Regarding the mode switching, if done a little faster than normal there are no issues. I think I will end up shortening the inner spring to relieve some of the upward pressure. It would certainly make the rotation a little easier without the constant thread grinding.
mags, you should make up some ‘referral cards’ with the BLF web address to hand out when you go to the cinema. That would likely guarantee some ‘conversions’ to members…
It was a hit last night at the pub. The security guard LOVED it.
By the way, it is more floody because of the OP reflector. It’s a LOT of light for a tiny pocket/keychain torch - too much, really. Which is awesome. If someone finds a suitable smooth reflector that would fit, I’d be down to replace the original. Just because.
ok thats it. i resisted this lil bugger since the day i first read this thread and other similiar threads about this light. cant take it no mo’
im gonna have to see what this guys all about, i knew i shouldnt have clicked on this thread today.
so i dont own any 16340’s. are there any sellers out there that includes a decent cell with the light? or should i buy them seperately? so where is most of you guys buying this light. theres a bunch on ebay…any respectable ones?
The light comes with a Trustfire primary which throws out plenty of light, especially for such a small flashlight. But feed it a 3.7v rcr123a and it gets REALLY bright.
Depends on what you want the light for. If you want extended use on high without heat issues, then a primary cr123 is the way to go, that way you can drain the cell until its empty. Or a 3.2v rechargeable cr123 LifeP04 cell, but you need to be careful not to over discharge or the cell will get damaged.
A protected rcr123a seems the best option if you want BRIGHT, that way, if you run the cell too low, its protection circuit should save any issues.
just recieved mine this weekend…… very nice little light got a 600mah xtar 16340 in it at the minute…. may try an unprotected in it when i get round to buying one
yep… gets nice and hot after a minute or two…… took dog out to a mates and took it with me and got the response “what the hell is that” when i turned it on in his back yard lol
