Wow! Manny, that's very kind of you. Thank you! That's the spirit of CPF!

=============
Some news from 4Sevens front... "Limited-run WARMS"...
read here >> XP-G Warm White Pre-orders! w/ GREEN Packaging!
drool here >> Limited-Run WARMS
but order here >> [WTS]High quality flashlights!, 4Sevens authorized distributor

Aha! 4Sevens WARM WHITE (not neutral) now (might be) released. You can see my thread for more info hehe.

yeah, I can't wait either.

This is very kind of you Manny! Anyone interested? I don't think we'll see the XL100 in Msia so soon.


Ooo, XPG warms are finally here.



Btw, I did a general runtime test on the Fenix E10 by obeservation until the output dropped noticeably around 50% (Fenix E10 runtime on specs is 3.5 hours). Using an Imedion AA (2.1AH) which was fully charged and kept for a month. I played with the light for abit, and compared tints with my other lights The rebel LED's tint is beautiful! It's in the cool white category but leaned more to the yellow side! And it seemed as though it has a neutral tint! After playing, I let it on a continuous run:

1st hour: Body felt slightly warm, light output still good.
2nd hour: Body felt slightly warmer to the touch. Light output seems to maintain (although if it dropped by a few percentage, it's not noticeable)
3rd hour: Body temp seemed to maintained like the 2nd hour. At 45 mins, output noticeably dropped at estimated 50% and noticeably dimmer every minute. After 10 minutes, it seems to give somewhere around 2 - 5 lumens (compared with another light). And I switched the light off. Quickly took a reading on the battery @ 0.9v and climbing back up.

So, it's okay to say that you can get at least 3 solid hours from an LSD NiMH, like Imedions and possibly an Eneloop.

Oooo, the uniqueness of getting a warm white quark is very very tempting.
But 28% is a very large drop in output.
But i'm very sure the orders will be met easily.
The desires of Flashaholics are insatiable.

BUT i know one flashaholic who wouldn't get this...
Old newspaper!

I remember Fenix quoting their runtime using Ni-MH 2500mAh batteries. So looks like 3.5 hours is achievable...

Oh, would you guys rate the E10s output as OTF 55 lumens?
Are Fenix now going for reliable output statements?

OK Manny. Get one for me and PM me the total cost. tq

Will you do a 14500 run-time test too? =D
Put it in water then you can test it's waterproofness as well! =D
Lol.


We should poll money and buy him one unit! Ahahahahahaha!!

Yeah, from preliminary views I like the S1200

polkiuj, u mentioned that the E10 can be modded into a 2 mode light.
May i know how this works?
Change modes by soft touch? or tailcap loosen/tighten?

What are the prices like for surefires? M3T, M4?
Can find Tiablo A50 or not?

Add a resistor to the tailcap. Value you have to calculate or you can use trial & error.

Bridge the connection with a resistor so that when the switch is off, current will flow thru the resistor, getting you a low mode. When the switch is on, it will be driven in the normal "ON" mode. Loosen the tailcap to off the light. =)

It'll be sort of like my LD10, but simpler.





Pseudoblue: can check with you something (If you can test for me). When the battery is very low and you off the light, can it be turned on again?

Thanks!
Walter

wah.. my cup of tea.

strinq, beside using polkiuj method, by default... you can get 2 modes by...
1. Using Alkaline, NiMH -- 1.5V >> 50ish lumens
2. Using LiIon -- 3.7V >> 100ish lumens (just a guest, could very well be more, but at your own risks... )

I'm not sure.. but I guessed it at 50L when I first saw the light without knowing the specs (i'm a pro yeah) Anyway.. it is bright enuf. Somewhere dimmer than Quark on High mode (with 14500).


Haha, maybe. But I did do a quick, 5 min water test while it was on.


Ah I did not do that But so far lights that had output dropped when battery is low will allow me to switch off and on again (worked for TK20, RRT-0, Quark Mini, P20C2). Should work for this too.

Only my Zebralight H501w seems to lock it down. According to Rookiedad, a tail lockout and letting the battery rebound will allow you to switch it on again on low.
