So with the same power it seems to throw more light in the right direction than an A60.
This was only 10 meters distance to the screen, so i’m still not sure what it will do over longer distances.
Quite a bunch of anomalies around the hotspot, which seem to come from the outer perimeter of the recoil reflector.
Will do some more pics later to investigate further.
What bin XR-E and XP-E are you using? I’m wondering how much of the difference is from the emitters themselves. Or, possibly, the difference in emitters could be working the other way, depending on bin, so the difference from the reflector set-up might even be more than shows in the pics!
I have no idea what bin those LEDs are.
The XP-E is from a SingFire 348, so probably nothing special, The XR-E is how i bought the Jacob.
I was assuming it would be similar enough.
Dang, camera battery empty…
I’m trying approx. 20 meters now, but either way, this thing does a nice job throwing in the good direction, but a better reflector would have been considerably better, i think…
The spot @ 10 meters is approximately 50 cm in diameter.
This is a compromise between collimation and focussing, it’s “the best it can do” so to speak.
Hmm, when you put it like that, i guess it’s not too bad.
No i don’t have a lux meter (yet)
I thought i’d compare it with a known light: the Jacob A60.
The recoil setup seems to outthrow the Jacob hands down, which is not bad either.
Hmm that's alright I guess. Maybe look into buying one in the future if you're into flashlights a lot, I got one for $50 a while ago and it has been extremely useful.
For myself, I also contacted a company that makes real reflectors, and it's like $700-1000 for a nice 16 or 20" reflector xD a bit pricey!
