    Little did I know five months ago that I would have the exact TD collection as Melbourne's King Torchmeister! 😎🔦 I did get slightly confused with the description and the subtitles though. You had the TD01c all along and not the linear FET equipped, TD01. The latter sports a shiny black anodization treatment while the former gets a matte black finish. I got the TD01c as my birthday present and it's the biggest torch that I have at the moment. Neither my IF22A nor TS11 out distanced the TD01c! I guess I am done with my thirty flashlight collection, at least for this year! 😁

    @Ellifiknow День тому

    I think an EDC light should be type-C rechargeable, but I don't consider headlamps as EDC lights. I consider a headlamp something you are using as you work around the house/campsite/boat... near your main gear(and charging cords), unlike an EDC light which is something that is with you at all times, ready for any emergency and able to charge with any type-C cord you can find. Also, I think a magnetic charger is superior in most non-EDC situations. Type C ports can get worn out or full of trash or broken. Magnetic ports are always waterproof, don't break or get full of trash. Magnetic ports are better for something you're going to be using a lot around the house/campsite/boat because they're so easy to connect to the charger. As with all things in the universe, there are trade-offs.

    • @DarrenYeoYT
      @DarrenYeoYT 22 години тому

      Those are good points... The durability factor is important. Many tactical lights require external charging and I can the tailcap threads wearing out over a long period.

    I've been to school since 1971 and have had Bensia, Pilot, Staedtler, Paper Mate and BIC mechanical pencils. For a stationery brand that prides itself for making writing instruments since 1883, the Kaweco brand is new to me - let alone a mechanical pencil carved out of brass! 😐 Hey, I remember my dad used to own a ballpoint pen which actually had a tiny light. I only saw it light up once or twice, back in the day while he was writing. I never got the pen to turn on the light - can't recall whether the battery was inserted, the light was defective or I didn't know how to turn it on. As you can guess, it wasn't the pen that fascinated me - 'twas the torch! 🖊💡 And no, it wasn't an LED inside it but a tungsten filament bulb. Don't ask me what its CRI or lumen count was! 😎

      I'd use the red mode a lot, green probably not. I still find it weird at night. I'd treat this as a sort-of compact thrower with some coloured flood modes. Could be useful for people who need to spot animals. Apparently red/green modes are invisible to them.

      You can run the NM1.F1 higher than 5A. Maybe 8A+ according to tests on BLF (djozz). It will throw a little better. I think with the buck driver, it will run cooler for longer. But won't be as bright initially as the linear.

      @@DarrenYeoYT Ta, Darren. I've always been fond of the SFT40 and have never had any complaints about this emitter, but it seems that it's sensitive to the reflector design (the IF24 Pro will readily attest to this). The SST40 is another different story as Sofirn has been mixing lower binned production units with higher binned ones! 😀

I can see how an LEP would be useful as a pointing tool at night (so does any green laser), but the LEP's role is too specialized. The L21B with the SFT40 would be a more useful outdoor torch, in my opinion. Say Darren, you don't happen to have an L21B with a non-green LED, do you? 🤔

    The winding doesn't stop because it's an AUTOMATIC watch. It has a clutch that disengages the crown from the main spring after it's fully wound. If it didn't have the clutch you would break the main spring just by the movement of your wrist, because you are constantly winding it as you're wearing it. The clutch is connected both to the winding rotor and the crown.

    • @DarrenYeoYT
      @DarrenYeoYT 3 дні тому

      Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering how it wouldn't wind it to the point of the spring breaking. As the tension doesnt increase after a certain point. But I have a mechanical watch with no self winding feature, and the crown will stop after awhile and at full tension.

    • @Tom-uj4uf
      @Tom-uj4uf День тому

      @@DarrenYeoYT No problem mate ;-) Yeah, manual wind mechanical watches have that stop that doesn't let you turn more. You also have to be careful with these as you don't want to overwind it past the stop and possibly break the main spring or something else.

      I would like that as well. Hey, mine came with 6 extra clips for the headband. They were in a separate box. Very unusual. They give you the ability to suspend something from the headband but I have no idea what they are for. Did you get them?

    I ended up getting the 2nd version of this with the button to switch modes and have really loved it. Really good size to have a powerful flood and spot.

      The M2X? The mode flood/throw switch location is better placed in that model. I still find the M2 switch a bit fumbly. But it's still one of my fav do-it-all lights.

      @@DarrenYeoYT I find tail switches in general to be uncomfortable too, and this one is so recessed it is even more difficult. I have to grip it very specifically for it to work well with the little button on top... so weird they have messed up this part of the design.

    Приветствую! Есть такой,в чёрном цвете и максииальной комплектации с датчиком и переходником на 18650. Мне нравится. А покрыт похоже краской но не важно.

      Hi, yes the 18650 adapter makes this a more practical light after all. Yeah I don't think it's anodised after using it for awhile, it doesn't scratch the same. More fragile but good for the price

    Excellent review. What I don't find anyone pointing out though, is why on earth did Sofirn shift about the positions of the rotating ring? I own both of them, and it completely messes up the muscle memory! On the IF24 Pro turn it counter-clockwise from Lock to Main light. But on the IF23 Pro, you instead need to turn it clockwise from Lock to Main light - why oh why Sofirn, it's like you had two different separate teams working on these lights and not talking to each other? Lol... anyways, I wish they had stuck with the 5000K tint for the IF23 Pro as in the IF24 Pro, but that's a matter of personal preference of course. Seriously considering de-doming mine for a different tint and a tad more throw, or possibly swapping for a XHP 70.3 HI emitter with a warm tint. Otherwise it's a great light!

      The 70.3HI in this light would be awesome. I wonder how the beam profile would look 🤔

    Didn't realize how useful right angle lights are in this size: can still use as headlamp by clipping to side of bill. Also go hands free by attaching to pants, jacket, shirt, backpack straps, molle straps

    Hello, what size led button would I need for the M1? The 16mm or 20mm

    • @DarrenYeoYT
      @DarrenYeoYT 3 дні тому

      Hi, I just checked and I'm pretty sure it's 16mm as 20mm definately won't fit. This is an 18650 light.

    Light is great! I had one for a while. If the pocket clip was adjustable, it would be a lot better. Being able to mount on a hat or just blue jeans would be awesome!

      Yeah good idea, think it's tricky due to the front facing LEDs. I carry an X1 which is similar on a bag strap.

    Hi Darren, nice review... I have a Fenix TK05R currently .. I did look at Nextorch... How's the quality? I do like the Ring System... Super awesome n looks well made... How's your experience with them? The TA30C looks great.. although I did see the TA15... So I'm thinking

    • @DarrenYeoYT
      @DarrenYeoYT 4 дні тому

      In terms of Nextorch lights, the quality is excellent, as good as it gets for tactical lights especially. I like their attention to detail. Between those, I'd get the TA30C. The TA15 is a bit average in comparison (not as bright)

      It depends on your needs but generally speaking, I carry a tactical style light that also has some low modes. Right now, I'm carrying the Nitecore EDC 29. But I also commonly carry the Convoy S8.

    I have received it and used it last night. I love it! Very noticeable improvements compared to my Wurkkos HD15 which I have been using for a while. Main improvements. Flood is smooth and 5000k comfort. Spot throws very well for a headlamp with the sft40 with 6500k.

    • @DarrenYeoYT
      @DarrenYeoYT 4 дні тому

      It's my main headlamp these days :D as someone mentioned, I think adding a secondary rotary switch to the side to adjust brightness + upgrade to a large metal switch... That would seal the deal.
