M3X-UT Javelot Information

[Olightworld]

The M3XS-UT offers up to a full kilometer of beam distance and features a large diameter reflector with a dedomed CREE XP-L LED. The light has three brightness levels ranging from 3 to 1200 lumens plus a strobe mode. 3 x CR123A lithium batteries or 2 x 18650 lithium ion batteries with the included extension tube power the M3XS-UT. The M3XS-UT retains the tail cap switch design from the M3X for tactical operation with an added side switch on the head of the flashlight that allows easy mode switching. Milled from aircraft-grade aluminum with a Mil-Spec Type III hard-anodized finish, the M3XS-UT Javelot is ideal for search and rescue, law enforcement, industrial, outdoors, and emergency preparedness.

The M3XS-UT is AVAILABLE NOW!

Can't wait to see it! and compare it with his little brother, the M2X

 

[Ryp]

Awesome!

 

[EJAB]

So the M3XS-UT out throws ThruNite's TN32!?! When somebody gets their hands on one of these, can you PLEASE post some beam-shot comparisons of the two!

211mm with or without the extender tube? So in the first photo, that's running on CR123, and it will be LONGER when running 18650?

 

[Olightworld]

That is correct. I don't know the exact length of the extender tube but the 211mm is without it. 3 CR123A normally. 2 18650 can be used with the extender.

Very impressive Olight! ,,,,,,,,,,almost as impressive as my M2Xvn[XML2 U3] ~290Kcd AND XPG2 VERSION @ 385Kcd

 

[markr6]

That is correct. I don't know the exact length of the extender tube but the 211mm is without it. 3 CR123A normally. 2 18650 can be used with the extender.

Thanks. Will it run on 1x18650, and the extender is an option? Or must it be 2x18650?

 

[Capolini]

1.How long does this maintain 1000 lumens/250Kcd?

2.Step down to 720 lumens is in 5 minutes?

3. Are you able to [like my M2Xvn and M3X stock] CONTINUALLY return to MAX output without heat being an issue?

Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,I appreciate you sending me a FREE sample for my 55th Birthday tomorrow! :thumbsup:

 

[Olightworld]

Yes it will step down after 5 minutes. You can continually go back up to the 1200 lumens as long as the temperature sensor does not trigger the step down.

THANKS

 

[Olightworld]

No. It will only run on 3 x CR123A or 2 x 18650 with the extender.

I applaud your inclusion of the step down time and lumens.

Not enough makers do this.

:twothumbs


In the box Ad above, it says 3 CR123 or 4 CR123

In addition to the use of the 18650's....

Does that mean 3 or 4 CR123 (Or RCR123 or 16340)?

And, is the 3 cell load the standard, and if it has the extension for the two 18650, then FOUR of the smaller cells can fit instead, as an option?

And, confirm that 3.7 v cells are OK for the small cells? - Even for 4 of them?




Otherwise, its sounds like it can't run rechargeables w/o the extension tube, and those have to be 18650.

If that's the case, as the throw/lumens were measured with THREE CR123, is it less than rated if you use two 18650?

Or better?



- Thanks!

^^^^^ Your answer is right ABOVE you! lol! The same question markr6 asked in post #8

No, it says 3 CR123, or two 18650 with extender.

That doesn't say if rechargeables can be used (18350/16340, etc), or why FOUR CR123 are given as an option.

Note the FOUR CR123?


A different question, and, different answers.

I wanted to know the answer to my question...not his.

If you'd read the questions less superficially, you'd have seen that.

:nana:

^^^^^

No need to complicate things! He answers ALL your questions simply by saying THIS:

No. It will only run on 3 x CR123A or 2 x 18650 with the extender.

Then I'll give up without him explaining why HIS AD ABOVE lists FOUR CR123 as an option...

Or, if the smaller rechargeables will be over voltage, etc.

 

[markr6]

I feel stupid since this should be an easy thing to understand, but the wording in the ad was unclear to me. The 2x18650 "with extender" made it sound like maybe it could do 1x18650 without extender. But of course that wouldn't work since 3xCR123 length is more than 1x18650.

3xCR123 without extender

4xCR123 with extender
2x18650 with extender

3xCR123 without extender

4xCR123 with extender
2x18650 with extender

This is what I've assumed based on the dimensions as well...I just want to know if the

4 x 3.0 v = 12 v and the

4 x 3.7 v = 14.8 v or the

3 x 3.7 v = 11.1 v

....Scenarios mean that perhaps 3 RCR (~ 11 - 12 v) instead of the 4 CR (~ 12 v) SHOULD be OK....

And if a 4th RCR (~ 14.8 v) = would be too high a voltage...or not.

(It says "With Protection Board")

If that means it can buck it, it SHOULD be OK for example....

And that would mean 3 OR 4 rechargeables would be ok....but the ad doesn't say that....hence, the questions.

And


IF 18650 fit, that typically means TWO 18350 would fit too, so, that means the possibility of using 3 - 4 of the 18350 instead of the CR123's, etc.




The more cell options a light has, the more flexibility in emergencies, etc.

No. It will only run on 3 x CR123A or 2 x 18650 with the extender.

Perhaps you could just tell us what the max voltage is and we could decide which battery configurations to run. The post I have quoted and the ad copy in your opening post are creating some ambiguity.

Thanks!

PS
Is there a sleeve included for the 123 batteries? 16mm cells really rattle around in an 18mm bore! . . .Especially three of them, or is it four?
