NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XP-G R5 LED Flashlight $94.14 Core has made many different lights, including light with stepless brightness selection and with a ring for brightness selection, but this is the first time they combines these two abilities to a light with a stepless ring to select brightness.This light is supposed to be the start of a series, the supplied manual covers both IFE1 and IFD2 (2xAA). The light is made of aluminum with hard-anodized (Type 3) finish. The light is supplied in a plastic case, I believe that this is a rather elaborate box to supply the light in.The markings on the case are easy to remove, making it possible to use the box for other stuff.Here is the contents of the case, the light a lanyard, extra boot for the tail switch, spare o-ring, a manual and a warranty card.From the front the bezel ring in titanium can be seen protecting the smooth reflector with a XP-G led in the bottom. The smooth reflector gives a few rings in the beam, but does not succeed in making the light a thrower.At the back of the head is the magnetic control ring. This ring has one stop, where the light is in standby (light off, but uses power). Turn one way and strobe is activated, turn the other way and the light start at low brightness and about 270 degrees later is maximum brightness. There are a few problems with this implementation, it is not possible to select the lowest brightness light level, because the ring will snap back to the stop. The regulation is linear, this is not very smart because most of the 270 degree rotation only changes the brightness a little bit, all the brightness change is in the small part just before the stop. 270 degree rotation to change brightness is also a lot of rotation, 120 degree would probably have been enough.The sos function is hidden, to trigger it the brightness must be turned high/low 3 times fast, then it is possible to adjust the brightness of the sos. To leave sos, adjust the ring to very low brightness or turn the light off.To illustrate the log/lin issue I have made a curve with a logarithmic scale (This curve is a calculated curve and not measured on the light).The blue line illustrates how the ring feels, where most of the regulation is just before the stop. If the ring had used a logarithmic scale the perceived brightness would have followed the red curve.Triangular threads with a smooth feel, there is a o-ring at the end of the threads. It is possible to lock out the led by losing the head, but this will also break the o-ring seal.The head has a nicely done finish on the battery side, no circuit board is visible and with mechanical polarity protection (The plastic ring around the center).Looking into the body there is a spring.The knurling has some bite to it, especially on the ring.The light has a titanium clip that is screwed on.The switch is a forward switch, the guard around the switch is not high enough to allow tail standing. The lanyard can be mounted in holes in the guard.I could dismantle the light into these parts without tools, but on s |

NiteCore EX11
Tailcap stand
The Nitecore EX11 employs the latest generation patented "Smart PD" technology, substituting a conventional mechanical contact switch for a microprocessor-controlled alloy piston drive. This new innovative system not only offers unprecedented ease-of-use through its single button interface, but is also extremely durable and robust, making it almost impervious to dropping impacts or failure due to overuse. Moreover, it uses a premium Cree XP-G R5 LED, incorporates infinitely variable brightness ramping and can be smoothly ramped either up or down and set anywhere between 5 and 200 lumens. The maximum runtime can be extended to 80 hours on its lowest setting of 5 lumens. If you have been searching for a compact and durable high output flashlight in mind….The NITECORE EX11 is the right choice.
