- Runtime: approximately 19 minutes at 200W and 5 hours at 15W
- Weight: approximately 720g
- Power control: IP2369 with fixed CMSA070N10 main MOSFET
- Light engine: fourth-generation CXM32, 6500K, Ra70
- Battery system: 4S pack using four high-discharge 21700 cells

Battery options
Without Battery (default): No battery pack is included. Forge 201 requires a compatible 4S pack built from four matched high-discharge 21700 lithium-ion cells (14.4-14.8V nominal / 16.8V fully charged) with an NTC-equipped protection board. The recommended protection board is rated for 50A; a compatible 25A NTC board is the value alternative.
With Battery: Includes one compatible four-cell 21700 battery pack.
Forge 201 ships as an advanced parts kit for experienced builders and is not a fully assembled sealed flashlight.

Before you order
Forge 201 FAQ
Clear answers about the advanced kit format, 4S battery requirements, runtime, weight, cooling, and sustained 200W output. View Forge 201Is Forge 201 fully assembled?
No. Forge 201 ships as a parts kit for experienced builders.
Is a battery included?
The default Without Battery version does not include a battery. It requires a compatible 4S pack built from four matched high-discharge 21700 lithium-ion cells (14.4-14.8V nominal / 16.8V fully charged) with an NTC-equipped protection board. The With Battery version includes one compatible four-cell battery pack.
What tools are required?
The full build may require a 3D printer, soldering equipment, drilling and tapping tools, and general electronics assembly tools.
How long does it run?
Approximate runtime is 19 minutes at 200W and 5 hours at the 15W setting. Actual runtime depends on battery capacity, cell condition, and cooling conditions.
How difficult is the assembly?
This is an advanced high-power build. It is intended for users with practical electronics, thermal assembly, and mechanical fitting experience.
How does it manage heat at 200W?
The thermal system uses a 50x50x50mm heatsink and a 5010 dual-ball-bearing fan. Cooling performance must be verified during assembly before sustained high-power operation.
How heavy is Forge 201?
The assembled light weighs approximately 720g. Final weight can vary slightly with the battery pack and printed-part configuration.
Who is this kit for?
Forge 201 is for experienced builders who understand high-current electronics, active cooling, mechanical assembly, and safe testing procedures.

Performance proof
Active cooling is designed to sustain the 200W mode without planned step-down under normal operating conditions.
Approximate runtime is 19 minutes at 200W and 5 hours at the 15W setting.
The assembled light balances a high-output thermal system with a handheld body format.
A high-current 4S pack with NTC-equipped protection supports the sustained-output power stage.
Specification-backed claims
Performance messaging is tied to concrete hardware: the IP2369 controller, fixed CMSA070N10 main MOSFET, fourth-generation CXM32 emitter, high-current battery pack, and active thermal system.
