Hello my friends!
i got a Box today with a new light in it. (thanks to Jona from gearbest!)
since its an early Prototype it has no branding, accessories or a user manual
all of my findings and measures may not apply on the final product!
Specs as far as i can see:
3x XHP70 12V in parallel
4x 18650 in series
SMO reflector
side switch with LED
UI (as far as i found out)
short click to switch on (mode memory)
long click to start in Moon
short click goes Low-Mid-High-Turbo-High-Mid-Low-Mid...
long click to switch off (1-2 sec)
double (from any mode) click activates: TURBO 2
short click then toggles strobe-SOS-Beacon
double click to off
i will try to add more pictures, measurements and more text as soon as possible,
but i need to show the first impressions right now
Day 2
I took some more pictures
do you notice that also head and batterytube (still glued ;)) have a different color?
- another angle
- machining marks ...
- my sample did not get full attention :(
- the knurling is perfect and gives good grip
- the switch is raised a bit to make it easier to find
- the status LED indicates the cell voltage (blue/purple-ish/red)
- dig
- the square cut thread have not been lubed well from factory - i did that to lower the massive amount of force needed to open the tailcap
(seems the Oring is too thick or tailcap to narrow - for my other tests i removed the Oring...)
- well done battery "carrier"
- no sharp edges
- a look down the tube shows the 4S cell configuration
- dav
- the tailcap of my sample was taken from the Manker shelf ;)
when i opened the (non-glued/non-greased) bezel the Oring to the lens broke
- thick lens
- clear, uncoated
- the Oring on the body survived (dry) + regular threads
- the reflector
- no flaws
- they said prototype - so i say thats okay
- the LEDs are not centered good (but well enough) because they do not sit 100% on the spot
No.1
- N0.2
- N0.3 looks good
- soldering on the aluminium MCPCB
- prototype...
my biggest concern: the SMO reflector :(
i see a hole in the spot
- pointing on a dark painted wall in my "homecinema"
Moon
- Low
- Mid
- in the video its more noticeable
OUTDOOR beamshots:
will be added when it does not rain :(
i made a video tring to show how the light works on different voltages ;)
