First off, thanks for all the time and effort in the reviews here! You've made the nearly impossible task of moving from a c. 1980 Maglight into the 21st century merely daunting.
A couple questions related to the use of Li-Ion rechargables, if someone has time.
From what I gather from posts on this thread, the 18350 cells won't fit, but the "RCR123A" or 16340 ones will. When I look at AW's threads, the RCR123As have a 2C limit on discharge current, or 1.5 A for AW's "black" RCR123As. Is the current draw for the S10-L2 low enough that this isn't an issue? I was concerned as
http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Common18650BatterySelection UK.html suggests "a XM-L led will need 3A."
For those interested,
http://olightworld.com has PDFs of the instruction sheets for the S10-L2 and S2-L2 up that clearly describe the new mode-switch functionality, as well as the new soft-lock-out feature. From what I can gather from those sheets, apparently
neither of the models has a low-battery indicator in the -L2 incarnation.
For anyone that has tried both the S10 and the S10-L2, is there a significant difference between the two?
Again, thanks for all the great information!
