NITECORE INFILUX series

[astanapane]

yes you are right.

 

[DM51]

if i'm wrong please let me know

I have already let you know.

If you continue whining about this, it may well be considered that you are duplicating your complaints to such an extent that your posts contravene Rule 9.

i'm interesting of Nitecore Infilux. as i read from the post is not available yet. i will keep looking the post for news.

Will wait for reviews first... the SR3 was the last light I bought from them and I wont like to buy another faulty expensive light again.

 

[MR.A]

yes is what i have to do.

I think is going to take a long time to see this flashlight here. Nitecore might go until the end of the summer.

Good luck to the ones pre-ordered this flashlight.

LX1 i think is coming sooner, and once is released will take the lead of all the others.

 

[MR.A]

i read the post from the beggining. So i need to specify some things.

First of all Mr. Astanapane you have made two mistakes. First you pre-ordered something that noone gave you a guarantee of released date and second you tried to share your feeling with us.

Second to all the others that triyng to help in one or the other way, for those that really help is good for al of us. But here in CPF is better to protect the customers and not the companies.

I cannot afford to give so much money and wait so long time. So i havent order the flashlight.

Some people here might have a dozen of thusand dollars can afford to preorder flashlights and wait for thusand of years.

So do not compare and put people on the same level. There are a lot of levels of people. Some people can wait for ever because they never care if they give 1000 dollars for something....and others try to save 100 dollars in a year time to buy one good.

i dont want to say that Mr. astanapane is right but he might belong to the people cares of giving 100 dollars to nothing for so long time.

I will never do that pre-order thing.

So waiting for so long may cause a problem to your badget's family that you havent scheduled.

We do not have yet for those infilux seires any detailed specs.

Does this Nitecore Infilux can take RCR123? Does this rotating ring goes around freelly? The reflector is OP??? SMO??? the reflector hugs the LED or is designed for XR-E series???

And a lot of other questions that we do not know.

 

[richardcpf]

Why are the infilux series so expensive?? I know they hve the fancy ring controller but the SR3 is only at $120.

Looks like an extreme head combined with defender body.

 

[horizonseeker]

probably the infinite brightness adjustment vs. the SR3's pre-determined levels bumps up the pricing for the influx.

 

[Burgess]

perhaps Nitecore had to pay License Fee to SureFire ?


It uses the "Titan-style" Rotary Brightness Adjustment Collar ?

maybe but this is not an excuse of anything. 😗

The INFILUX uses a magnetic sensor - not the mechanical type selector used in the SF in the Titan. They developed this on their own and it has nothing to do with SF.

The cost of the INFILUX has nothing to do with the SR3/Defender etc, it's an entirely new light with a new interface, circuit, etc. It's also 2-3 times brighter than a Titan, has a strobe, will accept a wide range of power sources, etc...

The INFILUX products aren't your typical multilevel premium light - they have a sophisticated new UI that took a lot of expensive R&D. Nitecore is trying to make a game changing product - not another 'me too' light.

The UI is awesome. There's a 'stop' so you know where the switch is so you can preset an approximate output level before activating the light. The strobe can be avoided entirely or preset - it's on the other side of the stop.

 

[AardvarkSagus]

That sounds fantastic! Thanks for the update Matt. This one definitely does sound like a game changer.

 

[Mark Mck]

I look forward to impressions and reviews on this very interesting light.

 

[MR.A]

me too. waiting for reviews but after August.😀

 

[ss355]

Matt, any idea of the physical dimensions of each light? More specifically, I'm interested in the length between the 1x123 and the 2x123 formats. Ballpark is fine.

you are the only one from the dealers that giving us some really useful info. I might order when available from you.

Thank you very much, keep updating.

Infilux IFE1 - 1*CR123 - Prototype in hand is 95mm long, the head is ~25.5mm in diameter, I think it will be the same for all 3 versions.
Infilux IFE2 - 2*CR123/1*18650" - assume about 130mm long (95 + 35)
Infilux IFD2 - 2*AA - assume about 160mm long ((95-35) + 50 + 50)

++++:devil: i think i'm going to hit it.

Do you know when are you going to have it in stock? I'm seriously thinking of ordering one from you.

 

[Henk_Lu]

Now guess who's that moron who talked in this thread about waiting for reviews first and who ordered an IFE1 three days ago? :devil:

I seriously hope they learned from the strobe-bug of the SR-3 and got it right this time : Real hiding of the disco mode!

The rest sounds excellent like Matt describes it, if the dimming/raising of the output is real smooth and if the ring gives the right feedback, doesn't move to easy so that the chances are low the output changes unwillingly. Yeah, my expactations are high and I guess they can be for that price...

I like the look of the light, it looks serious, not fancy. It reminds me of the NEX of course, but that design was excellent. What I don't like for the NEX is that the light unscrews about in the middle and if you don't use it tightened, it risks to unscrew more or tighten and change the mode. The Infilux stays tightened I suppose (as the SR-3), that's the way I like my lights! :wave:

I don't suppose it will actually be the same head for all three versions?

(Yes, I'm still hoping for interchangeable body tubes...even more so if there is an 18650 version. :candle🙂
