All flat top batteries I’ve used worked fine without an adapter. 40T and P42A, I know you can’t use the Yellow Vapcell because the positive sits below the body of the battery.
Best performers? Are you looking for the longest run times or max output? In a torch like the EC06 able to put out so much light it would be hard to tell the difference between 26k or 28k with just the naked eye. Between the 40T 30T P42A and the Vapcell T42 the difference is so slight that your best bet would be to get the cells you like. I own all these cells and find myself always using the 40T’s. They are less expensive then the vapecells. The reason I chose the P42A’s because they work, so I don’t have to purchase the battery plate from Simon and wait another month or so.
I'm trying to buy a bunch of Vapcell T42's via alibaba. The place I'm dealing with quoted me a great price for qty 20, shipped, but we'll see - deal isn't done yet and wondering if she got the qty confused because it's about 1/2 the price I'd expect, even for wholesale cost.
Wow, yes very unusual to see this (or any light) underrated by more than 10,000 lumens! I suppose it being direct drive makes this possible.
Surprising that Astrolux would underrate the advertised output by that much.
Your measurements combined with the GB price are steering me towards this light over the Acebeam X45 (4*XHP70.2 / 18000lm)
Looking forward to seeing someone else’s measurements to confirm this.
FREEME…you have me a coupon a week or 2 ago and I just ordered now, the link went to Banggood. Thanks. I might buy some 5700k xhp50.2’s & have a go at swapping them with the 6500k factory ones. But Thanks man.
