why wouldnt you be welcome here?
your not a braggart, a self proclaimed prophet , :student: , ughh :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: …… , or a know it all
of course your welcome here my friend
Hmmmm… more spray like no doubt said. As well as good cloth… finer the better.
I use the Zeiss spray too, but I mist the lens with it and then clean in a circular rubbing/wiping motion with a bit of pressure… turning the cloth to a dry spot towards the end.
Never had a problem so far. Clean & crystal clear lenses every time. :+1:
That TN42vn looks awesome! Is that Cerakote? Think I read vinh is offering that now. It's like an Arctic camo...
Also good to see the dedomed XP-G2 S4 gets some decent #'s, certainly better than the XHP35 HI can do, but not my much - think vinh's does ~790 kcd. The beam must be like a laser though - maybe some don't like it so thin. Wonder how the beam compares to a smaller thrower with a dedomed XP-G2 in it. Is this your first dedomed XPG2 light?
I had vinh mod a Crelant light for me way back, before I got into modding, back in 2012 I believe. Now he does it full-time and makes a good living from it, and lots of happy regular customers.
I guess performance wise it could be better , if instead of 4P batery carrier & fet driver configuration had 2S2P battery configuration & a mtn buck driver , it would give at least 10% up in the results due to the high Vf xp-g2 …
Vinh is perfectly capable of tweaking or replacing drivers. He works with Richard on custom designed drivers, so anything is possible pretty much. Usually it's hard to find out exactly what he does in his mods though, but I'm sure he's up'ed the amps in that one, probably to the max.
Ohh. Then true, he could have, but might take too much time. He's on the clock with modding, unlike us hobbyists, where we may skimp on money, not time.
But I've seen some pretty good results with 4P setups, like in the BOSS1 - 4 cells definitely get more amps than 1 cell on these, but a buck would still do better. All depends of course on what amps he was able to achieve. Also wonder what XP-G2 he used, surprised he could get good ones still, but I don't know.
Thanks guys. First of all, I like this blf. Everybody is nice and knowledge. This tn42vn have a cerokote coating… vinh mentioned to run a Sony vtc5a on this light… I am assuming it’s for better performance and driver vnx2.
I think so. You can see cuhs on the card. I also know for sure he add cu heat sink on the acebeam k70vn too… he also retune the beam on the all the xpg2 pdt and even xhp 35 thrower light. ( He say it’s hard to refocus the beam)… I take his words since I am not a modder.
When using multiple cells in parallel it’s easier to deal with the high Vf of an emitter. Between Vinh and Richard, I doubt anyone else knows better how to modify a flashlight.
I think the Richard influence/driver design has made Vinh’s mods jump light years from where he was just resistor modding
Plus help from BLF —— The TN42vn XPG2 version was produced right after I posted on CPF about the BLF member doing an XPG2 older bin mod and getting close to 1000 klux—can’t remember his name though
But man the cost—Have you guys seen the price tag on these lights lately
I have been meaning[think I will email him now] to ask Alex if he measured it. I know Alex measured his XPG2 version and got ~ 900Kcd………can not verify the exact measurement.
I would disagree with you. Michael Johnson[OSTS] is at least as good. I am anxiously awaiting his TN42 version. I would bet it will out throw any of Vinhs versions.
I bought one of my first lights from vinh, acebeam t25 with shaved dome. And I have to say that it was actually a pretty terrible experience. First he sent my light to another guy in Sweden… I don’t know how it’s even possible. Secondly, after almost two months when the light finally arrived it was very underwhelming. I measured it significantly less than in its stock form. It was supposed to do over 113kcd, measured it 84kcd… My newly modded C8 is vastly superior at 118kcd.
I paid almost 200 usd with import taxes for a light that is utter crap. I will never even consider buying anything from him again.
