Buy both and do a review comparison.
I did a test with my lux meter, PD35 lumen output is higher than most light rated higher than it. The only thing is because of the small head the heat kinda build up faster than most.

This is my own test of amp measurement on the PD35 2014 over the 5 modes.

officially accepted into the bright side forums

maybe I'll just migrate there


anyway, my other package arrived.
Glow Blue tailcaps and TIR reflector for my osram light

the glow blue actually glows green... kinda disappointing but they glow well

the reflector is too fat... also disappointing but easy mod with some sandpaper to fit

Been a long time nvm checking here .
Already moved to brightside forum created by craig

i had a feeling bright side forums also dead...

I'm just chilling in BLF most of the time though

is the fenix uc35 a good choice for my first "real" flashlight

what are you going to use it for?

like... describe more on your needs?

just daily use but not an EDC i have a cheap aaa as an EDC. i am planning to take this into the jungle also since this one can be charge using usb i can just use my power bank if needed i am attracted to this function actually. correct me if i am wrong, but is this the only flashlight that can be charge using usb on a regular 18650?

got a lot of olight and nitecore can charge via usb oso

like olight s10r/s15r or nitecore MH series

but with the size of a powerbank you're better off with more 18650's instead

fenix uc35 fits your needs
(failed to help lol)

haha true but i do not have a 18650 charger. oh oh i know about the olight but if i am not wrong those olight can only be used with their battery right? with the uc35 you can just throw any 18650 and it will work and also charge

olight recommends working with their own batts but they're just an ordinary panasonic 3400 cell wrapped with protection.

you can avoid it if you're afraid of battery danger but I don't see a problem as long as it is charging with the correct algorithm

single 18650 charger can be easily made by ripping off dead powerbanks just to use their charge circuit
I'd still recommend you to use proper charging from Xtar or Nitecore.

Charging in a flashlight tube brings me worries about heat and voltage issues where you can't monitor them

(but then again I'm not the right person to speak as I'm using some xxxFire 18650 risking my life because my good cells died)

stay safe and happy charging

yup i got think of that before also but i think i will use the internal charging only when i need it after all our cell phone has being doing it for so long already i don think there will be a very big issue with heat. hahaha you can get xiaomi powerbank and rip off their battery i heard that their 18650 are good quality ones

lsd LG cells yo...

those are goot stoof

36 bucks for 4 cell not bad.... hahaha

I tot RM36 for 2 cell? and 50 for 4?

mm
doesn't matter still cheap~

still out of stock

Hi guys,

Fenix TK15 user as my everyday carry together with my leatherman skeletool.

Thinking getting maglited ML300LX 3 cell, Any idea where can i get it and how much will it cost.

Thank God this thread is back alive.

Come come tell me more about batteries.

wanna know more about my batts?

I dumped all of my sanyo 18650 purple tops because my RM10 NightFire 18650 provides more amps and runtime and doesn't overheat when I charge them with 1A

my sanyos were all dead overheated when charging it with 1A

good cells are too expensive
