  • like the idea of being able to use it as a powerbank. wonder how heavy it is?

    That's a no from me. Get one of the Chinese branded 18650 based flashlights instead. (e.g. something by Wurkkos or Sofirn.)

    1500 version review

  • Interesting product. Well reviewed on Target US.

    It looks to have micro-usb and a full sized charging port based on reviews/pictures. The power bank feature is kind of nifty, but doesn't make up for the outdated connectors. I would agree with dust - i'd prefer something from Sofirn.

    Here's a spec sheet - https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Energizer%20Batt…

    'Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery
    (26650) –non removable battery'

    Ridiculous that these are made to be a throw away product.

    I'm sure there's a way to get to the cells though, and in theory, some 18650s with padding could be used, or maybe even 21700s depending on the construction

    And bio mention of the cell capacity that I can find .

      Probably avoiding all sorts of trading restrictions in Aus by making them a single device.

      Think of the children. :P

        I'd hope that a child couldn't accidentally swallow a 26650.

          I think the issue more is shorting them intentionally or unintentionally. The things can get very hot very quick. Catch fire, explode, all sorts of nasty business. They don't have the same safety profile as AA and AAA batteries.

      Ridiculous that these are made to be a throw away product.

      It's made by a battery company, their entire business model is based around making throw-away products.

      Even when battery companies do rechargeable batteries, they usually supply "dumb" chargers, so the batteries again become throw-away products, just slower than alkaline batteries.

      Having a product that lasts forever is their antithesis.

    • Energizer even says: "Designed To Last 20 Years" right before stating it's a non-removable battery. Blunt lies are still a common marketing tactic it seems.

      We should boycott Bunnings anyway due to the face-scanning of customers in store. No different to finger-printing everyone at the entrance. Worse, since your face data is processed in a virtual line-up. Everyone is a shoplifter suspect at Bunnings.

        creepy af practice, i agree but i wear my face mask and sunnies in there - and in heaps of other shops too - so good luck to their face scanner

  • So Wurkkos or Sofirn is way better in quality then?

    • +3

      Probably yes. They are very will made.

    I just went and picked up two for a camping trip on the weekend - for the kids.

    They are large enough to not be easily lost.

    They weigh 380 grams.

    I really miss the days of a torch that just has on on/off button. This requires up to 3 presses to turn off while cycling through the modes.

    It's bright enough. But nothing like my Thorfire C8S which is supposedly 100 lumens less…

    For those that have a Power Pass that discount will apply too.

    • thanks for the review. think i might grab one as well. really just want a hunk of metal in the car. used to be able to get those old incandescent maglites for around $39 as well but prices for those are through the roof on amazon, which is what i'm planning a replacement for.

      • Get a Wuben C3, I have one for this exact purpose and it's excellent! Miles better than the old Maglights, it's not even a comparison.

        • not the same size though.

          will mention i already have a nitecore ea41 in my car, along with a nitecore tip se, nitecore thumb and a nitecore tube. got enough light,

          just want a hunk of metal in the car

          • @tdw: Buy a jemmy. A friend of mine calls it his ‘traffic calming device’.

            On second thought, don’t.

            • @Meconium: yeah it can't look like an offensive weapon ;)

        Be careful where you store it, lithium-based batteries are usually only rated to 55 degrees C, and the interior of a car can easily exceed that in many localities. Glove box likely significantly hotter. Ever burned your hands on the steering wheel?

        I've been wondering if a box, mounted in the engine compartment, might actually be the coolest place in the car for storing things (e.g. asthma inhaler) that has relatively easy access. Obviously don't put it anywhere near the exhaust manifold!

        • Ever burned your hands on the steering wheel?

          lol actually, no, since i have an alcantara-clad steering wheel. but i get what you mean.
          probably not just lithium batteries that are affected by heat - i don't think the summer heat helped the alkaline batteries in my old maglite 3d much either. leaked, got stuck and here i am looking for a cheap but large replacement torch.

          • @tdw: I have a crank-generator type torch in my car, I just hope the plastic crank doesn't go brittle and snap on the occasion when I need it.

            If you have basic electronics skills, and are good at fabricating things, you can make a crank torch that will last a lifetime. I did a bit of experimentation with a NEMA10 size stepper motor, connecting all four phases to a 1-watt LED through a four-input diode bridge (eight diodes). It was surprisingly easy to turn, and gave a lot of light! Making a suitable crank handle is the trickiest part.

            It's possible to get ridiculously large super capacitors now, one could be added to the circuit to give a few minutes of light after you stop cranking. Don't buy supercapacitors from Jaycar though, their prices are ridiculous.

    • Plenty of modern torches have an on/off button.
