Vt2 by a notable amount but the ld50 throws a hotspot 4 times larger and still throws very well
Alex,
what led option did you get?
I've ordered mine with '5000k' + 'domes on'
Excellent write up/review Nick!
I'm glad you like your vinh light.
It makes me want one
I love my PD35vn. I've learned the beam on it is the most useful for everyday tasks.
Easily fits in my pocket and plenty bright enough to wow just about anyone.
IM using vtc5 and my high and turbo are almost identical is there something wrong with mine?I got the light a half hour ago.
The Step Down DOES work and come into play on mine. The manual says after 10 minutes on turbo. I know it was in between 10 and 20 minutes. Before resting it during first session[20 minutes on turbo] I pressed the button and it went back to turbo.
Mine did get too hot to hold tail standing with no fan after 10 minutes. Temp is 77F on my loft. I am now using a fan to complete run times with my PF'S,,,,,,,BD'S will be here tomorrow!
Look forward to using it tonight. Glad it has a holster! Definitely better than a belt clip!,,,,,both is even better!
Edit: After initial 20 minutes on turbo[10 w/out fan 10 with] I am now able to finish my testing without a fan.Likely due to battery depletion and output reduction.
After 45 minutes with ~ 38 on Turbo and 7 on High the resting voltage was 3.56V with NCR 18650PF[2900mAh]. 3200mAh 18650BD arrive tomorrow.
Basically this light is similar to the TK75 in terms of timed step down and low voltage step down. Once it can NOT maintain a level of power it drops to the next level. By the time I reached the 45 minute mark after a 14 minute increment, there was no timed step down. I believe at that point there was not enough battery power to maintain turbo. Basically High and Turbo were identical.
It is a nice torch. :thumbsup: Great to have 5 levels plus strobe for my 2X/week dirt road walk!
Almost identical is by design
Well I would post attachments against my xenon headlights but apparently I don't have enough posts to attach photos.
Vinh, you got me again....., I'll send a (larger) check with the M40A and the other light that are coming in, for this and the headlamp we discussed....I'll include a note with all the details on all the lights...
