My thoughts exactly when I saw that post. How ironic that they donāt believe the claims found on many of their current listings. Just shows they know theyāre false advertising.
Yeah, quite ironic considering the Chinese sell lights with partly ridiculously wrong specs and then they donāt want to believe us when we say the light can actually reach 2500 Lumens⦠(2500 is the more understated number weāre going for)
Just to make it clear, with 2500 lm to 3000 lm output the light will overheat in about 45 seconds or so, meaning that this will be only some sort of burst mode.
When you say āburst modeā, I hope you donāt mean to include a timed stepdown. Thereās a thermal sensor in the driver, isnāt there?
Of course, that may not change much in practice, but I much prefer lights that only reduce output in response to actual need rather than predicted need. Iām prone to doing stuff like this after all:
Told you about Narsil, but kind of missed your pic, We donāt know if the FW3A will be abl to be submersed in water, it must be able to be used in rain that yes
Thatās great to hear about the stepdowns and throttling. I probably could have, and should have looked up the Narsil documentation myself.
As to immersion, Iām not counting on it, but if the FW3A is rated for it, Iāll do the same test. My main goal wasnāt actually to test the Primeās waterproofing (though it did prove to be perfectly waterproof), but to cool it enough for a runtime graph without thermal stepdowns. My fan was insufficient.
I thought it would be ready within 1-2 months
Well, I can allocate my piggy bank account to another flashlight before this flashlight become available.
