BEAMSHOTS and MEASUREMENTS by ZozzV6 (Currently 317 flashlights)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Some new lights arrived and I borrowed some old lights again to re-measure some numbers and measure lumens now with fully charged batteries.
The google tables is the same.

Here are the lights and the line numbers where to find them:
BLF Q8 Stock, just cleaned all contacts: line 5

Imalent HR20: line 38
Nitecore Tube: line 50
Zanflare F1: line 71

New measurements added:
Emisar D1: line 35
Nitecore P12GT updated with current and lumens and remeasured intensity and throw: line 48
Nitecore TIP: line 50
Thorfire TG06S lumens and current: line 62

A lot of new measurement added today. Missing current and lumens for a lot flashlight and some new flashlights with full measurements. And some update on old numbers what last time measured with not full batteries.

Some new measurements added. I don’t know them right now but you can see them in the change history.

But
The big improvement is that I decided to add beamshots to the tables. Yesterday took out 36 flashlights and choosed a place for flashlight tripod and for the camera and I memorized to be able to repeat later with other flashlights. I wrote the flashlight name, mod if they have any modding, current, output, intensity to the top left corner of every beamshot. If a light has underlined blue name it has a link to the beamshot so you can open pictures in multiple browser tabs and see the difference by switching them. If a light has more than one beamshot like the Brinyte B158B zoomie it has the other in the M column at extra beamshots.
In the GUIDE you can see the camera and lens type and beamshot shooting settings. And the whole gallery link if you just want to browsing the pictures.
I hope you like it and I will continue the shooting and measuring as I can.
A teaser with BLF Q8:

Nice job, man. :+1: :student: The bad side of the beamshot pictures, that you took them now, and some of the flashlights you do not have yet.
If you van more torches, PM me, and we find out the best way, to mesure new ones :disappointed:
