    Will a 50 Watt solar panel have enough power?

    I hope you are using a charge controller. 50 watts of panel is too much without one!

    Test/Review of AW 17670 1600mAh (Black) 2016

    There are keepower protected 2000 mah 16670 that will blow away the AW 17670. I use them all the time in my quarks.

    High standby drain on Coolook PB-2000

    I have two of these, I guess you have to accept that they are inexpensive and you get what you pay for. I do wish it had an on/off switch though, occasionally I have to pull the battery out to reset it so the USB output will function. One of them terminates charging at 4.20V and the other at...

    FourSevens Maelstrom MMU-X3

    I bit the bullet and bought one, had to wait 2 weeks since it was on backorder! Sadly, it was defective, after running 2 minutes on high it drops down to what looks like low and then starts blinking and brightness goes all over the place. I tried 3 different batteries all the same issue. Called...

    Foursevens Maelstrom MMU-X3 (3*XM-L2, 1600lm) pictures, impressions

    Thanks for the review and beamshots! I was wondering what your impressions are of the thermal regulation, I have a maelstrom X-10 rated at 650 lumens that runs 1 hr 45 min with keeppower 4500 battery. Foursevens is claiming 2.5 hrs on high in the X-3, that must really step down the power to get...

    What size flashlight do you use most?

    I work on Aixtron reactors for a living, many cramped spots where there is no light. My Quark XML 123x2 regular with 17670 is always in my shirt pocket! The medium setting is great for tight quarters where you don't want to blind yourself. I use all the settings, so a tactical was not for me. I...

    FIRST 4sevens single-bay charge!! UH-OH!!

    I have never had either of mine act strangely like you describe. I have 3 AW17670, 2 redilast 18650, 2 callies 18650. I have seen the 17670's read 4.22V after removal from the charger, the 18650's are usually at or below 4.2V right after coming off. I have two Fluke 87V meters, they read...

    FIRST 4sevens single-bay charge!! UH-OH!!

    Yes, the charger seems to be tuned to quit at 4.24V, which is on the high end of acceptable specs. You are correct in that I will compensate by buying more cells.

    FIRST 4sevens single-bay charge!! UH-OH!!

    I have two V3 units, both of them peak out 4.24V when the battery is in it's final stage of charging. Some batteries come off at 4.22, others 4.18. I wonder since 4sevens flashlights use one large cell, they want maximum capacity available? I quit worrying and figure I might have to buy a few...

    TITANIUM MD-3000 DYING!

    I have had two Maha 808s fail on me. They worked great until they quit though, first one lasted 3 years. My second one will charge correctly if you only use 3 bays maximum. Check out amazon reviews on the 808. Disappointing!

    JetBeam Backup BC40 (XM-L) High-Output Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, and more!

    I did a runtime test with the Redilast 3100's on high with a fan blowing, 1 hr. 57 min. to shutdown. Too lazy to do one on low but I'm guessing maybe 15 hrs? Sweet! (using 4sevens V3 chargers)

    JetBeam Backup BC40 (XM-L) High-Output Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, and more!

    Just got my BC40. Running with Redilast 3100's, no fitment or operating issues. This puts out very useful light on low setting, can't wait to take it camping!
