REVIEW - Zanflare F1

nice review! thanks for posting!

Thanks for the review
nice light!

(can you fill the (OPTIONAL) Relative Width (): field while placing a pic? say set it at 100, this way the pics fill out the width of a pag and are easier to see)

Toy Box ! = Yeah !!! , this entire room is my toy box .
Images have been down sized , so are pretty much max .

Can visit my web to see the toys I play with old4570

USB power meter is also a variable power supply ! …. ( These are hard to find on Ebay - and I can’t find another At The Moment )

good review. but if you edit the pictures to be same size, they look better.

I bought one :+1:

Thank you for such a great review old4570. :sunglasses:

how to test the lumen?

1050 lumens @2.1A seems impossible, not even a XPL W2 LED without reflector and lens gets that efficiency with 25dCelsius junction temperature

This light is picky… it only takes flat top… I tried lg mj1 unprotected button top and Samsung g 30q button top, and it didn’t work… FYI.

Hm? Not mine. I’ve got a protected panny-B in it, one of the longest 18650s around at just a hair under 70mm, and it fits fine.

Dropped in, the cell’s maybe 2mm below the edge of the battery tube, and the tailcap screws down all the way for a nice snug fit but without binding or “pushing back” in the slightest.

Hmm, if I got a panny-B in this one, I’m just wondering which light I scrounged it from…

People’s are so funny ! http://www.cree.com/led-components/media/documents/ds-XPL.pdf
I do not claim in any shape or form a direct correlation between measurements …
I only offer them as the results I was able to get , with what ever variables are in place … ( and there are many variables )

Hmmm , my Blazar are 69mm long and go in no issue …

I have F1. I saw your question and test it with many kinds of 18650 batteries.some are flat top and some are button top, from 65 mm to 70.3 mm. All works well. I think you should screw down the tail tight.

I too have one and I’ve not had any issues with button cells.

Hello, Nice review!.
I have for some months ago one zanflare F1 (november 2016)

This are my values with a not protected high quality battery, estimated with my Trevi-Box :

Moonlight I think around 0.2 lumens (my box can not meassure less than 1 lumen)
Low 55 lumens
Medium 285 lumens
High 520 lumens
Turbo “flare” 925 lumens

That’s good. I think it’s just my light that only like flat top such as lg flat top yellow, Sony vtc 4, , vtc 5 flat top… I know what I am doing… I have 60 lights. Lol…

When you drop the cell into the tube, does it stick out above the edge, or sink down into it a mm or two?

That’s what Bubba Zanetti said, and look what happened to him

U guys know unprotected button top is longer than unprotected flat top… someone told me I didn’t tighten the tailcap all the way. Lol.

My opinion is the button top didn’t make contact with the head…

I am at work. Tonight I will try with all the different type of battery and report back.

I had a scroll through your website mate good to see you updated since I last visited. I think I need to buy an rc car now look like fun lol. I have been on hobbyking a bit lately but the shipping is stopping me. The aus warehouse has sh*t all stock.

After lubricating the o-rings at the USB port and cycling it a number of times the port cover is now much smoother. It no longer requires gorilla muscles to open up like it did when I first received it.

Much better!

Hehehehe , yep !
Sometimes the stock levels for the Oz warehouse are disappointing …
Try Banggood.com or possibly gearbest for your RC needs …
I have recently started to play with Micro quads like the Eachine EO11 and the JJRC H36 bound to my Turnigy 9XR pro VIA a multi protocol module … https://goo.gl/v37FxQ
These things can be flown inside or outside … ( And for the $$ are just a boat load of fun )
My JJRC H36 set me back $17 AUS … RC is cheaper than smoking these days
