Hi
Got 3 of these on a whim from a friend visiting HK and am very impressed for the size / output. However looking through the forums I was unable to find a few answer to questions...
Power Source:
Very impressed with the CR2 output and form factor, so now I am starting to look for protected RCR2's I have having some difficulty in finding some that are protected and available in the UK. I would try and ship from the US however I read an article that demonstrated it was illegal to ship them by air. So anyone in the UK have a source for these cells?
Single AA conversion:
Testing this with a single AA, the output is still quite useable for my purposes (midnight lemonade runs to the fridge) and I would like to be able to get the barrel modified but have no machining tools available for the job. Is there an available barrel that will mate with the head or are there people around who can supply a shortened barrel? This would also lend itself very well to a single 14500 ( Believe this is AA equiv) lithium conversion.
Power Consumption:
Tested this and found these currents...
2*AA = 1500mAh (2000 mAh NiMh)
CR2 = 1500mAh (Panasonic Primary CR2)
1*AA = 500mAh (Half depleted Energizer)
Which were contrary to the results others had posted and was looking for some comment it. I have not taken apart the "pill" (think that is the correct term) to look at the driver board yet as I think this is not a regulated driver.
Great forum, lots of knowledge from what I have read, however I am still learning about my torch so until I get fully acquianted with the search and sections, you may see a post or 2 from me.
Thanks
