Whoa, that means the voltage under load would be quite lower.. so thats really empty..
But I wonder why the blue LED remains on, I thought it was to show "full battery"?
Thank you for that test but imo this flashlight is taking the cells too far in any aspect..
Yep, I have to agree whether using it as a flashlight or charger, it seems to allow the batteries to drain more than I’m comfortable with. From my testing, it appears when you recharge the batteries while inside the flashlight, the blue LED illuminates only when it’s fully charged. Once using it as a flashlight or charger, the blue LED then serves double duty and then shows the last 20% capacity of the batteries.
At least when using this light in either case and for long durations, it may be a good idea have the LED battery indicator illuminated and stop using it when all but the last red LED is lit.
From the specs description, it was my understanding the *_Over-discharge protection when the battery voltage is 3V _ ment it would shut the light down, which it doesn’t.
IOS should change that part in the specs to read, low voltage warning (it will lower power at 3V and flash).
It would also be prudent to note in the specs there is no low voltage protection at all when being used as a charger for an external device.

Intloutdoors website is currently down so I dont now the price, but its probably cheaper on kaido.
Ill buy it for sure - anybody knows where I can buy rubber USB dust caps?
PS: I found later links in post 12 of this topic (for rubber caps)
ALso, I’ve found some rubber caps at ebay… http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anti-dust-Stopper-Cover-Protector-Plug-For-All-USB-Port-Laptop-Desktop-/330728527389?pt=US_Keyboard_Protectors&hash=item4d00f4d61d
Can I use apple charging port for powering some non-apple product wich requires 1A current.
SO, its not gfor charging of this device, its for powering it…

This looks like a similar (the same?) light. Ships from USA. Free 2-day with Prime!
Nice find. Looks identical as far as I can tell, and not only is it cheaper, it’s fast/free shipping! I put it in my amazon cart and told my wife I found a Christmas present.
Hi, I have read the thread through and the lights seems to be what I need. So protected batteries is a must but most dont seem to fit. Anyone out there who has found a make of protected ones that fit without modding the light ? I would like to get as close to 3000mAh as possible but yes they all seem to be closer to 70 mm long
Eagletac’s 3100mAh/3400mAh ones are smallest of protected >3000mAh batteries.
Amazon delivered mine today. Its identical to the one reviewed (except says Zuwit T6 on the side). I had to shorten the springs to fit protected 18650s. AC Charger has US plug and it came with all the regular cell phone adapters including microUSB. Works great.

Seeing it on Amazon definitely makes this harder to resist. Shipped by Amazon, so returns are easy, and I can have it in two days, or even next day for $4.00 more. Still cheaper than anywhere else!
Wish Amazon had the neutral white version!

I have my NW XinTD C8 in hand along with batteries. The charger will be delivered tomorrow. This is my first NW, so I will finally see what all the talk is about!
I’ve had mine for over 6 months. Got the NW, a UCL lens, and added a ninth 7135.
A really nice combination of 3x 18650 cell capacity, single LED throw, good LMH modes, and a package size that’s perfect for the hand.
Recharging without handling batteries is so convenient. I haven’t used the charging out capability much but it’s there if needed - I most likely would need it for a cell phone while camping, so I don’t need to worry about the over-discharging.
The branding on the side could be a bit less tacky. Mine says JinHeng 12A.
Did you guys receive this light with mode memory from intl-outdoor ? i got that impression from some previous posts. Mine does not have it
Hi Fred,
My neutral white 3-mode has mode memory. I just double checked it before posting this.
+1 on the mode memory from intl-outdoor
I like the looks of this light…very cool and gobs of tech appeal.
Ok so according to intl-outdoor they are no longer using the same driver in the light as was reviewed in this thread. The current driver does not support mode memory, however mine (purchased in dec 2012) will turn to HIGH mode after being shut off for a timeperiod of 30 seconds regardless of which mode it was at when turned on. I would have liked to have memory but i guess I can live with this as well.
Have anyone fitted intl-outdoor PCS Panasonic NCR18650A 3100mAh Protected Batteries in the light ?, id like to get them but i’m concerned about their thickness, length should be fine after shortening the springs.
i’m also noticing a loss of mAh when charging a HTC smartphone, still have to calculate the efficiency of the transfer though
