I saw a review that advised not to use less than 3400mah 16850s in the SC600W L2 MKII but there is nothing on the Zebralight website about this. I have a bunch of AW 3100mah sitting around that never get used and I though they would work fine. I also have a couple of the unprotected 3500mah...
I actually compared the SC600w MkII (NW) to the SC600 Mk III (cool white)... Massive difference. As impressively bright as it is, the cool white looks horrifying in comparison.
I've got the SC600, SC600W MkII and the SC600 MkIII. The MkIII is easy to identify because of it's size but I never considered that mixing up the other two might be an issue. I guess I can always add my own white mark.:D
Just realized what a dumb question it was...
Thanks! I never noticed that the W was only on the neutral white.
More importantly it was sort of a dumb question because, as soon as I got home and put it beside my SC 600 Mk III it was pretty obvious.:o
I ordered the neutral white version of of the SC600W II L2 but I don't see any designation on the box or on the light to indicate whether it is neutral or cool. How does one know if they got the right one?
Oops, sorry for the typo guys :o. I meant to say 4.0V but, more importantly, about 1/2 an hour after I wrote this the light on my Xtar VP2 did finally go green. I guess it just takes a while to reach that last fully charged level.
Anyway, thanks every one for taking the time to reply. :)
I have a Pila charger but recently got an Xtar VP2 for it's versatility. Whenever I charge my 18650s (on 1A) it takes it up to 2.0 V but the light stays red and shows it's still charging. Shouldn't the light go green and the charging stop when the battery is fully charged?
Re: I think I see the problem and it's a serious design flaw.
I haven't read over all the last few posts yet but.. even accepting that the light can't maintain 300 lumens for X amount of time there is still a HUGE design flaw. When the voltage drops (exacerbated by the need to use the absurdly...
I think I see the problem and it's a serious design flaw.
I don't need (or want) the 500 lumen burst mode (as far as I'm concerned 90 seconds at 500 lumens is useless and just for showing off to friends). I want the 90 minutes at 300 lumens that Olight advertises but... this can't be accessed...
No I'm not sure it's not the protection circuit but I don't see how that means anything. That's like telling my car doesn't work because of the engine. Read what I said... once the Olight batteries have about 10 minutes of use logged the NEXT time I try and turn the light on (completely cold) it...
I recently bought the Olight S1 Baton and, right out of the box, have been having nothing but problems with the light, the replacement that Olight sent me and the two Olight rechargeable 650mAh RCR123As that I bought with it. I've never had an Olight before and maybe these products are just...
