A closer look :
Flashlight is slightly longer compared to classic 18650 lights (145mm) due to the space tail switch and e-switch takes :
Flashlight has a nice OP reflector and AR coated lens :
Tail switch (on/off function) :
It changes modes through the e-switch :
Clip (removable) :
Anodized , non-square threads :
Flashlight’s Parts :
You can see in order : 18650 battery for reference , flashlight head , battery tube and tailcap
Flashlight head , with brass button :
Tailcap :
Tailcap assembly coming soon …
Flashlight’s Holster :
Holster is designed for WL-S2 :
How it works (&modes) :
Flashlight uses the switch at the taicap for on/off function . E-switch navigates through modes , with a short press (Turbo - Hogh - Medium - Low - Moonlight Low) . Long press activates tactical Strobe (and another long press if you are in Strobe activates SOS) . Also flashlight has mode memory .
Moonlight mode is really low .
Battery indicator :
Flashlight has a very simple battery indicator , on the e-switch :
Measurements :
Samsung INR18650-30Q was used in all measurements
Lumens on highest setting (higher mode) : 958
Tailcap measurements (amp draw) :
- Moonlight - 0.040A
- Low - 0.15A
- Medium - 0.55A
- High - 1.51A
- Turbo - 2.95A
My test , with thermal data :
Highest Mode , first 30 minutes (actual runtime ~90 minutes) :
PWM :
Led in lower modes uses PWM , but the frequency is so high that it can’t be seen ( even by “sensitive” eyes ).
Intensity :
WL-S2 : 10.23kcd
Beamshots :
Wall @ 12m :
Turbo :
High :
Conclusion :
An interesting light , made from high quality components , but maybe not so powerful . It stays cool in all modes , even for long times , with the cost of not-so-high output .
Comment if you want me to check something on the flashlight , or tell your opinion . Thanks !
