Thats Rics answer to my above quoted question I asked because in the post before that he said "3 Mode—- High 2A ; Mid 0.5A; Lo 0.1A;"
Also, I guess the dark color we see on fancyflashlights is black. If you look at this pic from the first post:
it seems not as dark. Might be wrong tho, so maybe we should wait for Ric to post some pics with both color versions available.
I guess its moddable.. maybe a 3up Nichia board? :D
Also, I would like to know a little bit more about the driver. Is it simple linear/buck regulator or is there a boost circuit included, like with the DQG AA?
I pre-ordered. This is my first time doing this, so hope it works out (for all of us :laughing:! Titanium and NW.
Am I correct that these also ship from China (I’m in the U.S.)? I have several orders from various places that are in-flight, including Fasttech (“in the mail”), so getting impatient with these :(…
Since it’s designed to only run on an 18650 I see no reason why it would have a boost circuit. I’m sure it’s just a simple linear regulator. There is literally no room for boost circuit as the driver would be too thick.
That will probably come down to the particular battery. There is not really standardization for cells. Length can differ from brand to brand or even one mAh to another.
Plus, no one physically has the light in their possession yet so know will really know for sure yet. The risk you take to be a trendsetter.
I think it’s just bad English on their website. It’s trying to say it supports 18650 protected & unprotected cells, however when you buy the light you won’t get a battery with it.
