After a recent purge, I have been looking for a small lightweight headlamp that could also use a primary cell. Doesn’t work on CR123.
I decided on the Manker E03H II and ordered it from overseas. While waiting I read a post about Lumintop tool being on sale at Amazon.
While trying to put enough in my cart for free shipping I came across the Trustfire MC12. Short bit of research and I removed the Tool from cart and added the MC12. Well it showed up today.!
With friends. Beam shot on LOWEST. Olight S1 MC12 TK16
First impressions.
Size and weight— Super small and weighs less then 8lbs.
Outputs— 3-60-200-1000. Seam well spaced. Get warm on 200. Hot on 1000. 60 working great for modding and around the house stuff.
Beam— TIR Strong center spot with even flood to outer edges. I noticed rings when white walling.
UI— Press on / Press off. Click to cycle level. Not my favorite but knew what I was getting into.
Has a double click from off lockout that will blink 2wice if press when locked out. Should help if pocket carried. Tap while off
lights up tail cap. Green.Red.Red flash. Battery Level
Charging— Has magnetic charging, Manual clams 2A wow. Shouldn’t take long to warm up a 16340.
Tint— Neutral ish. I can live with it. But may look into Hi CRI swap.
EDIT-UPDATE
Just did a time lapse rundown from Hi. Then realized without some sort of timer in the frame it’s useless.
Charged from near dead to full in 55 minutes(4.15v). Don’t think that figures to be 2amps.
It doesn’t work on CR123 Primary cells. Quickly steps down and light on switch flashes red. (Heartbroken).
I have worn it for quit some time today. Honestly cant tell I have it on unless, its on :FACEPALM:
It has a fresnel lens thanks firelight2 Thanks everydaysurvivalgear for the link.
