And the grip ring does not come off. Oh well.

Does it dent in the positive top of all cells or is it a cell you did something to?
I sure wouldn't want to have it denting all my rechargable cells in like that. 🙁

Is this question for me? If so:
The battery has been used in several other lights. Most likely, and old Arc LS (not the Arc6) did that. I just tested with a new battery, and also looking at how much extra play the spring in the negative contact provides, there should be no worries about battery crushing happening.
 
zs&tas,
Input voltage on the pill says 1.8-4.2V.

The parts look extremely modular, so maybe Nitecore is planning on releasing
different light engines and bodies?

Sgt. LED,
Without the ring, the light would look something like this..

Before anyone asks, that's a SF Z59, and no, it doesn't work 😛
The tail is just hanging on by the friction of the o-ring).
 
hope so, cant see why they limit themselfs, wouldnt take alot too produce a longer body and maybe take some more sales from other areas, although some companys are happy and producing enough money just specializing in one area and keeping a smaller more streamlined buisiness. Who Knows !
this is still on my list though 🙂
good pics
 
Has anyone managed to get the magnet ring off?
I cannot find any seam or crack indicating where or if this piece comes apart.

I thought removing the magnets would do the trick until I found they are not secured by some glue or hammered in. They move around slightly.

Gotta ask why you want to do that? Would finding someone to make an extension not work also, so you could leave the integrity of the light intact. Maybe down the road there will be a two cell verion, 18650 version, of the SR3. If this light takes off then that may happen. Maybe I am missing something here? I would appreciate being enlightened. As it is this light sounds very interesting, a sort more portable U2, which I alluded to in an earlier post.

How about boring out the existing CR123 size battery body for one of 18mm size RCR123's? There might be enough room length wise by cuting down the spring on tailcap . I know these cells are not protected, but so what, I use unprotected 18650 cells in my U2 with no problems (I do monitor).

My tailcap to my Eagletac T100C2 fits just not sure if it would keep the water out.
 
Thanks a lot for the pictures and thoughts, nekomane. I hadn't realized it had attachment points at each point on the grip ring before looking at your pictures.

If you're able, would you be able to take a quick beamshot of the SR3 on low vs. the U2 on low? 😗
 
Hi Bradlee,
So sorry but that U2's guts have been removed 😀

those are some nice pictures of the light, and i think i speak on behalf of several other CPFers when i say .... BEAMSHOTS!
 
Got mine two hours ago - its great, highest quality with nice deep op reflector. The smart ring works exellent. The stainles bezel is one of the best I´ve seen. No strobe by accident for sure.

Dont take me wrong, but it do´nt look and feel like chinese Massproduction, it´s very well done even in details.

Have waitet for a light like this (and I have had a lot)

+1 on essentially all points.

however, on my particular unit, the smart ring is too easy to rotate between just two of the settings (40lm and 60lm). on all of the others it feels just fine with the slightest hint of a "detent", so to speak.

this light will now replace my second SF U2 (with 1-cell 16340 battery tube) when i choose to EDC such. i prefer primaries to Li-ion (which the 1-cell U2 obviously req'd).

another great job NiteCore! all of the seven Nitecore lights i own are winners.
