single 18650 + XHP70: nitecore TM03

$130?
Better be good

Very impressive output for a single-cell boost driver. I don’t think I’ve seen any reports of higher.

Wow, maybe my new EDC contender.
I’ve had EDC-ing P10 and now P20, i just love that two switch on the tailcap setup.

I lean more towards the idea that the special feature if the cell is that it is a protected IMR. That would make sense since it seems this light is aimed at the LEO/Security user, who usually isn’t all that up on Li-Ion in general and the care and treatment of IMR cells in particular. With a protection circuit Nitecore is making sure that the cell is not drained to the point of damage. I know someone here or at CPF will drop a regular high drain IMR cell in to see what happens, and let us know.

code is available…

Can I get the code please.

Code please

Looks nice, but I’ll pass due to the proprietary battery and price.

Still waiting for a review

4.5 mm wall thickness, sounds very tough.

Same here. I am waiting for some reviews and beam shots to get a better idea on real world performance. I currently have the Fenix TK 16 and I am very happy with it. I wouldn’t want to go any bigger for an EDC.

I get mine Monday or Tuesday I’ll post beamshots

I wait for a real review and I want to know if it works with a generic battery, if it only works with its dedicated battery I do not want it, but if is a gift maybe I accept it

Awesome review vid. That shows us, ermmm, exactly nothing. Why bother???

That’s like reviewing a car without driving it.

Because that’s not a review, just showing the light and the modes. Submitted by a flashlight selling website.

May I have the code?

Using P2 flux bin, 90% optical efficiency and 85% driver efficiency, will take 22.10 Watts to reach 2817 lumens. So 6.13A input from battery @ 3.6V.

The problem with using a different battery is going to be the proprietary end cap or PCB. Streamlight has been building batteries like this for a long time. I’ve modded higher capacity batteries to work, but it requires re-using the parts of an OEM battery or machining a replacement cap out of delrin and wrapping your own.

Looks like a nice light, I’m interested.

ETA: Those numbers looked somewhat conservative to me, so I went back and checked, seems the PCT program isn’t loading parameters correctly. Not sure what the deal is, installed a No Track plugin a few days ago and it may be responsible. They should be fairly close but the Tj and Optical Efficiency are going to cause it to be lower than actual.

Also, no runtime listed for Turbo, so I’m guessing with its thermal regulation it won’t stay there long.

He states that the video is not a review.

Because he sells at https://www.selected-lights.de/ he does the videos just to show the products on camera and any revues will be done by members of http://www.taschenlampen-forum.de/.
