I like the beam from a single LED in a reflector. It is targetted, uses less lumens, and even indoors, where most of my use is, I prefer single LED beams.
and yes, outdoors the single LED in a reflector also reaches out farther, than the a triple. The floody optic of the FWAA is very inefficient, it wastes a lot of sidelight lumens. I have to use 600 lumens w the FWAA, to get the same Lux I get with an RRT-01 at 200 lumens.
otoh, the FWAA comes in Titanium, for small money… its a great little bling light
true
I do not want 1000+ lumen, Turbo burn risk, so I use Simple Mode, with a ceiling of 90/150 = 400 lumens on my meter, and a floor of 1/150 = 0.1 lumens.
in Advanced Mode, Turbo cannot be disabled, it is available from Off with 2H, which I consider a pocket burn risk, that requires using the 4 click lockout.
my only need for advanced mode (besides changing floor and ceiling settings), is to access to bicycle flasher for alerting traffic when Im a pedestrian crossing the street (rare)
I dont want any ambient flashing lights, no eCandle, no eLighting…
thanks for sharing your experience
I looked up the length specs
efest purple 650mAh: 49.18mm
vapcel H10 1000mAh: 49.4mm
the max length for a FWAA is 50.5, neither is too long… by specs
So, now that the light is working properly with efest, does the problem come back if you use an H10?
