Maybe 4C, im just throwing a wild guess from your tint comparison. Days ago, I stumbled upon some CPF post about Q3-4C but forgot which.. /shrugs

btw, Damon, do you have a colour chart like this for Cool White?

It looks like Cool White from the picture

Nice, but the Xlamp Cool white pic cant load, cacat di

Added on November 15, 2009, 1:40 amIt doesn't looks pink. From the *100Plus photo comparison, it looks like my WC/WD tint from my TA21/Vantage

Your P100A2 is XPE? It has a bluish tint in the photo, but I think it's more white I guess. My P100C2 XPE-Q5 has a slight greenish tint.

Haha, I think susu may be right it's a Q3-5A, the more I look/stare at it alone, kinda remind of Polkiuj's NW Quark, hahaha...

Time to go to bed, nite nite...

It's still a risk running different capacities even tho both voltages are 1.25v. Internal materials varies because to increase capacity to 2700 than 2500. The light will still on yes, but you may end up damaging the batteries, then you'll notice powdery substance when removing the battery case.

In practice, I'll recharge a 1.5v NiMH when it reaches somewhere around 1.1v. More or less, it's a mark I generally give.

I've ran down 2 Imedions right down to 0.2 and 0.1 before in my Vantage. It was already around 1.220v (est. 75%), i left it on low and fell asleep, got up the next morning, it was flickering. Switch it off, and let the batteries rest and it went up to 0.9, 0.8. I put a mark on the batteries to indicate lifespan reduction.

About chargers, I'm using a Maha MH-C801-D, can charge 8 batts individually.

LoL, a dot system. I'll do the same

Eheh... no, dot is fine..

E2DL huh.. hrm ask your friend get a Jetbeam RRT-0 instead No wait the ET P100C2 is awesome too, two modes easy UI... or Quark Turbo 123^2! Something smaller like the Quark Mini 123, iTP A1?... eh wait, maybe the Fenix LD20 for two AA config, or a thrower SSCP7 M2C4, or the King of thrower, the Tiablo A10.. perhaps the ET T20C2 neutral white might interest him? Oh Oh.. that Nitecore D10 I was meddling was awesome too, great knurling and feel... it has pistons!... Not to mention if his keys are lonely, a Preon Ti will be a good companion. I can't remember if your friend wanted a headlamp?! The Zebralight H501W is full of goodness... Did I mention, the Tk40 is a tank? ahhhh.. anyway, the E2DL is fine

hehe, i thought abt the same thing before. But i realise LED flashlights setup are alot different than household LED lightings.

It's good that they can come out with an adaptor and diffuser to make our flashlight head a house lamp. But conversion from AC to DC is not cheap, moreover need to consider the power factor so won't end up in low efficiency or LED burning. Heat sinking is a big issue if you would run for very long hours as a household lamp. People like us with experience would know how to leave the light on in general mode, but only good for ambience, not for reading. Household lightings are generally meant to switch on and switch off, no maintenance until replacement. You'll have users to treat a flashlight like a flourescent lamp, a very expensive "flourescent" lamp. It's either they design a flashlight only or household lightning only.

In LED professional website, manufacturers like Philips, design LED household lights but look at how large their heatsink. The light need to perform under serious circumstances.

Energizer has come out with household LED lighting as well, but it has a DC adaptor to recharge the batteries, which is a better cheaper solution. Their product is quite innovative, the head lamp can switch with different host and become a table lamp, flashlight, lantern, wall lamp. But don't know about quality.


We have a local LED household lightning research company in Malaysia called Tim International. I saw their booth in One-U earlier this year. I sent him emails and kept in contact for a while and was willing to try out his household lightings. But so far no progress. I've also ask him about his flashlights which I saw on the booth, but he said they are not focussing on flashlights that time. Don't know what's the status of the company. Website still under construct.

Added on November 17, 2009, 11:24 am Interesting, would like to see a pic of the diode, you mean a resistor?

For some reason, I can't load DX anymore... looks like it just got blocked from here

True also, limit to 100L. But normally the driver is at the head, so mode changing is depended there. I have a funny thought, imagine doing this to your wall socket switch: Flip switch on for Low, switch on/off for Medium, on/off again for High.. bwahaha, but you can do the mode changing limit at the adaptor.

Would you buy something like that? A 3-plug socket adaptor which can screw in the LED flashlight head. The base can turn 360 deg to any position you like But the adaptor must be very reliable and efficient.

Hehe, thats why I thought it's impossible to get below an hour with 3x 18650 in parallel with a P7 LED.., Anyway, assuming 18650 is 2600mAH, then 3x will be 7800mAH. 3x 17670 is 4800mAh (1600mAH each).

alantch said the batts are wired in series, so the runtime differ from parallel, but you can just put a wild guess 40% less runtime

Added on November 17, 2009, 4:49 pm Wow! but SST-50/90s are high current draw LEDs, 2.5A and above? 7800mAH wud be required then. But LED lumens will finally touch above 1k if driven at full capacity

U sure u dont wanna consider josey's full offer? 399x3.4 = RM1356.6 The price of this M6 in Ace is about RM2.4k++

Time to sell of those lights you have, good condition ones, hehehee

Actual rate for today is 3.370. But paypal is higher like what susu said.

If budget is an issue, maybe you need to hold on first, HAHA.. So far, no one here has an M6 who's willing to sell/trade, even for alan... To get specifically what you want will need patience liao, just monitor the CPFmarketplace threads for a really rare offer, it may happen. You can also WTB at LYN street mart, an owner of M6 might not even be in The Bright Side. Just a suggestion though.

*PS: Btw, you can just set up a paypal account, and add one of your credit card. Pay thru Josey with his/her email add, the info she will give it to you. When u successfully paid the person, the local bank may call you up the next day or so to confirm the paypal credit transfer.
