NEW TrustFire TR-DF003 2x26650 3xCREE XM-L Diving Light

I total : 2A
(Bottom of the lamp)

Yes good !

And remember, if nowell used 26650s, then the voltage drop is lower than 18650s, so that 2A really translates to 2.3-2.4A if we were to use 18650s? That’s pretty ok, same as the first gen SR3800 etc.

Seems strange to me.
Ive seen single t6 flashlight driven 2.8a on 2*18650.
So 2a total for 3 leds, is low, no?

Nowell, can you show us some beamshots;)? Thanks

Got an anwer from ShenZhen E-Young Technology Co.,ltd (powewholsale)

1 set shipped by hkpost would be. USD97.87

probably the cheapest by now?

When you measure 2A @ tailcap while battery are about 3.8V per cell.

2 A x (3.8V + 3.8V = 7.6V) = 15.2W

Driver efficiency?
Remember that This bezel is deep?

1500± OTF :wink:

I can get it on e-bay to Australia for $83 dollars. Light only, which I don’t mind.

Light only, for that price - i think is too much. For 15$ more you get extra orings batteries and charger

Pok, shouldnt that be about 30w for 3*t6?

That’s why i always say, just get a light meter and be done with it.

Welcome to the monkey house, nowell!

further…

15.2W x .85 = 12.16W (passing through the driver assuming its 80% efficient)
12.16W / 3xml = 4.05W/xml

4.05W / 3.4Vf = 1.19A per emitter

1.19A ~ 460 lumens from each xml “(from this thread here)”:Results: Testing XM-L, MC-E, SST-50, and XP-G emitters **Updated**

460L x 3 = 1380 bulb lumens

Factor in reflective losses + refractive losses + bezel obstruction I would expect output to be around 1000 Lumens OTF. Possibly less OTF if the deep bezel blocks more side spill than I suspect. Possibly less OTF if its a spring floating design with no thermal path, although at this low of a drive current I would not expect it to warm that much… definitely not enough heat to initiate thermal dimming on a cold start.

I saw XM-L table somewhere.
1.0A about 3.0Vf
1.5A about 3.1Vf
2.0A about 3.2Vf
3.0A about 3.3Vf

For current @ tailcap, maybe you will wait for the other to correct this.

Rectification:
Battery : 7.2V and I : 4A

With internal Converter: 3.6V and 4A

(Absolute) is # 1.3 A by LED

Where approximately 500 lumens per LED
Total 1500 Lumens
It is very far from 4000 Lumens announced

FR
Rectification :
Batteries 7.2V Courant 2A

Avec convertisseur : 3.6V et 4A
Soit (en absolu) 1.3A par LED
D’ou environ 500 lumens par LED (1500 Lumens en tout)
on est très loin de 4000 Lumens annoncé

Prochain message sur ATTENTION internal O-Rings !

here :
Flux aprox. and real control autonomy

- SSC P7 (900 Lumens) 50mn

  • TR-DF003 (1800 Lumens) 2h and 1h
    26650 or 18650

- MJ-850 (1200Lumens) 2h 20mn

- MJ-878 (2200 Lumens) 1h 30mn

  • TR-DF003 (1800 Lumens) 2h and 1h
    26650 or 18650

Conditions:
charged batteries + rest 24 hours

Looks like the thing is eating the O-rings.

I think that putting some silicone grease on the threads once a month will solve the problem.

So are you saying you measured it at 1800 lumens? Love the Magicshine!! But for over $260! Was surprised to see you could get it at Dealextreme.

I have a TR-DF003 where all joints ls body are HS! (4)

I have just changed by my personal seals and well sealed
