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.
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.....
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.
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.
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.
Np :) The wall at this point is very thin, but for me it seems sturdy. Nonetheless it is the weakest point. I don't using my aaa lights with a keychain, so I'm beyond danger... ;)
