i hope it really has no memory, and is driven harder than 1200mah
ill be able to do a true apples to apples comparison with this and the BLF A8
to be honest, they had contacted me and asked if i was willing to do a light review for them. i wanted to do a different light, one that was very interesting and no reviews on or really anything. but they wanted to send this light instead.
i havent totally decided yet, but i may do some sort of giveaway with it when im done… but dont hold me to it
edit: this host is cheaper than the trustfire a8s i have seen, and has anno’d threads, comes with 18650 and 3xAAA adapters. may be a decent deal at the asking price
Now DX added the UF LZZ-F15, identical at first sight to the sky eye 15, about 0.30$ cheaper XP
Who knows about the quality of both (which is the better…)
I see they also added Ultrafire versions of the other Sky Eye's!
-Garry
Now the million dollar question: which one to buy? Which will have the best quality?
How much you wanna bet they're identical? :)
-Garry
hmmm… remember what happen with Aurora / Ultrafire. They seem identical but then one have bad threads, etc
Got this light today. Will be sure to let you guys know what I think about it tonight.hope its in the same league as the a8
Great! Anxious to hear some thoughts in comparison to the BLF A8. Nearly identical build quality? Vastly different?
-Garry
I don't know, won't be able to comment on it until I get home. My fiance just sent me a pic of it. Looks nice in the pic though lol
well, good and bad. for most of us the bad is minor.
the good:
the light pulls 2.8a on high. the machining feels as good as the blf a8. i like the isolation disk on this f15 more.
the not so good:
next mode memory. slight blemishes on the finish around the scalloping on the tail cap.
i still need to do a tear down, review and comparison. so stay tuned. will most likely be this weekend
Thanks Pulsar. Looking forward to the full review. I'm really learning to hate "next mode memory"!
-Garry
This is actually my first with next mode memory. It's useless. They should have just done no memory.
There are some interesting things to note comparing the a8 and f15... But I will leave those for later
How do performs the F15 with 3xAAA???
Any idea???
with alkaleaks, not too impressive... around 1a on high. still have not been able to track down two more of my nimhs
Thanks
Can you “guess” how many lumens does it produces with just 3xAAA (no matter if alkaline or nimh)
Around 100 lumen?
https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/2346
by that graph, at 1a, it will have about 400l, so i would guess after driver inefficiencies, lens/reflector losses, maybe right around 300l on alkaleaks?
i dont have anyway to measure lumens, just lux
edit: im pretty sure it will do better on nimhs
Like I did with my F13, I would go with 4xAAA's with a 4AAA carrier. My F13 was twice as bright with it!
-Garry
Thanks!
Still need to remember to put one of those in my cart for my next order... It's been 4 orders since we talked about that and I totally forgot about it.
