    Some R123 li-ion comparison tests

    I whish I knew of a way to test for the reliability of the PCB's. But I think that the most one can do is rely on the reputation of the manufacturer and read reports of others that have experience with the batteries. I'm not a heavy user of flashlights, so I don't know how the different cells...

    Some R123 li-ion comparison tests

    Nope, I just took the measurements :) (and copy-pasted them into the startpost) I just meant to say thank you for reading/following the thread :) (I put a smiley after almost half my sentences)

    BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV)

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=195712 Added results for grey ultrafires to the charts. In short: they're not so good. Grey trustfires are a better choice.

    Some R123 li-ion comparison tests

    I added the grey Ultrafire 880mAh to the charts. These cells are about the same size as the trustfires, and too big for a fenix P3D. They also perform very poorly (as was expected from the different reports on the board). If you're looking for cheap chinese cells, the grey trustfires are a much...

    BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV)

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) You can't say that the RC-A3 should put out more light than the RC-G2, just because it has a higher grade led. It also depends on the driver and how much current it feeds to the led. The RC-A3 simply isn't a bright...

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7935 It's a P60 compatible light, so you can upgrade the drop-in when you feel like it. Someone has done some tests on it and on an 18650 it draws very little current (it's...

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) lightbug: are those CX1 drivers also available seperately? I just ordered some drivers from KD, but they just aren't quite what I'm looking for. On the other hand: the specs of that CX1 are just what I'm looking for. I...

    Got a TK10 now there is a TK11?

    Purely based on specs (we'll have to wait for someone to do the tests to confirm), I'd say there should be little difference in runtime at similar output. Although the specifications on the fenix-store.com website say something different (they list the 18650 model as having a longer runtime)...

    Got a TK10 now there is a TK11?

    2 primary CR123 and a rechargeable 18650 are pretty similar in total capacity. 2 primary CR123 have 2*3V*1400mAh=8400mWh 1 rechargeable 18650 has 3.7V*2400mAh=8800mWh So they're within 5% of each other, which is neglible in practice, in my opinion.

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) When I said that the light looks like my WF-602D, I didn't mean that that is a bad thing. I actually like the 602D :) I just need to find a decent driver for it.

    Re: Budget High-Performance LED DX/KD Flashlights Review Roundup (Part IV) oh, that looks very good! I wish that something similar would become available to purchase seperately. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the 16 mode driver that I'm currently using. It seems that it's been added...
