[M4D deal] Nightwatch NI40 with Luminus SBT90 Gen2 interest list OPEN

Sorry. Want a forward CLICKY.

Listing says: Swtich: 20mm,10A reverse switch

typos and all...

Ohhh - fwd switch.

10A switch with a 20A LED. Something isn’t right here. Maybe they used a different switch for this one.

The little Onten 1288 switch is rated at 1A (30V) and is used in flashlights up to 15A sometimes. Specs are not as simple as they sound.

So what should I buy for this host ?

I use these KAN-9 10amp FWD click switches 20-30amps with 18awg bypass…no problem…

Would have been cool if they gave us option to choose forward clicky. Would be cool if it was a standard thing to offer both from all companies.

Hi Martin. Reports are starting to come in saying that the memory is intermittent. Also mode switching, as well as the button feel/press. Can you check with Neal on that.
That is a huge factor on whether I would want the light, because I would like the light to start out in turbo.

According to some feedback on TLF the positive terminal of unprotected 21700 batteries like Samsung 40T will be crushed. :-(

dissapointing to hear since thats a standard very good quality highdrain battery to use in many lights :person_facepalming:

I would have like to order it but a few things need to be fixed before I consider it. Sorry Martin, I put down my email for the GB, but not this time.

I hope my sample arrives soon to check those points

Does that include the Shockli 5500 battery that was marketed along with the light? Hope not… I bought two of those batteries and 2 lights…

Nope. Thats a 26650 so it’s fine.

Was there any supposed advantage had issues not been found, with using 21700s instead of 26650s for this light?

Nagonka from TLF forum got 4950 lumens at turn on with a 40T compared to only 3750 from the shockli 5500.

WHAT D: What’s up with that…… I wasn’t aware of such poor performance of the Shockli… is there another fitting 26650 that puts out comparable output for the claimed 5k lumens?

Now I may have to refund these two batteries… potential headache lol. Only had to return one mail item in my life. Well actually a need for more but I couldn’t bring myself to jump through all the hoops so Ive kept many unsatisfactory online purchases unfortunately.

I wish I could read German.

The shockli (PLB 55A) is the best high capacity cell you can find but at high currents it’s no match for the 40T.

So in other words, this response was misinformed? Since it can’t do 4K+ at all, not to mention very well or efficiently on turbo….

Hi BLF. I was long time lurker.My name is Baron.

This is a 26650 light. That is why 21700 battery gets damaged and so can springs. My friend has FT03. He got same results with that light when using 21700.

You will sacrifice run time, but I believe the best 26650 if you want max output will be the Golisi 26650 4300 35Amp Or the Aspire 26650 4300mAh[rated 30Amp by “Mooch”].

Cheers
