I got a higher reading at 15 meters when compared to a 10 meter throwing distance when I tested my GT.

128

Yes, most get higher readings are 15-20m.

If you do not then that is usually a sign that there is too much particulate in the air, be it humidity, dirt, dust, pollen ect.

I was thinking in driving the XHP-70.2 LED at 12v not 6v, but I have decided to wait until a better driver is availableā€¦

130

Speaking of said better driver. I have the parts incoming to test the prototype XHP70.2 TA driver for the GT next week if all goes well.

131

First in line when you start sellingā€¦

132

Also getting a prototype XHP70.2 mcpcb to test as well. :sunglasses:

Really pressing for them to make these for modders.

133

Thanks Ta , this is awesome !

Lux reading at 7 meter throwing distance for BLF GT.
1.163Mcd which give a throwing distance of 2157 meters.
.
.

Measured at 20 meters. 1.153Mcd
.
.

Thrunite TN42.
Measured at 10 meter 701Kcd

135

TN42 should be doing 750-800.
I would recommend investing in a real luxmeter.

136

NO 750Kcd to 800Kcd is much much too high for a non mod TN42.

137

Where did you get that from? Highest number Iā€™ve seen is 728ā€¦ The rest hover around 700.

138

Youā€™re right, my bad, itā€™s 700-750.

139

Any suggestions?

140

I see 720Kcd from my TN42.

141

Read above, but the LX1330B is the best budget luxmeter.

142

OK,Iā€™ve got it right now from Amazon.de.

143

I would get the ā€œrealā€ LX1330B (Dr. Meter brand) , but shipping + import fees is 29$ extra !

144

Why do you say the others arenā€™t real.
Do you have a reason to believe they are different?

145

Dr. Meter released the LX1330B , and later the other no-name LX1330B appeared . I donā€™t know if the internal components and itā€™s calibration are the same or not .

146

The one that TLF tested and found good was actually no-name:
