Nice find I have several modern reproductions. Biggest problem is finding fuel that does not smell up the house. And do not light the lamp and then fall asleep! Once warmed up they run until the fuel is gone.
I bought the Goal Zero. Yes you can run, charge the light and use the usb output to charge a cell phone at the same time. My config [30 watt solar panel] -> [12v solar in - Yeti 150 - usb out] -> [usb in - Light House 250 (all lights work while charging) - usb out] -> [usb in - cell phone...
Well I know this is a bit off topic but there are Cree LEDs used as a head light. What I'm really curious about is the battery management that is built into the pack./ Pack: http://egopowerplus.com/collections/accessories/products/56v-lithium-ion-4-0-amp-hour-battery Manual...
Here is a long and interesting thread on "CRI of White LEDs". http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?273878-CRI-of-White-LEDs&highlight=high+cri Some where else I read that High CRI means, take % black body radiator at 3000K of the emitted spectrum. So a High CRI of 82 for 3000K...
Marconelly, OK I started on turbo mode and bumped back up to turbo three times for about 9 minutes. Suspect that if I started at 550lm it would have made 90min, I'll try that tomorrow. *** Update *** OK my results from HI 93 min's to Med step down missed the Med to Low step an additional 36...
Marconelly, Get some real eneloops and a charger to go with'em. I have D40A neutral and after an hour the light is still running on high mode it still will step into turbo mode with no low battery warning, it ran 70 minutes before switching off. Either you have a bad cell or the flashlight is...
Is any one planning a review? I find it interesting the light has almost no comments, no reviews, etc. Not just here on CPF but on internet search also. I have the T60CS and I really do not care for the push button that much. Checking the prices it's a bit steep just wondering it its worth...
Snareman, thank you for the video. I have to think about this one again. Try a flat medium gray back ground the white table top seems to be messing with your camera. =D~~ Kilted
I still have my old 'Digital U2 Ultra' it takes the 18650 very nicely and I've learned to re-appreciate the warmer tint doughnut hole and all. Truthfully the doughnut hole only shows up during white wall hunting never in actual use. And to many lumen s can be blinding. It has been replace by...
OK, with that load your 102A battery should have provided about 5 hours of run time. Sounds like bad battery, bad charger. Get a charger that remains permanently attached that means one that is 3-stage with automatic float. I use a BatteryMinder Model 12248 2/4/8 Amp with De-Sulfator. Go to...
I've done a few battery systems from a solar powered grid tied 24KWH/5KW house systems to camping systems. You said you killed a 102AMPH battery. OK lets see of that 102 amp hour you have a usable 50% that's 51amp x 12v = 612watt hours. Whats your load? You mentioned a TV but did not say...
Can you reference the old thread? I do not see using lithium rechargeable in this light I suspect the thread may have been refering to one of LEDLensers rechargeable M7R or P5R both use LiIon cells. As for the P7 you should be able to use Enelop AAA cells with out a problem. =D~~ KIlted
