This is the disadvantage of using protected cell, the light cut off without warning, luckily you are not in the side of the cliff or something, I don't know in the flashlight there are any termal protection circuit, I over seen one has this, but I forgot what model, I think it is a surefire. For battery, I am sure most if them don't have thermal protection circuit, it just protect via measuring the voltage, so it will cut above 4.20 to protect from overcharge, and cut below 2.7 to protect from overdischarge, and also if sudden drop in voltage it also cut to protect from short circuit (assume only), so you cannot use protected li-ion in high power Xenon.

And no worries, bro sniper69, your cell is safe, no damage due to the cut off protection at 2.7, but can you share with us what are the damage cost you? eg : worriness, jatuh dlm longkang etc. Just a real life sharing pls.

And no problem if you charge it in 1 channel, but if your cell is dead (way below 2V), then the charger will not start charging anymore, this is a protection function in all the charger.

Have a nice illuminated night, every day!!
haha, new way to greet ppl, not like "Sudah Makan" we greet by "Have you lite today?"

Added on October 5, 2009, 3:39 pmHi all, as for the "Our own flashlight" , I have these suggestion:
A) But a generic host, preferable 6P which allow us to take any P60 compatible drop-in from surefire, Lumensfactor, cheapo China Ultrafire, Wolf eyes etc. Then send the host to a do a lase engraving and have our own mark and logo, and even serial number.

But have to find good optic lens, so need an expert in the lens field to help find coated lens. There reset I think is easy. Oh then we could have many standard accessories to lego, like Xenon, Filter Lens, Diffuser since we use standard host, the 26mm P60.

or go more extreme
B) Order our own design, in any size we like, if can be 6p / P60 compatible is even better, so the benefit as above. But since we design the look and of the flashlight, we could have the most unique flashlight in the world, only among us will have them. Haha!

And we could also design the driver circuit, so the UI of the flashlight is on our taste. (This part might be harder).

I know someone involved in this besides his distribution business of flashlights, and he regularly goto China factory and have contact in these line. If we have enough number of order, maybe we could have the dream realised.

So we just want to fix which angle we going, A or B, and how many ppl want it, so we could negotiate the price etc.

We also need a design committee to do the design (Look and electronic), the business team etc for the purpose.

Let everyone comes out with idea, hope it will not remain a dream.

susuman

this is where most modder in CPF get their lens from

check it out

ok, thanks alot! Then we could start the option A already!

I actually like option B. But the driver circuit + heatsink and UI seems to be the difficult part. Susuman you mean you have contact that can design these, have it made and ship back to msia? If we can achieve this, we probably can select our own LED bin and tint?

I also dont mind settling for option A, the unique part will be something we agreed on and with the laser engraving + many lego option.

pseudoblue, I think with enough volume, they will allow us to choose the UI and tint. but if we choose the P60 drop in standard, then each of us can have any reflector, OP SMO, colour tint that you like. If got for fixed non-modular design like Fenix or 4sevens, then we just have to choose the optimum UI, like Mid\Low\high etc..

and have my friend to deal with the factory and engraving, also to machine the body\tube out.

Option A is good starter anyway. Just see how many ppl are interested.

If we put the 1Malaysia logo, maybe we could ask our government to sponsor? haha, any one have link to top rank politician?? they order say 1000 units, we design and get it to malaysia say 1100 units
the 100 units we sell to members here that like it! haha

Hehe, this thread is going in few directions.
Here, I present to you Dereelight Aspherical lens with MC-E pill shinning to a tree about 10 ~ 15 meters away. On the left is the Tiablo A9 with Collimator Head.

Get them from justin78.

As long it's still related to flashlights

Hey is that how the MCE looks like without reflector? or there's another reflector?

anybody willing to buy my black Novatac 120T modded with SSC P4 U2SVOH + UCL lens for RM450?

thanks for the beamshot bro !....how come i'd miss this earlier... the beam doesn't look good probably because of the assault crown installed....

can the SP-9 be use without the assault crown? would really appreciate if you could post some outdoor shot....before i decide to purchase one....can this throw well with good spill too?

Added on October 6, 2009, 9:25 ammesti bakar ...what a name....lol

no option c meh ? - build our own host and put the rest of the purchase internal component in it...

what size to start off with? i prefer edc , small but powerful...preferably with streamlined design, so the host can be easily done...just my opinion..

and btw, when we can have a yumcha session...so i can see and feel your xenon SP-9 in action!
