yes, I usually get about 1.5-2 hours, with some occasional mode switching to 1st and 2nd mode, but probably 90% on high mode. On 1st mode, I get like 8 hours, and 2nd mode about 5-6 hours. This is not official, just basing it on how often and long I bike, versus how often I recharge the battery pack, while also calculating which mode I'm using.
Even my other bike light with remote I got here from newegg, a single 1200LM CREE XML XM-L T6 LED Bike Bicycle Light Headlight Headlamp last 9.5 hours on low, and 3.5 hours on high. And this is official! I timed it on high mode in my house, as well as low mode. And yes I was very impressed for that type of runtime!
I must be getting very good crappy batteries! Stay tuned for when I build my 16x18650 7.4V 2s8p battery pack though! That will be a monster!
nice idea. the only way I would trust this around water would be to get rid of the battery pack and hardwire it, and mount the light under an overhang so it wouldn’t get too wet. I never trust non brand-name lights for waterproofness until I see pictures, or test it myself. YMMV
Just did official testing, and from fully charged on HIGH mode, it ran for exactly 51 minutes before it cut out. No wonder when I use this and switch between 1st mode and 3rd (HIGH) mode while biking it last 1.5-2hours, 1st mode seems to be very efficient, vs 3rd mode which is a battery drainer!
One thing I will say is this battery pack is very watertight, especially that black round metal cylinder that the battery pack is housed in. Would easily survive a rainstorm. As for underwater, hehe, I doubt it, unless you seal everything with silicone.
I just filed a case with Epay as they gave me a fake tracking number and even admitted it in an email exchange.
It has been almost 1 month and I am sick of waiting and sick of excuses, this seller has hundreds of negatives, now I know why.
Thanks, hope some others have had better results than me.
Hey I ordered one at first, and it came quite quick from the seller. The other 2 I ordered have not came yet, and the seller had ended up refunding me my money a few days ago, and said they sent the flashlight, and that it might be taking a while to get to me because of the batteries. The ask me to just pay them if they did come in, and I said I would. But the first one I bought came quick, so not sure the other 2 I ordered are taking a long time. But in all honesty, it's only been 1 month, so I'm hoping it comes in the next few weeks, hopefully! I find that alot of items I get off ebay sometimes take 2-4 weeks, and occasionally sometimes they go 6-8 weeks every once in a while.
I understand shipping can get hung up, however the fake tracking makes me wonder if in fact, it ever left china. I have received 3 other orders from other vendors in china that were placed well after March 30th.
I really want the light for one of my Mini bikes, so I hope it does show up and I will gladly pay them if it comes after I receive a refund, just don’t want to wait till near the 45 days and forget about it.
Thanks,
Later,
