Nightwatch NSX4 13,000lm single cell light.

Hey thanks I ordered 2 of those cells. I’m interested in the thermal characteristics with the NSX’s… I love the FW21 Pro and I have the Imalent MS03 but those bad boys get hot fast on turbo!

Hi I just got the 26800 cells and realized that they don’t fit in my Gyrfalcon charger or any of my other ones. Too long. Haha

What’re you guys using to charge these puppies?

Small N52 Neodymium magnets and wire with alligator clips is what I do and just connect it to my Miboxer charger, works great :smiley: I use 12 gauge wire to be on the safe side.

I ordered the NSX4 with the 26800 battery and charger so that one. In my research leading up to the NSX4 purchase, I had already found the Queen Batteries at Aloft, but I was waiting for this charger to arrive or I’d have have nothing too. My closest charger was literally 1mm from fitting the 26800’s. The NSX4 provided charger seems fine enough tho.

Man I’m a doofus, just checked my order from Nealsgadgets and I ordered the 26800 with charger too. Haha

I use the Olight Universal Battery Charger.

FUUUUUUREAKING GENIUS, I LOVE IT!!!

Looks like you were good all along.

Just did a quick completely unscientific test w/ ceiling bounce of NSX4E xhp50 version. I get highest readings from the included QB26800, TINY bit lower with aloft hobbies 26800. Maybe 5% lower from Samsung 40T, so I must need better measurement equipment/technique.

The tint is a little cool for my taste (I like 5k, but not warm), but not annoyingly so.

I absolutely LOVE the host. Fins and knurling - my favorite features.

If anything, the knurling could be sharper or larger, but no one else would like that much grip, probably just me. For most people the knurling will feel very refined. It’s everywhere, even the fins.

I have NSX4 and without too many words it is a little bomb, it needs a lot of energy so I use a Molicel P42A that easily pushes the 45A, of course I also always carry a spare one because the hunger for energy of this flashlight is great. Perhaps its less positive side is the launch but as you know XHP50.2 is certainly not a led born for launch.

I’m not familiar w/ launch. Are you referring to the LED warming up and output increasing? Because it feels like my eye notices that. I would expect it starts highest and declines.

Excuse me for the lack of clarity I am referring to the range to how far the beam of light produced can reach you, as the reflectors are too small and shallow even if the LED produces a lot of light this all comes out very close to you failing to illuminate further the 300 meters, as a comparison the Astrolux FT02S or Mateminco TK04 (they are the same torch) produces the same lumens or something more 13500 to be exact but has a launch that reaches 600 meters.

Right, I find the throw on high is suitable to 100 meters, at least. So much light everywhere inside there if you’re trying to find something. This will probably be my hip light camping on land, among dozens of candidates. A bit warmer and higher CRI is useful for detailed tasks, but in an emergency I think I’d like this one. Most places I go, off the water, I can’t see more than 20 to 100 yards. I’ll probably beat it up a little first, make sure it doesn’t quit when dropped.

Ya I have the 3 and the 4 and love them both. The 4 puts out a ton of light and it’s built like a tank. No worries about dropping it (:
