Hi all, I’ve not been keeping a pulse on new lights recently.
Can anyone reccomend a light with following attributes:
3x or 4x 18650
Neutral LEDs, 4000 to 4500k preferred.
In light USB charging
Decent thermal management- I use the light in a warm environment (25-30C). I don’t mind the light getting hot, it must ramp down to protect itself though.
If nothing exists stock, I’m happy to mod something, prefer pre-soldered LED MPCBs to reflowing multi-LED boards.
I got a couple, and would’ve recommended it, but it’s a bit on the cooler side and throwier like the Sofirn Q8, not warmer and floodier like the BLF Q8.
Nice build quality, with lobotomised Narsim-like UI. Has only the main features like ramping, press’n’hold for moonlight, 2click for turbo. Also a “breathing” sideswitch if you want it (I don’t), and soft lockout.
Think it also has stepped-mode, but I left it ramping/stepless.
Thanks for the info, i’ll just stick with my SP36 then.
Just swapped the mcpcb from my SP36 tonight for the LH351D, man what a difference, i like it way better now
Yokiamy, what did Barry charge for the the LH351D mcpcb? I have a couple of the original SP36 that I need to swap out.
I have bought misc Sofirn accessories direct from their Aliex store before, does this need to come from Barry?
Definitely recommend the SP36 form factor, three 18650 barrel size with congruent head diameter, easy grip and pocket with long run time. I picked up one of the Sofirn holsters for around $5 so I can just toss it in a glove box etc and not worry, also very comfortable pouch carry for long evening walks when my headlamp is primary.
Only real down side is the glue, but if you get the LH351D version probably will never be an issue.
