My Keeppower protected cells fit, but they are absolutely bottomed out on the springs where it starts to become tough to tighten the body all of the way.
I might actually use a lanyard for once, as I can easily see this thing slipping out of my hands as the anodizing is rather slippery. Do you think it's HAII? I haven't seen HAIII this shiny before.
I think the UI is horrible, but I'm hoping pyro's driver will install with ease :)
It will be interesting to find out how the recent group buy Panasonic 3400 protected cells will fit, but I didn’t have any of those on hand to try. I think they will work, as they can’t be too much longer than the Trustfires I hope :~ .
I am no expert on ano, but I would have guessed HAII as well. I already installed the lanyard :bigsmile: .
I didn’t hate UI, but it’s surely not great by any stretch. It is relatively simple, so easier to navigate for new users than multi-mode group, user programable lights that have all the bells and whistles. Flashaholics will find it less than satisfying.
I wanted to add that the included lanyard is weaksauce supreme. The part which attaches to the light is the same type found on $1.50 ebay specials. The hole for it is located on the tailcap. I am not about to use the 12lb test-type lanyards on my black beauty.
Also the bubble wrap didn’t have a SINGLE unpopped bubble left! Its basically a plastic bag now.
Yes, it is raised. It is a bit hard to measure without my depth mic, which is in my shop, but with a caliper it is approximately .065”. I can get a precise measurement tomorrow if you would like.
At present I don’t plan to. Physical mods I can handle, as I have the equipment in my shop for that (lathe and small milling machine), but I haven’t gotten into electrical mods and precision soldering .
I would love to up the output slightly, since this seems to be a worthy platform. Maybe I can find someone with electrical skills who wants to play with an M6 :bigsmile: .
Mehhhhhh…. Full cycle to shut the light off is a MAJOR buzz kill for me… I always always always hate it. Dont even touch the costco light because of it.
Why would anybody want to have to click the button 5 times to get to off….Stupid |(
I didn’t want to get too far off topic here, so I started a thread in the OFF Topic Chatter forum titled A Few Machining Projects . https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20491
Are these proper seconds or just counting ‘one, two, three’ in your head?
It seems like 3 full timed seconds would be a long time, but I often read descriptions that say ‘hold for 2 or 3 seconds to turn on/off’ or switch to strobe or something, and in reality it’s more like 800ms or 1 second.
