Bangon Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 one could be a 850 NM chip and the other could be a 940NM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebster Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Is this the oslon pill you got from me?.....if it is then send it back and I'll have a gander at it,got a couple going spare here if the driver is dodgy in yours Check your batteries first though just in case,ie swap them with your mates and see if his is still brighter,make sure the pill is screwed in tight as poor contact can lead to issues etc. Will also add the T20's can be prone to condensation on the outside of the lens due to it being glass rather than acrylic and it's thickness,the difference in temp inside the torch and the surrounding air outside can cause condensation,this will clear if it's on long enough for the lens to get hot but if used in short burst's then condensation can occur which will cut down the output,a quick wipe puts it back up.

soulboy1957 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks weebster I'll take a look at my mates pill and see if they are the same,are there different powered ones eg 1w and 3w?. And sorry yes it was the one I got from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weebster Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Mark,still waiting for you to send the torch back,I have a new one here waiting use's a different supplier for the led from the i-led one,could be a mix up from the supplier as I think they also do the lower power oslon black ir on the same star and supply rs.......could also be a dodgy driver but can't tell over a forum You would notice the difference right away between 850 and 940 even in daylight with a mk1 naked eyeball.
