After playing with the wonderful Veleno Quantum DD (and ordering an extra), the concept of QTC intrigued me. Of course, after scouring the net for pills (QTC pills!) -- I found none to buy loose.
Fast forward a few weeks, I've now got a bag of 500
The first thing I noticed is just how small these things really are. A bag of 500 fits in a tiny ziplock bag. Next comes a realization of "where can I use this"?
While I've got lots of lights to try out in the next little while, there's a few that immediately jumped out.
Fenix E01 - doesn't work very dim
Fenix E05 - just on/off
Nitecore T5s - Works but doesn't screw down very far
LD01 - works well, but light starts on medium
McGizmo Sapphire 25 - great!
Then it dawned on me... the optimal host should either be a single mode or high-mode-first light.
With that in mind, I tried it in the Fenix P1. Bingo! Breathed new life into an old light
So, what have you tried it in that worked well -- besides obvious lights that come with it like Peak?
EDIT: What I also want to find out now is if QTC "low" is a false economy. That is, will there be any realized extended runtime from going low/sub-lumen.
