Did you ever find out where the protected battery is set to? Iād be careful with a high drain battery maybe? But glad to know a flattop fits as Iāll most likely toss an MJ1 in mine and toss the Wuben battery in the fridge for another light, another day.
I couldn't resist that $12 deal as I really like the C3 (I did some testing on a previous purchase but gave that unit away).
I measured 4.4A on a 25R, ~1600 lumens plus a proving ground comparison showed me it's between 1500-2000 lumens. The output is consistent on the two units I have/had. As for the overcharging, the indicator light turns green at 4V and I may just have to charge any batteries for it with a separate charger when I can't keep an eye on it.
Out doors the light is very bright and seems to throw further than it should with its wide beam.
Indoors i notice my led is off center. The oddest pattern iāve seen out of a light so far.
From the outside theres a yellow circle followed by a white square and inside off center of that is the round hotspot.
Iāll probably see what some D-C fix does to it
Muto and Zappaman - Thanks! Snagged 4 so we shall see. The crappy C8 clones that my kids have abused for years need to be replaced.
Hopefully these fit the bill.
:+1: *got home from TG this evening and just double checked and the battery in my S11c is indeed the better 3000mAh Sofirn. So I am sure it came with that battery (which is a great fit for this light)!
I echo semtex41's thanks. I first saw the S11 on Sofirn's website and could only order the XP-L version. Little did I know it was on Amazon. I ordered 2 for the kids as well! Made my Black Friday more interesting :)
Glad some people got hold of some of these S11c lights this week. For the extra few bucks you are getting a decent 18650, USB C cord, and lanyard in a nicely made light WITH a magnetic tail also- FROM Amazon! -not bad at all guys and gals
I WISH Sofirn would put the better emitter into the S11b (with itās ramping mode). Iād love a nicer 5k(ish) tint in a little ramping light like this. But the 6.5k XP-L is pretty blue (in the current S11b) and itās not a light Iād use in a heavy rain storm (or much outdoors) and reallyā¦ the S11cās current IU and super emitter really is perfect for my bedside (and any indoor) use. Barry at Sofirn made a good call there, and Iāll buy a few more when they come back into stock (at Sofirn).
16-pack of Eneloop batteries for $43.99 (20% off of $54.99)
Eneloop deals in Canada have been few and far between of late, so hop to it if you need to restock!
Had to list that deal didnāt you!
Killer light with battery and strong magnet. Great regulation as well.
Made me buy my third of these.
Put a Luxeon V2 3000k in one and it is bliss.
Next one will get a 4000K
The page said Iāll get another $.98 back in Amazon rewards for using the card so that helps on some of the sales tax anyway.
Thanks for the heads Up!!
