The meter position will be relative, it will effect all the readings by a fixed percentage. It basically becomes part of the calibration.
That said I do not recommend using the meter position as part of the calibration as it is too hard to keep it consistent over the long term.
Adding a little electrical tape to the inside of the 1st bend would be a better way to fine tune the readings since that will not be effected by bumping the sphere.
That was the point I was trying to make earlier. It’s best to put the meter all the way in so that it’s consistent and then find some other way to adjust the output up or down to get the correct Lumen reading straight from the meter.
Also, the vast majority of my lights have a fairly decent fit through the centering ring holes. If I were going to be using those extra small diameter lights to do the calibration, I would probably rig up something simple to prevent that extra light from getting out.
Thats about right… i got 3150 lumen @ turn on… and 3090 lumen… odf30 is a joke… sometimes turbo mode doesnt want to work… lumintop should have use spring tailcap… oh well…
The tail cap lacks springyness. Just pull the tab up a little so the battery gets compressed. Then you should get turbo for about 1m30s or more. I might replace that tab for a regular spring and bypass it.
I got about 3050 lumen at 30s.
I don’t use it because it lacks a mode around 1000 lm and has the weird one click on and press/hold off. Also, I don’t like glued lights.
I can’t seem to find any 26650 boost driver light that meets my needs. I’m just waiting for Lexel to start selling his drivers.
Not that it matters but VoB got his his really quick. Probably paid extra for the shipping. As far as who is delivering them in the states I have no clue. I would think usps will eventually end up delivering them.
They will get here when they get here.
I have been rushing to the mailbox everyday after work, nothing yet. I usually don’t to get excited about new lights but these, I feel like a 10 year old at Christmas.
