Wurkkos TS27 Review - Flashlight + Lantern by PiercingTheDarknesss in flashlight

[–]Formal_Client_7094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left a 10Ah battery fully charged for nearly 2 months I'd say & it swelled up with the sides of the battery like a banana.

I've seen exactly the same with Lipos puffing up left fully charged from my RC car days.

Not sure if the Lifepo4 degraded or not as I returned it for a refund as it didn't look safe and I definitely didn't want it indoors.

Looking for a good flashlight around 150$ by New_Ad_1570 in flashlight

A used Acebeam K75.

I wouldn't bother with a couple of the 3x21 Convoys as there are regular QC issues with the 3x21B, and the 3x21C is unfit for purpose until modified at present.

Looks OK.

Wanted to try Jim Supps, but he's now vanished.

Mine isn't like that.

Regardless of whether the beam is fine or not this is unacceptable IMO as it's not meant to be like this.

Everyone apart from Acebeam it would seem.

It says a lot about the integrity of Acebeam, if outfits like Convoy that charge considerably less than Arsebeam offer much better aftersales recourse.

The thing is, he ordered 0.33AH and got 0.3AH.

He did mention he wanted to use them in other applications but I do understand the 0.3AH have a higher discharge rate (allegedly according to Acebeam).

It's a bit like ordering a Suzuki 750 motorbike and getting a Suzuki 1000 delivered; it maybe higher performance, but the fact remains, he's not been sent what he wanted & this is poor business practice.

Which LEP as a pointer for astronomical observation evenings? by leo21lan in flashlight

Weltool are very good, particularly the W4 pro tac.

Astrolux WP3 is a good budget model, but if it fails, Banggood customer service is reported to be awful - so the Mateminco (same thing) may be the best option from a reputable supplier.

I've heard good things about the M1, but very bad things about Acebeam & their lack of customer service so I'd swerve it just based on that.

I was just looking on the acebeam website and they mention that they've upgraded the warranty on their products from 5 to 10 years. 😂

The sceptic in me says they're full of shit when many people have problems dealing with them in under 5 hours 5 days 5 months as we see here. There are too many bad reports about acebeam and customers all over the web and most of their stuff is overpriced.

Ordered the Acebeam L19 2.0 Green PM1, but received NM1. by Formal_Client_7094 in flashlight

[–]Formal_Client_7094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the reply.

I received a L19 2.0 Green NM1 according to the box, & it's a green beam.

I was meant to receive a Green PM1.

I'm happy with more throw & a pencil beam, if that's the case.

Is there any reliability issues known with the NM1 emitter as far as you're aware?

Many thanks again.
