

I just filled out the form, hoping to be able to order soon. :slight_smile:

Martin or Neal, can you clarify if it will have the big letters on the battery tube? This is a last minute change that really bothers me.

Just ordered one NW and a short tube

Thanks Martin!

Neal will speak with Lumintop

Is there any difference in output depending on which cell is used? Does it need buttontop cells to work?

It has a spring on the driver so flat tops will work fine.

18650 cells can vary a lot depending on the model. So if it can maintain a certain voltage under load it will give the full output.

If you want the most run time at 4.5A (regulated output) you need an unprotected high drain battery. There are many to choose like 30Q, VTC6.

If you use a high quality protected battery it will have an extra voltage drop which means it will fall out of regulation sooner. So less time at 4.5A. You would need protection circuits capable of 7A, I think.

Both types will work to give full output, though. If your not sure about a certain battery just ask.

Thanks Jason,
I was just wandering if there would a big difference between a sanyo GA and Samsung 30Q. both unprotected.

There is a bit of difference since the 30Q is a high drain and the GA is a high capacity.

I like to use HKJ’s battery comparator. Load up both batteries, set it to show 5A and you can see that the 30Q will have less voltage sag giving you more regulated run time. The GA will give you more unregulated runtime.

In the real world you might not notice these differences. Both are good batteries.

I would stay away from the Panasonic NCR18650B, though. I had this picture already so I figured I’d post it.

Even at 3A, the Panny B has big voltage sag. At 5A the sag is even greater. The GA, 35E and MJ1 are all good high capacity cells if you need max runtimes down to the low voltage protection.

I prefer sticking to high drain and swapping batteries once it gets down to 3.7v or 3.6v.

Just ordered now, one CW with holster and sony VTC6 thanks Martin thanks Neal.

Ordered

I filled out the form this morning. Anything I need to do except for waiting for the code?

You just need to wait for Martin to send you the purchase info. He’s in Austria so he might be asleep right now. Are you in the same time zone?

Still, if you signed up this morning it seems like he should have sent you the info earlier today. There are plenty of lights, so no need to rush. I’m sure he will contact you soon.
