Does anyone know about the memory mode of the EAGLE EYES F30 CREE XM-L2 ?
I am searching for a budget 18650-light with XM-L that always starts on LOW - without mode memory.
The EAGLE EYES F30 seems to be perfect if it has no memory…
All of the other Eagle Eye have memory so I would assume this does also. I expect to recieve the X2, F30 and F35 in the next few days or so and can let you know then.
I am very surprised that the eagle eye modsun f30 design light has not gathered more attention. They cost a little more than a convoy s8 but they feel more expensive than a convoy and equivalent to a klarus in hand. Just looking at all the extra machining and design will help you appreciate the f30. The machining and anodizing are top notch. 100% haiii, comparable to a sunwayman d40a. All of the nice brass internals are present, coated glass lens and more compact than a convoy s2+ or s8.
The 17mm driver is also unique. Low,med,high and turbo. The strobe is completely hidden. The mechanical rear switch behaves like an electronic side switch. A quick double half press brings out the strobe if you really want it for some reason. You dont have to cycle through it like other mechanical switch lights. The driver detects a quick double half short.
The driver does have mode memory, but i like it. My least favorite is the dreaded next mode memory found in some drivers. The driver in the f30 runs 2.68ma. It has a common 17mm driver that is easy to replace if you dont like it.
