We had a batch of I believe Luckysun flashlights that they made improvements suggested but the newer version had the battery tubes too short and even flattops were tight. So they tooled up some longer ones and they mis-matched.
Some lights had different shades on Head-Tube-Tailcap. Was a mess.
Can also remember in the late 1960’s and into 1970’s when Detroit started using those hideous bumper covers made out of some funky pliable rubber (GM called it Endura) and the paint did not adhere the same and faded way quicker than the metal. Basically was ignored by manufacturers too.
I don’t think anyone would be happy paying for lights that expensive with the new gaps. It doesn’t bother at 30 bucks, but certainly at mokune/timascus prices. I want to see bronze personally. There is not enough bronze and it gets a tacticool black patina.
Recently received my (full) Ti, and as much as i like it, i find the gap between the head and bezel quite disturbing, since its quite big.
Do more people experience this and does anyone have solved this?
on my All Ti TS10, the bezel was actually loose and started to unscrew while opening the light to charge the battery.
The gap got smaller when I made the bezel tight.
but the gap was still larger than on my Aluminium TS10…
one person has gone to the trouble of making the mcpcb thinner, in order to make the gap smaller… this is not an easy thing to do, but you can read about it here
btw, the Advanced Ceilings on the Ti TS10 is set to 150/150 by default… I change mine to level 100/150, which is about 400 lumens… I also raise the thermal ceiling to 55C…
My blue titanium has uniform color across its entire length. The body tube isn’t a different shade of blue like in yours. Also, my button does not stick at all.
It really looks like they don’t have the Ti oxidation process down well. I ended up with two of the blue Ti lights. One is pretty good, the on the second the head is a slightly darker color than the rest of the light.
It initially surprised me too. It is something fairly recent in Andruil.
I do like the aux instead of main LEDs being used!
Though I turned it off. I just use 3c to see battery voltage as needed.
