Request to Tiablo A9 Owners

Hello,

could you please measure the tail current (holding amperemeter between battery and end of your A9) and tell me how high the current is?
WIth fresh loaded 18650 or 2 fresh cr123 (just tell me what u were using).

would be really nice if someone could measure that for me!

thanks in advance

greetings,
Annika

Welcome to CPF, Annika3

As the Tiablo A9 is a LED light, I'll move your request to the LED Flashlights section.

erm thx
Didn't see that there is a special forum for LED Flashlights - sorry.
Hmm I could swear i already had some posts as I ordered some 18650 from AW 2 years ago - wonder where they went to
Anyway - thx for moving this thread to its correct subforum!

You'll probably find them in CPFMarketPlace. If you ordered from AW, you'll find his threads in Dealers' Corner.

C'mon guys - anyone with a Tiablo A9 going to do this simple measurement for Annika3?

i broke my previous led on my a9.. bought replacement led emitter from dx q5
now measured.. 0.69-0.73 on freshly charged trustfire 18650 and around 1amp for 2x cr123a batteries.

previously before replacement i did not measure so i would like to know too

thx DMS1 & heng84!
But I really hope someone with a "geniune" LED can measure it - there should be many people out with a Tiablo A9, hopefully someone could measure this

Here is the new Tiablo A9 R5. I wonder how it behaves w/ aspheric lens. Perhaps Kengps would be interested to see this.http://www.kit-tronics.com/xcart/product.php?productid=4215&cat=0&page=1:naughty:

Not very good. I don't have one but XP-G doesn't throw well with aspheric lens because of wide beam and low intensity per square mm..

my A9 is a couple years old I later addded ASYMETRICAL lens.

IT THROWS!!!:devil:

This is what i got from my unmodified A9 with stock Q5 emitter

18650 TrustFire 2500mAh @4.14 Volts - .8 amps = 3.3 watts
16340 UltraFire 880mAh @4.16 Volts each - .63 amps = 5.25 watts
CR123 Titanium innovations @3.25 Volts each - .8 amps = 5.2 watts

hope this helps

Maybe but how come the Maelstorm throws a lot for an R5 torch? Only 1 way to find and that is to do it the CPFer way, hehe :tinfoil:.

Because it has deep smooth reflector designed for XP-G (not aspherical lens). XR-E with that reflector (dimensions) would throw better.

Noted, Phantom. It still makes me curious though.

Now I finally could measure mine too, this is what I get on my A9 with stock Q5 emitter:

18650 Trustfire 2400mAh @ 4.21V: 0,62 A = 2.61W
CR123 Panasonic @ 3.18V each: 0,91A = 5.78W

I wonder, why I get so low A with my 18650 (doesnt matter if I use Trustfires,Ultrafires or my AW cells - all have nearly same "fresh" Voltage) compared to the cr123 (yes I know the A9 is optimized for cr123 - but such a huge difference?
