Fo those who are involved in the LUMAPOWER D-MINI VX ULTRA SST-50 GB by old newspaper, is there anyone who wants to let go your flashlight.    I absolutely love it and I am looking for another and I have the following lights to exchange with you.



1)TLS-T2( new) + nitecore EZ CR2 (new)
2) Surefire C2(new, unopened) + minimag (no box)
3) Surefire E2DL (used, no box)
4) Nitecore SR3 (new) + EZ CR2 (new)

You can choose any of the above, either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

Dang! Another light to check out.

I am also looking for another compact hi-powered light (above 500 lumens). What do you guys think between the Lumapower vs Thrunite Catapult? Both using SST-50.

Hi,
My favorite light - 2 year old Fenix TK10 (OP) showed signs of "burned" mark at the center of the LED. Now it has an ugly brownish donut hue. My normal usage is 10-15 mins max set at normal mode, never on high for over 5 mins. I've been very careful and used only Soshine RCR-123. I thought TK10 has a regulated circuit to prevent overheating.  Any one has experienced this before?
Can any sifus help me to repair/replace the Q5 LED or anywhere to get a replacement head????
Too sayang this light. TQ in advance!

1st it was my P3D, then Pseudoblue's TK40 (?), now its yours TK10 

Anyway, I don't know fenix has thermal sensor to cut over heating, I guess no. NovaTac has it, it I am correct.

PS : Soshine RCR123 is working at 3.6V , so it is 20% higher than the primary 3V; while LifePO4 is around 3.35V , about 10% higher.

So be careful on this, most of Fenix is design to use Primary only (sigh  )
Opening the Fenix head is very hard, use a hair dryer or coffee make warming pad to heat up the head, then use an antislip mat (those use in car) to open the head.

Search for my post in V1 or V2, I did explain how I end up a Warm LED in the P3D.

oohh.......... seem like everyone was infected with the 'zebralight's fever' lately   

damn, i was infected too

The D-Mini VX Ultra is smaller than the Thrunite Catapult, even with its 18650 tube and even more compact with its 123 tube. D-Mini does pack a punch in brightness for its size but good fo a short time, it has a wider beam and does not throw as well as the catapult. The catapult is brighter though.

GW2U will be bringing in Lumapower lights soon

GWEN! Where are you!! This is calling you!!

Hey moxie, this is not a battery problem. The TK10 can easily accept any li-ion. If 2 x 3.7V Li-ion's voltage is too high, the light will be insanely bright (for a while) then instant death.
5 mins on high should not even be close to an issue unless the light is already hot to begin with.
This is definitely a problem with the thermal transfer of the LED.
You can ask CEJ what to do about it or look for gadgetworld2U. Beg them to help you. Heh~
Don't forget my LD10. =D
Nice pics, heh~ Stop saying it's not nice xD
GWEN! Where are you!! This is calling you!!

In order to meet the versatile demands of different customers for outdoor lighting, Fenix has successfully developed the latest model - TK45, and it will be launched soon.

about those 47s... http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthrea...t=201419&page=7
too bad for everyone else.. 

pseudoblue, the one you have is which model ah? that 1 really good and so small!! is it H501? NW looks good or not???

OK, i'm abit wayy back on the 47's news than I used to... just found out the S1200 has a custom charger! .......catching up

  that could be a good thing... let's take it positively. 

s1800 is very close. we just completed a successful test production run of 100pcs.

g500's are very close as well. they're already in production. but we're not releasing anything until we have a ship date.

s1200 will take some time as we just added some more features. a custom charger is in the works as well.

Yes. VERY friendly. We have pending patent(s) on accomodating the 18650.

Hi, is it realy true, that the S1800 use 6 CR123 batteries, and 18650er are not supported?? Sorry, I read much about this SST90 4seven lights, but found not a clear answer.... )

s1800 takes 6xcr123a. If you need a rechargable 18650 solution which makes it bulkier, check out the olight sr90. The s18 does take 6xrcr123 but it doesn't run that long on max mode. 3x17670 doesn't work because it's a buck circuit inside - I haven't tried it yet though but theoretically it should DD the LED.

------------
Jens a 3x18650 will be considered in the future but no plans yet. 18650's will make the body thicker. Also, runtimes will be shorter. The primary light market is much bigger than the rechargables. We need to get out of the red before we start diversifying the line - Let's walk before we run.

Sorry I meant buck circuit. Yes in parallel, so fresh batteries are needed each time. We're getting packs wrapped in series so they can be easily reloaded by popping in three pairs

------------
"We HAVE achieved 2000 lumens with the s12 package with our prototypes"

Yeap, it's the H501w (neutral white), the neutral tint is awesome on this XRE LED It's a pure flood light, excellent at close range, works great in our last trail. It's also one of my overnight lamp The light is fully regulated and it seems to protect NiMH batts, it will blink or strobe to tell you the battery is low and then switches off. It won't turn on again, until you change or let the battery voltage rebound.
