same LED just shallow dome and high dome
the high dome projects a at least 5 times larger size of the emitting area to the Aspheric lens
of course the high dome will have like 300% more lumens
result 300%/50060 throw
just read just one of the good aspheric thrower topics with cd measurements
Well my point is that a straight beam gives the maximum throw in potential than a divergent beam. it is up to one to find a good combination of aspheric lens and led to get the straight beam. The sneak preview for this light shows a divergent beam with a Hi undomed led so i think a domed led will give a straighter beam . You can proof im wrong only after you had tested both but not before my friend. As i say i only suspect its the case but it will ultimately be proven only after one has tested both so its premature to make any absolute judgement yet.
So this is another aspheric flashlight that has loads of fins on the slider, which is mass and volume that is not as effective as can be because the heat has to pass the slider/body barrier (in fact a layer of silicon grease in the threads) to get there The heat will get there for sure but the led is left hotter than when the fins can be reached by the heat without passing bottlenecks.
But perhaps in practice there is enough surface area between slider and body that the barrier is not really a bottleneck?
That still leaves the humble and budget sk68 as the only zoomie that has the fins in the correct place.
Cheers, just my little observation from my years of flasholism projects. Its my pleasure to see a young startup that does promising light projects right. :+1:
I’d like to see a well-modded SK68 compared to this.
Of course starting with a $2 SK68 clone and changing the emitter and driver makes it pricier, but not that much more expensive.
