Hi AAA Maniac,
Aswers:
1: yes (I got Efest 10440 V1)
2: I don’t know
3: no
And I found an additional lockout on mine:
FROM OFF: double click - the light flashes once and stays locked out until you
DOUBLE CLICK again - two flashes and the light is operational
The electronic lock system is only in SS and brass edition because they have not the option of lock out “rotate a quarter turn of the head thread”. Have you a Aluminium version with electronic lock out?
hi quetzalcoatl
I´m also not an expert on AAA-flashlights yet, especially with 10440 option (which of course are the only ones, who need ODP). But to name just one, who has this feature, here you go:
Tool VN (lumintop Tool AAA modded by Vinh54 ) with DriverVN2 has integrated voltage protection, as it dimmes the light down, when battery voltage drops to 3,0 V or below…
Not TOTALLY true. My ALUMINUM version and SS version work w/ Efest 10440. Here is the deal,some of the EFEST FT[protruding] do not work,If the wrapping is off or the raised FT is very slightly smaller,it won’t make contact.
I am fortunate that my dealer lives across the street w/ his warehouse 2 miles a away! I brought the light and it did take 4 batteries to find 2 that worked and still are working!
SO FOR THE NORMAL BY MAIL TRANSACTIONS,IT COULD BE HIT OR MISS!
Well, I thought to differ, as I have 2 of the Efest working fine in my now 5 brass K18s (2 more came today, I like them), butt I also received 4 more 10440 Efest flattops and after checking 3 of them, I almost didn’t check the 4th….which didn’t work. I can see no visible difference, butt mine eyes have seen the glory once too often and I don’t have calipers.
Does anyone know where you can 10440 batteries shipped internationally for this torch? The shipping on most sites will cost as much as the light and batteries combined!
All i could find were these and I never trust “fire” batteries.
