I like the design, but….Have low voltage protection?, the light will be used with IMR for optimal perfomance, and I found some Nitecores without low voltage protection…Can you confirm this feature in this model?
Now you ask, I have been fooled by their marketing language :confounded: , it says “integrated power circuit”, which I interpreted as charging circuit but I guess instead it means nothing at all, it is just language :weary:
I was trying to figure that out myself :laughing: Thought maybe under the switch or something.
Quite a sleek light, I like it, but that clip… and that switch… What’s with the visible star screw right there :person_facepalming:
I guess I would have to mod it
“Theoretical arithmetic”… WTH is that supposed to mean? You take the battery capacity and divide by tail cap amps? Can’t they just do a runtime test? This light has impressive specs in a tiny package, but i hate it when manufacturers put up numbers out of the blue like that. Same thing with the “300h runtime”… you have to read through to understand it is at 1 lumen.
BTW: we need a BLF boost driver to deal with all those 6V and 12V emitters… I’d love to see a XHP50 inside a BLF A6 for $30.
This item has an irresistible size/power ratio in its size classification. Most power for size. For me, that alone is a show starter.
I can always run any light at medium mode for medium heat generation and medium run time. How exciting can that be? I am getting more and more excited about this item, just as I am typing this post.
Per NITECORE Concept 1 1800 Lumen EDC Flashlight lists this at a pre-order price of $64.95 (same as the P30). I don’t have any experience ordering from this site though. They are the authorized US distro. Hope this helps! I am curious about this light as well, hope to see a video review soon.
Rather than doing a 30min test on turbo, they do a longer test on a lower power setting, find how many amps it draws, then by measuring the amps at turbo you can just calculate how long it would last on turbo.
A/B = C/D
It’s not hard, just elementary school math.
It’s theoretical because on those high powers the runtime can vary a lot depending on ambient temperature, airflow, and other stuff that would affect the battery and driver current delivery.
