You sure you charged ’em?
Ok , 16340 …
I charged up some 16340 , these are really old unprotected 16340 , but always performed well .
They came of the charger at some 4.09 volts …
Low / med / high output was a match for the 18650 …
What surprised me was the output on Turbo , 1300+ Lumens which ran for all of about 5 seconds before the thermal protection kicked in …
I get the feeling that perhaps this light might be meant for the 3v rechargeable 16340 … ( 3.6v ’ish fully charged ) ??
Because Turbo on the 4.2v Fully charged 16340 ( well , 4.09v ) really pumped …
There does not seem to be any advantage using 16340 ( 3.7 nominal ) for output in the other modes .
And 5 seconds of Turbo is ( ? ) …
I dont have any Primary CR123 that are new … I have some old ones in my Surefire …
Yep , pretty much spent after all these years … ( Just tested )
Might have to order a 17650 for the 6P surefire …
Sorry about that guys , all my Primaries are like seriously old and I should probably toss them … ( Confirmed )
Hi Zanflare, I visit your website. How to get a F2?
Thank you, Zanflare. I will check out them .
ordered it
The waterproof of F1 is excellent . One night I walked in the heavy rain with Zanflare F1. It worked well all the way.
thank you too
me too
Quick regarding the review.
A notice there two version of the zanflare F1, a 4500-5000k and a 6000-6000k.
Which version did you review?
Which version would you recommend?
Thanks in advance
PS: Great review.
Mine must be the cool white … ( 6000k )
Just depends on how much a purple tinge on the edge of the beam offends you ? ( White walling )
Some folks just love warmer emitters ( nice yellow light ) …
Apples and oranges …
Hi Guys
Could you recommend me which flashlight diffuser or aka traffic wand that fit well to zanflare f1 ?
Been searching high and low but most fit up to 25.4mm.
Thanks
My suggestion, search for “diffuser” on these stores (that are both Kaidomain, one on AliExpress, the other, the KD store):

Hope this helps
Anyone has measurement of kcd for both NW and CW?
Is it meeting spec of 16kcd?
Thanks.
Thanks for the review, it made a difference deciding to buy one.
For or against? :smiling_imp:
Bought one when the price was about $12 (it’s gone back up again)
The F1 is about $16 right now on Amazon. Seems good enough to give away as xmas gift at work.
…and 1-2 for yourself.
