    Noctigon Meteor M43

    ok so the standby current drain of my M43 measures at 21uA, which is pretty normal and negligible. is it possible that in only a few months the batteries have self-discharged to 0.2V? maybe being INR they have a much higher self discharge than a classic ICR.. I'm just guessing, since I can't...

    no, I'm 100% sure the light has stayed off since the last time I correctly turned it off and soft locked with the 6 clicks, about 3-4 months ago..

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    I just happened to pick up my Meteor M43 after 3-4 months on inactivity (soft locked with the 6 clicks but not locked out unscrewing the body from the head). The problem is, the light didn't turn on and measuring the cells (LG HG2 practically new) they are at 0.2V. They were left in the light...

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    I actually found a bit of grease on the contact point, good call ;) I didn't think it could compromise the contact but in such a high driven light it is reasonable that it could induce a significant voltage drop. I'll test the light tonight and see if it worked!

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    yes it's not a constant whine, it's rhythmic in phase with the strobe. I believe it's normal. However I had a (real?) problem last night with the M43, I was testing it a bit in different modes since I just got it and after a few minutes I lost turbo. For example in UI1 putting the light in high...

    Noctigon Meteor M43

    Is it extremely strange or is it just a lottery and some lights do so? I don't mind if it doesn't mean there's a bigger problem. Yes contact is correct. Also I just noticed both my SC62 and my TN12 2014 do the same so I guess it's normal.

    I noticed my M43 XP-G2 3D makes noise when in strobe mode, do yours sound too?

    M43vn - Best of 2015?

    XPL HI listed! I guess you don't have lumen readings yet, but how bright do they look compared to XPL dedomed? on BLF a user is getting 12k lumens from the M43 with no other modification than the XPL HI. also the same equipment measured the XP-G2 at 7600 lumens so the reading shouldn't be...

    M43vn - Best of 2015?

    :naughty: do you already have an idea of how soon, and how much will be the cost of the option?

    is Hank used not to answer for several days? I sent him an email and he answered me in 30 minutes, after that it's been 10 days without a sign from him

    TN36vn - Brightest Pop Can Light

    What is the difference in output between CW and NW for these MK-R, the usual 7% (average) as for XM-L2? I read the stock NW hits "only" 5500 lumens which makes it more than 15% less bright than CW, which, if true, is quite a lot. Can anybody confirm?

    Re: XHP50/70 Stock when would you suppose stock lights to come out with xhp70's?

    AW IMR 16340 to 1.95V

    Brilliant, thanks! However from now on I'll be careful to check the battery voltage in that light when I know it's been running for some time, to avoid going again under 2.5.

    AW IMR 16340 to 1.95V

    I used a AW IMR 16340 in my brand new eagletac d25c clicky xm-l2, since they added the 16340 support I supposed there was a low voltage control, but when the light died (it was throwing loads of light until just a couple of seconds before) I immediately took off the battery and it was 1.95v...
