this is exactly what i needed to know…im also contemplating sp40 for dog walking purposes, esp in the winter when u wanna keep ur hands in ur pocket instead of holding a flashlight. 50 yards is nice, but i do wish it could have a dedicated throw mode to go maybe 100, thats all i need.
can i ask about the run time? like how long do u use it every day and how often do u charge it?
i dont know what you’re talking about…im simply encouraging more members of this community to share their experience with good lights, sharing is caring, and more the merrier!
that looks pretty solid for dog walking id say…i think im gonna cop one
Skilhunt H04 RC Mini 18350 LH351D High CRI 4500K??
It might be pushing the budget…
I got an M150 V2 LH351D High CRI recently. The UI looks the same. Group B is nice. You can enable/disable steps to have between 2 and 7 steps to ramp through.
Tint is around 4500K though. I’m not sure what the H04 RC Mini tint is like.
Not real sure on the run time. My gut says over 12 hours on medium. I use it for perhaps an hour or so a night. Frequently I use it on low but lately I have been using it more on medium. I know I typically go weeks between charging it. However, I usually have a 30Q or even a 3500 mAh battery in it. Haven’t used the built in charging since I got it and just did that to confirm that it works and terminates properly. It does.
Just pulled an old Tenergy 2600 mAh that I put in several days ago. Battery was still at 3.9V and at that age IIRC, its down to about 2000 mAh maybe 2200. So, weeks to perhaps a month in my typical usage. I did just do some projects and my wife used it for an hour or so on High resulting in the last charge only lasting a few days. Hope that helps.
hm…im most likely gonna be using it on high, so if i can get like a week out of it, then im happy, i usually only walk him at night for like 30 mins or so…
Oh, right. Regulation is the other wish-list item, but somehow while working on things I never really notice the dimming until it shuts off or just before then when the battery indicator LED is flashing red. I’m happy that it has low voltage protection.
Sometimes I put it on turbo, stick the magnet to a surface, and forget about it until it shuts off.
