LED Flashlights – General Info

Does it?

18

5A. My bad. But my point is it produces over 400lm sustained without pwm.

19

It doesn’t matter if it’s 5A or 6A - there’s no regulation on high mode, output falls off the cliff right after startup and it stabilizes on a measly ~450lm. I know it’s small but those are pretty weak numbers.

20

Exactly, 5 or 6A doesn’t make any difference. I don’t know many flashlights, so I thought that sustained 450lm for a light of that size and hi cri was good. Looks like a FET+7135 is less efficient.

21

Stock NW is about 4500K, no high CRI or anything (CRI is pretty low actually).

22

Nope, bone-stock.

Might be the “MH20W” but the ‘W’ isn’t etched anywhere on it. Wonderfully just-warm-of-neutral, guessing 4500K or so.

Got a coupla other MH20s as spares, but don’t recall if they’re NW or CW.

23

Yeh, I learned my lesson. Get something, like it a lot, want spares so you don’t have to be without one… GET spares before they get discontinued.

Kewl, so I guessed right. :laughing:

24

Wanna reinforce the stock? :wink:

My EDC, nice light, neutral tint, plenty of lumens, Anduril, quality battery and USB charging if that matters. :slight_smile:

26

Thanks Blazer, I have an SC31 Pro, great light, but I'm looking for options 4 inches or less.

27

I have a Folomov 18650s and a DQG Tiny 18650 inbound, excited to try them out.

28

Au contraire! My E14III with the 18650 tube is under 4 inches :slight_smile:

Also, my Lumintop HL3A has to be one of the shortest 18650 lights ever made!

29

Yes someone pointed out my error above, I didn't see an 18650 extension tube mentioned when I looked at the light... thanks for the suggestion!

30

Yes I did, and then I posted this:

31

Thanks MascaratumB

32

Ah, I see it now. As for your question, the E14 is about 3.95 inches according to my measurement.

Edit: and now I see that was already answered as well. Jeez, I need a coffee.

33

Not at those prices…

The one I’m using is the first, and that was about 70. The others were when I saw them discounted to 50 or less.

The MH20GT I’ve never ever seen discounted, so I only got 2, both “secondhand” from nice people here.

Funny thing is, I was intending to gift at least one of the regular ’20s, but changed my mind. :laughing:

34

:wink: :beer:

Yeah, quite “not cheap” :stuck_out_tongue: The first one is the cheapest and it is at almost 60! :money_mouth_face:
There are some other options with battery, charger and more stuff, so altough discontinued, they are still around

Although I do recognize how good they can be, they’re larger than what I like for EDC.

I normally like smaller lights, as OP is asking for. Current EDC is the Warrior Mini. Not the smallest , but has what I like in terms of UI.

35

Funny thing is, dimension for dimension, the MH20 is, within a mm or two, the exact same size as the i332, which takes a 16340! Not even an 18350, but actually a 16340.

So a ~4” light with charging, dual-stage switch, hella nice and simple UI, and full 18650, I’ve yet to have any other light dethrone it as my EDC.

36

Thought of another: lumzoo GH10
Amutorch AT40 should be just under at 100mm
Amutorch AX2
