The Olight M30 is my next flashlight, unless anyone can tell me a horror story about it.

I use the Fenix TK-11 at work and the TK30 at home for maximum "lum-age!" (630).

I gave my Surefire Strion and Stinger flashlights to my son and wife.

Can't say I've heard anything terrible about it, I've certainly never had an issue with it. Only thing some people find annoying is the "flickering" in the dimmest mode, but I can't even tell it's there. Something to do with the PWM.

Get some rechargeable 18500s and you're good to go. And the carrying case/stuff they give you is awesome. I use a diffuser a ton, and the extender tube for using 18650 batteries is a nice touch (though it's too big for my liking with that installed).

That's cool....I never use the dimmest mode on any of my flashlights.

Will the 18500 batteries charge in my 18650 charger or is it a different size/charge?
I can't find the length posted on any websites.

 

[jfindon]

Which charger do you have? The 18650s are longer than the 18500s so I'm not sure if yours will charge them both... I have this charger and it'll do both kinds:

Ultrafire wf-139 Lithium Ion battery charger 14500, 17500, 17670, 18500, 18650, 18670

No, I have this one (Tenergy TL-100):

One more charger for the overstuffed drawer, or since I have 3 extra 18650 batteries, I guess I could use the add-on, but I really would prefer the smaller version of the M30.

Thanks, BTW.

Got one incoming, should be here in a week or two.

 

[immtbiker]

2200 lumens?
6 hours at 700 lumens...that's impressive. Although, it does take 6 batteries to make that happen.

Pretty soon, we are going to able to touch the moon with a flashlight.

That's beautiful, Biker.

My Fenix LD10 in my little buddy. I've used it for everything from locating spilled sticks of 5mm lead on a dark tile floor, to something as unintended as calming a crying baby at night by waving the beam around on a back drop of pine trees. Babies will eat that up like a cat does a laser pointer.

If only they could get that much power out of 2-3 cells

I'll never own a flashlight as large at those.

someone go over to cpf please. search for 200 lumen e2dl. i have an old one and a new one. i cannot tell any difference! they are both darn stinking bright though. i guess they always were 200 lumens after all. sf says my old one is not but i beg to differ.

sorry i had to post again. sr90, must have! best place to get it? that is freaking off the chain! to think i was playing with a mere 200 lumens. i still do not know if that is brighter than the led headlights on my '10 s65. everyone "flashes" me thinking my hi's are on. then i flash back and they are probably like, dang!

still 2200 lumens in a package that small? oh yeah. that also seems to be a single die led!

edit: battery junction has it for $400. sold.

Actually, it's the same length as my Fenix TK30, which is approx ~ the same size as my 3D-cell Mag light, but half the thickness and weight, and the Maglight probably outputs 80 lumens, not 2200. so, even though it's 12 1/2 inches long, the Mag light is a baby pulling a steamroller in comparison. So it's not really that big compared to flashlights of yesteryear. So, are you looking for power and not a , it's not that big if you are looking for something to carry and not put in your pocket.

As Kevin once pointed out to me, as soon as we went away from the common incandescent, even Halogen, the sky's the limit (not the moon, but maybe some deep sky

), boldly going where no other flashlight has ever gone before.

 

[jfindon]

Will there ever be lights that bring in a size of the M30 or smaller? I can't even carry that thing comfortably.

EDIT: This is just ridiculous to me.

 

[music_man]

uh oh. i am going to see if i can cancel my order. i did not realize it is that big! big deal it is 2200 lumens, just carry a car with you lol.
