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


Attached thumbnail(s)

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

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

what are you going to use it for?

like... describe more on your needs?

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)

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

lsd LG cells yo...

those are goot stoof

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

mm
doesn't matter still cheap~

still out of stock

Just received my Convoy C8
Loving it

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

idk what to share other than candlepowerforums

my nightfire looks like a fake product but performs like real
good imitation i guess

my sanyos are actually laptop pulls. so they are kinda risky~
no pcb on them.

my nightfire DOES HAVE PCB
but it's just a fake pcb and it doesn't protect the cells at all. (ripped one open just to find out a circuit board with no components.)

oh well.

I'm still hoping to find a seller that sells Panasonic 3400mah for less than RM30
guess I'm just a cheapskate.
prolly gonna order my cells from fasttech.com

yes, only via registered hongkong post

2 months~ oh well~

too many missing planes lolol
don't wanna risk killing another due to batteries venting ahhhaa

but then again general consumer still thinks chinese batteries explode so....................................

how much are you willing to pay?

because those 3 brands out there mean nothing to me.
they're branding this with every copies out there (blame chinese)
cree is the LED used in their lights. but then again some claimed Cree led when they are using some cheapo 3w led



in the meantime I'm hunting for a 3D maglite clone for beating up strangers
Cheapest I found Rm39.90

yea. bigger lumens equals brighter light. but it's usually only on the led bead
reflector also plays a huge role on how much light you wanna shine.

I'd go with PD35 2014 if you can afford as warranty is easy to claim
but if you don't mind warranty I'd skip fenix and jump to these 2

There's also Thrunite TN12 and Nitecore P12 2015 of the same class.
I find thrunite the best for daily use due to it's color tint and the ultralow moonlight feature
nitecore being the most in modes and features as well as voltage indicator

fenix being the most professional in the class but lacks a few important stuffs like low low moonlight and tailstand capabilities.

my final vote is to buy thrunite tn12 for it being the best and cheapest. you get to spend your extra money somewhere like batteries and charger if you don't own any 18650

how's your nite glowring holding up? still glowing?

small google search will give immediate results

damn.
I doubt anyone will reply you.

I'll just wait for gadgetworld2u to supply the fenix

but others... you gotta depend fully on reviews.

unless you're in melaka then you can have a look at texantel shop to see how things work

ever considered Fenix PD40?

please don't tempt me
I'm saving up for Thrunite TN12

I stayed at budgetlightforum

loads of friendly people as well as loads of deals/giveaways for me to update myself

I'm considering something on gearbest too but recently people in blf is getting pissed with their service

No idea
Never tried
