BOMBAY, while I did the test you asked, I got very different results from my runtime graph above: the stepdown is very very low.
The Turbo curve I get now is completely different from the one I got before. I checked the data log from that old test, and I can’t find any error.
However, I tested the first 10 minutes of runtime at turbo 3 times with 2 different cells and got the same results… This can’t be wrong.
After the stepdown at turbo, the output is still much higher than the one high level.
And, coming to your answer: yes, you can. Just switch off and back on the light.
However, as you can see in the last graphic, what you gain is around 10% of output. Such a small gain at 1000+ lumens is something very hard to notice by eye, while the light will have a lot more heat to handle.
thanks for the great review and graphs. Run Time looks very good with + 1250lumen and 18650 battery, I have cold hands, act as a good heat sink :). I like this type of flashlight, now I use mostly eagle eye x6r xp-l hi, sometimes blf d80 but I think that I have to buy my first Manker light
Gteat review,i know a few old time modders who dont luke the xhp 35s, and believe to be inefficient, but those apecs are hars to beat in a light that’s hardly longer than a standard C8 . And to be honest i have fried more than that in emittwrs and drivers just in the last week.So heck woth I may regret it in a couple of months but i couldnt help myself and pulled the trigger on it and wuth reviews like this one you guys arent helping my addiction ,lol thanks for yhe great review.
HI Buddah thanks for the great job and graphs ,no i like it but ialso know some well respected mebers dont really care for the xhp,me iam a sucker and i love the idea of such a compact thrower i aslo May God and my wife forgive me spent money i dont have for a Acebeam k70,just because of the ridiculous amount of tbrow these lights have !
