Call it what you will. I’m just saying it appears to be well below the stated 1 lm output.
I agree with you Pete!
On RobertB’s thread of the SP10B I stated the exact same thing, the lowest level is lower than the advertised:
I still like the firefly mode, though 
I would only add another level between ML and Low and quit memory! Personal preferences, of course 
I got the red SP10B couple days ago,and I am very impressed with the quality and power from xpg2 emitter.
Very strange but I measured 600+ lumens on highest level, very similar to my UT01 with 625 lumens but with XP-l inside ???
Even more strange is the fact that with fully charged 14500 it only takes 1.4Amp on turbo pushing that 600 lumens OTF…
Is this flashlight somehow boosting the power even with the lithium ion battery???
My self built flashlight with same emitter like SP10B and with 1.37A driver is only giving like 330 lumens OTF??
I am confused,but very happy with this flashlight
Compared to SP10B, I get about 15% more light output from UT01, using UR14500P cell.
Make sure your UT01 is programmed for the highest possible output in turbo. It is not programmed that way from the factory.
I have a NW UT01, and output is fine, actually I was the one that discovered selectable outputs on each mode
Still doesn’t have the answer for tailcap reading of only 1,4A on SP10B and 600 lumens with xpg2???
UT01 is taking 2.3A with fresh cell
My UT01 is only drawing about 1.4A with fresh cell.
Does the light turn off after 3 minutes? Quoting this from the specs. (Note: Activate high mode from “off”, after working 3 minutes, the light will turn off;)
It does, although it’s closer to 3.5 minutes, I think.
Strangely, the owner’s manual does not mention this feature, or I missed it.
I dont get it. Why would the light shut off? Its pretty natural to want the high mode from ‘off’?
If you double click from OFF to turbo light will turn off after 200 seconds, and if you go to turbo from ON the light will step down after 200 seconds to the mode you was previously. Simple as that…
I like the UI very much, and the only thing I would add is 20 lumen mode after moonlight,because jump from 0,5 lumen to 70 lumen measured on 14500 Sanyo battery is significant…
As NikolaS said, the turbo steps down after more that 3.5 minutes, but the light will still be one, and will probably dim again due to protection.
The light doesn’t turn OFF.
+1 here! That 20 lumen mode in between the others would be great!! :+1:
Mine doesn’t do that.
Hum…strange! Are you using 14500 Li-Ion?
Also, NikolaS and Pete7874, what are your versions of the light? Pete’s is the “new” red one. Mine is the “old” black one. NikolaS, yours is?
Maybe this has some influence, maybe they have changed this in the “new” versions (Black SP10A and Red/Blue SP10B)…
Yes.
Just to clarify, if you engage turbo (High) from OFF, it will turn off after 200 seconds.
But if you engage turbo (High) from ON (eg. moonlight), after 200 seconds it does not step down to moonlight. It steps down to Medium.
Yes exactly :+1:
I am using latest version in red color, received it just week ago…
Anyone measured current at the tail ? On the latest 10B?
Sorry, you are correct Pete! I’ve re-done the test from OFF and it shut down after 3m25secs.
Previously I didn’t notice but I had started from ON so it stepped down to Medium after the same time!
Funny, I had never tested this way… You are correct! And now I agree with agent80 comment: why? :person_facepalming:
It could have stepped down instead of shutting OFF…
EDIT: only now I read carefully NikolaS previous posts, where that was said as well, so ignore my comments… :person_facepalming:
I’m getting 1.4A on a fully charged 14500 cell.
Then the driver is definitely boosting even with lithium 14500 battery.
There is no XPG2 that can deliver 600+ lumens with 1.4 A !!
Did this a couple weeks ago…posted in the mod thread.
Changed the emitter to XP-L2…nothing else. The stock XP-G2 pulls 1.6A at the tail. New setup pulls 2.4A.
