rclxm9.gif Welcome to the Bright Side V4!!! rclxm9.gif

=================================================================
NOTICE:

We have created our very own forum, also called The Bright Side, hosted at Lumensreview. The new forum will host any future discussions and resources, and we hope it will grow and attract more Malaysian flashaholics too. I will not be updating this thread anymore and will be managing the new forum instead. However, it is not the end of the LYN Bright Side v4, there are still interactions and discussions among members.

Cheers,
Pseudoblue
=================================================================


Here's a reference link to the Bright Side V3, if you like to follow our discussions. smile.gif

The first 5 posts will contain general and selective information (links to internal and external sources), which is our collections, local dealers info/contact, reviews, gatherings, etc. I'll add and update information as required.

If you are new to LED and incandescent flashlights, here's a place where you can start learning about its technology and terminology = The Welcome Mat - a FAQ

Flashlights are considered one of the most useful portable lighting tool that sometimes people overlook. Speaking generally, can you remember how many times you've rely on the ambient light on your mobile phones when you're caught in a blackout, or needed to see something in the dark where light was absent, or just to see something covered in dark shadows, or even look for your keys and struggle to open a lock in the dark? It could be anything. A small high-powered LED light that runs on a single AAA battery can give you all the occasional illumination you need, anywhere. Besides other general use and at work, some of the stories I've read in disaster related situations, flashlights were one of the many depended tools that served its full potential, when rescue missions prevailed through the night and for days, just imagine the horror when night falls in a disaster affected area like these and with no electricity. Stories of how LEO, the military uses portable lightings at work and missions, which often can be a matter of life and death.

We, at the Bright Side are not only just users. We're enthusiasts, collectors and we are flashaholics! We just dig the lumens factor and its technological capabilities and advancements. Be it LED, incandescent or HID. We dig 'em! biggrin.gif

This is also the place to ask for your illumination needs for camping, blackout preparedness, work, play, adventure, hiking, emergencies, and collection brows.gif It is also the place to ask about its power source, primary and secondary battery rechargeables, i.e NiMH, Alkalines, Lithium, Lithium ION (LiMN, LiCo, LifePO4, LiPO), Sealed Lead-Acid, anything which relates. We have a base of different individuals with experience and knowledge that may be able to help you.

Flashlight Collection
It doesn't matter if you have just one or a hundred. If you have love for lumens, then you're a flashaholic! It doesn't matter if it's expensive or a cheapo, as long as it was there when you really needed a light!

*Links to all our members' collection will be posted here.

This guide, represents everything I wish I could respond with, whenever a question about lithium-ion tactical flashlights is asked. Obviously, there is a lot to say on the subject. I think I have pretty much said it all here. Guide Revised 1/1/08 to reduce redundancy, and improve quality of information based on what I have learned since originally writing.

unfortunately you can't get it here for now.....the only place to get this is from the US retailer e.g, http://www.lighthound.com/Maglite-XL-100-M...ght_p_3518.html . RCP for this is USD39.99 before discount biggrin.gif

woohoo! V4 !

hey.. let's take a quick look a the Olight M20's specs..
320 lumens for 4 hours? I assume that is not OTF.
Thus, 320 lumens requires ~ 0.9A, 3.016Watts.
assuming NO losses at all.. a 2.6Ah AW cell will be able to run that light for.. 3.19 hours. unsure.gif

(at higher drive currents, I believe the AW cell would be 2.4Ah, too!) hmm.gif

so.. to get 4 hours, it must be some sort of non-flat runtime!
Though, honestly, that may not be too bad of a thing, seeing as only a drop in ~40% is extremely noticeable.

4 hours? Like Tiablo, they will advertise runtime numbers that are hard to achieve. If the previous M20 model is any indication, this will be semi-regulated(?) using 18650 with diminishing output, that's one reason I'm still running primaries in mine. sweat.gif

I hope you will get one soon to publish the runtime and beamshots. Can't wait for it to test in bigchelis's "sphere of truth". biggrin.gif

There is another model M20S (M20 Warrior Special Operation), with side switch located at the tail-cap. According to the advertisement, the output...
- Low -- 5 Lumens -- 600 hours
- Mid -- 55 Lumens -- 22 hours
- High -- 320 lumens -- 4 hours
- Strobe -- 320 lumens -- 8 hours

Signing in! Good work Allan! Whoohoo!

Edit: Using this to keep track of my lights.



Current list (in possesion, stock/OTF lumens unless otherwise noted)
1. Fenix LD10 (XP-G R5, standard driver, optic from Osram Golden Dragon cabinet LED (with custom squiggles, resistored tailcap, 2 modes, direct drive Max, fully regulated low, Hidden SOS/strobe, est. >250L full batt, olive drab bezel/tail/body, black 'driver' area) [#001 - click for details & pics]
2. Eagletac T10LC2 with T10C2 body (solid but no 18650 support XR-E Q5) - up for sale RM 170 delivered
3. Lummi Wee (~40L neutral white XR-E Q3-5A)
4. Lummi Raw (~40L/200L XR-E R2)
5. Lumens Factory Seraph SP-9 with Surefire P91 (on 2 x IMR 18500, est. ~450L)
6. Quark Ti (flame anodized, blue/purple/brown/gold/bare XP-G R5)
7. Ultrafire WF-008 Recoil thrower (added aluminum foil for heat transfer)
8. ICON MODUS I (XP-G R5 direct drive with 0.5 ohm resistor ala Electrolumens DeCree XP-G, ~230 lumens) [#002 - click for details and pics]

On the way (or not made yet)
1. Electrolumens DeCree XP-G (custom driven for me)
2. QMiNi CR2 warm white (XP-G Q5-7A3/7B4)

Wished goodbye to
1. Inova T1 (sent for warranty but never made it back, miss u dearly)
2. Quark AA neutral white (XP-E Q3-5A, miss you dearly too)
3. Tank 007 M20 Magnetism (rebuilt, brown tail/orange body/gold head XR-E Q2-WC)
4. Inova T1 (bought from CPF, hope new owner loves it)
5. ICON MODUS I (in pristine condition, please love her lots! =D)


Yay! I've listed them all! Will update here so easy!



P.s. stock = boring =D

edit: Yes! I gave away my other MODUS! It's safe from being gutted for now. Down to 8 Allan and David!
