Lights. CREE XML XM-L T6 / U2 etc Thread

[MrGrumpy]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121232830034 those are what I bought for my two torches. However coming from the old reclaimed laptop ones I was using these were a marked improvement. More to do with output I could run both my torches on medium and get at least 3hrs runtime with really good output on the Cree XML T6 LEDs. To be honest on the 502b torches the diff between medium and full wack, is not huge but runtime is useless.

Hi, I received one of these ebay specials for Christmas, the only question I have is over charging as there were no instructions. Does the LED on the charger change colour to signify a full charge?

 

[Cubist]

Yes. It changes from red to green when fully charged.

 

[SWSteve]

Yes. It changes from red to green when fully charged.

Thanks

So I need this and fill it with torchy batteries?

That certainly looks the same as the ones we got, I'm just using the original charger I got with the T6

Excellent, thanks guys........

 

[Cubist]

Excellent, thanks guys........

if you use the charger that came with the lamp, make sure you get protected batteries. Otherwise torchy recommends xtar or trustfire chargers

Good price that and delivered. Better than I could do.
