Any details on the C8+? What the UI is? What the amps are? What features the driver has? The CSLNM1.1 is quite different from the CSLPM1.1, yet the listing has only the spec of 700 lumens/1000 meters spec listed, so which is which? We know one of those LED's has better throw, less lumens so the #'s can't be the same.
I was stupid and bought one of the ones in the Other Flashlight category last night because I missed out this time. Who knows what the difference between the one in there and the C8+ section item is…
Ahh, ok. So that means 2.8 amps. 139 kcd is 745 meters - not close to 1000 meters spec'd. Ouch on the UI! Agree :(
Something is quite wrong there... You are only gonna get so much out of the LED with 2.8 amps. For me that leaves only one option - driver replacement. Was wondering about that alum MCPCB option. Maybe the ones with copper MCPCB have higher powered drivers? I wouldn't risk 4-5 amps on an alum MCPCB, unless it's DTP.
1000 meters is 250 kcd. Dunno, may be do-able with 5 amps W1? Probably...
Funny, not sure you were around in the HD2010 and C8 days, maybe 2012-2013 or so. But the HD2010 was known for it's direct FET driver - a rarity to get high amps out of a stock light at the time. They used the same driver in other lights like C8's, UltraFires, and other brandless lights. The amps were only limited by the springs, LED wires, and battery resistance. So one day I used a hot cell in a C8 with that driver, but of course the LED was on a cheap alum MCPCB, and the LED de-soldered itself while running the flashlight! Thos cheap alum MCPCB's are a heat trap for sure!
Will have to disassemble the other one and get a 5A convoy driver… I think I have a 20mm WF1 on copper MCPCB around somewhere. So realistically I’m just buying a host, blah.
All depends on the quality of the alum MCPCB. Charging $4 for a copper one is a bit high but I'd rather pay it then take chances with a pricey Good LED on a unknown aluminum one.
wut? I thought official limit is 4.5-5 amps, but to push it, up to 6 amps is being used. Instant blue? You mean if it's on a poor alum MCPCB?
what about this:
Now torture test. Torture for this emitter will be any cell in Samsung 30Q rang or better if used in FET DD setup which of course will pull a lot of current. So in mine test emitter survived over 7A of current draw for more than 3 minutes(for couple of times). After cool-down it did not loose initial properties(performance remained the same) which implies that emitter is very robust. This were mine results. I also found that mine test subject had best performance at around 5.8-6A (1200FC)
What driver did you recommend they use? If sticking with 8x7135 at least offer it with the 12 group 55 mode driver from the xpl c8. The 4 mode 5a driver from the sst40 convoys would be sweet
Is the current driver the one where its lo-mid-hi and it blinks on low after 3 seconds?
How many amps is the current w2 model getting?
today (March 13 2020) Olight has another sale and offers
the LIMITEDOD GREENM2R PRO and the sale starts 00:01!!
better stay awake – i am sure those are sold out fast…
unfortunately my regular discount codes do not work while a flash sale is active,
but you can use my links below anyway to “send” me your traffic at no costs!
that way i will get better discounts for you in the futrure ;)
Hi ” M4D M4X “.
I have used your codes to buy a HAIKELITE MT09R on 3 separate occasions with no luck. 2 times it was out of stock, and the last time it was in stock when I ordered it, it was shipped and was confiscated by customs and now Banggood says it is out of stock again. I requested a refund for the 3rd time. Are they not wanting to sell this one with your discount ?
I previously purchased 3 flashlights with your discounts with no problems.
