Is there anything the size of the DQG with USB?

moderator007 · 2018-04-19T22:13:43.000Z

The bezel end of the Nitenumen is slightly larger than the DQG 4th so since I have already modded the DQG with a triple, I’m thinking The Nitenumen might benefit from the same triple mod. I used the BLF A6 board with a attiny85 transplant running NarsilM with a switch soldered on the A6 board.

My Lumintop rechargeable battery came today.
It works with DQG Tiny just fine.
Amazing light….

On my kitchen scale this combo weights 84 grams.
Emisar D4 shorty with Aspire 18350 is just 10 grams lighter, but has 1/3 battery capacity and lacks recharge ability. Though it’s a little brighter.

VrestoTaylor · 2018-07-12T18:34:31.000Z

any another ideas?

wle · 2018-07-12T20:05:15.000Z

vresto:

the Folomov looks interesting…sadly smooth reflector and xpl is not very good…too throwy…

i’ve got that folomov, it;s pretty good, the pattern is not too throwy at all
it reminds me of the dqg tiny 18650 IV pattern a lot

99mm, vs 87mm for the tiny

it does have usb charging , and can be a power bank too [though you have to use a proprietary cable for that]

I don’t like the UI much, but you might.
The light levels could be better for me, but you may not mind.
The light color is coolish white, which I don;t mind.
It does come with a battery, though it isn’t a high capacity one.
The switch looks ok, i was the guy that had 2 of the tinys fail.

VrestoTaylor · 2018-07-12T20:07:03.000Z

i would take it…but its still too expensive…

wle · 2018-07-13T23:08:01.000Z

yeah i think so too, maybe there will be sales.
the UI is really not good.
i reviewed it on amazon, tried to be polite.
but i like a small 18650 so much that i STILL use it in spite of the annoyingness of the UI, just because i broke (doing nothing but just EDCing) two dqg tinys, AND a manker u11 [also the button - another but different TERRIBLE design]

i LOVE the UI on the astrolux S1, but THE THING IS TOO BIG! to go in your pocket
it is cheap though
and you can get it small by using different body tube and 18350 cell, but i hate 18350s

who knows, maybe the folomov will break too

i really am not hard on them, in my opinion

My 2 cents. The OTR U18 is only slightly longer than these lights but it is a beauty for the price . I can’t stop praising it’s virtues. $21 on sale , good UI , decent cell , USB charging , nice fit and finish . Low isn’t real low but it can be memorized so single semi long click = low and double click to a fairly high turbo . 3 clicks to blinkies . LVP , maybe thermal regulation , not sure yet.

wle · 2018-07-14T01:21:29.000Z

OTR U18 - i can see why you like it…

still the levels are not very useful, the long presses are no better than the folomov (though it is half the price).

It has power bank capability, right?
is there a special cable for that?
(that is what the folomov has, plus you have to add a cable to go to mini or micro usb, it stops at female ‘big rectangular’ usb)

it looks ok - probably better for the price than the folomov (which is a pretty cold light and no led options available).

pennzy · 2018-07-14T01:56:22.000Z

I can’t find anything about power bank capability .

VrestoTaylor · 2018-07-16T15:22:25.000Z

sadly,i will sell OTR U18 after a few days i became an owner of it…not enough bright,cool white and main-its not working:) i see other reviews with the same problem:) and yes,it has another type of usb than our phones and other flashlights…so bad choice

AlexGT · 2018-07-16T15:54:37.000Z

I have been EDC-ing the Folomov EDC C4 for a while now, I like the size and the ability to use it as a powerbank, I ordered a 6 inch Mini usb to USB-C adaptor for my phone) my only gripe with it is that I wish it had Narsil UI, and the switch light would be on when the the light is off.

Sorry about yours . Mine has been working fine , has the warm tint, and standard USB charging. Newer ones are C type socket. Where are these bad reviews ? I’d like to read them.

VrestoTaylor · 2018-07-16T23:31:26.000Z

bg or gb reviews…i remember one there ans the same problem on youtube ?….not sure.

VrestoTaylor · 2019-01-16T15:19:56.000Z

any new recommendations?)

Agro · 2019-01-16T15:23:50.000Z

Yes. DQG with Folomov battery. Just as good as DQG but features a powerbank.

VrestoTaylor · 2019-01-16T15:24:58.000Z

aaaahhh…not enough bright for me anymore sadly:) love it,but…its too darkish:)

pennzy · 2019-01-16T15:28:46.000Z

Not 18650 but the Amutorch X9 is very bright and small with charging.
