There is an internal thermal sensor that will step down the light if it reaches 65 Celsius , or 146 Fahrenheit internally. The light does get pretty hot to the touch before it steps down , but then again many do now days.
Thanks for the answer!
Yes, the manufacturer mentions thermoregulation and this should go to mid mod if i understand correctly.
You tried to turn on the maximum mode on a cold flashlight with a slightly or half discharged battery?
Maybe is it possible that a smooth decrease in brightness was due to thermal control? But i dont think so.
Actually i like the UI and brightness modes, this is optimal for the thrower.
Understandable.
Because of my carelessness, i did not understand this picture correctly :person_facepalming:
I thought it indicated work on the high mode. Now I noticed this is the med mode 1000lm.
Then everything seems correct. The flashlight has a stable brightness on med and direct drive (i hope i call it correct?) on high.
I have noticed some of the different lights have different logos with Maxtoch.
I think the Flashlight gods may have heard you were trying to find one of those SN6X-2X and sent one your way since they are very hard to find now days.
I sent a e-mail to Maxtoch and asked if they could provide their process for de-domeing the SST-40. Unlikely they will provide that info but its worth asking. I’ve tried different fuels with little success and I have access to some chemicals from my employer. I may try some MEK or MPK later this week or this weekend. Not sure but I would like to figure out the best way to de-dome this LED.
Toluene works best in my experience.
Hot Toluene though…
Do this in a sealed container or you’ll need a gallon to dedome 1 LED…
Anything alive will prefer you use a sealed container too.
I forget if i shaved it first… I think i did.
I dedomed 2 SST-40’s and one died because apparently the chip wasn’t properly soldered to the substrate, so it hung on there by its bond wires, and then those broke too…
But even after hours in hot Toluene there were still some tiny flakes of silicone on the dome…
I had to order it in Germany…
But please watch out with that stuff.
It’s really bad for your health.
Penetrates skin, and also dissolves protective gloves…
From what i’ve heard from USA members, it’s not that hard to come by in the USA, and not really expensive either.
Hello. Thinking about buying this flashlight. Please tell me, what is the color temperature of its light? If I missed information somewhere, please forgive me.
