It looks like a single-stranded, positive-sense, enveloped RNA flashlight.

Please dont make this light with the built in battery pack…

Not sure on this, for me the colour LEDs are a waste as don’t want or need them. Would prefer xhp35HI’s, be them In a reflector or optics (narrow focus). As for battery packs, presuming it’s an 8x18650 light, sometimes carriers are not user friendly . When I use the tk75 with added run time kit(4+4 ), it’s a pita swapping out in day light….never mind in the field. Carriers do have advantages at times, plug in and charge wins for me in this case….subjective I know.

Without active cooling it would be nice presse-papiers.

The soda can flashlight war is heating up.

With NVSU233A it will be great stuff for finding and frying scorpions :smiling_imp:

Best UV LED in multi-purpose (and multicolor) flashlight I’ve ever seen. Hope it will have nice UI with so many different LEDs on board.

Don’t worry, pure flood with weak throw will underwhelm quickly, unless you dont have any other monster light, those larger XHP50 dies barely got anything to collect them.

Big flood is where it’s at after the thrill of big throw is gone

And then there’s also the universal law: lumens sell

Vinh’s lights sell, so obviously there is a market for lights with stupid high lumen values. I think Acebeam is doing something interesting by offering lights of this category as a main stream company.

I am sure this flashlight will have it’s driver removed and fit in the 17mm direct drive from RMM/MTN wrapped in kapton tape to make it higher-end, because Vinh light baby.

I meant to say lights with under 25Kcd (guessing 20Kcd?) are underwhelming lights when they produce 25Klm, it is that much more floodier/spreadier/underwhelming for the amount of lumens.

Hey how are you doing man, nice to see you back. :partying_face:
Yeah I know what you mean. You need to have the right environment to benefit such output. Dense forest with super tall trees in a ~10 to 20 meter range will make the light shine. In an open environment you will be blinded by the spill in front of you while a large part of the lumens will be tossed in air making it useless.

Quote: “…In an open environment you will be blinded by the spill in front of you while a large part of the lumens will be tossed in air making it useless.”

Yes, true, correct, succinct and well said. I agree that most of the light is tossed away from where it can be of use, and the close in glare makes viewing anything impossible. I have several legacy lesser flooders that do this not quite on such a grand scale. I do not need the current offering that does this in the biggest way.
