I wonder if any Olight owners can clarify something about their specs.

Take the i5t for example:

  • Level 1: 300-150-30 lumens, 3+25+122 minutes.
  • Level 2: 15 lumens, 20 hours.

Those measurements for Level 1, does the torch abruptly step down to the next luminosity, or are those readings more like samplings of a smooth discharge curve?

Thanks

    Ya, it’s just based on time. If the battery is low enough it will throttle from that sooner. I’m pretty sure switching back to high mode resets the timer until temperature or battery voltage starts contributing to throttling. I could be wrong on that, I don’t use my olights super often.
