Does the switch stay lit in all cases?
I prefer the battery indication to signal on activation then turn off, for all battery states; signal intermittently (say every 10 seconds) during use only when the battery is below 25; every 5 seconds when the battery is below 20; then not signal during use but step down the output when the battery is below 15% to prolong remaining runtime.
Great price but I still don’t want to risk getting a green NW.
Mine arrived today. So far I’m really liking it. It runs fairly hot in the turbo mode, but not hot enough to be of any concern. I haven’t measured battery life yet on the Efest 900mAh 18350 I’m using, but it does seem to do pretty good. The tint is supposed to be cool white, to my eyes it’s closer to a neutral white
Not having the electronic lockout doesn’t bother me at all since I will not be carrying this in my pocket. Its purpose is a general around the house flashlight. It will get used often
I’ve been using mine for 12 days now and still very pleased with my purchase. Yesterday I received 2 Aspire 1100 mAh 18350’s in the mail. Tested them and they exceed their ratings, 1027 and 1080 mAh on the first discharge cycle. Installed one in the 2C. If I have time tonight I’ll do a rundown test till I get a solid red low battery indicator.
No problem. I’m testing it now. Hopefully, I’ll catch it when the indicator turns solid red.
P.S. There are no 18350 dealers that ship to Greece?
Results: 2C started on turbo. At some point, it stepped down to high. Not sure when it stepped down, but I left it that way. Battery used was a fully charged Aspire 1100 mAh 18350
22 minutes to blinking red
29 minutes to solid red
At that point I shut the 2C off. It’s now recharging via the USB port
Obviously, an 18350 doesn’t come close to a 3400 mAh 18650. For me it’s worth having a shorter version of this light even though the runtime is much less.
I hear you, my friend. I like to charge 18350’s at 500 mAh’s. Looks like I won’t be using the USB port for these cells from now on. Thanks for the info.
