Norland. I also filled up the slot holes so the trit is well protected.
Wow, there's already pretty cold outside. It was +1 °C / 33 °F...
Anyway, here's some beamshots of Olight S1 Baton:
Nice light but without low voltage protection and no voltage indicator its a no go. With a small capacity cell like this you need low voltage protection. Dont know why they dont used the low voltage indicator here
I wonder about current draw running on a CR123A primary.
With his Zebralight SC32w flashlight in H1 mode (the highest mode), CPF member recDNA measured current draw from his CR123A battery at 2.2-2.4 amps. Presumably, the Olight S1's turbo mode would be in the same ballpark. Unfortunately, that is significantly higher than most CR123A batteries are rated for. The maximum continuous discharge current for a typical CR123A battery is only 1.5 amps.
For this reason, recDNA decided to stop using the H1 mode. The lower modes work fine, with current demands below the 1.5 amp threshold.
Has anyone measured the current drawn from a fresh CR123A battery in turbo mode on the Olight S1? I would love to hear what you are getting.
sweet pics btw Mike81!
