Well I put one in my Amazon cart. The wife has a few things she needs to shop for and add as well. As soon as she is done shopping it will be on the way. Guess I will find out if it’s as cool as it looks.
I agree with others here 100mm is a nice shorter length, plus it has a deep-carry clip.
But I need to know the CCT, and how the (H-M-L-Strobe) UI actually works.
But I’ll admit I haven’t had time to even start reading the reviews (nearly 100) EDIT: 96 reviews for the K18, only 1 review for this! I think it’s too new.
I’d love to try it but I need a source that is not Amazon.
Actually I do not see why some chinese sellers sell exclusively via Amazon, they throw away three quarters of the global market.
Gearbest has a few models, K18 I think almost 3 years, maybe we can get them to stock some of these too, maybe one of the aff linkers here can request it.
On and off: To turn on the flashlight, we must press the digital switch for half a second, and repeat the operation if we want to turn off the flashlight.
Changing modes: With the flashlight on, simply click on the digital switch to change modes, alternating between the three intensities in ascending order: L-> M-> H
Memory: The K18 features mode memory function. This is remembering the last mode we used prior to its shutdown, and turns on it on its next power up. The memory is maintained even if, when the flashlight is off, we remove the battery.
Strobe Mode: Like other small AAA flashlights, we have a hidden stroboscopic mode, which we can access if we make a quick double click with the flashlight on.
Lock-out: As I mentioned, the new K18 v2017 can be electronically locked to prevent accidental activation. Simply make a double click from the off to lock and unlock it. Of course, we can continue blocking the K18 v2017 by a slight unscrewing of his head.
Low voltage warning: When using a 10440 the new K18 v2017 will warn us when the battery voltage is too low, going to low mode and performing a triple blink every approximately 5 seconds.
^ thanks for the UI.
Hmm, if I read this well it seems there is no option to avoid memory and go directly to the lowest mode.
(I often want low without getting blinded first and with my memory it is best to avoid it)
Hmm . . . ran across this light in the KD thread. I’d be interested if it did NOT have memory (or simply a way to force it on in low level first) and had a NW option (or at least knew it was an easy emitter swap).
I like just 3 modes, length is critical to me (18650 lights are on the border of pocketable), and I can replace leds myself. So that makes the S20 more interesting to me than the SP32A. Critical as well is direct access to low mode from off, that still has to be confirmed.
