I got my Amutorch AT40 with 219C leds in. It is precisely as I expected which is mostly very positive.
-a bit weird, my hand keeps trying to slide the head for spot modus :person_facepalming:
-The body seems pretty indestructable
-The clip is extremely stiff but looks cool
-the clicky feels nice and firm (have not opened it up yet to see what type it is)
-the ledboard is 22mm
-mode order is high-med-low with memory
-I measure 820-300-30 lumen (@30sec)
-I have a new toy :innocent: :
(the luxvalue has no meaning in this measurement), the colour temp is 5200K, Ra is 74.4 CRI, and there is no measurable flicker, this light is current controlled. Further the tint is exactly on top of the black body line.
If I have some modding time in the coming month, the leds and board will be swapped, for a 4x4000K Optisolis on a XM-board.
Do you think a MTN Quad XP, carclo optic and glass can fit in there? I want to build a medium power EDC with solid permanent clip and this one looks perfect.
It is your lucky day! The diameter of the Carclo quad is a perfect fit, but in the postion of the picture the legs sit on top of the board instead of in holes, so in a quad build it will sit a bit deeper (which is way better than if it sat too high ). To get the height correct, under the ledboard a spacer (1.5mm?) is needed, I say an old 20mm ledboard with the circuitry sanded off.
The new toy will at least feature in a new luxmeter comparison (it also has luxmeter function), and in various little tests. But it is mainly for own experimentation and fun. It is a little Mavolux Base spectrometer and I forbid everyone to look up the price because it is pretty idiotic that I got myself one :person_facepalming:
(will postpone financial support of family for the next two years )
djozz, can you please tell if the driver is 20mm? Is it press fit or maybe glued?
Also, when you say that a spacer would be needed to fit the optics, you mean that to raise the MCPCB, right? Even with that “raising”, would there be space for a glass lens (above the optic)?
Thank you in advance! I’m still on the line to buy this or not, to mod it… :person_facepalming:
