It will be used as a headlamp (in the strap) less then 1% of the time.I have no worries about the strap.
99% of the time it will be hand held or clipped in the molle of a chest or leg pack .Or using the magnetic tail.
(Dioda) A rep from Rofis actually got back to me. : (more or less in broken english) “Most” of the time the charging stops not on the light side.The cable will still show power.
(then it is past my pay grade for electronics) Something about a self healing fuse built in the cable near the charge disc.If one was to bend it slightly,it will just start working again.
No idea what that means,but he said in nearly every case…thats the issue.
* Sadly I deleted the message. This fuse had a 3 or 4 letter acronym ,perhaps SHF…or something like that.
He made it seem that you literally just bend it a bit and it works fine again
I have read this stopped charge issue many time. This is one of the the quality issues that concerns me.
I mean for 80 bucks it should work right for a long long time.
I hope others chime on on these lights
**In private 2 asked me what is the use for the lights
As we have signed no NDA (yet). A platform of some type running LIDAR was running a grid, for some reason in the Yucatan.Besides countless (100s in fact) of hidden /un known temples and various large structures made of huge stones (hidden/swallowed by the jungle),it detected a huge tunnel complex.At least 37 miles long. LIDAR can also detect different materials. In the complex it found huge amounts of gold and other large metal objects,also a heat bloom. We will be going in to clear and recon it soon. We got cool Bark River Knives Bravo Machete :). Doubt any here are knife guys. Know that they are as crazy about bladed things as yall are about lights.Trust me.
Gave us Bark River Bravo machete CPM 1V and Bark River CPM 154 Bushbat
I own a Bark River 3V kephart and Bravo 1
I EDC a Bark River Mini kephart .93 CPM 3V
Dont want to get off topic, im sure its a no no
Thanks for welcome,just here for 3-5 days then gone forever =P
Many forums are full of trolls and,well…morons. People seem oddly normal here,helpfull
The work your top 3-5 top reviewers put in is frankly outstanding.
LONG, really detailed, GOOD HQ pics
Hardcore fans.
About the ROFIS R3 charging issue - yes, I saw the same thing about the resetable fuse, but due to bad english (translated from some comments in russian), I assumed the fuse is located in the cable magnetic head. Sent an email to manufacturer, perhaps they help me how to “bend” the fuse so the charging works properly again.
First step would be to locate the fuse, still not sure if it is in the cable or in the flashlight.
I talked to a Marine who has the TH30. He told me many times he has left it on high (1200+lumens) for over 1 hour.
Never burnt out or melted or fizzled,yet.
Really a shock it can take this heat for that long,so many times.Perhaps it is just made well.\
Any here old enough to remember when the Surefire P60 was the OMFG mind blowing light at the time?
I remember this tiny thing owning my multi D cell maglight.
We joked :We have reached the zenith of lighting, in 100 years it will NEVER get any brighter then this.
I showed mine off to everyone and blew minds.
Now lights the same rough size are 2000-3500 !. Just insane
Seems lumens keep going up. Our ability to deal with heat was capped years ago.
lol I remember many many years ago on a site called “CPF” (still around?) When LEDS,the good kind had just come out. Cree I think.
The incan guys would always say how dumb silly LEDS would NEVER ever over power bulbs.
pages and pages about how bulbs would never die out.200+ Lumens out of a LED was just impossible.
Some talky guys would go on for pages about how in 50 years they would never own a LED light.
bet they all do now =P
*Home for a few days,then we head back out.
