    Acebeam E70 battery warning

    Hi E70 owners, Does the low voltage warning work for you? For mine, the flashlight does not step down, it just shuts off. Tested with two different devices. Voltage is about 2.9 V then. === EDIT: It seems that the battery warning (step down from high to mid/low) does only work when you start the...

    Anduril Ramp Config

    With some ramp config and the manual memorization of the current level (available in newer Andruril versions) I have found my absolute perfect UI: Short click: Turbo/Max (not only high) -> click and hold: ramp up / down Long click: Lowest -> click and hold: ramp up / down Especially the...

    Acebeam new thrower L17 now is ready

    Just received my L17, and it is really outstanding! In general, I do not like Acebeams because of the strange UI and switch combinations. Also with the L17: There is no way to memorize turbo. To access turbo, you need to double click an electronic reverse clicky tailcap switch. Then, step down...

    Andúril user's manual

    Great, will print it out to take with me. I really like the Andúril UI for its flexibility. With setting max ceiling = 100% and manual memorization, I have managed to set the UI to "Click once from OFF for turbo", and in contrast to other UIs, it does not step down time based, only temperature...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    I had already contacted Zebralight twice for a SC700 with XPH35 HI, but not received any reply. The SC700d is way too floody for me, the XPH35 HI with SC700 head would allow an even better throw than the SC600, still having a smooth beam and sufficient spill for an universal light. In addition...

    Acebeam new thrower flashlight T28 now is launching

    Hey Acebeam, If you could only get rid of this annoying time based auto decrease from Turbo to High... I'm having the T27, the T28 really sounds like a good improvement, but this auto decrease spoils everything. Implement a PID based temperature regulation, set the max temp to let's say 55°C...

    LEP VS LED

    With its 1.8 degrees, the W30 is clearly a long throwing flashlight and not a laser pointer, and it's perfect to illuminate distant objects. A chimney on a roof, a bird in a tree, a rope route in the montain, checking surface integrity on a grounded airplane at night... for use cases like...

    LEP VS LED

    Less than one year after this post we now have the Acebeam W30. Not 1.000+ lumen but only 500, on the intensity side we are getting more than your wish: 1.5 MCD instead of 1. Calculated throw 2.4 km... not pocketable but at least bagable (199.1mm x 61.0mm, 248 g). Weltool W3 and Acebeam W10...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    Zebraligt is using Pogo Pins because of the high current demand in the new models - several Pogo Pins have a lower resistance than a spring. The 700er Flashlights even have Beryllium Copper springs in the pins - better electrical conductivity. The fact that Pogo Pins require an exact length of...

    18650 Samsung 3000mAh INR18650-30Q

    Here's a comparison of the 30Q with the Sony VTC6 at 5 Ampere - and I have added the Panasonic NCR18650GA as reference as well: www.dampfakkus.de/akkuvergleich.php?akku1=586&akku2=645&akku3=609&a=5 This one definitely wins the VTC6. I've read that the x7 Marauder draws up to 7.2 A at Turbo S...

    ZebraLight told me i need a specific battery

    Here's a comparison chart of all 6 mentioned cells at 5A. http://www.dampfakkus.de/akkuvergleich.php?akku1=609&akku2=608&akku3=577&akku4=645&akku5=592&akku6=586&a=5 It shoes quite well the different characteristics of the cells. On 6 A the curves will be similar. Remember: Runtime of our...

    Are there any reviews of the Armytek Barracuda Pro v2 XHP35?

    I'm using one for quite a while now, here some experiences: - quite stable, no issues so far - combination of spill and hotspot, not an "extreme thrower" - I recommend warm white over cool white: Better color rendering, less reflections on water drops (rain, fog) - really bright on turbo2 (see...

    SC600w Mk IV Plus 18650 XHP50.2 Neutral White Flashlight

    Keep in mind that the XPH50.2 is lumen optimized, so you will get a much wider and less intense beam - it will throw much less far. XPH35 HI is throw optimized. If you're happy with the beam character of the MKIII HI, maybe it's worth to think about the SC600w Mk IV HI as an upgrade. Due to the...

    Barracuda. Search lights.

    Re: Barracuda single cell When using Barracuda or Predator pro with one cell and selecting max (turbo), you will not have this "constant brightness over the whole runtime". That's the only thing, and it's more a disleading part of the specs (mostly for predator) than a practical drawback. In...

    What's wrong with my 18650?

    I would switch to a current model. In case of Panasonic "high capacity" branch this would be the NCR18650GA. You can still buy NCR18650B cells, but no one knows how old they really are. There's no manufacturing date printed.
