Eheh, same reasons I ordered it Using it with a 14500 can be a plus, but 1AA (Ni-MH) will be enough
The quality seems really good! :+1:
Hum, aren’t those a bit harder to find? Never had one of those… And normally I don’t seem them when searching for the 14500! Or maybe I just overlook them
The “funny” thing about this model (i don’t know if it is exactly this light) is that on the Amazon store where I found them, it is mentioned that they can be used with 14500 batteries. Being the Li-Ion the most common, I believe they refer to that type of battery…
I’ll just have to try them when I get them
Thanks for your information about the LiFePO4 14500 :+1:
They are easy enough to find on eBay (at least for me). But, I failed to mention that they don’t hold as much energy, so run-time will suffer, even compared to Alkaline AA. :person_facepalming:
Hum…despite liking the higher outputs, I guess that a longer runtime will may be a more important aspect for my use! Especially because I use these AA lights for longer periods of time, indoor or in places that don’t need to be light-blasted!
So Ni-MH and eventually the Li-Ion will gain some predominance!
Thanks again :+1:
Btw, CRX, that’s a quite nice one!!
I have a SS 3xAAA / 18650 light on the way, and I guess that the clip tip will be a good one to fit that light
I received my flashlights today! I’ve done a small “review”, you can find it here
I can’t give more “numbers” or technical aspects, but here you have a glimpse at a pretty light!
Well, I swapped my Acebeam M10 XP-G3 (6500K) for a much warmer 2700K one and don’t see any tint shifting neither before or after.
I guess Acebeam designed the reflector specifically for this emitter.
That said, TIR are good for EDC (see Olight S series, all equipped with TIR) for close range use.
I received mine 2 days ago.
Ugly beam with the XP-G3, there is a clear tint shift around the hotspot with yellow corona :confounded:
That and the 6000K+ cold white made me swap it for a 4500K 4000K 219C… and here is my new EDC (I have a thing for AA lights those days)
Good to hear XXX man, do you have any pictures or beamshots?
how long did it take for shipping?
I have ordered one from Neal 2 weeks ago, should be on its way now, hopefully it will arrive soon!
