You will love the head on this light and how it is machined. I especially love the battery machined out slots. The Xtar 18700 2600mah fit perfectly in this light. No problems whatsoever. Like I said I am sold on this light.
This is really a good light. I got it today, and I am satisfied with the quality and the brightness. It puts out 600 otf lumen and 41kcd. A little strange thing around the regulation: when I put weaker cells in the light, the brightness increases with about 10%. I am a little confused because I did a brightness runtime test with 2 TF flame, and the light looks well regulated, so I don't know why increases the output sometimes with weaker cells.
There is a possibility to modify the led current with a resistor change.
Here is the brightness runtime graph after a conservative resistor modification on the driver:
Ilikeflashlights says his sample has tint bit cooler than the t13 (which IMO has about perfect for a thrower, ~1D, the stl-v2/v6’s have 1A tints). How’s the color on yours?
Increased output with weaker cell (and by weaker I assume you mean lower voltage) implies the driver regulates to constant power, which is frankly surprising for a light in this price category. Might be able to use cr123’s after all. Anyone brave enough to give it a shot? :bigsmile:
Love this light. But mine arrived with one spring way off centre, it still worked but didn’t look good. So I took the switch off and re-soldered it in place. Found the four screws that hold the switch plate onto the body were all not tight at all. Might be worth checking your screws before they fall out guys.
Anyone got the driver board out yet? How to do it??
Hmm, hard to determine the tint bin for me, what I see, it’s cool white, cooler side of the tint bin, the spill with slight purple tint, the spot is pure white
the star is bigger than 20mm, I don’t know exactly, I don’t want to take apart the head, now it is perfectly centered.
I think it is 25mm.
The pill is not hollow, and the heatsinking is very good.
