3.6/3.7V RCR123A only.
I was sent this PM from Steven - Horus (TW office) Marketing Dep.
"Some info let you know.
Maybe our AW battery (black label, got it almost two years ago) is older so that can't turn the light on.
FD-1.3 has low voltage (3.2V) protection pattern and perfect to those unprotected RCR123A, Battery Station's Protected RCR123A. So it doesn't work with primary CR123A.
We provide constant current output for optical circuit design. Maximum to 92%.
Standard current : 700mAh to protect the LED module working conditions well.
Note :
(1) This flashlight uses for the guarantee normal submarine illumination the switch for to the switch, the switch traveling schedule can slightly be bigger than the ordinary reversing switch, (the ordinary reversing switch shape existing agreement is 2~2.5mm, this to the switch traveling schedule is 3~3.5mm, thus causes in the switch process feel slightly to lose to the ordinary switch, but as a result of at present to the switch technical limit, the flashlight switch which this institute used already was smallest to the switch, moreover, in order to guarantee the flashlight the service life, this switch used is in the domestic various power plants the commonly used switch type, its product itself passed CE, CQC, Authentication, and in each power plant actual use, has better oral traditions.
(2) Horus launch handmade Knurling Series, pics in our thread.
Anyway, we find this problem, and work hard to solve this solution".
I was able to use an older AW Protected RCR123 blue color to work with the FD-1.3.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Five output modes, Medium-40%-170mins. Low-3%-27hrs. High-100%-45mins. Strobe , SOS. I don't think the FD-1.3 remembers the last setting. I could not gett he light to do so.
Circuit-Constant current output.
Protection, Reverse polarity protection built in and low voltage 3.2V, protection pattern.
Reflector Aluminum OP reflector.
Waterproof at least 40 meters all leaves the plant the flashlight to pass through the 1.14MPA hydraulic pressure test, guarantees you in the submarine 40 meter within use security. The FD1.3 edition may be called global first section relief flashlight as well as global smallest specialized diving flashlight, has organized member through international technical diving in Philippine diving base 100 meters submarine confirmations.
Customized Services. The first flashlight manufacturer that provides personalized artwork design service.
Warranty-10 years warranty for free repayment with lifelong guarantee. Except the LED and Lens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I had to "play" around with the battery to make the light work. I found out not to tighten the bezel assembly too tight to the battery tube.
The switch is a soft click. On the hard side to press.
The UI reminds me of the Jet Beam CLE except I can't get the light to remember it's last setting.
The light feels slightly heavy.
Finish is excellent. I asked Steven to send me a light shiny with no etchings because I feel most would want the light this way.
I ran the light for a few minutes while doing some lux readings and beam shots. I didn't feel the light get hot.
I could not get the light to work with AW's Protected RCR123's Black, the newer style batteries. I just got 4 AW's Protected RCR123's Black about 2 weeks ago.

I also took lux readings of the Horus Titanium FD-1.3. These are the lux readings I got. I am using a Meterman LM631 Light Meter measured at 1 meter. I waited 2 minutes before taking the readings. I am using AW's Protected RCR123 Rechargeable Batteries which were fully charged.
Horus Titanium FD-1.3, High - 1700 lux @ 1 meter
Horus Titanium FD-1.3, Medium - 940 lux @ 1 meter
Horus Titanium FD-1.3, Low - 90 lux @ 1 meter
Jet-II Q5 SMO RCR123 - 4070 lux @ 1 meter
Hyperion 1 RCR123 - 1240 lux @ 1 meter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought a good match up would be the Horus Titanium FD-1.3 vs the Hyperion. Both use 1 RCR123 and have OP Reflectors.

The next beam shot comparison is between the Horus Titanium FD-1.3 vs the Jet-II Q5. The Jet-II Q5 uses an SMO deeper Reflector which would be no match for the Horus Titanium FD-1.3 which uses a more shallower OP Reflector. The only two things in common is both use Cree Q5's and use one RCR123.
