    #4 FOURSEVENS Quark Smart QSL !

    I didn't do the app update, so none of the notes were noticed. It probably needs to pop up with that message the first time you run the app after update, or when the flashlight connects but there is a version/firmware conflict.

    Using my woman's iPad since the Android app still isn't available..... The SOS button in the app now activates max mode, and beacon low activates strobe. WTF?

    I say make the Android apk available on your site. Screw waiting for them to approve it.

    Leatherman Serac S1, S2 and S3 runtimes

    As you can see, this S3 has a very low voltage LED. It's so low that it is in direct drive for about 16.5 minutes before the cell voltage dropped low enough that it could be regulated. The High mode test shows that it is being significantly overdriven by an RCR123 cell. For this reason, I can...

    Nitecore D10 and EX10 runtimes

    On the two "mid" graphs I think that the light is varying the pulse rate or pulse length when it is fed more voltage than the LED needs in order to lower the output to be closer to the regulated output it would otherwise have. Why it doesn't appear to do that on the highest or lowest level, I...

    Review - Leatherman Serac flashlight trio (S1, S2, S3)

    I'm here! :) I got the S1, S2 and S3 today. Whoever designed the clip on the S3 is a freaking genius! A few very quick preliminary measurements in my sphere have the S1 at roughly 6.6 lumens. The S2 is roughly 6.6 on low and 45 on high. The S3 is roughly 23 on low, 45 on medium and 110 on...

    Nitecore D10 and EX10 runtimes

    On the very lowest levels it will be difficult for you to tell. If you have a feeling that your cell is pretty low, maybe kick the light to a higher level, say around 5-10 lumens. At that level it should trip the protection circuit before the cell is overdischarged because of the higher...

    Inova X1, 3rd gen...

    I hate my Gen 3. It's dim, the beam sucks, the tint sucks, the switch sucks, the runtime sucks. I should have taken it back after I did the runtime tests.

    Nitecore D10 and EX10 runtimes

    I do very much like that the lowest level is around 1/2 of a lumen instead of 5 lumens. I've used the D10 as a night light with an old alkaline in it, and let me tell you, even 1/2 lumen is a lot of light in a dark room. It's almost too bright for me for night light use.

    Nitecore D10 and EX10 runtimes

    The globe is doing fine :laughing: Yeah, it took me a bloody long time to do these.

    Nitecore D10 and EX10 runtimes

    Ni-MH cells should not be discharged below 0.900 volts, or it will shorten the lives of the cells. The D10 does not seem to be capable of drawing them any lower than that. Li-Ion cells should not be discharged below 2.90 volts for the very same reason, but both the D10 and EX10 are very...
