Ended

About 400pcs sold for the past 2 months, thank God, I have yet to heard any serious injury or complaint so far. I recalled that one or two member did express their concerns when tailcap felt hot (40°C+ range) during usage.

3xAAA adaptors are much bigger than 18650. In lights that can use 3xAAA either the 18650 rattles around inside or a plastic sleeve adaptor is used around the 18650. So unless a device is designed with 3xAAA in mind, it will not fit in place of an 18650

Lured away? Cohorts? Ha, that’s laughable.

You should go to DSBAR’s thread where we are discussing his problem in more detail.

Ps, I’m pretty good at juggling conversations. I usually have 30 or so going at any one time.

In your situation, have you considered running it without a battery? I think you would need a 90° micro USB cable. Even then it may not sit flat. If hung from the handle, any usb cord would work.

Running it direct from USB with no battery limits the max output, but should be more than bright enough for a “night light”. There is no excess heat and no battery to cause a problem. Plus it will run forever.

If I’m still interested in the lantern should I wait for you to PM me a code or should I buy from the flash sale while there is still stock left?

If they made the base out of aluminum it should fix the overheating issue, maybe add a few mild fins to the base as well. Although this would increase the cost.

Freeme,

Any updates on this deal?

I have this lamp too ist bigger for sleeproom

Woah! So it’s a whole new model similar to the T1, but bigger that has RGB leds, a clock and speakers in it? Neat. :smiley:

yes i like it you can set the color you wish on hold (+–16 € on ebay)

It doesn’t look like it is battery powered? Only AC powered?

Integrated 3600ma battery and usb charging

Very interesting, I have liked the few utorch’s I have seen.

Any reviews?

Any good codes?

This one’s output seems much lower. There’s also a lot less of any one color leds.

Oh, it’s way bigger as well. So that helps reduce heat.

and I thought it was determined that the T1 didnt have heat issues unless using a defective battery …. did I miss something?

Yes, even a ‘bad’ cell (high IR, etc.) will heat up substantially even when charged.

It doesn’t have heating problems.

That’s pretty much the case it seems. It can heat a battery to around 50°C to 55°C. Most cells have an operating range of up to 60°C or 70°C depending on the cell.

I worded that badly.

It is still safe and does not appear to go over the limits of any of the components.

It does get unnecessarily hot due to a bad heat path though. I should of asked if this lantern has a better heat path.

Look what I did… TCLO!

After another fishing trip last night where my T1 was half dead before even arriving at the secrete fishing spot cause it got turned on high in my bag I was determined to get TCLO working without use of a paper disk and I accomplished it with ~8” of Teflon pipe tape!
