I like the design. I would like to buy it, but I will not do it because it looks too much like Olight. They can not come up with something new just copy other brand? And xhp35 with 14500…
I don’t really understand the emitter options. I got the impression that the main led is an XHP35 HI cool white while the side leds are nw Nichia, but then there’s both an XHP35 HI and Nichia options on banggood. So which is it and what are the emitter specs?
So, Banggood appears to have mistakenly indicated XHP35 instead of XPL HD. But did they post incorrect photo images as well because their photo appears to show XPL Hi emitter.
specs seem a bit confusing, raises more questions and need clarification:
“XHP35-Hi” listed in BG
=> Ok… you mentioned BG got it wrong, so the correct option is XPL-HD)
(BG has more inaccuracies, the runtime table lists the flashlight was tested using a 750mAh 16340 battery” => so now it uses 16340??
“Utilizes XPL HD + 4 Nichia 219c with a lifespan up to 50,000 hours”
=> does that mean 4pcs Nichia 219C LEDs? or is “4” just a typo or something?
“Built-in 3.7V/750mAh 14500 Li-ion battery with anti-reverse, overcharge and over discharge protection”
=> maybe this means a 14500 battery is included? because “built-in battery” would sound like non-user-replaceable (then AA wouldn’t be a battery option).
Nice looking flashlight, but would like to know how the main light (XPL-HD) and the side light (Nichia 219C) works
It can be designed a few different ways. One way is it detects if the voltage is about 2.3v or higher. If so, it will charge to 4.2 with a lithium charge curve (CC/CV).
If below 2.3, it charges with a NiMh charge curve to 1.5v.
The other option is that it does not charge at all if the voltage is below 2.3v (roughly). This would prevent accidentally charging a AA alkaline battery.
Or perhaps we have to use our own judgment to not use the usb charging when there is a AA battery inside.
Another situation is that it may not even work with AA. It might be 14500 only.
Not sure about this one. 500 lumens is ok for EDC but the XP-L HD is capable of so much more. Wish it were in the 800-1000 lumen area. Not much on the built in battery. I have so many, I would like to be able to change them out. Think it would be great for a gift. Looks cool though.
