Ooops, I'm thinking yes, scaled amperage in modes, so it's scaled accordingly. Didn't test that, but think I recall seeing it on in the lightbox for a moment. At work now, no access for another 8 hours or so.
I used eneloops and 14500’s on my sipik68 and yes eneloop gives out lower output when compared to 14500 battery
I would assume it will do the same thing on this light too
Mode Operation - this is how I understand how it works
With it OFF, hold the button for about 1.5 secs and it will come on in "very low" mode, 1 click will turn it OFF
With it OFF, one click it comes on in "low" mode, another click to "high" mode, next click OFF
With the light in "low" mode, hold the button and it starts ramping up, let go at anytime to set the new "low" mode. If you hit the max ramp setting, the light blinks twice. The max ramp is still lower than "high" mode
If you have the "low" mode max'ed out, holding the button will reset it back to the lowest value for "low" mode
With the light ON in either "low" or "high" mode, a double click will be strobe, then single click to exit strobe
The "very low" mode is a nice feature because you don't have to go through "high" to turn the light OFF, but definitely not as low as a moonlight mode.
More Details:
The tailcap lock-out feature works very well on both lights - 1/4 turn, light goes OUT - power is cut
For the SC01, KeepPower 840 mAh protected and Sanyo unprotected cells fit and work well
Can someone confirm the tint colour? Bluish, greenish or pure white? I just sold my S10 because I can’t stand the greenish and now looking for a replacement.
Definitely cool white - looks 1A to me. I had the beam up against my BLF Mini-01 with a 3C in it, and definitely a lot cooler than the Mini. RIC at CNQ has both these lights available in neutral 3C, more money though.
I’m curious to see what the modded ones look like with a better driver. Does anyone know if Ric’s NW versions have a better driver?
In the meantime, I said to the wife “how about if you buy yourself something nice so I can justify a titanium flashlight?” and she said “sounds good to me”, so I have the go-ahead for the Ti Olight S15. It’s a little closer to my perfect EDC but I don’t believe has the same ramping. And it’s contingent on me telling the gardener that I’ll be raking the truckload of pine needles myself, so the Ti S15 will cost me a Saturday. #firstworldproblems
I'd bet RIC's has the same driver - the description match's how the FT ones work to a T, though my description is more thorough . It certainly would not have more amps as well - RIC's stuff is mostly pretty conservative, though couple exceptions.
I got a parasitic draw of .03ma/30 muA. I really like this light. I remember someone once asked if there really was nothing between a sc52 and a sk68. This might be it!
