ENEDED

Thanks, I use the same adhesive and will probably add some ice blue trits that I have left over to my light but my UV light is dead so I have not tried to mount them. A little disappointing that they stick out above the surface because if they can be broken I usually find a way to manage it

Received my blue with XHP35 HD CW today. Somewhat disappointed in the blue color of my example as it’s a deep navy blue, (almost black in certain light), as opposed to the beautiful bright blue freeme showed with his example.

Other than that, the light is flawless. No flaws at all in the body, lens or reflector and a beautiful pure white beam with no hints of blue or green. Just the way I like it in my lights. It’s as beautiful a beam as in my D1 and that’s saying something.

It came in a box with cutouts for another light but no big deal. I agree with another poster about the ramping being kind of slow, slower than my D1 but again, no big deal.

The switch is a little “rubbery” or “squishy” feeling but I can live with it.

I have a Butler Creek Blizzard flip open scope cover for this on the way that I’ll apply the diffusion flim to like I did with my D1 which will make the light even handier.

Al in all, this light and my D1 are true BUDGET LIGHTS! With all you get for under $40.00 make these true bargains!

I noticed that about the depth of the trit slots right off.

I took my SC26 that arrived earlier today out to play this evening and and was surprised at how tight the beam was, considering I ordered a HD. Looked closer at the LED with a magnifier, NO DOME. Checked the box XHP35 HI. My invoice clearly states “Design: XHP35 HD NW” (at least they got the NW right). My bad for not checking everything out thoroughly before I installed the Trits, lesson learned (yeah, sure.)

Im surprised you bought a NW. I thought youre a CW person.

I want to try something different… nw is actually not that bad… i use these lights for the short range between 50 feet to 200 feet… nw is more easy on eyes and doesnt bounce back bright white light like a cw.

I just found out nw is good for indoor lighting such as warehouse, rooms, and even trees…

I too like NW for lighting indoor trees

Honestly, there is not much difference between the two beam profiles. My HD has a more pronounced corona around the hot spot, my HI has a bright hot spot that fades to the spill with no pronounced ring. My personal thought is the reflector style/design with the domeless HI emitter produces a better beam.

Here you go. The trit sits .55mm proud. Which means, the slots are only about 1mm deep. I didn’t install the other 5 because of this. However, the single trit above the button, makes finding the button at night easy. Used Norland UV adhesive, cured for 3 minutes.

Has anyone taken the driver out to see if it can be replaced or modified to increase the output?

Still waiting on mine; USPS has been saying “In transit to next facility” for the past 3 days. So it’s in the US, somewhere… :weary:

Thank you, that’s exactly what I wanted to know.

One trit is probably the best idea for someone like me, if it can be broken I will find a way. Will have to wait till my new UV light gets here. I killed the last one :person_facepalming:

Haha! grab youself a convoy uv. I’ve installed close to 700 trits with it, and it’s still going strong.

I like the color on the SC26 NW alot too. It looks about 4700k with no green. I think most people hate NW/WW due to the yellow, which is really because of tint being above the BBL resulting in greenish/lime/yellow. I am a WW/NW fan but I can’t stand yellow or green so the tint is as important as CCT. I think 4000k to 4500k works best for outdoor wilderness use as it simulates daylight colors the most to my eyes. I compared side by side with CW inside a dense forest and CW makes colors washed out and pale whereas NW with HI-CRI gives the forest life and colors are much more vibrant and saturated like it appears in daytime. However, with the Skylumen Delta, I’m kinda starting to like CW (with little to no blue) for throwers. It looks freaking intense.

If there’s still time to jump in on this, I’d love to snag one!

Interested. Can I get in on this? Thanks!

Also interested, is it still possible?

That sucks about the trits.

That’s a great idea about just putting one above the switch. I bought 6 trits for this light but it’s only going to get the one.

Order placed for the SC26.

Will have to dremel the trit slot a little deeper for the power switch.

Am I the only one that was surprised by the fact that the side switch ONLY lights up blue when the light is on? I was hoping the switch would glow when it’s just sitting on the shelf…

Also, the HI (dedomed version) neutral white is much more yellow than I had anticipated. The HD (domed version) is a great neutral white. Side by side, the HI is well…. pretty dang yellow :weary:

For those of you who are interested in the disassembled pics of the light, below are the pics that khas took and posted elsewhere.
