Yet you clearly have a vendetta or axe to grind with neal, But you neglect to do any research on this light specifically as Vinh from skylumen sold the same light with the same UI etc as the only difference from the original batch between Neal’s and Vinh’s was the “Skylumen” engraved on the tail cap.
You can measure parasitic drain with a multimeter if you have one. Use a sensitive current setting and place one probe on the negative end of the battery while it’s in the light with the tail cap removed, the other probe on the exposed metal of the battery tube at the tail.
I hate parasitic drain…it’s completely fine in some lights is very minimal, others it’ll drain cells. I twist tail caps to prevent it, but good advice above. Knowing the drain data helps a lot.
I was planning to see how my Shockly battery drains over time in this light, but BurningPlayd0h is right, I may as well measure it:
My copy of “Neals” LEP thrower measures 73 microamps parasitic drain, my battery will drain in 8 years.
Just a cheapo one from Amazon right now, but it’s seemed to do the job for my very non-critical use case. There must be some options between that and Fluke or other high-end ones but I couldn’t tell you what brands are good choices.
hello,
TrustFire T30R use of LEP light source,issued 460Lumen,has a longest beam range of 1100 meters and LED spectrum similar to the broad spectrum of white light,not only to retain the high collimation characteristics of the
laserm,but also to eliminate the harm of monochrome laser,safe and reliable.
