Rewiew of KLARUS RS30BA

Hello guys today I present the new version of :slight_smile: Klarus RS30BA :slight_smile: kindly sent by http://www.klaruslight.com for testing.

The Klarus RS30 came out, mounts led Cree xm-l2 u2 from cool white color, the rs buttons system, the body looks quite appealing and comfortable to hold in your hand, batteries in parallel and the magnetic charging, system signaling the charge and discharge of the inserted cells. So Curious!
Here are the specs:
• 2 CREE XM-L2 U2 LEDs, Max lifespan 50000 hours
• Batteries: Use two 18650 * or 4 * CR123A or mixed by placing 1 * 18650 + 2 * CR123A
inserting one 18650 battery or 2x1cr123 light up only one LED
(Note: only 18650 battery with protection PCB can be recharged in the torch)
• Dimensions: 139mm (length) x 50mm (width) x27mm (thickness)
• 5 lighting modes and two flash modes
• Weight: 251g (without batteries)
• Working Voltage: 3-8.4V
• Reflector: Newly designed reflector That Provides Both focused and floodlight, offering perfect spot illumination
• Lens: Toughened ultra-clear tempered glass, scratch-resistant and wear-resistant
• Material: Aircraft grade aluminum, Military III hard anodic oxidation
• Body color: Black
• Water proof: IPX-8 (Under water 2 meters)

The torch arrives home in the particular box Klarus, attractive and with all the specifications printed above. A sticker reminds us that the BA version has batteries included! Flashlight Ready to use!


A window lets us see the torch to have its preview before you remove it from its case;) where we will find inside:
• Torch with inside batteries Klarus PCB 2600mah
• Instruction manual
• O-ring and wrist strap
• well-made case
• USB magnetic charging cable

We take the RS30 and we can break down into 2 main pieces in hand are:
• BODY: the very eye-catching color, this different from the usual black military gray. My model, under the gray tint, at the sunlight has a delicate shade anthracite.
Anodizing by a good feed, is not slippery and seems to resist well to shocks.
The materials as always are of excellent quality and give a sense of strength, the precise and clean processes. The lettering is barely perceptible to the touch but very precise.


The thicknesses also generous here they allow to have an object from the great solidity throughout its length, width and thickness, with a consistent weight of 250g, and a little unbalanced on the front because of the big head that houses parable, LED, circuit and keys. The design avoids rolling as practically a rectangle! :wink: The deep grooves on the short sides of the device have the purpose of ensuring the outlet of the torch.
We also find a black operating buttons and the other orange that will allow us to navigate the mode that offers us the UI of the RS30. The used rubber and very soft and resistant even to the pressure you have a good feeling.

In the lead are the crowns of stainless with polished finish, do not work as evacuation hammer, used to protect and seal the anti-reflective glass with transmittance of 98/99%, the aluminum reflectors have LOP finish (light orange peel), and LED XM- l2 which are perfectly centered, the excellent tint CW without color domimanti.

On the inside at the bottom, we see the gold plated spring contacts, the pbc which houses the circuit, to ’external magnetic find a shape of a circular crown base (the end of the good geometry;)) with around a transparent band, inside 2 LEDs change color depending on the inserted batteries, indicate with the red charging, with the green 100% charge. When using the torch this convenient indicator lets us know with he sees the charge between 70% –100, with the orange from 30 –70, with the remaining 30 of the red and the red flashing indicates 10% residual . The two indicators are independent for each battery, and work only with 18650 cells
Even charging the LED will indicate that there is charging (red LED) and full charge (green LED)
The charging of the batteries requires a about 2.5 hours, with a alimetatore wall from 5.5V and output 1A. An interesting feature of the torch in addition to its wide range of light is the fact that you can use the flashlight using both CR123A or 18650, or in combination 18650 and two CR123 batteries. .You Can also charge one 18650 battery inside the flashlight although there are 2 CR123 batteries. (Power MIX)

• Klarus Batteries and charging plug : 2 Samsung icr cells 2600 mah PCB flat top are included in the package. I remember that only the version written BA owns the batteries. Are equipped with a USB cable about 80cm with the magnetic plug well made, it holds up well the weight of the whole torch, batteries included if left to “dangling”. We can then recharge by PC, mobile charger plug or a special power supply for the machine

• TAILCAP :
At first glance on the torch bottom there is a large “knob” round that may seem the power switch, but it is actually the battery compartment locking device. With it, you can attach the battery compartment very tightly and thanks to ’OR generous does not pass a drop of water. Equip yourself with rubber gloves because it is a little hard to unscrew.


See you on the “cap” the thread that screws into the torch body, glides smoothly and no friction. There are gold plated contacts for the negative pole of the battery, and two springs that allow you to pass a current thereby closing the circuit.
The two outer holes allow you teach us the tie provided and the screw allows the Tailstand.

• ACCESSORIES:
How Included are the usual OR robust and nice thick reserves, the noose Klarus comfortable and durable and holster cordurda done extremely well! a solidity that no other has ever given me. This holster will help us a lot in transportation saw substantial weight.

• Levels and Beam :

As we can see the levels are well spaced and allow you to have a range that can satisfy all tastes.
(Test performed with Samsung 3400mah cells, and not with those original Klarus)
TURBO 2400 ANSI lumens feels that the led and well driven by the driver that delivers about 3 / 3.1 Amp and the heat after about 15 minutes, stood at 40 ° C / 42 ° C runtime is true, the batteries on my model full load stop after 1.45h with a temperature of 48 ° c: twisted: (Environment 21 ° c)
HIGH 880 Ansi lumens useful for all public and runtime 3.50h uses about a real comfort!
MID da380 Ansi lumens to avoid disturbing the neighbors or tent. by the runtime of approximately 10h.
LOW 140 Ansi lumens light up one LED and will usbile for a quick look around without abbagliarsi, I reached 31.h against 30 indicated by Klarus;)
MOON LIGHT 5Lumen Ansi light up one LED to go around without disturbing anyone. 1000h of autonomy we are all, I believe in the given Klarus.
Strobe from 2400Ansi Lumen for 5 hours and SOS from 140Ansi lumens per 87h make rs 30 a very good ally for camping!


This flashlight produces a uniform beam and well feathered between commercials and spill, which remain visible up to 70m then become a ’total light flood and given the good amount of light emitted can go away 260m (manufacturer’s data) with a peak beam of 16klux / m, which in real life and daily use are more than enough to provide good lighting objects at about 130m / 150m.
The tint in my model does not present any kind of dominant, a nice pleasant coolwhite but not too cool.

• INTERFACE: A flashlight side we find two buttons, one black and the orange Grim. When you press the orange button, the torch will light MOONLIGHT mode, if you keep the orange button pressed, after a second light passes momentarily TURBO, and when you release the orange button, returns to MOONLIGHT mode.
You can accendendere the RS30 with both keys. To change the intensity we act with the “click” on the black button to increase light and on the orange button to decrease the light. . .the torch after turning it off will keep in memory the last mode used, but only if you turn on through the black button.
The special mode strobe and SOS are activated by clicking one of the buttons twice in rapid succession. The strobe mode can be changed to SOS through a quick “click” twice. The torch has a lock function to prevent accidental activation. You can lock the torch holding the black button down for approximately five seconds. The light flashes twice to indicate the block to remove it 3 “click” on the black button and it starts!

• Conclusion:

This rs30ba I liked very much in terms of quality, indeed as always by Klarus, aesthetic workmanship and materials of first quality, the accessories supplied allow you to have a flashlight ready to use. The type of charging can find many uses for both a professional for a regular torciaro One flaw is the interface a bit to get used to
Purely from a household flashlight to control the surroundings of their own homes or for camping because of the huge amount of light and beam.
I give a 8.5 out of 10
