i would have to say the
TrustFire TR-3T6 Triple XM-L T6 5-Modes Memory LED Flashlight (3x18650)
ahh i thought you changed your mind.
if you send me 4 imr,s ill try it... i have a TR-1200 ( thats driven in the same way as the TR-3T6 ) the extention tubes fit the TR-3T6 i thought about trying it on 4 or 5 trust fire flame batteries but i know it would end bad, running a good torch for over an hour is one thing but doubling the running voltage is another.
I don't have IMR's, but even 3 good cells would help verify this. What I mean is that we suspect the driver bucks because of its decreasing voltage even up to 3 cell, but we can't really be sure because it could just be due to sag. 3 cells that maintain >4V even under load would verify this.
At the current moment, definitely. Not the brighest but so far not issue. And CNQ is selling at $45, it's $9 for shipping. But if you wait and get his other flashlights like the new Shadows, you could save somemore, well maybe not a lot but with DHL at least it'd be real fast. :D
Oh and buy some heatsink compound from DX too and squeeze on the threads! LOL!
I measured with 4 AAs, seems like 3.3A.... Let me take hold of my second meter (Uni T UT-58E) and see what happens....should be quite soon.
Agenthex, you want me to try the 3x Panasonics? They'd definitely be > 12V under such light load. They are the best. Hit over 3100mAh when digging down to 2.6V.
there is not much sag at all on 3 cell,s at 4,2v but i see where your comming from. dont you have this torch ?
Ok it's 1.36A 3-cells. I pushed down the cells pretty hard and cleaned everything with deoxit. LOL!
2-cells it's 2.05A. Remember, everything's relative, coz i do not have a good meter....but then the current's not that high anyway. .
Hey it scales exactly the same...serious. 2.05 x 2 = 4.1. 4.1/3 = 1.3667.
On 1 cell where it breaks regulation, on my NCR18650A it takes 2.4A.
CNQ only sell the 2 cell version and shipping to me is more then 9 bucks so it works out more $ then manafont to me.
i have artic silver thermal paste for cpu,s and gpu,s but i dont use it on my TR-1200 and TF-3T6 or others.
if you want a good cheap super bright 3 x xml t6 light that will last and can be used for long run times its the TF-3T6 untill the next best thing comes out, i love mine and use it loads its now my fav light
to true but since you have Rev 0 3800 i will ask you to do the same test as i did since my mate is to chicken and report the current draw increase and the temp please.
Ok, i'll go disturb him (Ric) and see if CNQG is 2-cell or 3-cell. heheh......
shipping still puts me off and it still will work out more $$ for me but other,s might be intrested.
Ok, found everything and tried w/ 2 16340 and 1 18650 (12V total). 2.6A, vs 2.73 minimum (quickly rising to 3A) for 2 cells (at max 8.4v). Quite bright, about 50% more light on the meter. Suspect just going to DD? Not going to try runtime, given this isn't exactly the safest setup for it, esp since I can be absentminded sometimes.
rising to 3 amp quickly she might smoke
try the run time test i did on 2 x 18650,s
You tried 3 cells on the SR3800 rev 0? The 16340 are going to sag man, so not sure what is the real voltage, but we'll make do. Main thing is that it does 50% more light on meter, that's the bottomline. 
Remember Thommy? He has a SBOMZ triple XM-L, the only guy i am aware of with the SBOMZ which takes 4 cells with all the happening extensions. 3 cells it's 1.77A, 4 cells it is 1.3x A. But he mentioned it could not work on 2-cells. He ain't posting nowadays, after he received a DOA of something from Manafont (forgot what is it)
The Trustfire TF-3T6 reports the same light on 2 or 3 cells.
What I mean is that I measured it @2.6A at 12v on the cells total. The 2.7/3A number is for 2 cell (min 2.7A and goes to 3A pretty quickly, before voltage even drops to 8v). I might charge up the cells to full (12.4v or so on my undercharging chargers) and see if it goes up (DD) or down (regulation).
2100 already did a lot of runtime test for 2 cell. It goes to like 4A+ towards the end until it has some kind of low voltage cutoff.
The SBOMZ has a buck driver, no boost. Entirely different to these.
Ok, if anybody wants to get the 3-cell TF-3T6, can add $2 for the extension at CNQG. So it's $47. I think if you ask him to test, he will test for ya....he's a flashaholic man. :D
Buy more then of course it could be a few dollars more for DHL shipping and stuff etc. Sometimes i even see EMS to be cheaper than registered air. MF does not do no negotiations.
Indeed they are but they are the 2-cell version. I got the 3-cell version which can be used in 2 or 3 cell configurations for more options. Looks like a good price though.
