Review: Lumintop SD10 1D/3x AA/32650/26650/18650 "Household Searchlight"

Here is a carrier you can use with this light running the 3 AA in parellel rather than series, for longer run time:

Thanks for the review jmpaul320. Its a very interesting little light.

Thanks for the review. How did you make this graph?

interesting! so with 3 eneloop you should get about 6 amp hours +/-

thats about half what a D cell is i believe but still another cool option!

the graph is from another review on CPF - i have no idea how to do such a thing LOL

Depends on the capacity of the D cell. You could use 3 Turnigy 2400mAh AA

Nice Review :slight_smile: any good sources selling this light ?

nice review, nice light, nice camera work….glad you got one.
i really like the size and look of this light, just not the price tag it comes with. still a maybe though, ill see.

I agree. I like everything except the price.

i think we will start seeing these pop up on wall buys and other vendors soon… i would expect to see these drop into the 40$ price range soon

I’ll buy when they go under $25

IMO not likely to happen, unless some magical mega-group buy happens, for that price Id buy 2 or 3 :D!

BTW, Wallbuys has it for 59$, not cheap.

Cheapest Ive found, as I said earlier, has been 47$ ;)!

I bought mine from hkequipement.net on 3 Aug 13.

Start using it from 24 Aug13. Use it every day as night light. Using low mode with a silicon diffuser.

Then two days ago (12 Sep 13), it suddenly refuses to turn on. The power switch still give green light when press on.

Tried with 3 x AAA with adaptor, Li-Ion 32850, D Cell and 1 x AA using AA to D Cell adaptor but the SD10 still won’t turn on.

KD has it for lowest price now - http://kaidomain.com/product/details.S022428

Just wondering if 10 lumens will satisfy the ‘low is not low enough’ crowd, of which I may be a member. :wink:

Not even close, not unless there's a firefly mode below it.

I had a feeling, Mr.“The low mode should be lower.” :wink:

The more I read of this light, the more I want one. Good job, jmPaul.

thanks rusty :slight_smile:

I just got a SD10, the switch makes no click at all, but modes change when switch is pushed. Is it normal for the switch to not click?
