Newbie after advice...on next torch purchase..

Yes, those batteries are better.

Is the EagleTac D25C a good choice would you say ?

This is an interesting torch. Small and very powerful

Two hours is max 600mAh charge per battery. On high, DX says your light draws 1300mAh, so 600mA would be a max of 28 minutes . . if the battery has weakened or isn’t fresh charged, less time.

You seem to have a battery draw versus capacity problem - at the minimum. If your batteries are weak, that is a 2nd problem.

I bought TF flames from DX and they’ve been OK. I haven’t tested my 14500s to see what their real capacity is. But it won’t give you a lot more time at only 900mAh.

If any of the previously recommended lights fit your requirements they are all lights that are worth spending money on. There are numerous lights out there, but not many worth your money. I would choose a couple that were recommended, than ask the guys which they would prefer and why.

:wink:

Or even do a search on best 18650 or whatever battery type flashlight your looking for on this forum (above left corner) and it will show recent history of discussed lights that people have been happy with. There are honestly COUNTLESS awesome lights. Some pocketable, some huge. Some are better throwers others better flooders. The most popular selection would be 18650 due to its output and run time…….if thats what your looking for. MOST here are! Good luck and look forward to seeing what you come up with. :slight_smile:

So far i’ve bought all these… Still looking for one premium quality torch that everybody likes under £60 :wink:

Maybe something else I’ve bought but forgot about to add to the list, Should be enough stuff there to last awhile…
Hopefully a few of these products will be good.
:slight_smile:

Was there a reason you bought them from a Uk store instead of say dino direct ? the intellicharger was 20$ US ....not 35$

** Kriesler has offered to get lots of people a discount on Eagletac lights ..i would have contacted him before buying an eagletac

i'm still confused why you are so stuck on buying off ebay ??

I normally use eBay/Amazon to buy stuff…

A touch over your £60 but use the code CPF to bring it down to 75 and you have the quality light you want.

I think you need a new charger.

Rojos, he bought an intellicharge i4.

Yeah, BLF has been buggy for me the last few hours and I didn't see his post.

EDC 18650 XP-G2 R5 / XM-L U2 850/450lm Flashlight

Wow! You really have embodied the BLF spirit of buy 'em all. :D

but apparently he’s beginning to see the light. :cowboy_hat_face:

Do you think? He seems different, but does act the same. Or am I seeing this a reference to something it isn't?
