Thanks for the list.

Just curious, what battery were you running in the Thorfire VG10 when you tested it? Mine will push around 3 Amps on a Samsung 30Q cell. I’m getting 380 lux @ 18 feet (11,438cd) on a slightly discharged cell (around 4 Volt).

10

I don’t really remember which I used but what lights has current measurement it always measured with fully charged battery. I have a couple of samsung 25R-s and 30Q-s for measuring

11

Thanks for this, it’s very informative!

12

And if it counts that VG10 is the groupbuy sandwiched mcpcb version.

13

Thanks for the lumen test… I will wait for the sst40 dedome… by the way, you use Samsung 30q for all the testing right?

14

Almost. I can not measure significant difference with 30Q or 25R. Just capacity. But at these measurements it does not count. It only count in real life usage.

15

ZozzV6, you put a lot of work into these measurements. Thanks for posting your excellent work sir! This helps me make a decision on a mod I’m planning. XHP35 HI really does a good job at throwing. Which is what I love, a good thrower! Thanks man! :+1: :+1: :+1:

Thanks! You’re welcome! :sunglasses:

Luminus SST-40 measured in Convoy C8 with TA17 driver, AR coated lens smooth reflector. It pulls 8,2A and I got 1938 lumens. Tonight I will measure throw and intensity. And after that I will dedome the led.

18

I retried the SST-40 with 4 freshly charged batteries. 3 pieces of samsung 25R and one 30Q
The 30Q pulled 8A
The 25R’s are:
7,9A
8,2A
8,6A
I remeasured lumens with the one what pulled 8,6A and it was 2232 lumens :smiley: So the battery really counts a few hundred lumens.
Now I’m waiting for dark and go out for Cd and throw measuring.

Edit:
Intensity: 70500 Cd
Throw: 531m

Utorch UT01 remeasured with freshly charged 14500.

20

That’s ridiculous lumen and lux… great mod. Dedome will even give you more throw. I like both sst40 dome on and dedome.

21

Thanks!
The lux numbers getting interesting just now.
After dedoming the SST-40. I got 133600 Cd in the same setup (Convoy C8, TA17 driver, AR coated glass lens, bypassed springs, SMO reflector) which is good for 738m throw. The tint is not shifted much as Cree Leds after dedoming. I like it very much.

22

New flashlight measurements added to line 19 and line 56 in the google tables. Convoy L6 XHP70.2 and Thorfire VG10 triple Nichia 219C

23

New flashlight measurement added to line 63 in the google tables. It is a remeasuring of the UT02 what is now R100 resistor modded. You can see stock numbers in line 62.

24

Thanks v6… damn u got more lights on the list…

25

Thank you! I got a few but I sold a lot and half of them is not mine just got it for measuring.

26
