FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

Perhaps you mean “inefficient” instead?

Sign me up for 1 please.

Sign me up for one light, please!

Thanks for both answers! I do prefer the better beam from the 511, despite I prefer even more floody (but not so much “throwy”) of the 10508 optics! The 10511 is fine :wink:

And sorry, I wasn’t thinking about the emitters’ size. So one of the others will do the work :wink:

Thanks again !!!

Interested in 2 lights please. Thanks!

Interested for one

That’s a beautiful boutique torch, pretty much built to order, where choices of LED, external finish etc. can be selected, then waited for.

Like a posh handbag.

At a premium price.

Still, we are talking about $7.5 extra by your numbers for three emitters. That’s not going to work for a $30 torch.

As for “only $30 extra”, well, that’s a first-world problem.

Much as I like the idea of the Meteor, I find my Astrolux MF-01 (second edition) with x18 emitters behind an excellent TIR array more to my liking. It is clumsy crude and heavy by comparison but it works superbly, at a fraction of the price.

After these supposedly ‘tongue in cheek’ remarks & suggestions…… maybe it would be a great idea to not count anonymous votes at all.

4500K Samsung LH351D and I am sold :slight_smile:

Please add me to the interest list for one.

4500K Samsung LH351D

Absolutly the same, please :slight_smile:

Ok, I’m in for one.

You are right. I think XP-L should not be favorite :slight_smile: but your favorite is 1.
1 = first place = favorite
2 = second place = next favorite

5 = last place = worst

If you do not want to choose between one thing and another thing, you can give them the same number (a “tie”) for whichever number they are. So you could pick 5, 2, 3, 3, 1 if you want.

Some combinations of emitter and cct do not exist, so if for instance 4250k wins and we cannot buy an emitter in 4250k so we have to see what else to pick. Or maybe we tested one cct of an emitter but 6500k wins somehow and that emitter is very bad in 6500k; we should not use 6500k in that case.

Fortunately, these ranked results work such that it’s very easy to pick the highest-ranked CCT that exists for a given emitter and still know that the majority prefers it to every other option that exists.

It’s a bit harder to know that everyone would prefer say… a 4000K LH351D (which exists) to a 4500K 219C (which doesn’t exist), but where people haven’t voted anonymously, it’s possible to correlate preferences to a degree.

Can I be put down for one please.

Yeah, but if a 4500k 219c was available but wasn’t very good, we’d have to reconsider, right?

Interested in one, possibly 2.

If I get time I may do some beamshots with all 10507 optics. I do have a single 10508 and 10511 but i’m not sure I want to go swapping all the optics. I just so happen to have these in triples:

Jaxman E2L:

  • Nichia 219C D240 4000K 90CRI
  • LH351D 4000K 90CRI

Convoy S2+:

  • XP-L HI V2 5D 4000K 70CRI

Just from my own description though I feel like it needs to be emphasized that the LH351D has NO hotspot AT ALL. It could pass for a mule. I have reflector based lights with this LED in them that do show a hotspot but all of these TIRs totally smooth it out across the entire beam.
