Spec me an LED Torch

[whitecrook]

I got a little olight torch recently. 1 click for on and then a second click for bright. After a few mins it was pretty warm is this normal for these little torches? Im looking for something to use for inspecting electronic equipment etc

If it's tiny then there isn't much mass for it to dissipate the heat coming from the led.

Something bigger you'll be able to run it on low and it'll be brighter than the tiny olight whilst running cooler.

Thanks that looks pretty decent for £40. Which is the better emitter the SST or the XHP?

Not sure if you missed this post or not, but I'm also interested in which is better.

The SST40 will throw further with a tighter beam profile whilst the XPH50.2 will output more lumens and give a wider beam profile.

There's a decent view of what I mean in this video starting at 2:30:

Thanks, I went for the XHP as I needed more flood.

Ok makes sense! Ill get something a bit bigger for this task

There is a version 2 of this light but hard to get hold of at the moment.

Take a look at the Astrolux EA01S code FIN8301 will bring it down to just under £40

Really nice piece of kit and arrived very quickly. Thank you for the recommendation.

Fast delivery!

You can also get a battery tube that holds a 26800 battery for longer run times:

Thats tempting! Have a load of 26650 cells though so will try to resist.

I have a total of 4 Nitecore Tubes . 1 x V1 , 2 x V2 and a Tube UV

Love them ! Bright enough and last long enough and rechargable too.

The code worked yesterday when i tried it, just tried this one and it works - BGFLA19

Where did you find that code at? I'm about to order a torch, but that code has expired now.

After looking online, I'm torn between buying these two batteries:

1. GOLISI S43 IMR26650 4300mAh 35A
2. Samsung 30T 21700 3000mAh 35A

Any suggestions?

I'd go with the higher capacity.

Which one do you need a code for and I'll look.

The battery, as that's nearly around £18 including P&P.

You can get 2 40T's for £17.99 delivered from ebay.

I was thinking of the 30Ts, as they have a higher discharge rate (35a) vs the 40Ts (30a). Data taken from Fogstar UK.

Longer runtime with the 40's tho and the diff between the discharge rate isn't that much.
