Turbo certainly seems to be full direct drive so it just depends on what your battery can provide. Its just calling out for a copper braid in the tail and a noctigon star!
Gearbest sent an XM-L. But they are advertising only XM-L.
Battery choice seems to be up to how many amps you would like on turbo. I read that Redilast 2900 are panasonic NCR18650 cells. HKJ test of Redilast 2900 Those should work as long as your not looking for high amps.
To push some higher amps I might get some Evva NCR18650PF 2900 or NCR18650BD 3200 from RMM. RMM lists that the protection trips at 7A, more than enough for me.
HKJ 18650 comparator. I believe the Keeppower 3200mAh is NCR18650BD (for comparing charts).
Very upsetting, the order I placed on 10/27 for the Lucky Sun D80 isn’t going to be shipping for an unknown amount of time. It seems DinoDirect ran out of them and are looking for a new suppier. The following is the email notification I just received.
We are sorry that your recent order is delayed. We understand your disappointment and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused to you. We experienced an unusually large number of orders of this product, which disrupted our normal delivery schedule. Recently the items are in extremely short supply, we are trying to switch to a new supplier. Once it is available, you order will be at the top of our delivery list.
Hi folks, As soon as DinoDirect showed they restocked the flashlight, mine was shipped within 2 hours of them having it in hand. So it actually shipped several days ago. Looks like I’ll have my Lucky Sun D80 in a few weeks.
Just received my Lucky Sun D80 today. Tracking didn’t show it was going to be delivered today, so I’m glad I was home to sign for it.
Cardboard display box and foam were perfect, and this Lucky-Sun D80 1x18650 flashlight is a true beauty from end to end. Color temp is a bit on the cool side, I’d say about 6000k. AR lens looks fantastic. The one thing I need to verify is it appears to have an XM-L T6 and not the XM-L2. The LED centering ring is blocking the star it’s mounted to, but I thought I can see a green star and not white. I’ll dismantle it later to verify this.
Anyway, on a Redilast 18650 3100mAh charged to 4.11v, I get 3.30 amps at the tail cap, and moon-mode is nice and low and very useful. Thanks DinoDirect.
NOt an XM-L2, but does 4.2 amps at the tail on a Sammy Pinkie ICR 18650 26FM. Not Black, but a deep Gun Metal. Nice AR, very small, smaller than a C8. Actually, weird, kind of a thrower, shock, hot spot is large, but very uniform. When out in kind of a foggy drizzle, and it cut through it like a knife, while maintaining a large/thrower hot spot. Is really small, but has some quality features,
