Am i the only one who have a high buzzing sound on LOW mode at my S15?
I just a received another S15, that I personally purchased from an online vendor. The output levels on Moon/Lo are much lower than my original sample, and pretty consistent with your estimates. Here's a direct comparison:
As you can see, there's little difference on Med/Hi. But it is interesting that Lower modes are that variable. I will update the main review with this table and additional commentary.
One thing I noticed is that your review states that your light (pre-release) came with an extender tube, but when I look at the olight site it does not mention one and Batteryjunction states that the extension tubes are NOT included.
I purchased a retail sample of the S15 from an online vendor (which stated the extender was included), and got the extender with the same packaging with the "gift" sticker.i am looking for the same info...
Both this post http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...nd-Beamshots&p=4270226&viewfull=1#post4270226 and the first one from this thread have a picture with Include: 1 x Extended Tube (Gift)
Does the tube still is included with the retail package ?
I ordered one online this week (the Netherlands) and it came with the "gift sticker" and 1 extention tube. This was also listed on the website. Seems like it's a temporary introduction bonus first batch only maybe, but a large batch at that.
I saw that a few Chinese sellers ship with 2 tubes but I didnt want the international shipment hassle that goes with it. Looking at the inefficiency for adding a 3rd AA in this thread, I'm glad I didnt.
A little update:
My impressions so far. It seems very unforgiving in the single AA mode. What I mean by that is that the light won't activate or respond at all when the batteries (NiMh 2400 Eneloops Sanyo XXX) seem to be getting low. This won't allow me to turn on a moonlight mode if I wanted to. With 2 AA in I dont seem to have that problem.
I also get the humming / buzzing sound on Low (not moonlight) when I use 2 batteries. I'd have to try with full batteries to double check if it's only when they're getting low.
Kinda contemplating now if I should keep this light or switch it and hope for a better sample. I like the format and the way it allows both one or two AA, but all in all there's a few downsides.
So my question is, can anyone else here turn the light on with partially drained batteries? Mind you I'm not expecting turbo, just a moonlight would suffice.
