    Nitecore TM15 and TM20

    If you've got $40 to dump what's to lose? Could be stolen merchandise............who knows just yet.

    Nitecore TM15 @ 2450 lm

    Is there a chance you had the light in lockout mode when you plugged it in? I've noticed with mine that the light has to be in standby mode to 'accept' the charger. Unscrewing the battery compartment would take the light out of lockout mode and enable the charging circuit to activate.

    "What sealed it for me, is that the TM15 performs ridiculously well on however many batteries you happen to have! :twothumbs I don't advise this, but on a single very good 18650, the TM15 will run 15+ minutes on Turbo, followed by an 90+ minutes of graceful stepping-down. :grin2:" Interesting...

    Interesting and good to hear. Both my boxes had no foam on the bottom, so perhaps I drew too sweeping a conclusion.

    Packaging, or more correctly stated 'packing' appears to me an obvious oversight on the part of many manufacturers. Let's take Nitecore as a prime example, although they are certainly not alone as I could easily list off half a dozen others, and there may be more. When I opened the box...

    Thank you for the info selfbuilt. Out of curiosity is there any risk of running Li-ion cells to a flat state....not that I plan on doing it, but as my LiPo cells (different beasts, I know) don't like going below 20% of rated capacity....I am just wondering where the safety line is for Li-ion...

    So far I haven't let them run down that low, but did you happen to check what the voltage was when the flashing started?

    I have a runtime question....at what voltage will the TM15 stop putting out useful light? I'm curious to know at what point I definitely need to charge the batteries.

    That's almost funny. Yup, the TM15 output and beam pattern is hard to beat........I love the result of the effort Nitecore put in to perfecting it.

    Well I guess that's it, a terminology issue. I think of Standby as 'off' and lockout as a button function 'Lockout.'

    I guess that means the switch is still 'functioning' even though the charging cord has been inserted. After using this light for a while now I am left wondering what the Standby mode is all about. While finding the UI generally very practical for field use, I'm unsure of when to use this mode...

    It's not much of an issue since you can run the T15 on 1-4 cells with full function as may be required. Granted, you don't want to find yourself relying on turbo mode with only one or two cells. FWIW Zebralight will shortly be delivering their light in this (3 cell) configuration, the SC6330...

    Zebralight S6330 and S6330b 2400 Lumen flashlights in the making. .

    If not for the tangible passion of us light addicts they would likely need to market in a more traditional (proven) manner. All I am saying is that if the light is going to be ready to ship within the next ten days then where are the pictures, as I'm certain they exist. A bit more than an...

    They've got a lot of pluck really, to ask for payment before you have even seen a picture of the finished product.

    The pictures will be up by December 20th, I bet that's what they really mean.
