TrustFire TR-J12 5*CREE XML T6 from DX MF and KD

Judging from ergolites measurements it's 50% brighter than Skyray 818 (818 is the same as 4800 v0 I used to own). 50% doesn't make much difference to the naked eye. I'll stick with my 818 till something 2x brighter comes out (perhaps TR-J12 with stronger driver)

Hmm....not sure where did you get the 818 figure (I'll do a search for ergo's post again later), actually your 818 could be brighter than usual somehow, as you did use Hi-Max cells at 4.19V in which the cells are pretty good in terms of internal resistance/current delivery for direct drive. I have included a long list of lights measurements in the first page of my TR-J12 post, and the SR3800 is 160 while the TR-J12 is 225. The Trustfire TR-3T6 and whichever variant that are 2.1A at the tail are doing about 130.

So 160 vs 225 is 1.4x more, 40%? But yeah I am actually very happy that you do recognise that you need a heck lot more output to make a real visible difference.

Edit : I found ergo's list. His Sky Ray 3T6 is the SR3800, i still remember his posts in CPF. That light does not have 3.0A at the tail, not with such good cells at 4.19V. Not sure what DMM are you using, but if your leads are thin and the DMM's internal resistance is high, it can artificially boost the readings i guess. (high resistance = higher current, lower resistance = lower current....circuitry tries to regulate to stay at the same power)

Hi, i am reading you, tested from trustfire 2400,sanyo 2600, redilast 2600-2900, panasonic 3100, none drew such high current. Man this is a really high current draw you are mentioning!

I got my TR-J12 5 x XM-L a few days ago, it was held up by Australia mail redirection because i moved house over the new year, as we all know now the king Kong's are a no go fitment wise out of the box.

I'm impressed with the build quality of the light it works well and is much brighter to my eyes playing out the back at night in the dark then the TR-3T6.

First impressions is its a nice looking light, looks much better then the TR host,s and its going to be a decent run time torch.

I have not been able to do to much testing except for current draw and a bit of running in the back yard.

All 18650 type batteries

What happens when the batteries are starting to discharge, when the batteries are 3.6-3.7V?

I am curious the current in this stage. Did anybody try this?

pictures of the dropin and inside head? fit perfectly with the jm07 treads?

It's the same braid pitch of JM07 and TR-J12 , but JM07 thread is longer.

You can see JM07's O-ring.

How bright it is on one cell?

Ceiling bounce back lux test: My DRY 5A NW arrived and scored 202lux @ 3,4A tailcap reading(~40w?).

Trustfire TR-J12 scores 298, 50% higher @ 2,2A(~30w)

Trustfire X8 XM-L U2 @ 1,8A(15w) tailcap scores 95lux

The body of my JM07 PRO (gray one) wouldn't work with the TR-J12 . The threads are the same, but the body is annodized and it wouldn't bottom out to complete the negative connection. I was just using the extension to get some single cell testing.

no pictures of the dropin anywere jet?

no one have pictures of the dropin?

The drop-in does not come out. It has great thermal pathway to the body. I left it on high till batts died and the entire torch was hot, from head to tailcap/

I refuse to believe that

im not going to force it.

Flashlightlens now has 60mm size lens for the J12. Actually, the size for the J12 is 59mm.

anybody knows linkdelight?
