Can someone describe the bike strobe for me? As an avid cyclist I always enjoy another flashing mode.

Bike strobe is solid on with intermittent stutter flashes every second.

TFS_Jake · August 25, 2015, 2:28am

Thank you! I’ve never had a strobe that did that so it’ll be neat to see.

This light, like it’s brother, doesn’t work with the battery tube reversed. The grooved end for the clip MUST be at the tail cap.

I suggest this is the reason for the DOA. Please double check that the battery tube is in the right orientation.

Should work just fine.

The most power will be provided by a Samsung 30Q 18650.

DB_Custom · August 25, 2015, 2:45am

Maybe…… the 30Q, 35A, HE-4 or HE-2 are the most likely candidates for maximum output. Each light is somewhat independent, those 4 cells are all very close to each other at the top end.

The 30Q holds the edge by being able to be a top performer AND have higher capacity.

Fourth prize might cost more than the other three because some of us require more fabric for the shirt.

The bike flasher should be doing about 150 lumens with short pulses at about 1400 lumens. This aligns nicely with the two power channels, and is about as bright as I can go without making other people on the road angry. However, different people have very different preferences so it will be too bright for some and too dim for others. I know people who think 20 lumens is just fine, and have heard from others who insist on at least 2000. That’s bright enough to be illegal where I live.

If it’s the wrong level, you can also use the regular modes for biking. And perhaps on future lights it might be adjustable.

You could also re flash it to a level you like, the programmer and cable can be had for under $20, ToyKeepers code is available and easy to tweak.

Are you thinking of the girlfriend approved shirt??

I vote 100,000+ for that.

Can we get a small “girlfriend-approved” at the bottom of the back?

Sold out! - GBGB: BLF-348 - Classy and Small 1xAAA Stainless Steel light, with Nichia NVSW219B-V1 R9050 post #90 and 91

Any rough idea of the price of the shirt? Can’t believe I’m thinking of going for one!

Gunga · August 25, 2015, 5:20am

I’d buy a shirt. Rocks

realista · August 25, 2015, 6:16am

samsung INR18650 25r is this battery comparable or equal to samsung 30Q for performances at high?

finges · August 25, 2015, 6:31am

The 30Q is its successor. So the 30Q should be even a bit better.

Won’t those lights do the same, except with more throw?
