Vt2 by a notable amount but the ld50 throws a hotspot 4 times larger and still throws very well
Alex,
what led option did you get?
I've ordered mine with '5000k' + 'domes on'
Excellent write up/review Nick!
I'm glad you like your vinh light.
It makes me want one 🙂
I love my PD35vn. I've learned the beam on it is the most useful for everyday tasks.
Easily fits in my pocket and plenty bright enough to wow just about anyone.
😀:thumbsup::lolsign:IM using vtc5 and my high and turbo are almost identical is there something wrong with mine?I got the light a half hour ago.
The Step Down DOES work and come into play on mine. The manual says after 10 minutes on turbo. I know it was in between 10 and 20 minutes. Before resting it during first session[20 minutes on turbo] I pressed the button and it went back to turbo.
Mine did get too hot to hold tail standing with no fan after 10 minutes. Temp is 77F on my loft. I am now using a fan to complete run times with my PF'S,,,,,,,BD'S will be here tomorrow!
Look forward to using it tonight. Glad it has a holster! Definitely better than a belt clip!,,,,,both is even better!
Edit: After initial 20 minutes on turbo[10 w/out fan 10 with] I am now able to finish my testing without a fan.Likely due to battery depletion and output reduction.
After 45 minutes with ~ 38 on Turbo and 7 on High the resting voltage was 3.56V with NCR 18650PF[2900mAh]. 3200mAh 18650BD arrive tomorrow.
Basically this light is similar to the TK75 in terms of timed step down and low voltage step down. Once it can NOT maintain a level of power it drops to the next level. By the time I reached the 45 minute mark after a 14 minute increment, there was no timed step down. I believe at that point there was not enough battery power to maintain turbo. Basically High and Turbo were identical.
It is a nice torch. :thumbsup: Great to have 5 levels plus strobe for my 2X/week dirt road walk!
Almost identical is by design
Well I would post attachments against my xenon headlights but apparently I don't have enough posts to attach photos. 🙁
Vinh, you got me again....., I'll send a (larger) check with the M40A and the other light that are coming in, for this and the headlamp we discussed....I'll include a note with all the details on all the lights...
