LED Flashlights – General Info
41

I have one of those. The current draw is in IMR territory - it pulls quite a bit more than 2A.

I love it. I have a review on Jayki, but it appears to be inaccessible just now. It is not a hand burner even at full power till the cell dies.

I've not even thought of modding it though an XM-L with the stock driver might be interesting though it would be pushing things even for an IMR 16340. It is a bit green and a bi ringy but I love it the way it is.

42

No idea I'm affraid, but I imagine it should - it looks like it makes the light the 15mm or so longer that it needs and possibly has a smaller bore to hold the 18650 reducing it's rattle.

The AK-12 is soldout. It's also crap.

There is a couple of nice little light newly arrived at MF

I've seen that body before, but I think it was rather more expensive.

A very neat little light at just 73mmx13mm

47

That is the same body as the Ultrafire SA-R2 which is about the same price, the Star Light R3, and the Lumintop Worm which is quite a bit more expensive:

It makes me think they're all the same light, but the Lumintop has maybe a custom driver.

48

That sky ray is a nice looking light

49

I don't know what I was thiking, I was sure I'd seen that body at $40 or there abouts before. Looks to be a nice light anyway.

50

Well, I won't apologize for hijacking, as I believe that's testament to a good topic. Wink

E1320, it's really surprising for this light to be such a good thrower with its modest overall length and rather stocky head (compared to my Manta Ray C8, for instance).

Could you tell us the current draw on each mode? I like the hefty look of this flashlight and the absence of disco modes is tempting indeed!

Thanks!

51

Foy should be getting his soon too. We need a couple full-on reviews of this light, it looks like everyone's dream light except for the bezel.

Hey, speaking of Payday, you think they could put a deduction in my check for Paypal? Sort of a direct deposit?

Agedbriar here you go Ultrafire UF980L

I did not have any with a fresh charge.

Trustfire flame protected 18650s

4.140v High 3.585a Med 1.007a Low .172a

4.063v 3.352a .961a .165a

3.784v 2.376a .702a .123a

Unprotected Trustfire flame 18650

4.178v High 4.586a Med 1.216a Low .188a

I will not be using this battery in this light since I do not want to destroy it!

53

Wow!

The unprotected battery gain is also much more than what I would expect.

Very informative, thank you.
