milli-candela? I think that is for another BLF project, which is interesting as well: a sub-lumen light with the right tint and runtime.
But of course the idea is ‘BLF Mcd’, which I find a great name, and also a name to stay focussed on the goal here.
I am in the process of being convinced by the last few mails that throw is the single most important goal of this project. I would like to refine that with maximising throw/volume and throw/weight. I add the last one for myself because there is a tendency on BLF that weight=good, while I totally disagree with that: IMO weight is a necessary evil. (Olight understands that btw)
Subscribed, interested if it's all about throw. I think there is already plenty of lights that has lot of spill or large hotspot.
Just to toss it in the air for a name how about: "BLF FLB", as in Fearsome Long Beam :)
Anyway I think BLF MCD is quite good name too. If it really hit that MCD marker, otherwise I think it's more like exaggerated advertisement. We already have chinese lumens. I do not want to throw advertised in the same way.
