My PL47 just hit the USA. 17TRACK showed it as not even received from the seller on the China end all this time. This is how bad overseas tracking is. You have to be patient. Then there’s the slow cargo ship that got caught in a big storm, my flashlight went overboard, got swallowed by a kracken, he shat it out, a dolphin found it and used it to light his way to Nova Scotia, he passed it to some Canadian geese who used it to light their way flying to Florida for the Winter, they dropped it (butterfingers) over the harbor in NYC, it landed on a pimp who traded it for some rock candy with a lady who also works at a mail sorting center, it then fell out of her pocket and got scanned into the USPS shipping system and now I have some tracking finally. Whew. Look at the positive, at least it’s tested as working
Just received mine. At first it worked fine, but after I unscrewed battery tube and screwed it back, flashlight stared on turbo and can’t be turned off. The only way to turn it off is to unscrew tail cap. I tested with LG 21700 which i got with the light and Sanyo GA with the adapter.
Any idea why is wrong with it?
It’s in the PL47 config file, but if I recall correctly I think the default ceiling is set to ramp level 120 of 150. And I think that works out to about a 30% to 50% of the full lumen output, but with all the nonlinear response curves involved it’s hard to say exactly without measuring.
If a light is in full turbo any time power is connected, that usually indicates a short somewhere, allowing current to bypass the driver and go straight to the LEDs.
I bought the XPL Hi V2 3A 5000K Neutral White. I’ve been reading about some battery restrictions for the Nichia 219B. Other than some of the size issues are there any amp issues? Can I use an EFEST 35A for example?
mine had a low mode and it was blinking because it did not have good contact. I have to tighten the rear cap quite strongly. your apparently has a more serious problem.
