Very nice info. I bought a few and all of them have variation. I had one that didn’t want to turn on unless the mid section was screwed on super tight. Guess thrunite had a rough time working with Titanium. I believe someone emailed the owner and they said as soon as stock runs out, not going to make them anymore. One of the best deals for a titanium light. The next one up is double or tripple the price! A must have to add to the collection.
Yah, this there are quite a few issues, but for titanium at this price we all forgive xD. One of them I had to return as the button was super springy and didn’t feel tactile firm. It was a horrible feel and I hope as ours wear down it doesn’t feel like that down the road.
have not tried, but I think it is held by the spring, should be easy to remove if not glued.
however, removing the magnet will let the spring collapse since it is normally supported by the magnet, so if you dont want magnetism, maybe best to kill the magnet but not remove it.
I have not tried, but have heard that people kill magnets with a soldering iron. Be careful, neodymium is toxic and can catch fire., So dont break it into pieces and swallow any, and dont use a flame to heat it.
I let the magnet heat up on my hotplate until it reached 200C. I left it at 200C for about 10 minutes.
The magnet is now very very weak. Guessing it lost 95% of its power. The tail of the light will not pick up an AA battery any more, the magnet is now too weak for the weight.
I put the weak magnet back in the light, it is needed to support the spring.
Mainly worried about my compustar remote starter and my cell phone. Heard it can mess with the internal compass inside phones. It’s probabaly just over caution, but if I can be without a magnet I’ll always go without one.
Didn’t need another one of these but with a Prime day deal of $25.97 plus a $10.00 credit I could only use on Prime day I picked one up for $17.38 after tax - too good to pass up.
After almost a year of daily carry, I can say that for me, the two most annoying things about this particular light are:
1) Inductor noise (high-pitched humming)on Low mode (I can definitely hear it, specially at night time when background noise is less)
2) From observation, all of my T10T v2 lights turn off completely upon reaching 3.0V (14500) or 1.1V (NiMH). I use mostly low and medium modes, and for both there is no step down that happens when battery voltage dips. The lights just die while I am working.
Still carrying one daily though, along with a backup light and cell.
someone suggested that the Sofirn SP10 Pro driver might be able to be used in a T10T… I think that would be great, gets rid of PWM, adds battery management… etc
