Nice combination there. I have a dbs v3 xre running on 2xcr123's. im really considering the FF stl-v6 so i can lego it also with my dbs. any advice on the best way to power it in this configuration? thanks and keepup the good work.:)
There are only 2 options, the AW IMR 18350, or BIO IMR 18350. The latter has been tested by me, mitro and Dasfriek to be over 900mAh, for me i test at 1A and the other 2 pals gun at much higher currents. I think E1320 has them too.
Do a google, results on BLF turn out on top of CPF.
Hi Andi, nice to hear that C8 tube fits well. For those who do not wish to change the driver, just operate in 2 x 18350 mode, the BIO IMR 18350 are cheap and have high capacity of at least 900mAh as tested by quite a few of us (specs is just 800mAh).
Btw, do measure your lights at over 10m. We recently found out that closer readings, even 5m ones, could very inaccurate for a lot of lights.
Finally did 50m range measurement. 20.0 lux @ 50m, 50k candelas. (tailcap 1.36A).
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I just received one of these todays (2 years late I guess), and:
- Can figure out how to access the groups per above?
The one I got has a longer tube and a shorter tube. Does the “shorty” require a tube from a different light? I tried several of my C8 tubes (a bunch) and they’re all too small diameter.
When you say “head” do you mean from the part just in front (towards the bezel) of that kind of knurled “knob”? Or can it separate further forward (towards the bezel)?
If the former, I’ve tried that, and still get 5 modes.
Reviewed that thread, and it doesn’t provide more info about changing the groups.
Is it possible that the one that I got doesn’t have the two groups?
Edit: To be clear, I’m only getting the 5-mode group (H-M-L-Strobe-SOS). I can’t get the 3-mode group.
Edit 2: Also, how do you get the pill out of this light?
I was looking at the driver end of the pill, and the pill has a kind of angled edge, while the front edge of the battery tube has a kind of thick edge.
I’m guessing that the way that the groups work is that if the tube is screwed in to the point that the end of the tube goes past the rearmost edge of the pill, that does something to activate the 3-mode group.
So, I’m wondering if maybe either the pill is too far forward, or maybe I’m not screwing the tube into the head far enough? I’ve tried with some nitrile gloves, but still can’t get the 3 mode group.
