    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    It looks like an Osram to me.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    I generated some interesting data. I tested the Surefire Mini DFT Turbo using my lux meter, and found that it was 100K lux or above at turn-on, and laser measured temp was 78*f. At 1 minute, the temperature measured 100*F and the LUX was unchanged. At 2 minutes, the head measured 100*F, and the...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    My surefire turbo mini arrived. It is advertised as 95k LUX with an 18350, and 55,000 with cr123. My first move was to test this. I measured 100k LUX at 1m with 18350 fully charged, and exactly 55,000 with a new cr123. My modlite plhv2 dual fuel measured 80,000 lux with a new molicel p28a, for...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    I have a Surefire M340 DF Turbo Pro on the way. I'll be happy to compare it to a PLH V2 Dual Fuel next week.

    if i lose power how many months will my 18650s stay charged to 80%

    It's dark 50% of the time plus or minus, so batteries matter here, too. My PVS14 is powered by batteries. My MAWL. My WML. It's all battery powered. Heck, even my NX8 has a battery, although it can work without one of course.

    Best 18350 battery...and caveats...

    As I understand it, the best 18350 unprotected cell on the market currently is the Keeppower. Is this correct? The usage is a fairly hot flashlight, 1500 lumen range. What bothers me is that I've read all 18350s are rewraps from China. Basically second rate stuff randomly marketed by 2nd party...

    if i lose power how many months will my 18650s stay charged to 80%

    Just this year I completed my 15 year study/test. TL/DR: 18650s will outlast the devices relevance that you have them in. I can literally think of nothing 15 years old that isnt, as an item, performing at the bottom 15% of the pack by now, that takes an 18650.

    "A" "B" and "C" grade cells?

    How do you know what you're getting? I bought these Sanyo NCR 18650GA from Orbtronic. Does this "B" mean they are "B" Grade cells? If so, who can I trust not to sell me junk cells without disclosing it first? If not, what does the "B" mean?

    Best 18650 battery (with criteria)

    I bought from Illumn, and Orbtronic. I did not use price as a matrix, but rather, reviews and site layout. If words were misspelled often and the layout looked "cheap", and reviews were lacking, I avoided it. I did notice the Sanyo batteries from Japan always reviewed and tested higher...
