I got my light and the spring bypass changed to double springs. I think the small ones are berilyum-coppers because of the color.
It puts out 18300 Zozz lumens with 4 fully charged LG HG2 at start.
Very nice, that is what I was hoping they would do. Much better then the bypasses they were using. These are simpler and much more reliable for production.
For production it is safe and good and the 18300 lumens is brutal but as a modder I want the max.
So I removed the little spring inside and done 18 AWG wire bypass.
Also added more solder to spring base. And I saw that the mark on battery contact board was only a small dot which is the spring end. I bented down the spring end a little and after that I see a circle mark so the spring contacts even and a much bigger area.
I don’t know yet. I’m at work and literally nothing to do so I brought in the flashlight to play with and do the bypasses.
I have 9 and a half hour left here so tomorrow morning I will get the numbers when I get home.
So… I had time to play with that light. I’am impressed, it’s really very bright and at the same time very handy.
For me personally the light could have mehr throw and less flood. It’s not so glare-free at higher levels. A smaller spot would help there. And I lost the turn on button (temporarily) - it should be glued or maybe it should be bigger at it’s footprint.
