So I have some efest purple and keeppower protected (that doesn’t make contact with my lumintop tool 2.0) 14500s
What should light should I get to make the most out of them? Ideally,I’m looking the most efficient light at the 300-500 lumen range. Constant current isn’t as popular as it used to be?
Some 14500 with good regulation… Skilhunt M150, Wuben E05. I’m sure there are others but these are the first two that come to mind. Granted, they come with their own batteries so if you’re looking for a home for your current batteries, that won’t really help you out any.
Sofirn SP10s. Super little light for $15 shipped from Sofirnlight.com. I have about five of the older versions and they are very well made- built like little “tanks” and we use them daily- never a problem. The SP10s also has a better led than my old models- the newer LD351d (in 5k). I’m grabbing one on my next Sofirn order.
My tool wont screw down all the way with the keeppower protected
FET drivers like the Lumintop GT Micro run in direct drive above a certain current, right? At that current, it’s regulated, and then below, it uses PWM?
Wuben has C5 on sale at amazon for $25 with a 40% of discount. So about $16 and has magnetic base and usb 14500 rechargeable battery. Just ordered one today!
I looked into the Wuben C5 and see it ALSO HAS RAMPING! With the coupon IN Amazon, it was an easy buy at $15 to Kansas (no tax to Kansas from honest sellers)
Heck… for a good looking light, 14500 battery (with the funky USB mini charge port built in), magnetic tail, and diffuser- that is a GOOD deal!
