Forge 65
Same 7,000 lm as Forge 66, with a wider beam.
Forge 65 is a compact, fully assembled, actively cooled high-output flashlight built around a constant 65W / 7,000 lm mode, approximately 120,000 cd beam intensity, and 45W Type-C charging and discharging.
- Peak output: 65W / 7,000 lumens
- Output behavior: active cooling sustains the 65W mode without planned step-down under normal use while keeping the handle comfortable
- Beam intensity: approximately 120,000 candela
- USB-C power: 45W charge and discharge
- Full charge: approximately 1 hour
- Runtime: approximately 24 minutes at 65W, 54 minutes at 30W, and 8 hours at 3W
- LED assembly: Changda SFQ75, 12V, 5500K on a thermally separated copper substrate
- Optics: 42 × 32 × 10 mm orange-peel reflector with 42 × 2 mm double-sided green-coated protection glass
- Thermal system: 30 × 30 × 50 mm heatsink with a 3010 cooling fan
Battery options
With Battery: Includes one matched two-cell 21700 pack, ready to plug in.
Without Battery: No battery pack is included. Forge 65 requires two matched high-discharge 21700 lithium-ion cells configured as a 2S pack (7.2-7.4V nominal / 8.4V fully charged) with a compatible 2S protection board. Use cells with sufficient discharge capability for 65W operation. The pack connects through an XT30 lead; loose cells cannot be dropped in.

Forge 65 FAQ
Clear answers about batteries, 45W Type-C power, runtime, and the actively cooled 65W output mode. Choose Your Forge 65Are batteries included?
Choose With Battery for a ready-to-use light: it includes one matched two-cell 21700 pack, ready to plug in. Without Battery includes no pack. You supply your own 2S pack of two matched high-discharge 21700 cells (7.2-7.4V nominal / 8.4V fully charged) with a compatible 2S protection board and an XT30 lead. Loose cells cannot be dropped in.
How does it handle heat at 65W / 7000 lm?
The 65W mode uses a dedicated 30x30x50mm heatsink and a 3010 fan to sustain output without step-down under normal use while keeping the handle comfortable to hold.
Can it charge over USB-C?
Yes. Forge 65 supports 45W Type-C charging and discharging, with about one hour required for a full charge.
Build sheet
Forge 65 verified specifications.
| System | Specification | Value | Build note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light output | Peak mode | 65W / 7000 lm | Constant high-output mode with no planned step-down under normal use. |
| Beam intensity | Peak intensity | About 120,000 cd | The orange-peel reflector provides a balanced spill and focused hotspot. |
| Runtime | Output ladder | 24 min / 54 min / 8 h | Runtime targets correspond to 65W, 30W, and 3W modes. |
| USB-C power | Charge / discharge | 45W Type-C | Designed for roughly one hour from empty to full charge. |
| Main PCB | Power management | IP2369 charge / discharge IC | The charge and discharge IC belongs to the main-board area. |
| LED assembly | Emitter and carrier | SFQ75 12V 5500K / copper board | A thermally separated copper substrate carries the high-output emitter. |
| Thermal stack | Head hardware | 30x30x50mm heatsink / 3010 fan | The lamp-head assembly includes cooling hardware beyond the PCB. |
| Battery bay | Cell format | 2S power 21700 pack | Compatible with JP40 or 40PL-class power cells. |
| Housing | 3D-printed shell | PETG-FG | The printed housing and main structural shell use PETG-FG material. |
| Protection | Battery safety | 2S 13A board | Recommended for the standard 65W configuration. |
| Front optics | Reflector / protection glass | 42x32x10mm orange-peel reflector / 42x2mm coated glass | The reflector shapes the beam while double-sided green-coated glass protects the optical stack. |
Performance proof
Active cooling sustains the high-output mode without automatic step-down under normal use while keeping the handle comfortable.
Runtime targets for 65W, 30W, and 3W modes give buyers a clear power budget.
Type-C charging and discharge support a compact power workflow with about one hour to full charge.
The 42mm orange-peel reflector balances a usable spill beam with focused long-range intensity.
Specification-backed claims
Performance messaging is tied to concrete build parameters: board thickness, charge IC, battery format, protection board, cooling package, and runtime by power mode.
