Depends on what you mean by ‘bad’. It is DEFINITEY noticeable if you are white wall hunting. But it is a whole lot less noticeable in the field. In other words, it is (at least in my opinion) perfectly acceptable for an actual working flashlight. I would DEFINITELY still buy the light if I knew...
I got my SC700d last Saturday. In the last few days, I have been able to test the light on a hike. And overall, I am quite pleased with it. First and foremost, the tint is pretty much as others here have described it. The hotspot and spill are quite nice. But there IS a rather ugly yellowish...
That’s because the incandescent Solitaire only produced TWO lumens. In comparison, seven lumens would have been like the sun. Think (for instance) of how much more useful the Sofirn C01 is at around 7 lumens than the incandescent Solitaire.
I just sent them my SC600Fd III Plus for replacement of a cracked lens. This actually happened back in 2017. But the light somehow disappeared shortly afterwards. I found it again just a few weeks back, and sent it out on Wednesday.
No. Energizer L91 lithium batteries are lithium primaries producing around 1.7V - rather similar to ordinary AA batteries. 14500s are lithium ion batteries producing 3.2V (IFR) or 3.7V (ICR, IMR, INR, etc) nominal. If your light can safely run on higher voltage 14500s, your light will ALWAYS run...
Then again, can you get a bike light that is NOT low cri cool white? I don’t know about you. But I would NEVER willingly downgrade from something like the SC600Fc to cool white! And although I don’t know how the SC700d compares to the SC600Fc. But even if it’s nowhere as good, I’m SURE it’s...
One thing to keep in mind here is that, while three alkaline batteries in parallel have a lower internal resistance than an alkalkne D cell, the same advantage is NOT seen with NiMH. In other words, all other factors being equal, three parallel AA batteries will NOT have a lower internal...
Probably because the light is marketed for use with alkaline batteries. Using four alkaline batteries allows for the use of a buck converter, which helps to reduce the draw on current-challenged alkalines. The extra cell also helps with the voltage sag resulting from the use of saggy alkaline...
