Forge 65 is a compact actively cooled high-output flashlight kit 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

Without Battery (default): 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.

With Battery: Includes one compatible two-cell 21700 battery pack.

Forge 65 ships as a parts kit for experienced builders and is not a fully assembled sealed flashlight.

Is Forge 65 fully assembled?

No. Forge 65 ships as a separated parts kit for final assembly.

Are batteries included?

The default Without Battery option does not include a battery pack. It 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. The With Battery option includes one compatible two-cell battery pack.

Does it require soldering?

No soldering is required for normal final assembly.

What tool do I need?

A screwdriver is required for assembly.

How difficult is the assembly?

The kit is designed for simple final assembly: seat the body parts, fit the front glass, close the rear cap, and tighten the screws.

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.

Who is this kit for?

Forge 65 is best for experienced builders who are comfortable assembling and maintaining high-output hardware.

Performance proof

Peak output 65W / 7000 lm

Active cooling sustains the high-output mode without automatic step-down under normal use while keeping the handle comfortable.

Runtime ladder 24m / 54m / 8h

Runtime targets for 65W, 30W, and 3W modes give buyers a clear power budget.

USB-C power 45W in / out

Type-C charging and discharge support a compact power workflow with about one hour to full charge.

Beam intensity ~120,000 cd

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.
