Cool white and neutral white versions are available.
Exactly… They already had good driver like the one used in NE01 so this is disappointing. No long press to turn off is major drawback imho.
It’s a shame because I like the look of this light, the compact size and steel head…
What about modding potential? Is it glued or there’s driver access? In light of the above driver swap is essential.
The tailcap can be unscrewed to insert 18650 battery, and that is all. Head part is firmly glued together.
The Nitenumen X1 driver reminds me the cheap XANES WT518 or XANES 1301 flashlights - the are also USB rechargeable.
The body of X1 is of better design and the bezel is stainless steel, but apart from that, their functionality is the same.
And a little surprise: Nitenumen’s home page does not have a Nitenumen X1 model… A C10 flashlight is similar in looks, but its functionality is better.
Seems unlikely. You would lose the built in charging for one thing. It also looks like the switch is attached to the driver. So you need to rig up a new side switch. It’s not worth it for me to try and swap a driver.
That’s a shame and wasted potential… there’s not that many nice looking flashlights with steel bezel and decent price. Standard alu bezels are not very durable and dents or chips after just one drop…
