I’m new to the high tech flashlight world and after waiting for a month to receive my flashlight I think I ruined it. I was very excited and while charging the 4 new 18650 batteries, I used 8-cr123 batteries. I had read that they were interchangeable, and they might be in certain situations but it didn’t work out so well here. After only a second the LEDs were flickering and I quickly unscrewed the lower section and could smell something wasn’t right. Big buildup for a quick question…. In the event I can’t send it back and have it replaced, what component should I look at trying to replace? Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated

Most likely the driver, I would think. Maybe the LEDs. What kind of light was it?

Hi, my name is Nico and I’m an avid thrower-fan. :wink:
.
.
For me, flashlights are purely a hobby, I realy do not require any flashlight for daily use, in any form but……when I go to the toilet at night I use a flashlight with a firefly mode, when I go and unlock my front door I use my keychain light - although I really don’t need it.
.
.
I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands and it’s always light, even at night.
Still, having throwers with good range makes for a nice playtoy, even in a well lit city.
And then, two or three times every year I meet up with my German buddies in either western or southern Germany for a nice get=toghether (BBQ, Lights, “few” drinks :slight_smile:
And there we do have some fantastic beamshots ranges, strechting over half a mile. 8)
.
.
So, throwers. Here’s my list:
.
.
BTU Shocker - modded by Vinz from Germany - XM L2 dedomed, direct drive - 375Kcd
Thrunite Catapult V2 - modded by Kenjii from Germany - XM L2 dedomed, 5A - 225Kcd
Thrunite TN31 - modded by Kenjii - XP G2 S2 1D and aespheric lens - 650Kcd (no collar, all out of Waviens….otherwise maybe 1Mcd?)
Olight SR91 - Modded by Freak from Germany - XML U2 A 6,5A - 290Kcd (going for XP-L HI)
Maxtoch Sn6X 2X - modded by Kenjii - XP G2 S2 1D 5,8A - 412Kcd Maxtoch M12 - modded by Kenjii - XM L2 dedomed 5A - 240Kcd
Courui D01 - modded by me - pure copper pill, XM L2 dedomed and 5A - 360Kcd - Djozz will be doing further modd
Fenix TK61 - Kenjii modd - XP-L HI V3 - 455Kcd
“Mjölnir” - Vinz frm Germany’creation (Feilong head with aespheric lens, TN31 body) - XM L2 7+A - 506Kcd and HUGHE spot Acebeam L25A - Kenjii modd - XM L2 dedomed 5A - 125Kcd
Uniquefire T-1504 - Djozz modd - XP G2 S2 1A dedomed dd FET direver - 430Kcd
Eagletac S200C2 - Kenjii modd - XP G2 S2 1D @ 4,5A - 130Kcd
Olight M22 - Kenjii modd - XP-L HI V3 - standard driver - 47Kcd
Luckysun D80A - Kenjii modd - XP G2 S2 1D @ direct drive FET driver - 95Kcd
Nitecore TM36Lite - Kenjii modd - XP G2 S2 1D @ 5A - 842Kcd
.
.
OK, coupla flooders as well (nothing stock, of course :slight_smile: :bigsmile:
.
.
Fenix TK31 - MT G2 @ 6+A - 2650ANSI Lumen (tested in lightsphere)
Olight SR51 - Prisma modd - MT G2 direct drive - 3500 ANSI (estimated) and still 79Kcd throw
.
.
And then some smaller lights. Fenix, Skilhunt, Sunwayman, Olight etc…
.
.
Coming up:
Olight M2X UT - dedomed XP G2 S2 1D and as much current as possible (Kenjii). We aim for 400Kcd.
BTU Shocker modd 2: replace leds with XP G2 S2 1D and three LD2 drivers - we aim for 600KCD and still a very big spot
Courui D01: Defenitely XP G2 S2 1D and as much current as we can get to it, maybe bigger reflector, maybe aespheric.
.
.
Whishing and longing for:
A good quality reflector with large diameter, say 12 centimers (that’s 4,72 inch for the anglo-saxens) or more and someone to build me a flashlight around it.
Why you ask?
Wel……just because.
Would be nice to have a reflector thrower putting out waaaay more then 1Mcd. :cowboy_hat_face: :cowboy_hat_face: :cowboy_hat_face:
.
.
So, lots of high drain cells and LD1 & LD2 drivers in use.
.
.
.
Grtz
Nico
