Quote HistoryQuoted: @torque556 how long does the battery last at max brightness? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/193868/20201008_195904_jpg-1689078.JPG 13000 lumens is fun. @torque556 how long does the battery last at max brightness? It'll ramp down at 45 seconds I think, for thermal control. It can do that several times before locking out of turbo due to low voltage, but I'm not sure how many times. It lights up a 1 acre back yard like it's daytime, nearly a full 180* from the flashlight head.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I looked at the Noctigon, and was utterly confused by the instructions. Who wants such a complex flashlight? https://www.noctigon.com/image/catalog/KR4/anduril-ui.png Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I have flashlights that use many different batteries Aaa Aa Cr123 18650protecred 18650 unprotected 21700 And a few proprietary cells In my opinion the jump from 18650 to 21700 is an easy one to make for a handheld light On a rifle light it gets harder to justify as yes you do get extended run time, but you add weight were you least want it, near the muzzle. My favorite light is a noctigon kr1, yes it made in China and takes 2weeks to get to you, but damn if it isn't the best pocket thrower I've ever bought. 1500lumen and 99k candela In such a small form factor is amazing. It definitely isnt typical made In China junk. Machining wise it make surefire look like crap. And at $40 with a tritium vial on the button I just love it For me the 18650 size is ideal I looked at the Noctigon, and was utterly confused by the instructions. Who wants such a complex flashlight? https://www.noctigon.com/image/catalog/KR4/anduril-ui.png The top left box and battery check is all you need, just ignore the rest. |

Quoted: Anyone know what is going on? 21700 based lights will be slightly fatter in the handle and have a slightly longer handle than 18650 based lights, since they’re a tad fatter/longer. 21700s can have upwards of 40%-50% more capacity than their counterparts. Take your pick based on what’s important to you concerning flashlight usage. I’m doing a discharge test on my four Samsung 50E, which are labeled 5000mAh, but won’t do much more than a 10A load, but that’s fine for my Xtar power bank. I don’t own any 21700 based lights, as I’m more of an EDC guy and don’t need the extra runtime when out and about. Chris |

To be fair, I do keep the expanded manual up on my phone’s browser, lol. They are the sheer definition of a ‘pocket rocket.’ Chris |
