    Sunwayman D40A (XM-L2, 4xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO + more

    Mine is not the common PWM flicker. in fact It has a very subtle flicker as if when contact point or screw thread is dirty. I try to clean all contact point and screw thread and re-lube it and problem still persist. And when contacted the manufacturer, the engineer even assemble a new unit for...

    Sunwayman D40A (XM-L2, 4xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO + more

    I've a Quark 2AA Turbo, Quark AA Regular and Quark AA Tactical, and all of them flicker at low mode (the second mode), but it only happen when using 1.5v battery, 3V and 4.2v battery are ok. Contacted the manufacturer here in china directly and they tried all their Quark on hand and they all...

    *new* Lumintop SD10 - 1D cell light

    Re: *new* Lumintop SD10 Purely speculation, I think it would be around the same price as Sunwayman D40A or Nitecore EA4. Since this are the two main competitor.

    ---NEW--- Olight S15 Baton !

    I'm currently working in Beijing, China, so I ordered it from the Chinese online dealer here. It only cost about 36.50 USD with an extender, including shipping fee. The good thing about being in China is you can get lots of stuff a lot cheaper than any other places in the world, except those...

    ---NEW--- Olight S15 Baton !

    I've ordered one with the extender, hopefully the pill are not the same as the S10 and S20, as it is known to have a lower than average heat transfer capability.

    Lumintop ED15 (XM-L2, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Just finished my runtime test on med mode with fresh enelope. I only manage to get 7:30 hours before it drop to low mode at around 0.97v. It seems to differ from you 9:27 hours. But I can not be sure that the med mode on both our version are at the same lumens brightness since I don not have a...

    XTAR H1 Commander Headlight (1x 14500 or 1x AA) Review

    Not even one person comment on this review? Dang... thanks Spasmod for a great review! I really hope you can do some runtime test. Xtar flashlight aren't really famous for their driver design, and a lot of their previous model use PWM for low and med mode. I would like to see how they holding up...

    Lumintop ED15 (XM-L2, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    I can detect PWM on low & mid mode, and even the 3 mins step-down hi. But not the initial hi at the first 3 mins. The memory mode will take 5 sec to reset. When I turn off the light at mid, after 5 sec it will still come on mid. But if I turn on the light before 5 sec, it will advance to next...

    Lumintop ED15 (XM-L2, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    [/I]I‘ve did some runtime test and it seems that performance wise there are identical. I got almost the same runtime on high mode, and close to 90 hours of low mode until my enelope ran down to 0.89v. At this point the brightness still doesn't change, so I assume it will hit 100 hours but then...

    Lumintop ED15 (XM-L2, 1xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Just got a reply from Lumintop regarding the PWM. It appear that there are two version of ED15, one with mode memory and one without. The one with memory uses PWM, and vise versa. Its not common for manufacturer to produced a different version with and without memory mode. Its must be some kind...

    Sunwayman D40A (XM-L2, 4xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO + more

    Do you notice that every time you screw-on the head to the body with the battery carrier inside, you can hear the sound of the spring grinding with the positive end of the carrier. I think there is a slit possibility that the grinding actually make the spring go off-center and bend towards the...
