better do a throughout check on your King from light mall, coz I got one with 1 of the 3 Led not working. Had to pry out the driver board, remove the reflector and test the led with direct drive. I have changed a spare 16mm XML in since, and that company as for proof. But I forgot to take pics before I did the repair. Now its my words against theirs and I dun think I will get anything out of this episode.
Ps. Sorry about the missing pics in my reviews. My photo host upgraded to new version and the old links don't work for some reason. Please be patient. I'm working on it..
Hi _the_, could you do this test if you have time and want to?
Because visually I don't note difference when using with ONE battery than with four, so I think it would be interesting to know if with lower voltage it stills with same output.
These are flat tops. You need Orbtronic or AW button tops. The best for the King…… Of any light…. I have seen a lot of batteries come and go, damaged, burnt, self destruct, but the Orbtronics keep on ticking and after 10 charges get stronger !
II would recommend flat top AW’s. With any light that requires direct PCB to battery contact, button tops will damage the surface unlike a spring. You can use button top spacers. AW’s are widely known for there 1600mah red label
cells they made a few years ago, discharge 9-10amps. Oh, and Black Label 32650’s and 26500 as well…
