Nitenumen / Boruit G18

Does anyone know anything about this light?
E-switch, USB charging, $6.75 shipped.
Actually some wording suggests it has a powerbank function.

Oh this is new. Nope. Havent heard or seen this

For the price I’m tempted to order one just to see if it’s possible to use as a Narsil host. I’d gladly give up USB charging to get a good ramping e-switch driver.

OK, some info…

  1. It really appears to be a powerbank
  2. There’s a single comment on Aliexpress. Actually very useful.

  • anodized threads
  • nothing is glued or press-fit, you can disassemble the light
  • plastic reflector
  • UI is high-low-strobe
  • usb is integrated with the driver, so by replacing driver you practically give up charging.

BTW I wonder what kind of IC does it use and whether it would be a nice match for our drivers…

High chance of Lattice bright (see product pic). Host quality looks as cheap as Ultrafire. Just skip this junk.
