I dont know how to do that. Lol… but anyway… i am not here try to complain or cry… i love this light. It cost $31.79 and received in 15 days… ( fast )… i used to have an olight m1x striker xml led cost $60. This zanflare f1 is great deal… latest led. True moon light. I can navagiate around the surounding in low mode… i also like how the tailswitch operate… while the light is on, half press the tailswitch will temporary turn the light off.
Conclusion. I love this light for what it is. Great price. Xpl v6. Great construction. I will buy zanflare light again.
I just dont understand why my light doesnt like unprotected button top or solder blop. Thats all.
One needs to isolate the issue !
Is it the driver side , or the clicky side that is the root cause ….
If you have some electrical wire , one merely runs it from the back of the battery to the bare aluminium at the tail cap end , all you are doing is completing the circuit … ( Much like the clicky switch does )
If the light turn on when completing the circuit , the problem is not the battery …
To find solutions to problems , one first needs to know what the problem is !
( Because I am using a flat top battery in mine )
If we eliminate the battery or the front of the flashlight , then that points to something entirely different .
And after (?) is it almost 10 years now , one of the major reasons for issue for most people is the tailcap / clicky / assembly . ( And often the fix is as simple as tightening the retaining ring ) .
Ok , 16340 …
I charged up some 16340 , these are really old unprotected 16340 , but always performed well .
They came of the charger at some 4.09 volts …
Low / med / high output was a match for the 18650 …
What surprised me was the output on Turbo , 1300+ Lumens which ran for all of about 5 seconds before the thermal protection kicked in …
I get the feeling that perhaps this light might be meant for the 3v rechargeable 16340 … ( 3.6v ’ish fully charged ) ??
Because Turbo on the 4.2v Fully charged 16340 ( well , 4.09v ) really pumped …
There does not seem to be any advantage using 16340 ( 3.7 nominal ) for output in the other modes .
And 5 seconds of Turbo is ( ? ) …
I dont have any Primary CR123 that are new … I have some old ones in my Surefire …
Yep , pretty much spent after all these years … ( Just tested )
Might have to order a 17650 for the 6P surefire …
Sorry about that guys , all my Primaries are like seriously old and I should probably toss them … ( Confirmed )
