Thread: The flashlight sticky

The 4C is amazing.

I run it in all the biking and car lights I build. Its so close to car headlights.

Do these new LED's that come stock without a dome solve our problem?

They still have the cool white light so not so good for hunting. In the testing we've done a de-domed XM-L2 U4 running at 4.5A has the same light intensity as a flat top XP-L running at 6A, but because of the warmer hue the XM-L2 has much better throw and usability.

Do Maxtoch still supply the 18650 batteries? I'm sorta lost in the thread and somewhere it said that no one will ship them from there anymore? Was looking at getting some spares.... Thanks :-)

I heard through the grapevine (if I remember correctly) that they can ship a pair in a torch. Other than that it needs to be a sea shipment as dangerous goods. This would need to be a big enough shipment to attract GST and fees to make it worthwhile.

Can someone reccomend a decent charger to buy? Looking for a decent one as the current one won't fit the longer 18650's and I plan to keep this for a few years so it's worth investing in a decent one.

Nitecore D4 Universal. Around 45 to 50 buck. Awesome charger.

I found the Nitecore struggles with the long Panasonics but the grey Trustfire one works well. Sing out if you want one to try @MassiveAttack, I bought a bulk bag of them when there was a deal on.

whens the new maxtoch ready for sale?

Not too sure. I've got some new boards to test in them today, after that I think they will be ready for ordering supplies.

Yep testing finally finished today and we're very happy with new lightweight Maxtoch 2X. It is an absolute ripper!

This new model 2X is not just about a maximum lux (output) reading. We thoroughly tested various board/led setups and rejected some setups with higher lux but lower runtimes, wrong hunter tints, high output but inability to retain that output more than 2-3 minutes before stepdown to a lower mode etc.

In this new Maxtoch model we have gone for a very high level of overall hunter functionality. It has light weight (just 308gms), ideal beam type (flood plus very tight centre spot), ideal tint for optimum picture clarity downrange, mode outputs set for different hunter tasks, runtime choices, extreme range (round 1.2 kilometers), scope mounting plus handheld function, all mode memory, design to use standard 25mm rings, production quality, sub $100US price etc.

Very happy with this light - maybe a month or perhaps two max before its available. The led and board will also slot straight into the present M24 Sniper and upgrade that to 300k lux - brilliant little hunter.
