Cree XP-E, High 120 lm, Low 20 Lm (likely configuration)
Works with AAA carbon/alkaline(1.5V) or Ni-MH(1.2V). Doubt with 10040 (3.6V) both electrical and physical
Most compact but smooth and manageble hi/low twist actions, good knurling, tail stand OK, clear glass lens
Low production costs is prime, service life might be short
Real solid titanium (Olight’s remark about its S10 titanium ver in the official website worth a look)
more resistant to harsh chemical and physical environment (known to survive in sea water)
Can buy 2 nos. all aluminum Thrunite T1 instead (brass pill with best twisty mechanism)
Weight empty is 11.4g and typical carrying weight with carbon 18.7g / akaline 22.8g / Ni-MH 23.0g
NightCrawl can you contact the manufacturer and confirm voltage. Kaidomain states max 2.7v, manafont AAA battery, DX 1.2 to 1.5v and ultrafire shop UltraFire 10440,AAA size x 1
I doubt it is Ti. None of the pics have the look of Ti but rather of aluminum to my eye. Also, there are lots of small AAA lights out there, what’s special about this? I’m assuming it isn’t real titanium.
Or alkalines. Higher draw (>>1A) from a AAA kills them dead in a few min. I would like to know if anyone finds 10440’s to fit in these though (or if 10440’s work at all). Seems like the blue trustfires or whatever don’t.
My reported 415mA still falls comfortably in the measuring range of my analog multimeter but near the highest 500mA limit. I am lucky to have this Medium value measured or otherwise would damage the meter. While I could recall a BLF member shared a High 500mA for a Klarus NT20 among others with his new DMM, Kreisler’s doubt might reflects a depleted Ni-MH AAA (less than USD 40cents) adopted by me. Although an affordable DMM with 20A DC is common nowadays, I want one could measure up to 50A for 3 or 4x18650 scenario and, imagine it is technically feasible, clamp type for a direct trouble free measurement. I need so time to check it out. I spot small affordable clamp type DDMs but not even up to 250mA max.
Fatlokwok, you never said where you got yours from. This light still interests me if only for it’s diminutive size but especially if it’s really titanium.
