Bundle and Guide

Construct High quality and Disassembly

Regardless of Urflamp being a brand new model (at the least to me), and having an uncommon title (at the least to me), the C6 enters the market seeming like a mature product. Construct high quality is superb and the sunshine feels stable. The Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight lacks among the issues (shortcuts? cheaper choices?) a brand new model would possibly use.

For instance, the anodizing on the Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight appears nice!

Whereas these openings within the head is likely to be thought-about cooling slots (and they’re, positive), in addition they appear completely sized for tritium vials, too! This one way or the other doesn’t appear extreme, regardless of the remainder of the sunshine being pretty unadorned. However even if you happen to don’t determine to fill the sunshine with tritium, these at the least serve to assist in cooling.

The tailcap (and solely the tailcap) is detachable. Threads are anodized, appropriately lubed, and never overly lengthy. It is a good setup!

There’s a magnet within the tailcap too, which you could possibly in all probability take away by eradicating that spring first.

Contained in the cell tube you may see the constructive contact – only a button (no spring.)

Dimension and Comps

107m x 24mm and 123g (with cell).

If the flashlight will headstand, I’ll present it right here. If the flashlight will tailstand, I’ll additionally present that right here too!

Right here’s the check mild with the venerable Convoy S2+. The model beneath is a customized laser-engraved Convoy S2+ host by GadgetConnections.com. I did a full publish on an engraved orange host proper right here! Or go straight to GadgetConnections.com to purchase your Convoy S2+ now!

Within the photograph above, you might be aware that the SRM (normal reference materials) flashlight for comparability has modified! I used a TorchLAB BOSS 35 for ages. Now what you may see because the 18350 SRM is the Hanko Machine Works Trident. Whereas I’ve not reviewed or examined the Gunner Grip model seen right here, I’ve examined a Hanko Machine Works Trident Whole Tesseract in brass. I really like the Trident, and it’s a pleasant juxtaposition beside the cheap Convoy S2+, which I additionally love to make use of as an SRM.

Retention and Carry

The Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight ships with a pocket clip put in. The clip attaches to the top finish (solely) however is a two-way clip. It’s versatile.

A lanyard is included, but it surely attaches solely to the friction-fit pocket clip. Perhaps not essentially the most perfect connection.

In case you go for the headlamp model as I did (or as Urflamp did for me), you’ll get the scarf seen beneath.

It’s a stretchy band and has an over-the-top connection too.

Unusually, the complete band has silicone grippy bits on the again.

It’s potential to take away the highest strap.

Weirdly the scarf connection (whereas safe) doesn’t essentially appear made for this mild. There’s no groove on the tail finish to simply accept the scarf strap, for instance. That is additionally what I’d name the “previous sort” of headscarf connector – extra corporations at present use clip in arduous plastic connectors (and I desire these.)

Within the tailcap is a robust magnet, too.

Energy and Runtime

The Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight ships with a 3800mAh 18650. It’s a regular cell, too, so you may doubtless use any button high cell.

The 18650 goes into the Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight within the traditional means – constructive finish towards the top.

Under are plenty of runtimes. I examined Turbo twice (as a result of I forgot to attach the temperature sensor on the primary one). They need to be practically an identical.

I admire the regulation on all modes.

The swap does point out when the cell voltage will get low and the sunshine finally shuts off. The swap may also point out the facility stage proper after the sunshine is turned on. Ranges are as follows:

Inexperienced: ≥90%
Inexperienced flashing: 40% to <90%
Crimson: 15% to <40%
Crimson flashing: 0% to <15%

Charging

The Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight has built-in USB-C charging. There’s a charging port on the top.

I forgot to indicate it wherever apart from the intro photograph, however there’s a press-in cowl for this port, too.

Urflamp features a C to C charging cable.

Charging through A to C or C to C is ok, and each peak at round 2.4A. That’s fast, however nonetheless effectively below 1C for this 3800mAh 18650.

Whereas charging, the swap is crimson. When charging is full, the swap turns inexperienced.

Powerbank

The can be used as a powerbank (or “reverse charging”) – I haven’t examined that but, however I’ll add a graph right here quickly.

Modes and Currents

Pulse Width Modulation

Not one of the modes use PWM.

Right here you may see a “baseline” – a chart with virtually no mild hitting the sensor.

Then there’s the Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight, which has among the worst PWM I’ve seen. It’s so dangerous that I used a publish about it to elucidate PWM! Listed below are a number of timescales (10ms, 5ms, 2ms, 1ms, 0.5ms, 0.2ms) to make evaluating this “worst” PWM mild to the check mild simpler. That publish additionally explains why I didn’t check the WF-602C on the traditional 50us scale.

Person Interface and Operation

There’s a single e-switch for controlling the Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight. There’s an alternative choice although!

The top has a sensor! In truth, Urflamp makes use of this characteristic proper within the product title – C6 Sensory Proper angle Flashlight.

The e-switch is pretty proud and “domey.” Motion is deep and actually not my favourite. I’d desire a flat button.

The swap additionally has a sign characteristic – it may be crimson or inexperienced. Each colours can blink, too.

Right here’s a consumer interface desk!

I don’t normally care an excessive amount of about movement sensors for working lights, and that’s true right here too. This one does appear to work effectively, although, and I admire that.

LED and Beam

Urflamp says the emitter within the C6 is a Luminus SST-40. The emitter has a TIR that gives nice throw, too. It’s a pleasant combo!

The beam may be very tight!

LED Coloration Report (CRI and CCT)

I don’t imagine Urflamp makes a declare concerning the CCT but it surely’s pretty affordable – within the low 5000K’s. Impartial to chill, which isn’t too dangerous. The CRI is low, within the mid-60s and notably, the Duv is “constructive to very constructive” making a greenish beam. The inexperienced beam is most notable on the decrease modes, which you’ll be able to see beneath.

Beamshots

These beamshots are all the time with the next settings:  f8, ISO100, 0.3s shutter, and guide 5000K publicity. These pictures are taken at flooring stage and the beam hits the ceiling round 9 ft away.

Tint vs BLF-348 (KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b model) (affiliate hyperlink)

I preserve the check flashlight on the left, and the BLF-348 reference flashlight on the appropriate. These pictures are taken round 18 inches from the door.

I evaluate every little thing to the KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b BLF-348 as a result of it’s cheap and has one of the best tint!

Abstract and Conclusion

The Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight pleasantly shocked me. The construct high quality is nice. Urflamp does have a bunch of different flashlights, so it’s not a completely new model (or at the least this isn’t their first mild), so it’s no shock that the C6 is pretty mature. There are quite a lot of issues to love right here, together with nice throw (and a decent beam) in addition to an affordable consumer interface (apart from mode reminiscence and no choice to begin in Eco). The scarf and different options just like the sensor are all excellent, too. At $65 (or $81) there’s going to be quite a lot of excellent and acquainted competitors, however the Urflamp C6 proper angle flashlight does carry the products!

The Large Desk

^ Measurement disclaimer:  Testing flashlights is my interest. I exploit hobbyist-level gear for testing, together with some I made myself. Attempt to not get buried within the particulars of producer specs versus measurements recorded right here; A specific amount of distinction (say, 10 or 15%) is completely affordable.

What I like

• Nice construct high quality
• Plenty of options
• Sensor works effectively
• USB-C charging works effectively too
• Can work as a powerbank
• Affordable consumer interface

What I don’t like

• Can’t get to Eco (or Low) from off
• Constructive Duv (inexperienced beam)
• Deep urgent the swap
