I know this is an old thread, but I'm still hopping to get some replies ...
In about 2 weeks I will be in Belek, Antalya and was wondering if you can recommend some dive centers at max. 1 hour distance from Belek?
Considering that I will use the torch mostly during day in water with relatively good visibility, I guess a smaller beam angle is better. So, don't you think that US-15's 10 degree is a bit to much? I was thinking about GralMarine KX Max with 8 degree beam and 1200lm.
I don't really find much...
If you would have to choose between C/R14 and 18650 (let's say both top quality), which one would you chose?
And what about choosing between XR-E R2 and XM-L T6?
Thanks Lucca for your input.
Yes, the AAA worries me too, especially since the burn time is 2 hours. I sent an email to the manufacturer to check if they can be replaced with 1x18650.
The US-15 looks even better with the XML-T6 LED and 3xC offering 4,4h burn-time.
Do you know if you can use...
I made some further reading and this lux calculator based on the lumen and beam angle, helped me understand a bit better my needs. As such Intova's Ultra III was replaced by IFL 660 (300lm, 8 degree, 3h burntime) and Search (800lm, 8 degree, 7h burntime). At the 1st one the CR123 and at the 2nd...
Did anybody used it? Any opinions of this torch and on the manufacturer in general?
Tecline LED US-12, 8W CREE XML-U2, 800 lm, 6000K-7000K, 10 degree, 3xAAA, 2 hour (!), 132mm x 42mm, 180g w/o batteries.
I got a very good deal for Intova WA and Ultra III, so my list is now reduced to these. However, leaving specific manufacturers and models aside, could you please help me understand my needs.
1.) I have read in quite a few places that "less is more", but what exactly means less in my case...
Thanks Buddhasummer for your thoughts.
1. I agree that an adjustable one would be the best for me at the moment, however I'm wondering if 250Lm is enough? It is half of Ultra III.
2. Do you think holding the Ultra III with its 21cm/8.3in on a similar hand sock (not Goodman handle), would be too...
Can you please assist me in deciding on which torch to buy from these two?
L4M Backup TEC (330lm, 7 degree beam, cca. 5h, 138mm, 220g, 1 x 18650)
Intova Ultra III (500lm, 14 degree beam, cca. ?h, 210mm, 505g, 6 x AA).
I'm diving only on holidays (unfortunately), so budget (<EUR80/$100) is an...
Hi,
This is my first post on this forum, so Hello everyone and a big thank you for every contributor.
I read the whole thread about TRJ1, but I'm still undecided if I should go for the J1 or J2. What is your opinion? What advantages would have one compared to the other?
Does the 2x18650 of J2...
