Might need to fiddle around with the tailcap. Mine at first only gave around 1.3A from it’s first driver the Nanj 6*7135 (around 2.1A). After fiddling it went up to 2.1A. No idea what I did.
My A8 is NW. I can see it change color from a NW tint to something more CW after being on high for a few seconds. This does not happen for the other modes. Is the color change normal?
Lucky it’s going to CW and not green or yellow :bigsmile:
Anyhow, yes, CREE bins their light on lower current. Tints at higher currents are never defined, it’s a bit of a lottery, you just hope they don’t stray too far off the lower-current value.
Got it!!! Only problem was it was marked CW on the box and the tint looks cool…
Rey asked me if the light itself as CW or NW….How would I tell from looking at the light itself….?
Thanks

You will not find anything on it, which tells you CW or NW. Can you compare it with another flashligt of your own, which is CW or NW? If not, make a picture of a beamshot (white wall would be great) and post it.
I will say its a whole lot whiter than my SC600W…A whole lot.
I had a NW P32UE for a while and while it was a tad whiter than the SC600w, I would have called that neutral….
This one I would have a hard time accepting as neutral…that and the box had CW written on it….
No matter, I am not putting the guy through a return or whatever the solution is, I’ll end up selling it and the One 26650 cell I own.

Rey just emailed that he didnt have enough boxes and that I got an NW in a CW box…
What kind of tailcap readings are people getting on the BLF A8 (or the BLF A8 driver if you bought those)? I'm seeing differing numbers and am curious what to expect out of my unused BLF A8 driver. _the_ reported up to 3.85A in his review sample. CD reports only 2.74A in the O.P.
