The truth is they don’t have any details on the page, except for the title and picture, so we’ll have to wait for the review. It looks very nice, I might be interested…
anybody obtain more detail specs from them yet?
would love to see decent driver…particularly constant brightness…
HML no memory and always start on high looks like balder Hd1…
Initial impressions: + It looks as good as in the photos
+ Good build quality
+ Nice tint
+ Nice beam (with LOP reflector)
+ Well regulated (see runtime graph) + Modes are ok (116lm, 42lm, 8lm - I'd like to have even lower low, but this isn't bad either)
+ No blinky modes
+ No low voltage protection -> works down to moon mode (yes, this is a pro in case of an AA light!)
- Not current controlled (has PWM, although pretty fast & unnoticeable, haven't measured it yet, but it seems to be around 1kHz)
- Next mode memory(!!) I already contacted Ric about this issue. Let's see what he answers..
Tailcap readings were: 1.40A, 0.56A & 0.13A
Runtime chart (Eneloop 2000mAh, light kept in hand to provide "natural cooling"):
I have no idea how anyone anywhere ever could come up with a driver and think next mode memory is a good idea. Next mode memory will make this one a no-go for me!
I think this is one of the smarter categories for group buy /custom blf lights
AA Shiny Stainless Steel has a great overall appeal .
I'd like to see the N-light B2S make a come back with updated emitter
Driver seems to be the weakest link here . I love the emitter choice but would want a AA 14500 driver with low to high ,no memory, no flashy modes instead of high to low .
