Mouse Overworks fine !!!
Thanks for checking!
Will keep that in mind for combat after mine comes. :bigsmile:
I have so many big head 2x18650 throwers now that I need to buy some more diffusion film…
Possibly solarforce l2t would be better/easier to get I talked to a surefire rep a few months back and they said I couldn't buy a replacement ring for my c3.@alex the star seems to be the 30mm one used on the trustfire x9,if you can verify that I would appreciate it.
Measured with a ruler to 24mm, thanks for the info about the solarforce, I already tried ebay for the grip only found this, not sure if it fits at all or maybe they are something completely different
You can you also measure the reflector and the outside diameter of threads around the LED.
Thanks alex,my local gun shop sells surefire gear and I tried those on my light and bottom line is they stink.Surefire has discontinued all sorts of stuff and I even asked to buy a m3lt cigar grip and they outright said no.
Sorry zizo, I’m not opening that reflector again! The silicon seal was a major pain in the butt to put on right, the best I can measure is 52 mm inside the parabola (To the edge or reflecting surface) and maybe 54-55mm outside diameter, I only opened it up because it had lint and wanted a clean reflector, if it came clean I would not have messed with it in the first place.
There is some wiggle between the threads of the reflector and the heatsink while being tightened so I had to close it very slowly and carefully to make sure that the led was perfectly centered in the reflector since I am not using the centering ring anymore, it has better throw without it, IMHO.
Look at that perfectly centered led, I like it!
No problem. Hopefully I will get mine in a few days. Thanks anyway.
I just received it.
Digital switch is little stiff, and making cheap noice, not so soft as on SkyRay King.
LED is not perfectly centered on my.
I was little confused that sideswitch is not on/ooff switch, just for changing modes… (Im not very thrilled about that and it doesnt seem practical…. It should have been on off switch too.)
But thats not important - whats most important is that is a shame, if reports are true, that stock driver is underdriving the LED:
I like that it always starts on high…
Has anybody measured lux on that lights.
Any more measurements of tailcap current?
All in all, light has many cons, but it looks good and I think its more than good for that price.
PS: Has anybody tried to change the driver on that light Will digital, secondarxyswitch interfere in such change??
I consulted searching for lux measurements for this eagletec, and I found this throw calculation based on lux measurements - so this eagletec throws something like Beamshot of 13 lights, September 2011
SkyRay STL-V2, 440 meters.
This flashlight definitely needs driver change.
Any ideas wich driver to pout in it.
Today Ill try to diassemble it to see wich size of drivers it will accept.
Such a shame it scomes with weak driver - so, the price turned out to be realistic. Not some awesome deal. With good driver it would be good deal
To be fair, even though the driver’s clearly not ideal, it’s not that terrible, either. These emitters deliver most of their light by 2A-2.5A anyway. Since this is ostensibly a thrower, you’ll only get maybe 25% more distance from 100% more power draw in any case.
I really wish Small sun would do the side switch on a general purpose 1x18650 light a la zebralight sc600.
Yes I tested it outside (I’ll refrain from talking about meters) and of course its not a bad thrower, and its suitable for most purposes.
It gives nice, focused beam. But, you know, Ill try to make most of it, Ill tr that mod with resistors.
It was talked about on another topic, to ut 0,3-0,5 resistor in paralel, somewhere on stock driver, to yield current around 3,0A.
I dont know can I harvest some such resistor from some cheaper drive (Ive never done that nor do I know how resistors exactly look like.)
I change my mind, Ill mention meters after all: google Earth shows me that it throws at least 360 meters….
Of course, object lit on 360 meters is not very bright 
I have church tower made from brick 360meters from my house, so I test flashlights sometimes on that. SO, its not white, but from brick (red).
(I wonder how many lumens is needed that road signs start reflecting the light )
I was asking about changing the sense resistors myself, did you find a value to use in parallel to the original ones? Not sure what you meant by “0,3-0,5” what is that in ohms?
Yes, I think, you can find that info in topic called, “New lights from manafont” or something like that.
Viffer wrote about it.
This driver would be greeat with more current, I like it because it always starts at high.
Look here - Many Interesting Flashlights from MF (07/10/12)
I got mine today and I am very pleased with it’s performance. I think it’s a great light for $24.24!!! I just had it outside and compared it to my TrustFire X8 and the ZY-T13 smoked it. Then I got the Shadow TC 500 and they were very close and it took several looks to tell that the T13 was the winner over it but it won’t beat the T40CS……Overall I wish I would have bought this over the Shadow TC 500 which I paid $59.99
Mine came in today and I am disappointed in manafont,I asked that it was checked before shipping and I was intending to review it on BLF.They responded that extra Q.C. would be applied,but when it came it looked like it had been dropped a few times.Ironic because I never had a damaged item from them before.Enough blubbering from me,I do like the light and it's a medium power light with decent throw and for 24 bones,not a bad deal.This may get an overhaul soon.
Uh-oh, that doesn’t sound good mate. I’ve got one of these and some other stuff from Manafont being shipped at the moment with “extra Q.C.” requested as well … maybe they think Q.C. means “Quit Caring” or something??
I’d demand a partial refund if I were you, I don’t think anyone else has reported theirs being all banged up??
It would have looked bad on them for a review and I think mine was damaged pre-packing because the thing was triple bubble wrapped and double enveloped.I don't expect they will do much,might not be worth it.
