Ended

Yes that might be the case IF the newest versions of this light have some super incredibly nano lumen micro moon mode..So dim it can't be seen with the naked eye . :P

no... its busted. it flashes a tiny WW pulse very dimly when you put the battery out a battery in. I was hoping to reset it . i think it's trying to start in the temperature adjusting mode but something is wrong ..Like I said It worked normal for about 2 minutes when I first got it and then just stopped going into anything except mode 1.

I also tried three different batteries so that's not it either . I just got hosed .

Does anyone elses light do a quick dim flash when they install a battery ?

Dang Boaz…. that’s a bummer. No problem with my first one. Still waiting on 2 more sched to arrive tomm. Hoping there are no problems with them.

Out of the two I have, one tailcap runs around 47 degrees C, and the other runs in the mid 20’s after about 20 minutes. Both running on Panasonic NCR18650GA’s. The tail springs on both are in perfect condition. I cleaned both the positive and the negative springs with 90% isopropanol alcohol. Still, the one runs hot.

Sounds like the WW “circuit” is busted somehow. Ie, it doesn’t “turn off” from the top button, but goes into WW mode, but with nothing coming out, it’s “off”.

Absolutely get a replacement, but unless you have to send it back, you can later take it apart and see if there’s a loose wire, etc., connecting the WW LEDs.

I had mine crap out on me. It was working perfectly for about a week and then halfway through it’s first camping trip decided to no longer turn on - powered from either USB or battery. Bummer because it’s a neat little light.

This is a bummer. I wonder if it’s built to a lower standard to keep costs down.

So far it seems like they’ve sold a ton of these, but we’ve only had a few reports of failures.

Of course it is. I noticed this right away. It certainly feels a bit cheap, but at this price point and with the tint control, I’m not going to complain much.

Interested

Got my T1 today, this is a nice compact piece of light, no problems so far :+1:

The T1 in it´s natural environment :slight_smile:

I just wonder if there is a possibility for a lockout without remove the battery :frowning:

Always transport in cardboard box?
Maybe a plastic lid can fit over the top button?
Maybe a piece of tape over top button?
Put a plastic disc between battery and spring?

If these come back in stock, I’d be interested in an updated code Freeme.

Yes, Thank you

Now I realize why it comes in a plastic inlay inside additionally to the carton box
Piece of Tape doesn´t work, maybe I´ll find a plastic suitable lid…

Maybe it´s the best not to think too much about and remove the battery instead :slight_smile:

I think a piece of plastic that fits over the battery end would work well. You can store the small disc next to the battery so it doesn’t get lost.

My 2600 batteries tested ABOVE specifications at 2706 and 2748 ending @ 3.21v.

Got my two Z1 today, so just two weeks to europe :+1:
Handling is better than i thought :wink:

Has anybody measured the parasitic drain in standby mode?

0.17 mA. :+1:

Thanks. It’s not too bad but could be better still.

So a fully charged 3500mAh cell would be drained after 85 days?

More like 858 days.

Btw, mine has been running non stop on the lowest warm white mode for 3 weeks straight. I haven’t spoiled myself by measuring the current draw beforehand.

edit: red low battery indicator and the light started flashing just now after 3 weeks.
