Thread: The flashlight sticky

Just a reminder to new 2X buyers - with 70 or so sold into NZ via aliexpress in first few weeks.

Don't use crap batteries in this torch - you will have very poor runtimes. Stick with the maxtoch/panasonic 3400 protected buttontops it is designed for. Maxtoch sells them.

Also remember to use the medium mode for best runtime. Yes it will run for 70-75 minutes on high with maxtoch/panasonics, but we've set the medium mode to be hugely powerful at 260k or so - ideal for spotting - and it will give you 100 minutes sustained runtime.

Cripes! I thought I read somewhere that it would last for 6 hours!! I guess I got that wrong. Thats why I didn't bother to get any extra batteries as I thought 6 hours was ample for what I needed.

100+ minutes continuous batt runtime usually equates to maybe 2 and a half hours shooting because of all the on/off time to drive/reload/chat/eat/brag/open gates etc.

If you pm gadgetman he may have some spare panasonic 3400s available at a good price.
