I keep LEDs, drivers, etc., in those little glassine bags that FT sends. Small card listing what the critter happens to be (eg, “17mm 1.40A 1-mode 4V”, “16mm XP-L 5D”, etc., whatever happens to be useful), and bundle all of the same kind into 1 baggie. Lately, though, I just have the orange FT sticker that’s on it, and have to look up from the packing list what’s a “17069473” or whatever.
Still gotta spread ’em out and look at the bags to find anything, but…
Thanks Pete, from the first page I click the buy now. The second page appears and asks me to select and emitting color. I try to click on any one of the three emitting colors and I get nothing. The shipping destination is preset for United States. No other buttons work on the emitting color page. I’m trying this from my phone perhaps I should try it from my computer this afternoon.
Thanks again.
Hum, can you install the AliExpress App on you cellphone? If so, have a try!
It is a good app, allows you to make payments, choose colours and other available options, and perhaps it works better than the site in some situations!
I use it in a daily basis and so far I hadn’t many issues with it! :+1:
I second this. I’ve only ever used the app for my business, and I have absolutely no complaints. Helps that unlike the Banggood and Gearbest apps, the screen flips on a sideways phone so the keys aren’t microscopical!
I did a quick measurement - got 73.4 kcd. Mine is the 3A tint. I’m guessing people that reported the 80 kcd measurement probably got it on the 1A tint? Using a fully charged Samsung 30Q cell. Clamp meter shows 2.75A at the tail cap.
How?
I only measured 54,5 kcd in a stock XP-L HI V2 1A Convoy C8. The only difference is that mine doesn’t have the AR coated lens.
I needed to add 2 7135s to achieve 73 kcd.
I measured a black with same led and driver:
918 lumens
32500 Cd
You can see a lot of other measurements in my signature in the Big flashlight measurement collection. This one is in line7.
You really made that tail clicky button stand proud!
I tend to shy away from a proud clicky as they can get activated accidentally pretty easily, but I have cut one down to the bare minimums while keeping the button surrounded for a friend that wanted easier glove access.
I shy away from the proud ones because my wife carried a Solarforce light with a proud button that came on in her locker at work when she placed her bag in, found it on and wickedly hot when she took a break. Time and a place for everything, I know….
Of course we know that, but my wife didn’t at the time. I found one of those plastic drill bit cases that screw together that would hold the light, she carried it in her bag in the protective case after that.
Hello. New to this forum. I did some checking but didnt find my answer. Whats the diference between this two leds XML2 and XPL HI ? Which one is better? So i know which c8 to buy.
