ENEDED

Has anyone been able to confirm how accurate the specified lumens are?

Did you read Lexels review?

It shows on the ad that with 30q cells and the xpg3 emitters, it will do 12,000 lumen. That’s about 666 lumen per emitter, which is really pushing them.

+1
Freeme do you have any idea if GB is better than pre-order price?

He was already asked this and said yes, GB will be cheaper. He didn’t say it directly, but gave a wink and a nod. Lol

The light draws 120W electrical power, lets say the driver has an efficiency of 85%
102W

so we talk about roughly 100W to the LEDs
100W/18=5.56W per LED

lets look at http://pct.cree.com/dt/index.html for XP-G3 S5s with a Tj of 50°C for cold start
thats a bit over 13000 Lumens

I am interested, thanks.

should be LED lumen tho.... don't know how much drop does the glass and the optic do.

Interested, looks like the Mecarmy PT60…

So did they change what the double click does or does it still just go to strobe?

I hate strobe! :rage:

I was told that they can make double click to Turbo and triple click to Strobe. Wasted 1.5hr at post office for some returns today. I have to double check with them again.

Interested.

oh, that’s good, double click to strobe is so stupid

One thing is for sure, you cannot use flat top in the new battery carrier. There will be plastic insulators on the anode (+) ends to prevent loading batteries in reserved direction. I suspect you can remove them but you will risk damaging the batteries or even light if you make a mistake for the polarity.

ops, most high drain batteries are flat-top, they cant add reserve protection in driver?

Is it possible to use protected button top batteries? What are the limiting length and diameter?

The cells are paralleled at the battery carrier. Put one in backwards and two cells will be shorting each other out before you can install the carrier in the light.

Throw my name onto the list too please.

This, or add something else. Or just clear instructions in multiple languages and hope for the best?

Please add me to the list. If I understand it right, the cells are 2S2P and the LED's are 3 groups of 2S3P, so perfect for a FET based driver.
