Tacklife LFL3A $8.99

Mine sometimes starts on medium but I haven’t been able to replicate it consistently.

If you turn it off in medium with the press and hold method and then turn it back on it will be in medium . Usually. Seems to only do it that way the first time though. If you turn it off this way again, it comes back on in high. Quirky.

Right now it’s $11.99 with a 5% off coupon. Still a good buy?

I have so many better thrower options like C8T or FT03 I would not buy another. For gifting or car light, it is ok. I am not a big user of throwers usually. YMMV

Ahhhh you’re right! Mine will consistently start in the mode it was in if I hold the switch down to turn it off with 7 seconds or so. After restarting it in the ‘saved’ mode the light will turn off immediately if I press the switch rather than cycling through the modes.

Both cells rang in at ~5300mAH at 1A in my Opus. Not bad.

Seems pretty heavyweight, not like it’s gonna melt down if left on high unattended.

Slap on some diffusion film, make it a flooder for a good inside-light (prowling around the basement/attic, etc.), and have fun.

The cell itself is worth a few bux, easily, so the cost of the big bruiser of a light itself for the leftover cost is absolutely worth it. Who cares about a wonky UI if it’d be a house light? Just click a few times to get the mode you want.

What he said^. Can’t all be Anduril.

How many lumens (roughly) is the low mode?

if one were to dedome this, which route would you guys take? chemical or heat and lift? I’ll bet the ring effect can be changed by dedome also.

Price: $11.99

Nope, too popular.

I can’t find my meter :person_facepalming: , but has anyone measured cell voltage when the charging light just goes green, and then when it sits a while, ostensibly still charging? Is what was reported the norm, or just a fluke(haha)?

Big honkin’ 26650s only let me fit 2 in my Opus, so can’t even check voltage on a 3rd cell that way (got the cells on refresh mode, so that’s 3 up’n’downs, and it’s still going).

Mine was at 4.0v when the light turned green. When I left it on afterwards it was at 4.21v when it finished charging.

Both times I charged the cell it took 3 additional hours after turning green to reach 4.21.

Yeah, I forgot who reported that before… :laughing:

I unplugged mine shortly after it went green and figured I’d check it, and then… where’s my meter?!? :neutral_face:

I’ll have to wait ’til the other cells finish refreshing. Over 5300 is pretty good. :party:

One thing I do like quite a bit are the green LEDs. They’re that nice emerald green vs the typische yellow-green everyone and his grandmother uses for “green”. I noticed those deep-green LEDs on Novabuses (side-exit door indicator), and really like that shade.

The gas method is easier but you haven’t thought of the smell.

That’s the way I’ve done it :laughing: :person_facepalming:

Awesome, then. Nice way to make sure the cells don’t get overstuffed; just yank the plug when the light first goes green.

MEK or xylene works just as well, and you don’t get the nasty stank that gasoline leaves.

Looks like it dropped to $10.99 now.

So anybody know what emitter is in there?

Appears to be a dome-on XP-L HD to me, tint is in the 5000k-ish range.
