Not even thinking about it !

It did the same with my shockli .

Guilty as charged . I have more than 20 lights unlocked and ready at home .

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.

Yep, whenever I get a new e-switch light I’ll sort of take it on a “test run” and check the battery after a day or two while not using it.

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.

So something is different with the copy of the OP

My flashlight craziness is too recent for me to be equiped, but i’m starting to feel an itch .

Agreed, it was used maybe a week ago and it was still at 69% . It’s like a very rapid drain .

Regardless of owning flashlights, they’re genuinely a great tool to have around the house!

My brother was my goto for electric stuff, so it kept me lazy in that subject . What multimeter do you have ?

Well I’m happy to see that your objectivity isn’t clouded by your emotions.
History repeats itself: Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam,

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.

I have one and have no issues but I loosen the tail.

I bought two of the new Lumintop LEPs from Neal and they’re outstanding

Please note that my advice is only related to Neil’s unbranded LEP . It is in no way a jugment on other offerings .

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.
