EOSLAMP SP11 AAA XPE R3 $19.90 with own optional output! for $0.99 extra

I'm not sure but I guess the light is slightly lighter than the Ti and it can tail stand.

@revolver The mechanism is similar to the Thrunite Ti, but there is more interspace between the modes. Like hikeelite told there is one drawback: if you tighten the head to turn the light off the AAA is wobbling.

You tighten the head all the way and it's off, then it's no wobble. actually this feature is quite good, it somehow prevents the head to fall. You unscrew the head just a bit and you have High, unscrew it just a bit more and you have Low, then you have to fully tighten it back so it's safely turned off.

I checked it twice. If you tighten the head all the way the off mode doesn't work if you using 10440s. But it works fine with Alkalines...

Tighten off is one of the features I like about this. I don't like the idea of carrying around a light in my pocket with the head loose.

I have not tried with 10440 cells, only with alkaline batteries. Since the light is not advertised as working with 10440, I wonder if it's OK to use them.

How many hours have you run the SP11 on 10440s?

at a stretch or all in all ? I'm using it with 10440s about two weeks now. I guess about 1 hours in total !? Didn't stopped the time.

Like Hikelite said it works fine. I was wrong. You won't loose the head, if you are not use 10440s.

All in all. Thanks.

I really wonder why the light doesn't go off when fully tighten on 10440s, like on alkalines. Maybe it's a way of annoying the user not to use them, a warning that they should not be used? I'm wondering all these because the light seems to have been built with some thought, I mean the full tightening for off is really nice to keep the head away from any possible issues.

I agree. Maybe i'm not able to get it off with 10440s ;) I tried it several times. It won't work.

Just this minute I checked it with four different 10440s - same result. The light only turn off with Alkalines, L92 or Eneloops.

Good to know. I'm planning on using eneloops anyway, just thought 10440's was a bonus feature. If I need more than a hundred lumens, I do have other flashlights, afterall..... Laughing

I'll keep going with using 10440s. Its not so bad if i can't tighten it off this way. I will report if the light is broken

Thanks for the answers everyone!

If you leave it untwisted for off so that the first mode that comes on is low is the head too loose to hang out in a pocket without falling off? And I should probably wait a few days to order right, what with CNY and all.

IOS home page pretty much says they won't be shipping until after 1/31, but you can place the order anytime.

Damn, like it a lot, but already ordered Lumintop :~ Reminds me Nitecore D11 :P but in AAA size :) Beamshots/comparison?

PS: the only thing I don't like much: not MED - HI order :| 20 - 100 lm would be super.

The UI is exactly the same as in DQG I.

The reason, why it doesn't turn off on li-ion is probably higher voltage. The switching off mechanism is based on electronic circuit, not typical, mechanical brake of the current path. I wonder, what is parasitic drain when off. Because with this method of switching off, there must be some.

the worm is a serious torch with serious built quality. not much you can do with it. Med, High. that's it. no playing around.

with iTP A3 and Tank E09 you get 6 modes (3 modes with Eneloop, 3 modes with 10440) and can buy protected liion's and unprotected liion's.

brightness is exciting. 7hrs runtimes arent.

please dont be mad with me amigo if you find the worm beautiful but boring. it's not a laetitia casta. :bigsmile:

Haha :bigsmile: I don't say that I don't like Lumintop :P Quite the contrary. But right now I don't need more AAA lights, thats why :~

Anyway, will include this one in my "wish list" :bigsmile: Any review, runtimes out there?

PS: coolperl, thanks for the info and your thoughts about "switch". Parasitic drain was the only thing that pulled me off on buying Nitecore :|

anyone with additional photos of the hole?

looks like a biggish hole with thin wall thickness.

i guess you guys dont care. me either.

just wanted to point out that this would have been a turn off (deal-breaker) if i had this torch on my candidates list when there was still enough pocket money to spend on keychain torches. at that time i decided for the Klarus MIX6 from DD. with KREISHILL coupon codes.

nice torch you have, thanks!!

HD photos .. i love that :beer:
