Nice work guys. Funniest competition I've heard off for along time. OL, no piking out now. The whole of BLF is going to be watching you wave your magic over these two lights so that they may be something they were never meant to be. Good luck.
I think the dimming of the SC600 after a while is the built-in timer in it. Using a stopwatch, I have tried it several times in my SC600. If started on TURBO mode, the light will step-down to HIGH after exactly 5min, 3 secs., or if a ‘tired’ cell is used, then it will step-down anytime below 5min.
A bit of glass is missing on the SC600, right?! It needs emergency care before mkett39’s bucket of oil! The T50 is dead, its lost already. Let us treat our wounded! Please!
Just got the package and do I have some news for you! I decided just for the heck of it to drop a fresh battery in the UF and she functions perfectly. So it seems we will have two working lights to conduct the test on. Hope to do test fri or Sat and will post pics and results.
I’m willing to bet it had a bad connection with the head off the body tube. The pill in the T50 is basically soldered to the body and you can break this solder connection and have issues, I have with mine, but if it’s together snugly mine works fine.
My guess is that some water left in the light caused a short somewhere. When dried up it worked again, just like the pre-smartphone Nokia's that were submerged: open it up, let dry for a week, put in a fresh battery and presto!
Wow! I am shocked! I tried both the power supply and 3 different 18650s. I just realized I did leave some batteries in those lights, so enjoy the new batteries mket. ;)
No, it killed one of my batteries. Sent to scaru without because 1) it’s about the lights not the batteries and 2) didn’t want any problems with the geniuses at the post office
Just tested it to answer your question and looks like I spoke too soon because it’s working again. Left the batteries in for everything except the two bakings and the boiling. After the second baking which was to dry both lights out and my final test, the battery I’d been using in the UF-T50 wouldn’t put out. Thought at first the light had died but popped in a new battery and it worked. My guess is all the water leaking into the UF-T50’s battery compartment eventually somehow took its toll but only temporarily. At least it didn’t pull a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Shadow HQ
