I’m pretty happy with the light. It is by far the brightest light I have. It get hot very quick but that is understandable with the output. I don’t have any kind of measuring gear but it’s bright. It cuts on and off a lot because I don’t have a spacer to accommodate flat top to button top but that is fixable. I have a 21mm PCB board spacer from convoy on the way that will hopefully work. (If not let me know or if there is a better option)
The light seems well made. Threads are good. Button is pretty beefy. Overall pretty happy.
Don’t keep that for the futur, I search next week a similar copper 3-5 mm for put beetween the two and that was nice.
Happy you like this light.
Nightwatch make generally good job, the big con is they release only cool white LED, after that if cool white only is not a con .
Reason I buy 2 by 2 Nightwatch light, I use it without respect so I keep a back up if the first died.
They have release better host (and I expected worse, finally it’s still very acceptable) but for this price :+1:
The package didn’t include any “O” rings, lanyard, or manual. But there are two “tactical” aluminum rings.
Put in two flat-top 21700 Wurkkos batteries together with a Convoy 21mm spacer on top. And it works OK. The powerful beam is floody.
I wonder what brand of 21700 button top batteries with 40A discharge rate you will get if ordered them together with this flashlight. Not easy to find button top batteries with such high discharge power.
The body can be separated into two shorter tubes. But when putting in only one battery cell, the flashlight doesn’t work. Need to put in two battery cells.
The batteries that are included in the package aren’t actually button tops. They’re flat tops with a small copper (?) Disk soldered on.not sure what type of 21700 they are. they have a dark grey wrap and say “21700hp 3.7v 3000mah 20c”. They came pretty low charge so they’re on the charger now.
i can test the lvp on this light next week with a PS at work.
Yeah I’m going to use a bench top power supply and see how low I can drop the voltage. Hopefully it’s simple and doesn’t damage anything. Also hopefully this picture of the battery uploads right. If not here’s the link
Ho, sorry, I’ve forget it’s you who have say he can try with external power supply.
Normaly no, just open the circuit
Thank’s for sharing
Strange “custom”, If they works
Never see button top solder in this way.
HP remember Nitecore classification cell, same cell with same capacity with various head, HP/HPI ….
Holy crap! Has anyone confirmed this light actually has temperature control?it gets too hot to hold and fast! Love the amount of light but I’m going to need gloves the next time I use it.
@madcrisis, the temperature control does work, but I think I saw one of TacGriz’s post and the temperature at which the flashlight throttles is rather high.
To be honest though, this was not unexpected: you’re consuming about 200W+ on turbo, which mean passive cooling in this form factor is out of the question.
