GT FC40 vs 519A vs B35AM ???

What batteries do you use? I guess a samsung 50e would not have a high enough continuous discharge rating?

One good thing about the L6 is it has pretty decent battery capacity since you can choose the Shockli 26650 IMR 5500mAh or use tube extenders to put in 26800 batteries. Not sure how real world run-times would compare but I assume the L6 would win.

Edit: I guess vapcell has 26650 cells that are nominally 6200mah but with a ctd. I guess depending on the light those would be a superior choice for capacity

I have tested Samsung 40T against Wurkkos, Littokala, and Sofirn etc. in my FC40 lights and also the Wurkkos TS30S with monster LED SBT90.2.

In the Wurkkos light, Samsung 40T registers a shocking 15% gain for Turbo turn-on brightness, using ceiling bounce. I repeated the test multiple times because I couldn’t believe it, but 15% it was. Wurkkos TS30S + monster LED SBT90.2 = $60 4750lm 1km SUPER-Thrower. Comparison w/ TS30S Pro & other lights incl. the :-) insane 13000 lm Nightwatch Valkyrie.

In the GT-FC40 lights, Samsung 40T makes no brightness difference vs other less capable batteries. Assuming the spring or something else is not the limiting factor, my thought is that FC40 LED is not that current hungry enough for these batteries to make a difference. But this is just amateur level test; I have not measured the actual current draw.
